Ylrid analyzed the choices and what it all meant as she spoke. If she married him she would have the army needed to take back Norlund, but her love life would be one of misery, there was little doubt about that. If she went the other way and said no she could find happiness in love, but the reclamation of her rightful place would be exponentially harder. This was far more complex than a simple assassination.<br/><br/>"It is fine, I know it can come as a bit of a shock, I myself am not sure what to make of all of it. I am not typically attracted to mere human woman regardless of their radiance, it is just not in my nature. Strong emotions for my kind are rare, it takes a special person, situation, or circumstance to drag them out, so you my lady are a rare breed. Now we just have to figure out what makes you so special."<br/><br/>He wished he had the answer to that question, but he couldn't put his finger on it. She had shown no magical capability of any kind, so he wondered if there was something supressed. "As for Lord Bennington I like the plan of finding a different wife, it is the best outcome for you at the moment. I believe there are other paths to retake your kingdom, but they will take time to find. I do have other bretheren, but our numbers are small and detecting them is not easy if they are in human form. I will help you in your plan though, and if I must I will befriend this Lord Bennington to find what he desires most." Ylrid flashed a thin smile as his right arm touched Eira's left shoulder.
