Not Afraid of Ghosts Anymore

It would take the once-Queen a long moment to process the form before her. Those markings... her breath caught in her throat and she could not move. Fear trilled through her veins at the possibility that he was an envoy from Old Ebony but... No. He addressed her kindly, and as the moment of terror faded away she realized that she knew this male. It was a foggy memory, distant and faded but there was no denying it. Nikolai, she thought hesitantly. Was that correct? ...Yes, it felt right. She could not address him, thought she opened her mouth no sound would protrude. She choked on her vocal chords, lowering her gaze and coughing a bit. "Lord Nikolai," Koros would say, sweeping in before the pause could grow awkward. "It has been quite some time! You look well, I-" His speech broke away as he noticed a third presence, and a fourth. Ah, so Svetlana had arrived. Koros smiled. The young girl had not been far from her mother's side since their reunion, and he could see already that it was doing both a great deal of good."My Lord, if I might introduce the Princess Svetlana, Raisa's third daughter."

He himself would offer the young fae a small bow. Though their relationship was largely informal, one must always stand on courtesy. And now the thistle of explaining Raisa's silence... He sighed, and as delicately as possible, began. "We have ah, run into some trouble you might say. A great deal has happened in the past year and I'm afraid our Grace has found herself recuperating. Have you come across her daughter, who rules the new Ebony in the east?" It was partially a diversion, but he was also thirsty for information, as he knew Raisa must be as well. He had been trying to pick up word of the other children during their travels but anything new had been hard to come by, and even then it was to be taken with a grain of doubt.
