She slipped in the back unnoticed- or that had been her original plan when she heard his call. Unfortunately, it seemed she was the first to show up and hiding in the crowd wasn't going to happen. She debated sneaking away until others showed first, but no doubt he'd already spotted her among the vast, open nothingness and she wouldn't chance causing insult even if he was leaving.
Her head was ducked low, and as soon as she saw she was fidgeting she stilled herself. Stiff and rigid she considered her thought to nominate her protector; to have her adopted sister of a sort in a leader position would surely help secure her further safety, but now, here in his presence, she found herself mute. Her pale-blue eyes darted about anxiously, her tongue rendered completely lame as an awkward silence grew.
She'd greet him at least, really she would. Maybe. But all she could manage was to stand as a solid statue to keep herself from shifting uncomfortably, avoiding his -and anyone's- gaze, her colorless mane draped across her face. Perhaps her stillness would allow eyes to only glimpse over her, and quickly dismiss her presence.
Truly, she shouldn't have come out here where everyone could realize she even existed among them, but she should at least know who would take over after he was gone. And pray they would simply ignore her and let her disappear again. Well, it wasn't as if the dark king/god could be ignored anyway.
