"No, Wrenna! That's not helpful!" Soreth scrambled to get between the two before he decided that it was probably better to just move the sword out of the way. Lifting it up, he glanced around the room for a place to put it before he noticed the servant from before carefully peeking around the doorway to the art room. "Ah! Hold this for a minute. Thank you!" Tossing it in her general direction, he watched a bit warily as she let out a gasp and scrambled to catch it.
Amaryllis had just managed to build up the nerve to make a move, though she hadn't dared to go past the doorway in case the scuffle escalated. Within a few slightly confusing moments, though, it seemed that the king had gotten and between them and-- Aw, heck!
She barely had enough time to react when the sword was tossed in her direction, a rushed spell of her own bursting from her lips to slow the descent slightly so she had a chance to grasp it without injuring herself. It was just a charm she had learned to stop fragile objects from breaking in case of an accident while cleaning, but it seemed to work well enough on the sword to a somewhat lesser extent. It gave her the half-second she needed to locate the hilt so she could move to grab it before it hit the wall next to her, anyway, so she was thankful for that.
Glad to see that she had caught the weapon safely, Soreth let out a relieved breath of his own and gave her an apologetic smile before turning back to the other two and attempting to steer them away from each other. "Okay, I have everything handled, so sit down for a minute and stop moving, both of you! You sit there, and you sit there. Now, Lorne..." He hesitated slightly and took a deep breath before continuing. "...this is Wrenna. Wrenna, this is Lorne. He's a very capable commander-in-training and a good friend of mine. She's currently stuck here and not a threat. You can exchange proper greetings once I remember how to remove that spell. It's been a while since I last used it."
"In the meantime, please stop messing up the room. I just got maybe half of this mess organized and I'm almost done with the latest painting."
