Along the Shoreline

The empress did not keep Raisa waiting long. She appeared quickly over the rise, emerging from the surrounding landscape as if she had been a part of it. Raisa envied her the familiarity, but not for more than a moment. It was unexpectedly pleasing to see the woman again, and Raisa felt herself relax to a degree. She eyed the lighter woman for a moment, both reflecting in silence. She looked much the same as the last time they had crossed paths, but she had the rare gift of being as grand in person as in memory. Raisa supposed it was her royal blood, and found herself wondering if she too shared this trait. Virgil's eyes gave nothing on this matter away. Her voice, when it finally broke the silence, was smooth and even on the ebon queen's ears. "What brings you to these frigid lands?" Her question was one not easily answered, and while it brought anxiety back into the dark woman's chest, she masked it. "What else but good conversation and better company? It's lovely to see you again, Your Grace." Raisa spared the woman a small smile and a raised brow. She felt like a spring time colt, giddy to have found her equal once more. Perhaps she might even call the woman a friend?

It was hard to tell, and she had never been overly adept at reading social cues anyways. She supposed that if Virgil chased her away she would have overstepped her bounds, and perhaps she'd just leave it at that. "That and a rumor of course. It's said you call this fair land your own now." It was, indeed, strikingly beautiful. The northern regions had always filled Raisa with a keen sense of exotic wonder, and this obsidian beach was no different. Her gaze drifted over the powerful surf, darkened to coal now in the fading light. It seemed almost to glow, and Raisa let out a happy sigh. "I believe congratulations are in order." She dipped then into a deep bow, rising with a warm smile playing across her maw, tinted perhaps with a warm sort of approval.
