It was not something to choose lightly. Her warm pale grey eyes followed her husband out before the door closed and turned back to Evelyn. Yeah, one of those fights had got her pregnant, arguments could be fun too but this one would be a more serious discussion and their entire household rested on which side they chose. [color=bc8dbf]“I better get some lunch, or at least food. Lest you have to make me.” [/color]Persephone said with a humorous tone going over to an aide table and grabbed a fresh roll of bread, putting some meat, cheese and so into a pair of rolls, it was a light meal but a meal none the less. Persephone yawned a little and shook her head, much as doing better that mission had taken a lot out of Persephone and hardly been pleasant at all. [color=bc8dbf]“Its a big city, even if it feels like a village with the rumours.” She said and added. “Especially the Citadel district.”[/color] The home of the guard, the Barracks, the palace and such as some had come to call it. Gossip there ran faster than any horse could ride. After eating her first cob, Persephone paused and looked a little better having eaten a meal and had something since breakfast. It helped with her bad sleep to at least eat properly. [color=bc8dbf]“Oh definitely, I did not plan to be stuck here over winter, so I do need clothes both nicer and more practical.”[/color] Persephone planned to fit herself out properly while she had the chance, who knew when supplies might be completely cut off or the settlement faced another week-long storm. [color=bc8dbf]“Plus, I have to show I am no hag”[/color] Persephone said with a woman slighted comment, Max had called her a Barbarian… oh, she was no Barbarian. Persephone was very perceptive and rather skilled at reading people thanks to her trade. Her raised eye brow and change at mention of Orion. [color=bc8dbf]“Oh, Orion… your face was easy.”[/color] Persephone decided to be honest about that fact. [color=bc8dbf]“Very Busy man, rumour is he saved Sya too. Walked… Slithered her home after a few too many. Also fought a blight beast alongside my husband he took it down with others. I was a bit out of it but heard the rumours and so later. He is quite the mystery man.”[/color] Persephone said as she remembered something heard from the bath house related to the rumour mill. Oh, she was here on invitation. That was interesting, her family was chosen to be the ones working here as the clothes makers and designers. She was more than just a pretty dress and a dream, she was from an established family. Persephone was not a snob but people were interesting, why was investing and how they came to be. Also her Father was in the same trade and it was down a family line. Persephone could not help but [color=bc8dbf]file this away, too integrated into her way of thinking to just shut it down. “An honour then, invited by the Royals. I can trust your good then.”[/color] Persephone said as she eyed her second roll. Food was helping her feel sharper and more in control again. Having your mind hijacked was a bad feeling mentally and physically. [color=bc8dbf]“You're obviously highly recommended Evelyn, I definitely shall visit your shop. Might as well enjoy what we can.”[/color] [color=bc8dbf]“So, do you have a handsome knight hiding around here? I got stuck in a snow storm with mine, and had to keep warm.”[/color] Persephone asked with a hint of mischief about her eyes, so she decided to tease the younger woman a bit. The woman needed things to do and an idle Persephone was not always a good idea for other people. [color=bc8dbf]“I got stuck on the wrong side of the mountains, half frozen to death getting here, I was looking into supply corruption, if they sold them off. Well… they are having fun now. I might also be the reason indirectly for the new door here.”[/color] She added a little extra. Evelyn was polite enough to answer so she gave a little too. Technically 90% true, her more clandestine purposes were nicely hidden away from view. [b]Mentions[/b] [@Echotech71]
