The shifter kept a firm but gentle hand on the woman's shoulder as she wept, doing her best to be a comforting presence, rather than one that would cause her even more stress than she was undoubtedly already under.  It seemed to work, since her tears dried up after a little while.  She launched into an explanation, seemingly in a much better mood for all the tears she had been able to shed, and with a little help, seemed to wind up in a much better mood, in spite of the undoubtedly-painful memories she was having to bring up.  So then, she was a princess, forced from her kingdom by political plots, rumors and conspiracy, and Garland had once been a knight, and one clearly quite close to her...  And apparently also once a good man, or if not good, then at least a great one.<br/><br/>From what she knew of the man, it seemed clear to her that his disappearance had been arranged, possibly with the help of Bikke or this Astos character, and of course his fall probably had something to do with associating with such characters, as well.  She could only imagine how much of a shock it was for the Lady Sara to suddenly see him again, after all these years...  Though, she was rather surprised at the woman's comment about her.<br/><br/>"Ehm..."  She really had no idea how to react.  The woman had given her similar compliments before, even at the Circus earlier that day when, she now knew, the young woman must have felt like everything was falling apart inside her.  But why?  Was she really that special?  She was a traveller and a powerful warrior, to be sure, but certainly not the most powerful, or the most unique to wander the planes.  She also certainly wasn't the only person of a tigerish persuasion in her physical features, so why...?  "Ah...  Thank you.  I'm not entirely sure what about me would inspire such feelings, but I'm happy that you feel that way, fair lady."<br/><br/>She couldn't help but glance briefly around the room, hoping that, perhaps, she would catch some clue to this mystery in the facial expressions of Haledan, Sarda, or possibly Aria...
