The female Shade took a deep breath to calm herself, and nodded faintly, pulling on a pair of glossy black leather gloves. "Forgive me. I have been on edge lately. With these upstarts in the West, I'm always worried someone will try to sneak in to reach the Princess." She replies, blinking slightly as her fangs slowly shorten again, slowly appearing more human once more, while pinching the bridge of her nose. The rivaling coven was proving quite the pain for the vampire assassin. She simply couldn't understand why the Princess hadn't sent her out to kill the upstart whom considered himself a Prince. But she wouldn't pretend to understand Luna's mind.<br/><br/>"And thank you, but no. With Syn stuffing that maid of his, it's up to you to guard our beloved Princess while I am out. Bond with her some. You are the youngest of her Shades. Prove to her that you are worth keeping around. All of us are just the last in a very long line of lovers, councilors, and guardians. And not all have fallen in the line of duty." She smiled, reaching out to squeeze the younger Shade's shoulder faintly, before patting his arm. A gesture of encouragement. To tell him to get himself together and go for it.<br/><br/>With that, she smiled and headed into her room, picking up a few essentials, before heading out into the city.
