She’d come across as too severe. [color=peru]“Water frrom a duck’s back, Shezade. It was nae my intent tae.. seem..”[/color] she considered her wording briefly,[color=peru] “disgrruntled or upset. I simply,”[/color] she started, but stopped herself and shook her head. [color=peru]“Nevermind. Please, worry not, Shezade.”[/color] Askel’s suggestion caught her attention, and some part of her knew what she needed. She spoke before she could think about it too much,[color=peru] “yes, that sounds well. Soon.”[/color]

Stratya had her mouth full of her last morsels when Munir echoed her mention of mead. Her gaze came to him quickly, expression considerably lighter than her tone had been previously. She hummed once or twice through her mouthful and flagged down a servant, finishing this course of the Varian Sampler Meal as the servant approached, [color=peru] “would you poke ‘round, see therre’s any of the Durmand Mead about?”[/color] The servant scuttled off, and Stratya turned back to Munir,[color=peru]”ye might just be in luck, Yerr Highness, we shall see. My steward likes tae surprrise me by making deliverries wherreverr I’m going. From my perrsonal supply.”[/color]

[color=peru]“[i]Blood[/i] sausage? Ye must forgive me, but that does [i]not[/i] sound appetizing. Tell me it has another name?”[/color] Surely, that wasn’t the original name of it, or at least someone had come up with a better one at some point. Had to. But, another thought occured to her,[color=peru] “hmm.. hey Askel, let me askel you a question.” [i]Did you just make a [b]pun[/b]?[/i][/color] Captain Durmand did not acknowledge it, though she was not unaffected, [color=peru]“do ya think I could get my hands on some lingon berry [i]honey[/i]? I know Sean’d be keen on making mead from it.”[/color] The gaze she met Askel with was that stubborn kind of gaze that just wanted to move on from a goof.

Aaah, but Askel had missed her pun and, quite possibly, her question. The captain turned to see what had captivated the Knight-Prince so, only to find a gorgeous princess that had arrived the previous day, and what she was wearing! The captain felt her own cheeks flush, as well, as she turned back around. Askel worked quickly, indeed. She shot him an impressed look as she returned to the conversation, but he was turned around and plating more food for them. [color=peru]“[i]Ferrmented cabbage[/i]? I suppose I’ll try it, at least..”[/color] Hearing the words had erased the blush from her cheeks, but she couldn’t help noticing that Munir was also rather distracted. She followed his gaze to find another woman. Ah hah. A couple of love struck fools, was it?

She looked between them a devious smirk touched her,[color=peru] “so, how long have [i]you two[/i] been seein’ each otherr?”[/color] She didn’t ask either of them in particular, hoping to get an answer from both men simultaneously.
