Crystal blinked at Lord Vaross as he told the news of Narsil's Royal Council. It was an odd thing to discuss such matters with someone outside of your Royal Court, but she said nothing, only watched as Vaross disappeared around the corner, his dark robes trailing behind like an ominous mist. [i]What a strange man...[/i] Her eyes met with her father's again, relieving her own sigh as everyone seemed to return to normal after Vaross was gone. Crystal hoped he wouldn't be making it a habit of stopping by the castle. The man's dark presence was enough to frighten the bravest of warriors. Still, she wouldn't judge the Lord too harshly for he hadn't done a thing to harm her. Yes, staring when you had demonic eyes was creepy, but it wasn't really a crime, which is why she agreed with The King's scolding of Irina. Perhaps Crystal just liked to see people other than herself get in trouble with the King over poor behavior towards guests. After all, the same thing happened to her last night during dinner. 

"Oh stop it, Irina. Paranoia doesn't look good on you." She covered her mouth with her fingertips and let out a soft giggle as she walked toward the stone bench where Lily lay. Kneeling down, she picked up the giant bunny and sat down. "Lord Varros is creepy, but I seriously doubt he had anything to do with what happened." Crystal eyed Irina suspiciously. She couldn't pretend that what the knight said didn't bother her a little bit. "Why would you say something like that anyway?"
