Lenally managed to restrain herself, but either of her brothers would be able to tell that she was about 2 seconds from making sure there would be no alliance with Theiri. She wanted nothing more than to punch the little fool halfway across the courtyard and proceed to show her exactly what she thought of her "jokes".<br/><br/>But she managed to feign a smile of sorts, she hadn't realized her reputation had proceeded ahead of her, and been twisted along the way to boot. She simply took deep breaths, doing as Henrik had taught her. Think of something else, focus and don't let anyone see your emotions. She managed this time with a good deal of success. She kept reminding her of the fun she'd have going out into the city, sneaking in some drinks. Maybe even find a way to buy and sneak another weapon into her luggage.<br/><br/>She truly hoped she would not be left behind here in some  snooty realm with an arranged marriage, but the sinking pit in her stomach began to grow as the fool eventually appeared to let her be for the moment and began to lead them to the Queen of Theiri and her children.
