Summer Days, Driftin' Away

The arrival of another was a dull pinprick on her radar. She noticed his presence through a haze, the recognition taking a moment to sink in. It was just so peaceful, so tranquil... She'd slipped into some sort of meditative state. Regardless, she did not view his arrival with any sort of ill will. Languidly she rose to her paws, leveling the older male with a calm, clear gaze. His greeting was somewhat uncertain, and she couldn't help but wonder what plagued the dark healer. "Maximous. A pleasure, as always. What can I do for you?" Ah yes, the mannerisms she knew so well. Courtesy was a lady's armor after all. She could banter with the best of them, though these dry niceties did wear on her from time to time. He had thought so little of him when all this began, but Val believed she had settled in well, all things considered. At the very least she had started no wars, unleashed no plague or grand misfortune. For those who favored peace her reign had been a success... even if she yearned for something more fulfilling. It was not an emotion she would allow to reach the surface, however. She buried it deep within her core, away from the light and the oxygen in the hopes that it would die out. The young Queen forced herself to focus on the man before her, and on maintaining a look polite interest. |
