<strong>Erin<br/>The Great Hall</strong><br/><br/>Elise was in a fine temper as always as she came storming up to Erin who was currently in the middle of the room she'd just moved on from oranges to juggling her knives when the princes had walked in now she held two in her off hand and one in her right. As Elise snarled she had to remind herself they were props and as much as she'd like to scaring the little wench would only make her happy for the moment. Instead the Fool smiled serenely and put the knives done, best if they weren't in her hands at the moment, no one could spike her temper like Elise. She was the only member of the court Erin would not miss.<br/><br/>Roran was with his sister stuck to silence by her cruel control over him. It was too bad. Erin knew most of her dislike of Elise came from her treatment of him. She liked Roran he reminded her of a sweet puppy dog and her the cruel master. She could never figure out how a sweet boy like Roran could share a relation as close as twin with the viper Elise.<br/><br/>As always it seemed Elise knew more then she should.l It was only because of a life time of practicing hidding her true emotions that her bright smile didn't flicker when she mentioned knowing Erin was leaving.<em>So much for secrets</em>Erin thought sourly her eyes going to the shocked Roran a hint of compassion in her blue eyed gaze, "Yes." she said simply her smile still in place. "The queen though understanding I could bring with my rhythms, laughter a balm to ease troubled times. A gift of great value her favorite adviser given to their court, I'm to entertain them and give them great sport." She said to him her eyes never touching Elise's ignoring the girl for the moment as she explained what was happening to Roran. As her eyes went back to Elise they narrowed in something close to warning, "A great suprise don't you think it will be, it really will be something great to see." her smile held an edge to it before she brushed her hair over her shoulder and smiled.<br/><br/>"Now down to business you two." She smiled brightly, "I'd hoped you both could help me though I see it's not likely" She said smiling slyly at Elise, "though maybe your sister will reconsider." Something dangerous flitted in Erin's eyes before her gaze settled on Roran. "I'll be starting my show in a moment and be unable to help but I need you to make sure things go smoothly. They may not understand a joke or taunt, show them it's just a game." She said giving him a brilliant smile patting him on the shoulder, she rarely touched anyone let alone a male but it was a sign of her trust in him and a vote of confidence in one.<br/><br/>She turned to Elise her smile cunning, most of the time she hid her intelligence but she was leaving soon anyway, her life in her hands somethings had to change for her to survive in Aserit and she had a feeling her mind would keep her alive far longer then being vapid. Her eyes were bright as she narrowed her gaze at the girl the low light making them and the patch on her forhead flash, "My request of you is two fold. I need you to for once be nice though I know it will be hard for you." Erin leaned in close to her. The two girls almost the same age and near the same size couldn't have looked more diffrent form each other. Erin leaned close to Elise's ear her hair swirling around her shoulders, "I also need you to distract Gerrard." she spoke so softly she knew only Elise could hear her, "with your beauty you should be able to distract him from the frigid tomboy of a princess.' She wrapping a compliment around her taunt as she drew away from the girl a challenging smile flitting over her lips, "or at least one can hope." she taunted aloud her smile challanging, mocking even.<br/><br/>She curtsied smartly to the pair, "I wish I could chat some more but our guests are arriving and I must alert the staff and start my show momentarily please excuse me." She said with a bright eager smile, "I hope you both enjoy." She said before skipping away in a flutter of blue silk and dark red hair. Her first stop was the kitchen were the staff was rushing around. She told them the princes of Aserit were presant and to be ready, dinner would be served the moment the queen sat down. Next she went to the musicians and with a nod they started to play an up beat catchy tune. Erin smiled as she leaned against her scarred wall as she waited. She wouldn't start till everyone was seated and the first course served but until then she'd manage the musicans and make sure all other aspects of the entertainment went as planned..
