Gweneth sat silently in a large sitting room, with rich red and gold hues filling the area. Her sat calmly in a deep red velvety arm chair. Gweneth's deep blue eyes scanned over a large, leather bound book on her lap, thin pale fingers flipped the yellowed pages with care. The lady had deep red hair which was piled on top of her head, carefully pinned with golden sticks. About her body was a deep blue dress, reaching down to her feet. The dress was tightened around the waist, the collar was a square cut, the soft flesh of her chest glowing slightly in the candle-light. The sleeves reached down to her wrists, where they clinged fittingly to her wrists.<br/><br/>"Lady Gweneth, one of the front entrance guards has a man with him who wishes to be one of your guards," Stated a young woman with mousy brown hair. She wore a simple black dress with a white apron. The lady's deep blue eyes moved from her book to the young woman before her. Once her eyes rested upon the maid, the maid flinched. "Send him in," Gweneth said fluidly, her eyes returning to the book upon her lap.<br/><br/>"Do you think that wise, m'lady?" Asked a deep voice from behind her. A tall man stepped out from a darkened corner of the room. The man was wearing all black, a piece of cloth covering his face, a long cloak had it's hood pulled up over his head, only his bright brown eyes could be seen. "Don't question me," She snapped, her eyes sticking to the pages. "I'm only looking out for you, Lady Gweneth." He said calmly, taking a step back towards the book case-covered wall. He blended back into the shadows.<br/><br/>Lady Gweneth heard a knock at the door before her. Her eyes looked up to see the toothless guard enter the room, bringing with him another man. "This man wishes to speak with you, Lady Gweneth." The toothless man said quickly. Lady Gweneth nodded slowly, her eyes moving from the guard to the strange man. "You may leave," Gweneth said simply, her eyes glancing to the toothless one, who scampered out of the door.<br/><br/>Her hands closed the book on her lap, which revealed the title: "Imports". The book was filled with various items, the date they came in, the amount, everything. Piercing blue eyes watched the man before her for a moment before speaking. "What is your name?" Her voice was fluid and calm, as if she were to be meeting someone under other circumstances.
