Sybil felt a little more comfortable as the number of leeches in the room diminished. Yet, she realized what was being asked for her. A room to herself would have been a wonderful generosity in any castle other than this one. Sleeping alone didn't come to her as any form of pleasantry. In fact, it sounded almost like a punishment, nothing could be more intimidating than having to sleep alone surrounded by dangerous monsters that wanted her blood. But it wasn't her place or her privilege to ask Prince Cyne to stay with her. She wasn't even sure how he'd respond to such an inappropriate inquiry. Reluctantly, she made her way to the trays of food, she tried to find something that looked familiar.<br/><br/>It wasn't hard to see her continuous unease. Watching her even made Cyne a little uncomfortable, but not in a way he hadn't expected and prepared for. Her every thought was about trying to sleep alone in Elara's kingdom. It was obvious Elara could hear any words they shared, but it didn't impede him any. "Sybil," he started, the regal tone in his voice more relaxed, "You're safety has been assured by the Queen of this realm, you have nothing to fear." His own convictions helped to steady his voice as he tried to sooth her nerves, on Elara's own words, he knew he wasn't going to have anything to fear.<br/><br/>The rest of the dinner seemed to go by fairly quickly, if somewhat in silence. The small amounts of food Sybil had managed to deem edible had actually been quite delicious, but the unanswered questions twisting in her mind remained. The longer the silence went on, the longer they quietly ate their meal, the more she questioned his own arrangements. Not even Cyne had an idea of how to express the situation to the other fiery mage, and the short walk to her room left Sybil with ever more questions than answers. Despite the rather lavish setting of the bedroom, more than anything a simple knight of her caliber was used to, the soft sheets and fluffy pillows couldn't help her drift off to sleep that night.<br/><br/>"Again Elara, you're generosity and forgiveness of my misguided kinswoman is not lost on me," Cyne said, a sigh of stressed release making it's way out of him. It'd been all too fun for him to genuinely lose himself in the new and interesting ways of Elara, and her people. The mage only a room away though, his ever present reminder of his past seemed to rob him of the simple pleasures he'd taken from exploring. Like a small portion of his father had followed him even now. "She's scared right now, but she won't cause any issues with my life on the line."
