<strong>Comgal, Peranos elf Enorcer, in his office, with Cirven</strong>Edited names. woopsie.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Cirven was right, Nilofer had fled from being married. "And there's a foolish reason for that. Some of the young ones foolishly believe in love over honor and propriety." He waved his hand dismissively, his features marred with disdain. "Her father has been very disappointed in her for many years now because of her stubbornness.  She sees no one's needs or wants more important than her own, as displayed perfectly with being so near to a Centos village in search of a root. You would think that an elf with good standing would just do what they're supposed to. However Nilofer has always been wild and with little regard for her own life or that of others."  He didn't truly like the tone of the Trithos elf. "And you yourself are a bit old to be unwed. You too seem to have little concern with the honor of your family in that regard. She was chosen to be the link to your families for the same reason. What fault does she have in the circumstances with which you do not?"<br/><br/>Comgal nodded. "It is unwise to protest that which you cannot change. Nilofer has yet to protest it officially, which I'm waiting to see, to be honest. She's protested it to her father plenty and he put his foot down and banished her from his home, rightly so, due to her petulance. I do feel for you, Cirven. But I must admit that your plight does amuse me on some level. I don't envy you in some positions, however… some… I would love to be a fly on the wall to see."  He chuckled and reached for his tea.<br/><br/>"Then count me not in my right mind, Cirven, for I would gladly turn down a night with you."  He chuckled loudly and took a sip of his tea.<br/><br/>"I'm sure that she's been remanded to her cottage, on the west side of the village proper. Small place, just for her. Nearest to the bakery, I believe? She isn't allowed to leave the village for a period of time. The Haas woman has been housed with her. Though Nilofer said that she was no danger, I'm not entirely convinced, but do fear for her safety in the light of today's earlier events. I asked that she remain for forty-eight hours just to be sure that she won't be attacked upon trying to leave. Elf or not, no woman will be mistreated on my watch or in my protection if I have a say in it."  His lips twitched. "However, whatever you choose to do to your future wife I might turn a blind eye to if you put her over your knee." He chuckled again, a bit impishly. "You might wish to begin a nightly regimen of that to teach her the place in which she belongs. Do you need quarters nearby?" His expression held mirth. He knew that the betrothal was almost at its year, that time ticked away for the delay of their marriage. He both slightly envied and greatly sympathized with Cirven's place in life.<br/>
