Raven Aster Willow

Princess of Aciras

Walking to the dining hall has her heels clicked, Raven would give a small smile at her ally's response. She sat at her place at the table, her parents going on about their way. Sitting and speaking to no one, but instead listening to the other's conversations, a small voice in the back of her head would point out the fact that the food should be here by now and the whispers coming from the Kings and Queens table were something out of the ordinary. Glancing over her shoulder, her eyes would lock with her fathers for a split second before they both went back to their previous doings. Sitting and continuing to wait, her father would come over and tap her on the shoulder.

"Raven," he said, his voice hushed, "A word please." Raven glanced at the other heirs, then back to her father. Surely if she slipped off no one would notice the absence seeing as she had not spoken, right? Getting up from her seat and pushing it back to the table where it originally sat, the girl would follow her father out of the dining room and into the main room once more. Her face full of curious concern, it was now Ravens turn to speak. "What is it, Father?"

"The betrothal arrangements have been changed."

"You're kidding me. No one would ever dare authorize such a thing."

"You need to tell the other heirs. As a future leader and the hostess, it's your responsibility."

"Father! You're being ridiculous! This can't have happened. The arrangements were practically sat in stone."

The man held out a piece of paper that Raven took. Looking over it, it was plain to see that her father wasn't joking, lying, or even kidding the slightest bit. She looked back up at him. "I've known you my whole life and I can tell you right now that it was you who came up with this idea and it's is plain stupid. It's going to make our Kingdom look wishy-washy and un-able to make a decision so I hope you're happy." The look on her father's face was shocked. Turning on her heel and gaining her posture, the girl would decide on what had to be done. There was no other choice but than to deliver the message. Walking back into the room, paper in hand, Raven would take a deep breath while walking over to the table and standing behind her chair. Raising her voice once more, she would begin to speak once more.

"Everyone, may I have your attention please." She waited until all eyes were mostly fixed upon her. "I.. I have another important announcement. The betrothals have been changed. I don't know how it happened, but it did and now here is the list." She cleared her throat once more. "Niklas and Mai are still paired as they were originally. Meenakshi Banerjee and Akamatsu Hiko. Amunemhet Sipar and Alva Weston. Lucian Kernaghan and Amberlyn Manera. Alexander Belmont and Julieta Aragon. Liviana Traianus and Lenwood Heath. Cara O'Brien and Zhou Xianshi. Edwin Drakewine and Elizaveta Romanova. Raven Willow and Karma Kennen. Delia Oblitus-Veren and Henry Peterson. I don't believe that the Weston Twins have arrived yet. If you have any questions, I'll answer them to the best of my ability. That is all." Folding up the paper and sitting back down, Raven would wait for reactions and stay silent until she was spoken to.

Selina Thompson

Location:Her home, located in Texas.
Interacting with:Ella, The Other Winners (via video)

"Ella! Ella honey, give me that back." It was officially eight o'clock in the morning and Selina Thompson had received the beautifully adorned box just two days previously. She honestly was still debating on whether to go to Paris or not, but her only way of going was now clutched in the hands of her three year old daughter whilst she ran around the living room laughing cheerfully. "Princess, please give mommy her things back," she called out once more. Her daughter continued to run around the house, her blonde hair much like her father's bouncing freely. "Fine, that is it. Give me that box or you won't go and see the horses today." The little girl stopped dead in her tracks, sitting down on the couch and holding out the box in her little hands. "I'm sorry mommy," she said. Walking over and taking the box back while sitting down beside her, Selina would smile. " I know darling, but how many times have I told you to stay out of my things?"

Ella huffed. "To many momma."
"That's right."
"What's in it?"
"Well... it's.. it's a ticket to a far off place and mommy has to decide to go or not."
"Will I get to come?"
"No, my sweet. You'll have to stay with Uncle Charles."
"Are you going?"
Selina paused. Her brother, Charles, could be trusted with Ella. He had proved that plenty of times. Besides, her cousins were there and everything. Paris was a one time shot and everything was paid for... "I think I am. Here, do you want to make a video with me for the other people who's going on the trip?" The girl nodded her head, smiling. "That's my girl," she said while opening the laptop that was on the coffee table and getting things sat up. "Come on, get in my lap." When everything was ready, Selina leaned over and pressed the enter button, starting the video and taking a deep breath before speaking.

"Um.. hi there, I guess. I'm Selina Thompson and here's my daughter, Ella. No worries, she won't be joining us. Feel free to call me Sea, if you like. I see some of you out bi-lingual and I'm sorry to say that I only speak English, so feel free to make jokes in the other languages that you speak. I am currently the age of twenty-five and live in Arlington Texas. I still have yet to pack, but, you know. This is no where near as detailed as I would hope for, but I look forward to seeing you all in Paris." She shut the video off, uploaded it and proceeded to close the laptop. Now all that was left to do was pack, fix breakfast and call Charles.
