Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Carpathius

Had they not caught and disposed of the piece of trash that had assaulted Dalila, Chimera wouldn't have left the island. However, the bastard was vanquished and so the King of Fenmyre and his lovely Queen Aliana made the journey to The Hallows to offer well wishes to the happy couple and to offer the gifts that he had made especially for them.

Chimera hadn't known what the future Queen of The Hallows looked like and, in order to have his gift made properly, he needed to know. So he'd had her tailed from the sky, borrowing a bird from a member of the back to do so. After a thorough description of both appearance and pelt color, Chimera was able to make the correct choices. He hoped that they were pleased with his attention to detail.

Before Artorias and his queen made their way into the hall, Chimera had placed the polished wooden case on the table between their seats. Now that they were here, the two-toned brute moved forward with his own queen. The dire giant gave a nod to the pair, a bare smile lifting the corners of his maw. "Congratulations," the man rumbled in deep, honeyed tones. "Artorias, you remember Aliana." They'd met during the forming of their alliance. "And you must be Briar," Again Chimera gave a nod, this time in the woman's direction.

One black-toed paw rose, motioning towards the case on the table. "Your gift," he informed them. Upon opening the case and peeling back the silken sable wrapping, they would find two crowns, both of gold. The thicker, more manly crown was set with a blazing fire opal in the center. The smaller, more dainty crown was comprised of golden chains that would loop between the fae's antlers and was beset with blue opals. "I imagined you might want something that matched your coloring," the man explained, though he had never seen her face to face.

After delivering his lavish gift, Chimera raised a paw and thumped Artorias good naturedly on the shoulder. "Congratulations again. A stunning woman you've landed." A devilish grin split the brutes maw, flashing those wickedly sharp teeth for a moment. With another nod to Briar, Chimera collected Aliana, scooping her towards him with a paw unabashedly on her rump, then moved off to browse the feast.
