<strong>Rose Ironshield</strong><br/><br/>"My thanks... " Rose says as she takes the lotus blossom. "I hope to make another flower, one of mithril sometime in the next year or so. It's my way of keeping focus and grounded." She smiled. "Visit me in a year or more, and perhaps I'll have a mithril rose for you then. As for our.. misunderstanding, when is the last time you  talked with the elders and leaders of the settlement about your tribute? I fear that the ones that knew of it are.. shorter lived than I and compared to your life span mine is but a flicker of a candle."  She bowed deeply to the elder fae  and stepped back.<br/><br/>"Please, he's a bit full of himself, but he is kin." She said as she moved to withdraw, the lotus in her gloved hand as she smiled. "If I may.. I would like to send this gift to my daughter and wife. They like stories and things of my journey."
