"Yes, it would make me beyond happy," he beamed. Pookie's claws lightly grazed his skin when he rested his hand on him, making the queen shiver. Van sighed deeply and slow blinked. Adjusting his position a little so Pookie hand was forced a little higher he smiled devilishly back.  "It was nearly done, but it was only an envoy, not the high king himself.  Lord Himal can entertain him for this last hour. His airship needs to leave soon or he'll be in danger of pirates." it was spoken loud enough for Himal to know he was hinting at him to leave, which worked. Himal slowly bowed and left quickly. "I don't like that envoy anyway. he's rather vile.  The high king adores me, but that envoy of his despises me, probably because of that." Van glanced back at the meal on the table and crinkled his nose.  "I know you are healing, but is this even enough for you or have you eaten most of it already?" he wanted to feed him, but watching him eat this scant meal was not as entertaining.
