				Lennady was walking among the trees that stood around the Home of the Elven cla, her clothes crawling through the grass and flowers. Ah .. she loved that smell. The trees were part of where she lived and there was no place more relaxing for an elven. Some might think it was too hidden, but Lennady liked it, and even took advantage from this. To her was just a defense, an opportunity to keep all of her clan protected. And that was what mattered most to her. <br><br>While walking, Lenna looked all around her. <em>Does not exist such thing has too much caution</em>, that's what she heard so much of her counselor, and also best friend, Akara. You never know when someone might show up trying to break into the house of her clan. And she agree with that. <br>She could feel her connection with the earth while she pass her hands through the trees and vegetation. With this Lenna could tell that until that moment everything was quiet. Seemed to have no one beyond these trees. <em>At least nobody who was not wanted around</em> Lenna thought and wished that this would last. Even if something inside her kept telling her that she might be wrong. Walking toward Home now, she was wondering where Akara was. Maybe she would need to talk with her about this feelings, since they are not used to be wrong.

				Even so many years after returning Akara still rejoiced at being home. The air smelled sweeter here, the bird song more pure. She felt at peace here in a way that the out side world had never done for her. She's just finished in the library a beautiful room filled with sun shine and warmth. She's spent so long ditched from her elven roots living among the humans as if she was one she'd lost some of her connection to the world around her. While some might argue that immersing herself in books was not the way to get back in touch with her racial magic and connection to nature Akara would argue otherwise. Books had always served her in the past so they would now as well.<br><br>As was her habit Akara finally tore herself from her studies when her back complained of soreness from not moving and her eyes blurred on a page making reading difficult. Blinking she stepped into the sunshine of the balcony high in the tree tops. The view as always took her breath away. This was home. She could feel contentment sink into her skin as she gazed at the strong hold of her elven kin. <em>Yes,</em> she though with a smile <em>this is home</em>.<br><br>A gentle breeze tugged at Akara's sliver blond locks setting them to streaming behind her, her dress a long flowy thing of opaque white molded itself to her body and fluttered out behind her as she caught sight of the queen and her friend drawing nearer. Bittersweet thoughts chased each other round inside her mind at she gazed at the girl a smile flitting across her full lips. She lifted a single hand to wave softly at her friend before she disappeared back inside taking quick steps towards the door. With light footed steps she raced down the winding stairs to meet with her friend the sudden urge to be outside, to feel the grass beneath her feet and the bark of the tree beneath her fingertips overwhelming.

				Lenna caught a glimpse of Ahara inside her house. <em>Sure .. the book! Where else can i find Akara but near them?</em> She thought, laughing a little. As she walked toward her friend's house, realized that Akara also had seen her. Lenna returned the smile to her friend, waving happy to find her at home. Theres was some things that Lenna wanted too talk with her. But Akara soon disappeared from her vision going inside the house. Lenna was almost at the door so she could hear footsteps hurrying down the stairs and Akara coming toward the door. When Akara opened the door and went out, Lenna could see the need that her friend had to feel the nature around her. "I know that books are important to you and I bet you would like me to dedicate more to literary matters, but there's nothing better than being outside.. Feel the grass and the sun do not agree?" Lenna said to Akara smiling, crouching and running a hand through the grass.<br><br>Getting up and putting yourself in a slightly more serious, look to Akara speaking "There are some issues I would like to talk to you, Akara. Two important issues"<br><br>So with a stance that many say have been inherited from her family, royal, Queen of the Clan, tried to stop the worry out of her face while she talked "First and most important. I was walking through the woods, examining the surroundings, and I finding it very calm... but a little too calm! Like... I could not help feeling a sense that something is wrong. And you know it's never good when I have this kind of feeling!" Taking a deep breath, feeling more relieved to be able to tell someone about it, Lenna relaxed his posture a bit.<br><br>Then opening a big smile to Akara said, almost leaving her position as queen, and leaving her younger side, because of her young age for a Elven, spying with her eyes shining. "Second thing, but not less important, I would like to discuss. When are we going to make your 'welcome back' festivity?" She finished putting one hand of each side of her waist, playing with her silver chain and grinning.

				Akara nodded her agreement as she wiggled her toes in the grass. It did feel wonderful to be out side and she knew she needed to spend more of her time out here reconnecting but there was always so much to do. It made finding leisure time next to impossible. Her queens dictation that they needed to talk had Akara lifting her sapphire gaze to Lenna.<br><br>At times like this when she was asked to listen to the young queen she was always reminded of how diffrent they were, Akara who looked to be only 18 a few younger then her queen actually had outlived her by near 700 years. She made a perfect adviser to the young queen, they got along wonderfully and Akara had the experience and wisdom to help Lenna navigate the twisted political world for the betterment of her people and protection of the isles.<br><br>Akara listened to the queen hearing her problem her sense of something coming, like the calm before a storm, a held breath surrounding them all. She might very well be right. The world was closing in on them and soon her duty of protecting their sacrad home would become much more proactive.<br><br>She smiled lightly as Lenna seemed to relax before her eyes. At her second 'problem' Akara had to repress the urge to roll her eyes heavenward as she shook her head lightly her smile clearly amused. "I'm not surprised your feelling a little off Lenna, things are changing and very quickly at that. It's only natural you sense that change and that it would upset you more then the rest of up given how connected to our home you are." She said calmly her lyrical voice dancing in the air between them. She put a comforting hand on her queens shoulder a show of her support and loyalty before letting it drop away.<br><br>"As for my welcome back I'd prefer if we didn't make a big things of it Lenna. If you wish to celebrate then I'd like it small otherwise I'm fine with just ignore the occasion all together." She said softly smiling an almost pleading look in her eyes.

				Lenna seemed to relax even more when she heard Akara saying that it was common to feel that way. She looked around, for it was the home of her clan, Elemmire. She was born here and therefore did not have much knowledge of the outside world. That was one of the reasons that she relied on the advice of Akara, since she had seen a world in which Lenna was not familiar. And had contact with people outside world. What was important. When Lenna felt Akara's hand on her shoulder, showing that she would support her, she gave a small nod of her head and a little kiss on Akara's cheek, thus acknowledging her loyalty. <br>"I realize this... The castle where humans live is not far away ..." Lenna said pointing towards the north with one hand to the side where there were high mountains, where one of them stood in the castle of humans. "And it's very usual to find weres" Now shaking her hands in all directions, because everyone knew that they are known for not settle in one place for too long. Once finished looking seriously at Akara "I hope that its not mean problems in the future."<br><br>Now Lenna give a smile when she saw the look of Akara "Okay ... at least a small celebration dinner .. .. with a little music .." and giving a smile a little bigger now, looked at her friend with a determined look.<br><br>As soon as she finished talking, something caught her attention to the trees near where they were. A noise. An unknown presence. Turning suddenly with watchful eyes, with then shining deep golden, started to inspect the spot trying to feel their presence again. But it was gone. <em>"It will be a human? Or Were?" </em> she thought.

				A messenger of the human clan of the woods finally arrived in their secluded lands. He thought he'd have another long while of finding someone to lead him to their ruler, but he had been given a description of her, and, in fact, nearly bumped into her as she and what appeared to be a friend of hers were standing outside. He nervously made a deep bow before handing Lennady a piece of paper "Your Majesty, Queen of Elf clan?' he asks, just to be sure. "A letter from the new king of the human clan, Varic Coinn, ma'am.<br><br>The letter was a personal message written by the king himself, describing a grand meeting of whatever major leaders and influential people would accept his invitation in order to enhance once cold relationship between clans and species. There would be talks, possibnly leading to new laws, peace treaties or negotiations. There would also be a ball and other events held in honor of the guests. This would take place in only a few days, and those with invitations could invite any reasonable amount of guests- in fact bringing others with political or social importance was specifically encouraged, since recent lack of communications had made it hard to know who else should attend.<br><br>"My lord has instructed me to ask you if you might go before I leave."

				Akara looked over Lenna's shoulder as she read the letter completely without shame in doing so. Her behavior often ranged from being coolly professional with the queen depending on her mood and what was going on. Now she was far too interested in the letter delivered by a human to bother acting like she wasn't burning with curiosity. "Look Lenna, a ball." She said with a bright smile her eyes telling the queen her opinion in a light informal way before the messanger.<br><br>Once more Akara was thinking her quick mind easily taking in everything. She glanced at the courier a man who if she'd been the sender would have been told to watch everything and report back. She gave him a look through her lashes and acted shy. One of the benefits of her age and appearance, no one guessed who she really was to the queen outside the elven community. A long lost blood line gave her enough of a noble standing to explain her friendship to the queen, enough that no one asked at the very least.<br><br>Her gaze fell on Lenna as she wondered if the young queen would accept. It was a great opportunity and she hoped the girl would if for nothing more then the friends she could gain while there. she waited quietly her eyes flitting to the courier every few minutes, she felt like an idiot acting like a shy nervous fool but better to disguise her real rank she didn't want the other kings or queens know too much about her yet.

				Lenna then saw what appeared to be the presence she had felt. A human. As he walked toward her, Lenna could not help but take a quick look toward Akara.<br>The stranger then, identifying himself as a messenger on behalf of the King clan of humans, handed her what looked like a letter.<br>"Yes I am Lennadya. Queen of the Elven Clan." Lenna looked a bit suspiciously at the strange visitor while he, clearly nervous, made ​​a bow.<br><br>Taking the letter in her hands, Lenna quickly read what was written. And could not help but spread a little surprise in her eyes, even if the man had not noticed, Lenna was sure Akara did. It was an invitation to a ball. A chance to talk to between the leaders.<br>Handing the letter to her counselor, even if she already knew that Akara already had read the letter, Lenna then directed her look to the human "Messenger, you can tell your lord, King Varict Coinn,that I, Lennadya, Queen of Elven Cla, Elemmire, intend to accept the invitation and will attend the event. Bringing with me, of course, some of my companions." She would not tell whom she planned to bring, of course. She then gave him a smile "And please tell him that I appreciate the invitation"<br><br>So with a slight movement with her hand, Lenna called one of her companions, an elven who was walking around and say to her "See if our guest do not want something to eat or drink before he left" She could had ask Akara, but she did not want to draw attention to her friend, which seemed to be acting shy. For what seemed like she wanted to keep her status a secret for now, and Lenna thought that this was a good idea.<br><br>The Elven, a woman of average height, even a little short that Lenna, with long black hair, dressed as what looked like a warrior "Of course my Queen." She said while doing a great reverence. Then turning to the messenger. "Then, sir, anything you want to drink or eat before you start your trip back?"

				The human was curious, hoping it wasn't rude to take a look around while he was here. His eyes darted through the strange architecture, the way the buildings seemed to be an extension of the woods themselves in some odd way. the grass seemed, quite literally greener- and the forest surrounding this clan was so amazingly thick that it was a wonder he'd been able to find them at all. It was noticing like the cliffs where the castle was- though he was already missing his home too.<br><br>He looked back at them, listening so intently to their words, wanting to especially remember the queen's response verbatim for the new King. He nodded and then bowed again. "It will be an honor to have you at our clan." he says respectfully.<br><br>"I suppose I could use a cup of water... and... I hope its not any bother if I have a small meal- just something simple I mean. I do have to leave as soon as possible" it was a long journey and he hadn't packed very much, he felt embarrassed at having to ask. They seemed so nice- and pretty too... They were certainly not eating him alive like the stories his grandfather use to tell about the Elf folk...Maybe the new king was right to be&nbsp; trying to start these talks.<br><br>"You are too hospitable, ma'am." he said with a large smile.

				Lenna still watched carefully the messenger. She was not very comfortable with the idea that he was walking alone by the clan. She could tell he was looking around curiously. That may not deliver the letter was just what he was told to do. She would not take any chances. In her mind, Lenna thought it was best to keep him in sight until he directed back to the clan of humans. So when she spoke to the other elven, who she had called, she said, smiling at the humam, because the less dangerous he thought that we were the better. <br><br>"You heard our guest. Near that tree has a small table with fruit and water, which will give him strength for the journey back." <br>Lenna then pointed to a tree just ahead. <br><br>When he was he way to the tree, guided by the other elven, Lenna directed a glance at Akara. She also seemed to observe the humam carefull. So whispering, making it impossible for the human to listen while the small meal is served "Akara What do you think? Of this new king... wanting to do a ball. Will he also call the pack leader?"<br><br>Lenna did not take her attention from the messenger, but always discreet so he does not feel threatened. That would not be good, especially when she had just accepted an invitation from his king.

				"If he is smart he will" She said flipping silver bond hair over her shoulder eyeing the young human, "Ther humans don't have many friends here, not with their race being responcible for the state of the world." Akara said this without rancor. She understood humans, sometime far more then her own race not that she'd ever admit it. "After he's done eating someone should escort him to our borders, use that time to learn from him the details of the court only a servant would know. We need all the imformation we can get before before a allow you to go." She said with a mirthful smile.<br><br>Her gaze drifted away from her queen abd back to the messanger, curiosity swirling in her mind. "Too bad he didn't arrive later so we could offer him to stay the evening." she said sounding a bit whiskful. Sitting just feet from her was a wealth of information on a king she knew little about and she wouldn't be able to weedle any of it from him. What a waste. "I'll send one of my girls to go with him unless you can think of someone better." She offered alreadying knowing exactly who she'd send if allowed.<br><br>

				"You are right. I dont trust him to go walking around..." Lenna say. She really could not agree more with her friend. It was as good chance to learn the most they could from him. "He must know sometings that will help me there." Still looking the messenger while he eat, Lenna added smiling "I think i already knew that you would want to do that... And you can send someone yes. The most information she get the best."<br><br>Looking at the sky now, Lenna could see that the sun its was about to set, the wind stared to grow a little more cold "It not night yet... but I think I could aks him to stay the night." And smiling now to her friend "Its dangerous when star to go dark in those florest for a human dont you agree?"

				Akara gave a cunning smile that if he'd seen would distroy the image of a vapid flirty girl, "Yes in fact I do. I'll go have a room arranged for him my lady." She said inclining her head before giving the man one last look before flitting back inside and up the stairs. Within moments her servant and people who waited only on her surrounded their mistress eager faces alight with curiosity. "Evain" Akara called out many of the other girls wilting the chosen girl smiling brightly.<br><br>"Go prepare a room, we are having a guest for the evening. Get to know him very well you'll be escorting him to our borders in the morning." She said with a light smile the girls smile was a cunning mirror of that of her mistress. She bowed her her and smiled "As you wish my lady." She said her honeyed voice swirling around them before she disappeared from the room Akara smiling a glint of something sinister in her sapphire eyes, "excelant." she whispered to no one.

				Soon as Akara is gone, to arrange the company for the new guest, Lenna star to go toward to where the human was. She needed him to stay.<br><br>When she came to the table, she look at the elven the was doing company to him and with a fast and a slight gesture with her hands, discreetly without the messenger saw it, Lenna asked her to withdraw a little. With a little reverence, the elve took a step back, leaving Lenna and the guest now with a little of pravicy.<br><br>Smiling, she adressed to the messenger "Are this food and drink to your taste? We collect them yourself and I assure tha you would not find fresh fruit anywhere else!" <br><br>Lenna used all her beauty now in her favor. She knew that for humans, Elvens could look most beautiful than a normal humam womam. The sun started to set, and with those last light how hit her, made her hair and eyes look more like gold than ever. She want to persuade him to stay. <br><br>Taking a pice of fruit and giving a small bite, Lenna turn to look at the humam "Messenger, the sun its already near to set. Do not you think that would be wise if you spend the night here? It is not safe for a human to walk in this forest in the dark." Another small bite before continue talking, with softy voice "We could arrange a room for you. And do not worry, will not be a problem doind so."<br><br>Lookin at the sky and then glaring at him again, still smiling, taking a small step close to him, finishing her fruit and taking a small sip from a cup that was in the table, never taking the eyes of him "In the morning you can make a safer trip. Do not you think?" <br><br>In that moment, Lenna saw Evain coming toward then. <em>"I really can trust you to make a good choice Akara"</em> She though smiling to herself.

				<span class="bbc_u"><em><strong>Kandae e Tharlaf</strong></em></span><br><br>Kandae and Tharlaf were observing Lennadya for some time now. Each one supported on a tree, on a branch at a height that they would not be seen. Since Lenna had returned from the round that makes every day in the forest surrounding Elemmire clearly concerned, the sisters were on the alert. Something had warned the young Queen.<br><br>Tharlaf without looking to her sister to know that she was also more attentive, said <strong>"Kandae, what do you think happened?"</strong><br>But not a sound came from the mouth of her sister back. The words came directly in Tharlaf' mind. <em>"I do not know, but something happened because the Queen speaked directly with Akara"</em><br><br>Looking at each other, both nodding, they already knew what they had to do. Soon began to draw closer to Lenna, but just as they would appear in plain sight, Tharlaf heard her sister shouting in your head <em>"Beware! Do not move forward!"</em> Worried about what might have startled Kandae, Tharlaf directed to her a worried look. Her sister, however, said nothing, not even in her mind, she just pointed to a corner of the forest.<br><br>Looking at the direction Kandae was targeted, Tharlaf saw the stranger that appears from the forest and started walking towards the Queen and her adviser. But before she could withdraw her sword from the sheath, she heard again Kandae' voice in your head <em>"Calm down... he does not seem a threat ... "</em><br><br>Letting out a sigh clearly showing that she did not feel comfortable doing that, Tharlaf let the sheath of her sword and set herself up to just observe the stranger. After some time, Tharlaf saw thar her sister did not seem wrong. <strong>"He is a messenger of the human ..." </strong> She said this time aloud, a little surprise with it. Her sister just nodded in agreement.<br><br>The two now watched every movement of the stranger. Both prepared to defend the Queen if necessary. But when Lennadya walked toward the man who been eating, and stated to try clearly to persuade him to stay overnight, was Kandae that broke the silence in the mind of her sister <em>"I do not know if this is a good idea"</em> and her feeling s not calmed when she saw Evain coming toward table as well. <em>"Akara must be sending Evain&nbsp; to try to get information from the messenger..."</em> continued to speak in the mind of Tharlaf.<br><br>Thrlarf in response just thought <em>"She's a great fighter. Knows what to do."</em><br><br>Exchanging another look, the sisters then went down to the ground with a gentle leap without making even a sound, and approached as best they could in the small group without the human see them. Lenna and Evain probably already have them noticed, but not the human and that was what mattered now to the sisters.

				<strong>Evain doing Akara's bidding</strong><br><br>Evain stepped from Akara's tree home her each foot fall soft and light, barely bending the grass beneath her feet. Even among the elves Evain was a sight to behold, her skin radiated just a touch a the suns own warmth, her hair was the color of blond wood with a polish and shine all it's own. Her eyes were as bright as a new as the Caribbean sea and radiating from her was a serene sense of calm, at least for now. She dressed differently as well. While many wore silks and things of that nature she did not. She wore a leather vest the left her hips bare and pressed her breasts forward and leather legging that were lashed to her body in an ancient style more fitting the vikings sailor then a modern woman, but then nothing about Evain looked modern save the blue tattoos that marked each eye and told anyone who looked at her she was a druid of renowned.<br><br>Her eyes settled on her latest quarry a human who was being attended by the queen. Her eyes flashed up to the twins in the tree and she flashed them just a hint of a smile. Those two irritated for no more reason then they were always around. It made bending the rules that much harder. It was why Evian worked for Akara and not the queen. Mistress Akara knew sometimes rules were made to be broken.<br><br>Brushing her hair over her shoulder Evain moved forward her walk one of perfect grace, in complete balance with the world around her. She smiled at the human hearing the tail end of the queens request. she bowed before the queen and cast the human a soft smile, "My queen Akara has sent me to attend to the messanger and guard him if that pleases you." She said formally though she already knew if Akara had assigned her the queen wouldn't refuse her. She then turned to the human a smile lighting her bright blues eyes, "It normal in our court to assign a guard to anyone visiting our court. My names Evain" She said inclining her head to the man "It would be my honor to be at your service until you leave our borders." She said softly<br><br>While she spoke she kept her hands behind her back her fingertips seeming to comb the air. They all needed the man to stay for at least a night and she could ensure it. The air felt tangible in her hand, and after a moment her hands went still. The air around the swirled for a moment the smell of rain hinting the air. "I do believed a storm is coming our way." She said lifting her gaze to the sky hiding the smile that tried to shine through promising rainfall before the next dawn. "Lady Akara has prepared you a room if you wish to delay your travels until after the storm." She said with a dazzling inviting smile.

				<br>/////&nbsp; Taking over it seems for the messanger for now.&nbsp; &nbsp;Do bare with me in catching up&nbsp; *smiles*<br><br><br>He smiled and seemed to bow to both the lovely elven ladies.&nbsp; His hand still holding the water as he listened to their words.&nbsp; He had thought to deliver the message and depart in haste.&nbsp; Though he was indeed feeling the draw of the hospitality.&nbsp; So many things he had heard and for the moment the allure of the place as well as the exotic race was pulling on him.&nbsp; &nbsp;Looking to Lenna first.<br><br>"Yes things are wonderful.&nbsp; I thank you for them.&nbsp; The fruits are amazing indeed.&nbsp; Your kind have been to nice to me.&nbsp; &nbsp;I do think it would be wise to rest and start in the morning if your sure it wouldn't be any trouble"<br><br>Then bowing lightly to Evain as she neared and spoke as well.&nbsp; Unable to not take a moment to observer her as he had Lenna first.&nbsp; Trying to keep the look to a friendly limit though both the ladies allure making such very hard to do so.<br><br>"It seems that I would be rude not to take the offer.&nbsp; &nbsp;I can not lie in saying that the honor of spending the eve in your wonderful court isn't very appealing."<br><br>Looking to both a moment as if unsure on which to make the reply to so making sure it was more to both.<br><br>"I do thank you Your majesty&nbsp; &nbsp; I suppose I am to be kept under close watch?&nbsp; &nbsp;I assure you I mean no harm here but I will accept the.... escort as it offered."<br><br>He then looked to Evain with a warm smile as she honored him with her name.<br><br>"It is a pleasure&nbsp; Lady Evain.&nbsp; &nbsp;I guess I place myself in your care once the Queen is done with me for the moment."<br><br>He then looked back to Lenna to see if there was more she wished to ask of him at the moment or if he was to be dismissed from her presence for now.

				Lenna looked at Evain and give at her a small greet, trying to hold a too big smile that would bring suspicion on the men in front of her. Then turn her attention at the mesenger she smiled while saying "Evain will keep you company for the night, please you just need to follow her and she will show yu the room. In the morning the water will probably be better and you will be able to make a safer trip."<br><br>Then turning at Evain. "Please tell Akara that I appreciate that she send you and I know that you will take good care of your visitant"<br><br>Now taking a step back so getting ready to leave she saying the last thing to the mesenger smiling "Your are in good hands" then started to walk toward the forest, the place were she knew she would be able to find the twins. Theres something she needed to talk with them.

				He bowed low to the Queen as she spoke and then started to move.<br><br>"Thank you MLady.&nbsp; I appreciate the hospitality.&nbsp; Thank you for it."<br><br>He then turned to Evain with a warm smile and waited for her to lead him to the room.<br><br>"Seems I am in your care."<br><br>He had noted the smile.. Still somewhat on guard it was not easy to not feel more at ease in such a lovely place and with such fair company.&nbsp; Still the looks the elven ladies exchanged did make one brow raise.

				"So it would seem" Evain said with a smile, "I'll take you to your room, you'll want to refresh yourself before dinner." She said easily placing her fingertips in the curve of his arm and leading him towards the tree she'd come from moving with grace and ease.<br><br>"Is Elemmire very different from your home?" She asked casually as she lead him up the spiraled steps and down the hall to his room across from hers and down the hall from Akara's own room. Akara liked keeping people close, all the better to keep an eye on them. <br><br>The door opened into a small but lavish room the gleamed with polished woods and was draped with the finest of cloths. It was done in soft blues and dark woods, the window opening to an open air balcony that looked over a now clouded sky hanging over the tree tops. Evain walked into the room and sat on the lounge with complete ease. "Tell me about your home, I've never been anywhere but here." She said lying blatantly though few would be able to tell see did it so effortlessly.

				He smiled and took her arm letting her lead the way.&nbsp; His eyes on hers as they walked.&nbsp; amazed at the grace that her kind held even in the smallest things.<br><br>"If i am to be joining someone then I would indeed with to refresh.&nbsp; &nbsp;Ohh yes very different.&nbsp; I like my home though this place is very beautiful and different in many ways.&nbsp; &nbsp;How your structures flow more with nature where in my home the stone rules.&nbsp; Trees and grass are placed secondary not worked around."<br><br>He moved into the room.. letting her arm stay in his as he looked about.&nbsp; Taking in the lovely room and the view it held.<br><br>"This is a room fitting someone well past my station I fear.&nbsp; &nbsp;Though that isn't a complaint."<br><br>He smiled to her as he moved his eyes back to hers.<br><br>"Never?&nbsp; &nbsp;Well.. you should come to my home with the Queen if you are able.&nbsp; I am sure many of your people would be welcomed in her party."

				Evain shrugged prettily, "It's not my place to ask to go." She said side stepping the suggestion. She knew she was going Akara would have it no other way at this point but she need not tell the human such for the time being. "The queen adheres very closely to the rules of her rank. Is your king as such?" She asked curiosity coloring her voice.<br><br>"I'm sorry I'm asking so many questions." She said letting a soft stain of color rise in her cheeks. "It's not very often we get visitors and I can't remember the last time a human crossed our borders, I find you very fascinating." She said glancing away embarrassed it would seem by her bold words before letting her gaze flit back up to meet his a soft smile curling her full lips.

				"Well one can still hope you will be taken in her group can one not?"<br><br>he watched her closely as she looked away. unable not to smile some as he moved into the room more.&nbsp; Taking in the lavish look of it.&nbsp; Leaving her moment before seekgin her gaze again.<br><br>"There is nothing wrong with that.. I will try to answer them as best I can. Ask all that you will.&nbsp; As for our King.. He does try to indeed.&nbsp; I think most nobles do do they not?&nbsp; And besides... I will admit the questions and the company are welcome.&nbsp; In such a ..exotic place I might find myself feel well out of sorts without it."<br><br>He then smiled and motioned into the room as if offering her to come in farther.<br><br>"Would you care to sit and ask what you will?"<br>

				Lenna saw the human follow Evain smiling and just that make her smile too. She knew that Evain would be able to obtain some good information about the new king. <br><br>Walking toward the forest when she felt that Kandae e Tharlaf were. It was not difficult. Lenna knew that those two were always close to her, and with a human walking around the city the twins would be even more alert. In truth, she was pretty surprise that Tharlaf did not show up, sword in hand, when the messenger approached early. She probably needed to thank Kandae for that.<br><br>When she reached the tree, Lenna called <strong>"Kandae. Tharlaf"</strong><br>Just with that and the twin were in front of her now. In one quick movement they were kneeling, head bowed in respect to the presence of their queen.<br><br>"My Queen." The two guards spoke at the same time. "You called?"<br><br><strong>"Yes I did. Theres someting that I need you two to do for me."</strong><br><br>"Just tell us your orders." Answer Kandae.<br>The two stand up. And just before Lenna star talking, Tharlaf spoke, voice low. "Please excuse me for getting into a issue that does not respect me but why did my queen leave Evain to take care of that human? I dont know if you can trust her." &nbsp;<br><br>Lenna just looked at Tharlaf before answer, a sighs leaving her lips <strong>"Evain is one of the best at obtain information from some one. And you know that. And about you not trusting her... theres a reason for that?" </strong> Lenna eyes focus at the one in front of here.<br><br>Tharlaf answer now with a voice more loud, glad that the Queen did not got angry because of that question. "I know. But I am better. And about prove i dod not have any, but I dont know. I just can not trust her. Some times I think that she cares more for Akara wishes than her own Queen!" &nbsp;This last words more loud that she wanted but she was frustrated that she was not the one that was choice to look after the human. She though she was far better than Evain in take information from someone. Tharlaf could feel the eyes of her sister, warning her to look out for her word and tone.<br><br>Lenna saw the look that Kandae was sending to her sister too. And smiling at Tharlaf she said <strong>"Yes you are good indeed. I know that. But I do now too that you are not famous for your patience. Am I wrong?"</strong> And with that, Lenna saw kandae fight to hold a small laugh. <strong>"And about Evain, I am aware about what you just said, but know that Its not what worries me. We have more urgent matters to deal with. Keep that in mind. Both of you."</strong><br><br>"Yes." That was all that Tharlaf anwser Lenna. The young Queen was right.<br><br>Then, Lenna spoke to each of them, first directing your words to Tharlaf.<br><br><strong>"Tharlaf, I need you to go and look for the Leader of the Were Clan. You are the best when we talk about track down someone.. or something. Ask about the knew King. What they know about the human and this party that will be host there." </strong> Lenna was talking now slowly, every word carefully choice when given this order.<strong> "But remember, you are going to them. Be carefull with your words and dont go without respect to their leader, you understand? We need information, not a fight." </strong> Looking at her serious she finished. <strong>"Do not star a fight. Control your temper."</strong><br><br>Tharlaf bow her head after listen at each word with attention "Yes my Queen. I will."<br><br>The Lenna talked to Kandae. <strong>"What i going to ask you to do is not a simple task. Its dangerous but I think you are the best and I know I can trust you." </strong> taking a break, a breath before speak again <strong>"I want you to go to the Human cla. I want you to try to obtain some information about this new king from those who live under his orders. But do not be see! I need you to listen and watch. Nothing more! Do not do anything that would make you get caught!" </strong> Lenna was very serious now. What she asked was really dangerous but Its was need. <strong>"Do not let them find out that you are there. Can you do it?"</strong><br><br>Kandae look at her Queen and could not hold a small smile appear in her lips. "Of course I can. And I will be glad to. But can I ask you just one thing mine Queen?" &nbsp;When Lenna nod Kandae spoke again "If you fell any dangerous in here please call us and we will be right back."<br><br>Lenna knew that Kandae was speaking for her to call then in they minds. She was the only one that knew about this link between then and that they could do it. It was their secret.<strong> "I Will. But you do not need to worry that much with me. Do not forget that I was trained by you and your sister"</strong> She answer smiling. And she had no doubt that Kandae could do it.<br><br>Looking at both of them now, her words to both <strong>"Be carefull you two. If any of you think that think are getting hard come back immediately. I can not have you both hurt now."</strong><br><br>After that, Lenna star to move to were Akara was. Theres was just one more think she need to talk with her counselor. Just when she begging to move, she stopped and turn to look at Kandae <strong>"Remember, just information and get back home." Then looking at Tharlaf "If the leader of the Were Clan ask why i did not come myself you can tell that was because of your visitor. Now you can both go."</strong><br>And with that, the twins enter the forest disappearing between the trees. <br><br>Lenna spoke just once more before begging to walk again, and even the twins already not in her vision anymore she knew that they still could hear her. <strong>"Tharlaf, you can keep your eyes in Evain if you want."</strong><br><br>After that she start her walk again.

				"I guess" Evain said lightly commenting no more on the subject, it would be next to pointless for her to do so at this point. Better to play the naive girl yearning for any glimpse of the outside world then someone pining for a chance at something. One was cute and well received the other had a higher failure rate.<br><br>She smiled brightly part of her as always feeling the fool as she walking in and sat down on the small lounge facing an open window. "Your right of course most of the nobles aspire to a certain form of behavior. I forget sometimes." She said with an amused self defecating smile. "I'm one of the personal servants to Lady Akara, the queens advisor. Who are you in your quart?' She asked with a tilt of her head and an inquisitive smile. She made she to school her features so she always looked interested and slightly in awe of him, her gaze lingering on him a beat longer then was strictly appropriate.

				He smiled watching her.. The way she carried herself he almost guessed she was more than she claimed. Though he let that rest as he let her sit.&nbsp; He then found a place close enough to be friendly though not seem to be trying to intrude on her space.<br><br>"Yes they do... and often it leads them to be have perhaps at times unlike they might wish.&nbsp; Though it is expected.. some things always are.&nbsp; &nbsp;Though the Queens advisor?&nbsp; Hmmm so what is it you are ....expected to do then in your role?&nbsp; &nbsp;Me?&nbsp; &nbsp;I am a soldier... messanger whatever might be needed of me."<br><br>He laughs low and leans back a little her means putting him at ease.<br><br>"Though I fear I am not as important a cog as it seems you might be.&nbsp; Being the personal assistant to someone so high in the ranks here."<br><br>He noted her lingering look though seemed not to mind it. Perhaps taking it s permission to let his do similar.
