[color=0054a6]“Yes, it is magical indeed”[/color] He said out loud before realizing it. Eilis glanced up to Arn, their eyes connecting for a moment before her cheeks flushed at his words averting her eyes down quickly. She couldn’t help but feel warm, surely he was teasing her. Though from what she could discern he wore deftly robes too, making him undoubtedly appear like some powerful lord. She could tell they fitted him rather well. Allowing her eyes to glance back at him every so often to try focus on another thing in the hopes of seeing it better. A second or two passed then reality started to settle in. Arn cleared his throat and turning towards the lady of the house he bowed his gratitude. [color=0054a6]“My Lady and Lord Venray, allow me to express my gratitude at your most benevolent and magnanimous grace you have bestowed upon us.” [/color] The mage was scrambling hard to know what etiquette dictated in this sort of situations. For the remainder of the party, this was nothing more than a family reunion. Protective instinct made him take a few more steps closer to Eilis. Lady Venray smiled warmly at Arn’s proper conduct. [color=9e005d]“It is given with pleasure, but please Lord Arn, I will allow you to address me as Lady Leandra, considering you will be remaining here for some time and amongst family and friends we are rather informal.”[/color] Lord Venray scoffed. [color=9e0b0f]“Don’t be absurd Leandra, if anyone is a stickler for societal norms and etiquette it is you are you suddenly having a change of heart?”[/color] [color=9e005d]“Well, I don’t know what you mean and thus for the sake of our marriage I shall pretend I haven’t heard that.”[/color] She replied back as she stopped waving and shut her fan rather abruptly giving her husband a threatening glare. [color=a0410d]“Now now you two don’t fight, what would our poor guests think of us?”[/color] Uilles cut in before taking another sip from his glass eyeing Eilis for a moment before his focus shifted to Arn, remaining on the man. [color=a0410d]“Master Arn, may I ask you a rather impertinent question?” “Why did you dismiss the offer of being the leader of the Shooting Stars? After all someone with your talent and skill would be put to better use in aiding and guiding those who are not quite so adept at Magic.”[/color] Questioning eyes now turned to him and Eilis could only gaze at him in wonder, why Uilles particularly cared about Arn’s past. The man's focus however remained fixed on Arn and Eilis couldn't help, but feel slightly unnerved as she noticed it.
