Valerie | 24 | Huntress | Mentions: Solfrid, Gwyn, Aziel, Matt, & Caite (ind)

Valerie had grown quickly wary of the two fae before her. While both were rather docile hosting what seemed to be questionable banter there was something about the male that stood out starkly in contrast to the white haired lass. Having been called a secondary human did not fare well for Val. Furrowing her brows in distaste at the statement and soon opening her mouth to retort in reply only to quickly be silenced by the gesture to now leave the gardens and seemingly accept the invitation to partake in a meal.

Things seemed to move rather fast here even in conversation because before she knew it, all hugging aside, she was led hand in hand by Caite into the expansive dining room. A feast she had never witnessed before in her entire life splayed out before her and even the lesser fae were still continuing to bring out platters. Not much of the entrees seemed familiar to her except for what may have appeared to be something similar to beef. The rumbling of her stomach could no longer be contained as she gazed at the variety of plates before her.

For a moment she would shift her gaze back to Caite’s arm studying the whorls carefully. Nothing seemed right about it nor did it seem entirely wrong to be on her skin other than it’s dark contrast against her skin that is. She had noticed the bat-winged male’s demeanor seem to shift after Matt had openly revealed the marking to everyone earlier. Surely, that cannot be a great thing on Caite’s end since it is most definitely something belonging from this realm. Perhaps the male had more knowledge to offer but that will have to wait for a more one on one conversation and one that didn’t include or involve Matt or Caite since the information may upset both in dramatically different ways.

Her gaze would once again now shift to the self-introduced High Lady of the Day Court. She could read into the dislike she had upon the male titled Aziel and did not choose to further inspect upon her harsh and bitter criticisms. She would attempt to coat her words with that of a warm welcome and additional open invitation to partake in the food that seemed to never stop as servants still continued piling in more and more plates. Having watched Aziel reach for a red in color bottle she would too reach for something similar and partake in the similar plate choice as him with the exception of also adding to her plate Grilled Crown Cow and Meakra Salad. She would remain silent unless spoken to, using her silence to study the interactions of their new counterparts.

Sabela | 554 | Illyrian | Spymaster (Night Court) | Mentions: Maeve & Aether (Dir)

“It appears the sentinels allowed a snake to enter our humble abode.” She would grumble lowly referencing Maeve having joined the pair. Shifting her haut gaze from the female to return back to calmly glance toward Aziel as she’d followed his words closely.

Despite her position as spymaster it didn’t seem as though she had the answer to his question either. Generally, given her position she would be in the know of just about anything and everything however, there would not be an advantage for withholding the proposal in the Day Court other than for whatever gain Solfrid did not feel like sharing with her kingdom. Perhaps holding off on the announcement to her people spared her the suffering Aether was currently facing with the people of his court.

Frowning at the invitation for Maeve to join them in visiting the Day Court, it would serve as a questionable move on Aether’s part. Perhaps having two of the most demanding Night Court members visit and stay in the Day Court would serve as beneficial in the end. Perhaps revealing to Solfrid the deep rooted mistrust and dislike of the Day Court from the Night Court perspective. Realizing she likely held a displeased face for longer than she should have she would shift her visage to one of neutrality.

“I am surprised Aziel has lasted as long as he has. I figured he’d have already attempted to shadow or fly his way back by now.” She’d tease grinning at Aether. “I’ll go gather my things.” She would soon add bowing toward him and dismissing herself.
