Eira observed the room carefully, taking in every possible detail. She noted the king of Tora, along with his son, practically in a huddle, discussing what was no doubt discussing a business proposition or something of the likes. The actions of his grandson, who she gathered was quite ready to leave, were not lost to her. She couldn't tell what they were saying from such a distance, but she gathered by the way he looked toward her, that whatever he had said was in regard to her.<br/><br/>When the young man, who was all but shaking, turned and headed in her direction, she decided that they must have insisted that he speak with her, although she wasn't quire sure what purpose that was to serve either of them. Her face showed no particular reaction as she watched him approach before stopping not far from her. She could tell that he was intimidated by her, although he did well in enough attempting to hide it. "Hello. Darius, correct?" she greeted him in a calm, cool voice. She knew the names of all the kings and queens, princes and princesses, as well as their children, and many of the more significant nobles in the kingdoms with which she was more familiar.<br/><br/>"Is that so?" she questioned, doing her best not to be too terribly intimidating. "And what might you expect to learn from me?" she asked curiously, more to gauge his reaction and to see what kind of a response she would get out of him, given that she doubted he had necessarily expected such a question.<br/><br/>After a short pause to give him time to respond to her question, she addressed him again. "You can sit." she offered, although she was certain that the tone with which she had spoken might have made it seem more like a command or a suggestion than an offer, as she had meant it. She wasn't always the best with people and, occasionally, it showed.<br/><br/>"Unless you plan on doing something completely terribly incompetent or idiotic, or have intentions to betray me or anyone here, which seems unlikely, then you needn't fear me." she assured him, although it was unlikely that the words would do much to ease his mind. The young woman was brilliant, a genius on most account, except when it came to people and their emotions, in which case she was often terribly lost and at times ignorant to the effects that her words or her tone might have on someone.<br/><br/>This was another instance where her somewhat lacking people-skills showed. Had she known better, she might have simply stuck with something along the lines of "you don't have anything to fear from me." and tried to use her tone of voice to portray genuine reassurance. But alas, such things rarely occurred to her, so instead, she spoke with the same cool and calm tone and likely left the young man wondering what would qualify as terribly incompetent or idiotic.
