<strong>Name:</strong>Orianthi<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Princess of Aserit<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Entering Theiri<br/><strong>Tags:</strong>Her father in the carriage, and her family riding in<hr/><br/>She saw his smile and heard his words, she knew he did not wish to send any of his children into the lion's den for his agenda. But she was a princess, and as such she still expected that marriage would be something put on the table even if not pursued. Marriages cemented alliances whether anyone truly wanted them or not, and they sorely needed to discuss peace over war. War would do little for either side despite Aserit's great skill and love for it. "Father you should not have to do such a thing alone. I am happy to do what I can for our homeland. There is little I love over my beloved family and my kingdom. I will do whatever it is within my power to help you and mother." she said, her tone strong and proud. Truly she was a fine example of an Aserit woman, bold and opinionated, willing to give her life for her country if it came down to such an act.<br/><br/>She chuckled when he seemed surprised that she'd read his gift for what it was. "Father should you be so surprised? I've found it is very necessary to be aware of all goings on, and I'll not share this secret with anyone. If my own father cannot trust me then I am unworthy of anything." she said, smiling to reassure him. She could read her own father better than most, sometimes over her own dear mother. She was rightly proud of such a thing, but she would never betray him. His intention were his own and she only wanted to create a peaceful scenario to help encourage peace talks rather than dissuade her. There was little advantage in upsetting her father's plans when his plans were only in the best interests for Aserit.<br/><br/>She smiled again as his hand clasped her own, his fatherly words telling her as he'd done many a time at her bedside as a child if she fretted that things would be well. "I know they will be father, I am not concerned. But I shall keep my ears to the ground and should I learn anything I shall inform you at once." she nodded, catching his slight once-over of her gown. She did blush a little at that. If she could rile her own father with her gown, she knew she'd made an excellent choice. How a woman dressed could influence many things, and who would wish to cause violence in front of a well-dressed, attractive woman? At his next words, Orianthi couldn't help but frown a little. "Father....I do love to explore cities. Would it not be in our best interests for me to explore and see all there is to see? Perhaps Auron could come with me if you wish me to be escorted by family, or if the Theirian princess wishes to come with me we could go under guard if you are so worried." she said, doing her best to persuade her loving father to at least let her explore<em>some</em>of the city. She almost thought to recommend Reynard, but the last thing she wanted to do now was have another argument with him. He thought her willingness to marry for peace foolish, and she thought him foolish for wanting to go straight to war.
