Cernunnos turned his attention fully to the Seelie Princess as she moved within arms reach of him. He'd watched her approach from the corners of his eyes, but it would be rude of him to not properly attend to her now.<br/><br/><strong>"Not formally, my Lady."</strong>he replied, with a hint of a smile curving his lips,<strong>"But all here know you. Indeed, I would be quite surprised if there were were any powers amongst our peoples that did not know of this night, and those whom the Goddess would seek to favour."</strong><br/><br/>His eyes flicked across the room to seek out her guard before settling back on the Princess. He lowered his head to speak quietly into her head, letting her head shield his lips from the crowd, his voice low and in a tone that seemed to hold promises of another time.<strong>"I trust your Guard has been counselled properly since the garden. Blood that runs that hot will burn, and it would be a pity to see your lovely skin so marked."</strong>
