It was a relief to leave the ball, and she thought a statement of her trust in her guards that she had left them behind to follow as they would. Dawn didn't need a large group of people dancing in attendance upon her, but she was glad to have Lyranna with her, and to have a moment alone with her friend for once. "It is, to be in a quiet place, at least for a little while..." she confessed, letting some of the strain from the ball show in her midnight sky eyes as she and her friend made their way to the suite of rooms provided for her and her people in the new sithern.<br/><br/>At the question from Lyra the blond sighed and shrugged her shoulders, happy they were nearly to her rooms already, in that magical way a sithern had of rearranging itself to be helpful, most of the time anyway. "Honestly, yes, it is wise politically, savy even. Everyone will expect the Slaugh and the Goblins to give their support to Aria for High Queen; after all the Unseelie have held their loyalties for so long."<br/><br/>A rueful smile touched her lips, she was revealing just how much she had learned about politics both in the human world and in the fey one. "Fionn likely lost me any good chance at the Goblins, at least for the moment with the little show he put on in the garden, sadly. Fennris isn't likely to respect me much or believe I can back my words or promises of a alliance if one of my own guards acts so badly. So that leaves the Host, the Slaugh, even more fearsome then the Goblins in some ways." Dawn tilted her head, one hand going up to brush her curls over a shoulder, and then she smiled, when she realized they had reached her rooms already, the door opening in welcome as she and her handmaiden glided in and headed for her bedroom, a female sanctuary.<br/><br/>"But...I think it is wise also for my own reasons. It will show the guards that I am in charge, that I must be, a few of them seem to have forgotten that and I do not...dislike Cernunnos, he was a lovely dance partner and very polite. I expect to enjoy my evening and perhaps do something productive." She smiled and leaned over to softly peck her friends cheek. "Does that make you feel more at ease now?"
