When the hood fell back Darius would find a pair of gray, almost silver eyes gazing up at him.  Most people who found themselves with a blade at their throat would panic and plead but her expression did not change. Her lips remained curved upwards in an almost coy smirk as though his threat was amusing.  “ I merely used the fog to hide myself from sight to avoid any…unnecessary delays. Perhaps it was not the wisest course of action but your kingdom is not known for its hospitality. Can you blame me for wanting to protect myself?”<br/><br/>Rather than stand and risk and arrow in her back she remained kneeling. “If was just a charm of hiding, nothing more. Here, you may have it if you like.” Cautiously she reached around her neck and withdrew a chain with a small glimmering crystal. It looked rather unremarkable a dull foggy blue color cut roughly and held in place by a small clasp of iron. With a swift yank she broke the chain and offered it to him on an opened outstretched palm. “Take into account, if you will, how I could have easily used such a charm to harm you and yours rather than merely passing by them and entering your castle.”<br/><br/>It was a fair point, had Guinevere desired it she could’ve killed his guards and demanded the king submit to her demands.  Instead, aside from that charm, she’d come in unarmed and respectfully knelt before him knowing full well the very guards she passed by would be on her the moment they became alerted to the presence of someone unwelcome in the throne room. “Check me if you must, I have no weapons on me, and my magic is limited by the length of time it takes to cast. Unless I’m chanting in Latin, you have nothing to fear from me.”<br/><br/>She dropped her eyes respectfully after she finished speaking her long auburn hair practically pool on the floor before her. Guinevere was no stranger on how to act in court to give proper respect, or at the very least the appearance of proper respect.  She did not know Darius, did not know if he would take her assistance or kill her and toss her body out into the cold.  She could only hope that he was willing to do anything to help his people survive and take back what was lost.
