Far From Over

Val rolled her eyes and gave a rather unladylike snort. Oh, he thought he was just so scary! Well, she would show him she wasn't afraid of gnarled old coots like him. "Four! she said indignant. "You know it's treason to lie to your queen?" To jab at her lack of suitors though, now that was just cruel! She had met other males around her age, just none she'd wanted to get involved with! That Ullr boy had been nice enough, and she'd spent a good day exploring with some other boy from the east but that had just been for a good time. Courting was something Raisa had always said she'd handle, something about arranging it and Val wouldn't need to worry."Feel free to harass Kassander, though," she said with a crinkly-eyed grin. It was... nice, talking to this brute. She could almost forget that they had only just met. He reminded her of someone, though she couldn't quite place the feeling. It was there and gone just as quickly. As to the land, well, she wasn't quite sure what he was asking her. "The realm itself is called Alacritis," she would say matter of factly. "But we only hold sway over a portion of it. This lake, Firefly lake, and a set of old tumblestones called the Stone Steppe southwest of here. If you came from the interior you probably passed by it." She had half a mind to take him around Ebony's entire perimeter and show him the ins and outs. Gods knew she wandered off often enough, it would probably help if he knew the lay of the land well enough to hunt her down. |
