Suddenly the little pocket of shadow near the corner of the room began to shift, and from it stepped a woman adorned all in black, armored from head to waist and from there flowing into a billowing dress, greyish white hair swaying behind her in a long ponytail. She held a thinker's stance, one arm crossed with the other raised up towards her chin, as if she were in the middle of some deep thought as she slowly stepped towards the royal siblings, "It seems to have become something of a fad lately, for royals to forsake their duties" she mused, not directing the comment straight at Allaran, but the implication was clear regardless, "It is refreshing to see a future king embracing their station" she cooed, coming to stand face to...er...mask with the crown prince. While her stance remained stoic and statuesque Auren wouldn't be able to shake the feeling that she was staring him up and down, judging and evaluating him.<br/><br/>"Ah but where are my manners?" she muttered softly, suddenly taking a step back and performing a sweeping bow, "I am Serana vi Marion, it is a pleasure to finally meet you face to face" she cooed, straightening herself back up and again adopting the more inquisitive pose, "I hope you can forgive the intrusion lord bishop, but when I heard my future husband had finally returned to Arrakar my desire to see him simply grew too great" she explained, though did nothing to explain<em>how </em>she had gotten inside without anyone's notice, especially since Allaran had been waiting right at the cathedral doors, "After all to only meet your spouse for the first time at your wedding ceremony is far too impersonal, wouldn't you agree m'lord?" she cooed, offering out an armored hand to the dashing young prince.
