Evangelina Vertesca - Huntress (Narrator)

A bit of activity resounded behind her, but being not in charge or really having anyone in her midst that she cared for in the sense of offered protection or arms, she continued to move toward the sound of soft music and smells of heaven. Turning her head as she entered the room, Eva lifted an eyebrow as the man behind (Marcus) her downed something from a flask, a smirk touching her mouth at the attentiveness afforded a team from a drunk amongst them. Her breath left her as she plowed into someone (Reynault), a soft gasp rising from her lips and a bit off balance lost. She reached out toward the man before her and grabbed his arm to regain herself. 

"I am sorry. I should've watched where I was going. I was a bit preoccupied." She smiled kindly and offered her hand. "I am Evangelia and come from the land of Demura. I suppose you found a place to change into something a bit more accommodating for a dining experience?" She walked toward the table talking to her new acquaintance, her eyes moving across the various offerings before her. Grapes and berries brought life to the table-scape that sat bountiful in roasted bird and beasts, potatoes and yams covered in various butters and sauces and several dishes that she knew nothing of, but wanted to taste nonetheless. 

She took a place at the table and nodded politely as someone from the waitstaff offered her a napkin and silverware. Looking around she took in the various faces and races, the place filled with history and some of the hunters offering their services were legends around Capernaum. She often wondered if the acknowledgement was what brought them running for the next fight or if regardless of age, something still burned within them to press the boundaries of reality and push against the barriers of death awaiting. 

The pale darkness spoke up loudly, jabbing at the oldest member of the group, Eva smirking at the younger man's antics. He was either in search of a fight or attention, neither of which was she interested in. Reaching for a platter of various vegetables before her, Eva took a bit of this and that and turned to the king's adviser as he approached. "I am quite surprised that your father would allow you to attend, Evangelina. The great war monger is not one to offer assistance and most certainly not from his own family." He paused and waited for her to put on display her reasoning for being here.

She smiled with a bit of nefarious intent and nodded, popping a small grape into her mouth and taking her time before answering. "Yes, well, he called for the bravest to come forward and fight in a series of games and I put them all to shame." She smiled and laughed in a manner that made the room feel almost brighter. 

 Zakariah smiled back and shook his head. "I am not at all surprised by this."

"Nor should you be," she picked up her glass and continued to converse with him until the servants stood and the King made his entrance.
