She could think of people in particular that she wanted to attend, but nobody she could think to mention that Hadrhune wouldn't already know to invite. She'd had small gatherings and large gatherings aplenty before in her life, so it was sometimes difficult to predict what she had in mind, but for now...well, they'd just been through a large battle! A pillage, a raid, as it were! What people often needed after such a harrowing experience was a little merriment to take the edge off of things, to get their minds off of it and to maybe make some new friends in the aftermath. After some consideration, she shook her head.<strong>"Nah, I don't see any reason to specify, Dear One. Invite everybody present! We have cause for celebration and commiseration both, so everybody who fought these 'Trolgres' should be allowed to reap the benefits of placing their lives - and purities, perhaps - on the line for the greater good."</strong>She pecked his cheek and slipped off of his shoulders - her hand trailing down his body to give his deliciously firm ass a tight squeeze - before gliding away as he made his announcement.<br/><br/>As for the others, well, she had some more invitations to hand out personally. Darian would almost certainly come - he was always one to enjoy revelries, especially if they were thrown by her - but Arder was the tougher nut to crack. She gave Arder a small smirk as she slipped past, dragging her eye up and down his form. Her hand dragged along his shoulder as she passed by in the tight confines, letting her shapely body drag past him almost casually, as if she didn't even notice what she was doing.<strong>"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but you're getting an invite anyway,"</strong>she said warmly with a smile.<strong>"You can't work work work <em>all</em> the time! You need to relax every now and then, y'know, or you burn yourself out...and <em>then</em> who does all that work that was so important? You just saved a lot of people, sweetheart. Let yourself enjoy the reward of an afternoon off."</strong>She lifted an eyebrow.<strong>"Besides, you do know that it's rude to refuse a Princesses' invitation, don't you?"</strong>She pressed past him, blowing him a kiss as she turned on her heel and sauntered over to where the priestess was standing with her elven...friend? Lover? Either way.<br/><br/>It was good to see that she was unharmed, rape notwithstanding, though it did send a small pang of guilt through Alaya that she'd arrived too late to stop it happening in its entirety. She glided up and stopped a respectful distance away, offering a head-bow that was a little more than a nod, but not quite a bow. She was a Princess, after all! She couldn't go prostrating herself before every clergymember of Hardrhune would likely have an annuerysm.<strong>"Good Sister,"</strong>she chimed lightly with a smile,<strong>"I'm glad to see you doing well! You have my deepest apologies that I didn't arrive on the scene sooner."</strong>A note of genuine regret entered her voice.<strong>"Are you ok? I lost track of you during the battle. I hope nothing else untoward befell you!"</strong>She glanced at her elven friend, giving both of them an appreciative look over and a slightly - but respectfully restrained - flirtatious smile.<strong>"By way of apology, allow me to extend an invitation! I'm having a celebratory party at my manor for those who engaged the brutes in battle. I would be honoured if you would grace us with your presence!"</strong>And certain other things, all going well, but that was a side-objective. The important thing was having fun with friends! And if copious amounts of wine and good company would make up for her not freeing the Priestess from her predicament sooner, then excellent! And if that repayment also included some more intimate getting to know each other? Well...who was she to argue, eh?
