Eliana silently accepted the jewel from the guard, carefully, at that. Her slender fingers softly ran over the sides of the jewel as she turned it slowly in her hands, not answering either of the two who had spoken, instead seeming to check that nothing was wrong or had happened to the precious jewel. After a few minutes of staying silent she was able to assure herself that there were no cracks, scratches, or indents in the jewel, and she lifted her gaze from her lap where the jewel was held near, to the thief, Erin.<br/><br/>"I doubt you don't know exactly what this jewel is, and just how highly valuable it is to me, Erin." She calmly spoke, motioning for another guard to come forth, who did, quickly giving another bow before Eliana handed the man the jewel. "Put this back where it belongs, if you would." She requested, and with a quick nod the man went off to place the jewel back, while Eliana's gaze would once again shift back to Erin.<br/><br/>"I don't appreciate what you've done. Or, would've done." "Milady, it's no use trying to talk with the man- He'll only spew lies and everyone in this room knows that, don't you th-" The head of the guards was silenced when Eliana rose her hand just enough to make it noticeable, as if she had commanded for silence with that simple gesture. "If you kill a man, than you are no better than the men who aim to kill helpless others." She quoted- Something her father had once told her when she'd gotten fairly angry over something that had happened some time ago- When he'd still been alive of course.<br/><br/>"Instead, I imagine..." She seemed to think, keeping her eyes on Erin all the while. "You will serve your time here, as a<span style="font-style: italic">personal</span>servant of mine." She waited, as if to let that sink in. "If you dare step out of line in even the slightest, I will not change my mind again. If you made even one slip up, there are enough guards here to stop you by the time you got to the door. And if not- You wouldn't make it past the front nor back garden." Eliana explained in a matter of fact manner, studying the thief carefully.
