Long May She Reign
His presence is quickly found, and she smiles as he approaches, but it quickly falters as he appears less than pleased with Mary.
He says her name, it wasn't welcoming, nor aggresive as it had been in the past. She glances over the stag, he looks different since they last met, stressed? It had been a while since she visited Tephra, she should have came back to Loess sooner...because he shares that Vulgaris had beat her here.
She watches as a familiar fire lights in his eyes, but this time it wasn't because of Mary. Vulgaris came to Loess and threatened him? Her eyes grow wide as he tells her, when she had left Tephra they sought an alliance, woulf they dare threaten the kingdom that burned them once?
His gaze finds hers and he inquires about her visit to Tephra, going as far as to ask if she had been taken prisoner. In this moment she wished she had, she had been gone for too long, and now she would pay for it. I'm sorry I wasn't here Castile....I had a child..I delivered her in the Resort where her sister lives...where she lives. A weak excuse, but the truth none the less.
When I went to Tephra they offered an alliance, I am purely shocked at the news they came here to threaten you.... She knows that Castile allows himself to grow emotionally attached to others, a trait she had been able to avoid for some time...but as she fights it in her current days, she seems to understand the pain he is feeling in betrayal. Is there anything I can do for you? For Loess? She asks, she owed him that much.
MARY
