Anarinuell: Palace Grounds

Zeysani is walking in from the north, her cloak pulled in around her as she walks.

Dining Room

Solgarik stands as you are led in by a servant, and bows, "My lady." {Firan}

Zeysani smiles at you and says, "Prince Solgarik.." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik walks over to a spot at the table, "They've prepared an excellent meal tonight, from all reports." He smiles, and pulls out a chair for you.

Zeysani walks to the table and settles down in the chair you extend for her, "I wouldn't expect any less.." she smiles at you as she settles down, unclasping her cloak. {Firan}

Solgarik returns the smile, gently taking the cloak from your shoulders, with practiced ease, and handing it to a servant, as he moves to the chair opposite, "How was your day, my lady?" {Firan}

Zeysani inclines her head slightly, "The usual, fortunately." {Firan}

Solgarik asks politely, "And your esteemed mother? How is she doing, any improvement?" {Firan}

Zeysani frowns lightly and shakes her head.

Solgarik nods somberly, and says gently, "I hope, then, and pray, for her speedy recovery." {Firan}

Zeysani sighs softly, still frowning lightly as she says, "I pray for such also.. thankfully though, there is at least no change for the worse.." {Firan}

Solgarik nods quietly, his eyes resting on you. "That is good then." He smiles a bit, "Let us concentrate on happier events for the moment, shall we? Are you thirsty?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani smiles a bit and nods her head, "A small bit, yes." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik smiles broadly, "What then, would soothe your thirst?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani laughs a bit, "What do you have on hand? So long as it tastes well, I'm not overly particular."

Solgarik chuckles, "We have various teas, and various wines..." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani smiles, "Red or raspberry wine, please." {Firan}

A young servant brings Solgarik his red wine.

Solgarik offers you the glass of wine, with a smile.

Zeysani takes the wine and says, "Thank you, Solgarik." {Firan}

Solgarik smiles, and holds up his glass, "To the safety of our families, to the safety of the Republic...and to our future." He smiles warmly, and raises his glass towards you. {Firan}

Zeysani lifts up the glass and says, "To our families, the Republic, and the future.." {Firan}

Solgarik clinks his glass against yours, smiles, and sips from the glass.

Zeysani smiles and sips from her glass as well.

Solgarik continues to smile as he watches you, "I'm told that you are kept busy with maintaining your families properties?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani nods her head faintly, "Trying to, at least. It isn't very easy.. and I have to watch over mother too." {Firan}

Solgarik nods quietly, "I can imagine...but you'll succeed." He smiles, "You're a strong and brave woman, Lady Zeysani." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "There you go with the flattery again." she shrugs lightly, rolling her wine glass so the wine swirls in the glass, "I do what I have to do for my clan." {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, "As I said earlier, I only flatter where it's suitable." He winks, playfully, as a servant approaches, "Are your highness and my lady ready for their meals?" {Firan}

Zeysani glances at the servant and nods her head.

Solgarik smiles, "I don't know about you, but I'm famished." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "As am I." {Firan}

Solgarik chances a grin, "Let us order, then." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles and says, "That sounds good to me.." she glances at the server and asks, "Do you have any fish zaridine?" {Firan}

Solgarik looks at his menu.

Solgarik mms, "I think fowl a la fronto sounds good, for me." A handsome attendant brings Solgarik his fowl a la fronto. A beautiful attendant brings Zeysani her fish zaridine.

Solgarik smiles as his food is served, then chances to add, "I use flattery so often because I would not wish to be thought forward." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani glances at you inquisitively, "I'm not quite sure I follow you, Prince Solgarik.." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, his eyes going to his food, to yours, then to you. "It's quite simple, really. We tend to use small talk to detract from what we truly feel, and what we truly wish to say, for fear of being thought overly aggressive." {Firan}

Zeysani ahs softly, "So you flatter.." she looks at her fish zaridine, "It's a good practice to say the least.. else I can only imagine what people would actually call one another.." {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles softly, "Right now, I know what part of me would wish to say, but the rest of me refuses to, for decorum's sake." {Firan}

Zeysani glances up at you a bit sharply, "Ah, let us keep with decorum them." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik smiles, "Exactly." {Firan}

Zeysani inquires, "Considering Vahlgellan is your brother, I think you'd know this better then the rumor mongers.. what -is- this rumor going around about him and Ibania?" {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, "I don't know, to be honest. He hasn't mentioned much more than asking me if I knew her name." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani nods her head and says, "It seems that this may go through.. Banik has told me that the Queen and Lord Bannos wished for the marriage.." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik mmms faintly, although it can easily be seen that his mind is working things over, "Quite interesting, that is..." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani raises her eyebrows a bit, "I would say so.." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik mms, "If that is what Vahl wishes, then I shall do nothing but wish him the best." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani says, "Myself as well.. however, what if it isn't his wish?" {Firan}

Solgarik smiles, "We shall see then, won't we?" {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik eats quietly as he chats with you.

Zeysani inclines her head, "That we will.." also lightly picking at her food as she eats. {Firan}

Solgarik asks, "And what do you wish, Zeysani?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani glances up at you and says, "For Vahlgellan? Obviously for him to be happy in life." {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, "No, I meant for yourself." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles softly, "At the moment, I am hoping this fish zaridine is as good as it looks.. for the future, I try not to look past mother getting better." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik smiles, "In that case, I shall not ask again until that is accomplished." {Firan}

Zeysani smiles at you and inquires, "What of you?" {Firan}

Solgarik looks at you for a long moment, then states, "I wish for peace in the Empire, and the destruction of our enemies. I wish for happiness in my own life, and the lives of my friends and family. And I wish to find a beautiful woman one day soon, and make her my wife." {Firan}

Zeysani ohs softly, looking at her wine.

Solgarik smiles, sipping at his own wine, not looking away for a long moment. "" {Firan}

Zeysani sips her wine and looks at you before she grins, "I wish you luck in your endeavor.." {Firan}

Solgarik returns the grin, and winks, "I wish myself luck also. I have some stiff competition."

Zeysani chuckles, "Oh? With the way you toss out compliments, I can't imagine what some other person can offer by way of competition." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik smiles, "Ah, but anyone can toss out compliments. It is the sincerity that matters." He then smiles warmly, "Lady Zeysani...please close your eyes?" {Firan}

Zeysani raises her eyebrows and hesitantly says, "Alright." before she closes her eyes, "You will tell me when I can open them again, won't you?"

Solgarik smiles, as he stands, "Of course, I will." He walks behind you, and, taking his time, slowly places something around your throat.

Solgarik gave you gold necklace ornamented with a ruby.

Solgarik murmurs quietly as he hooks the necklace around your neck, "For you, m'lady."

    A finely crafted necklace with a glimmering red ruby mounted in the
    very center. Behind the ruby, on the gold, is carved a small 's'.

Zeysani lifts one hand to her throat, hand going over the gem set into the necklace, "Oh! May I open my eyes now?"

Solgarik chuckles, "Of course you can."

Zeysani opens her eyes and glances down at her neck, moving her hand. She then gasps and says, "Solgarik! You are determined to give me an entirely new set of jewelry, aren't you?" as she glances up at you with a bright smile, standing up and embracing you, "It's beautiful, thank you." {Firan}

Solgarik certainly isn't expecting the embrace, but accepts it gladly, hugging you once, "I'm determined to do many things, Zeysani..." He smiles, moreso at your own smile than anything else. He's obviously happy that you like it. {Firan}

Zeysani smiles again and says, "Well, thank you again.. now, if you're taking orders," she lifts one hand and lightly taps her earrings, "I can use a new set," she winks at you, her tone teasing.

Solgarik grins wickedly, and says, "Only if I can place them there myself. With that condition, I will buy nearly anything." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "That's a tempting offer, Solgarik.." {Firan}

Solgarik finds himself entranced by your gaze, "There are many offers I could make, Zeysani." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani smiles faintly and moves to reseat herself, "I'm sure of that, Prince Solgarik." {Firan}

Solgarik releases you, then does the same, with a smile, "Let me know if you wish to hear any of them." {Firan}

Zeysani nods her head and says, a bit quietly, "I will do that, thank you." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik watches you for a moment, then nods, with a very faint smile.

Zeysani pauses a moment and then looks up at you with a small smile, "Did you and Prince Sadin resolve your differences from this morning?" {Firan}

Solgarik twitches faintly, "Sadin and I have differences which stem back a long time...we speak to each other rarely..." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani raises an eyebrow, "A sad state between an uncle and his nephew..there's no way to resolve this?" {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik makes a faint face, "I can think of ways.." He then grins, "I don't hate him, Zeysani...don't get me wrong. We just...clash." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani nods her head and says, "If you can think of ways, can't you instigate one of those ways to repair the damage from your .. clashes?" {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, "One of the subjects of the clashes is something that can only be resolved in one way, and I'm willing to wait on that one." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani ahs a bit and says, "What about other clashes?" {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik shrugs, "They all stem from various things. We'll worry about them when the time comes." {Firan}

Zeysani nods her head, "We will?" with a small smile. {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, 'I meant myself and Sadin...although you and I could also. "" {Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head and laughs, "No thank you, I stay away from family fights." {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, "There is little within my family that can rightly be called a 'fight'." {Firan}

Zeysani grins, "What are they called then?" {Firan}

Solgarik grins wickedly, "Misunderstandings." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "Ah.. I stay away from those as well." {Firan}

Solgarik smiles.

Zeysani smiles at you in return and says, "Do you have misunderstandings often?" {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, "It all depends. The last major one I had with Sadin was at the party, remember?" {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani nods and says, "I still am curious as to what that was all about." {Firan}

Solgarik chuckles, and leans back, "Mainly Sadin being an egotistical fool." {Firan}

Zeysani ahs and says, "What was the deal with the clothing?' {Firan}

Solgarik mmms, "SAdin was going to give his unit special uniforms, with the insignia of the Griffon." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani raises her eyebrows, "Why the Griffon?" {Firan}

Solgarik says, "For Clan Griffin. The problem being that the military is for -all- of the clans, not just one. He should have known better. " {Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head and says, "I realize for the Griffon clan.. but why them? Why not Gold Dragon.. or Chimera?" {Firan}

Solgarik shakes his head, "I'm not thinking correctly..." He grins, "I'm drunk on your appearance." He winks, "He had Chimera, because that is the Clan the Ranivor, and our entire family, was originally from. However, we support the entire Empire now, not just one clan." {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles and says, "If you're drunk, we have to limit your intake.." she then hrms softly and says, "yes, I have to agree then, it was somewhat stupid of him to then want uniforms like that." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik nods and winks, "Oh no, this is a good drunk." He chuckles, "It was, and it just was fitting that I found out about it ahead of time, in time for the party." {Firan}

Solgarik then winces, "I -still- haven't had a talk with Mother about it." {Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head and says, "And it was silly of -you- to bring it up at a party like that!" {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik grins, and winks, 'I thought you forgave me for it? "" {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "I did, but it was still silly of you." {Firan}

Solgarik winks, "It got your attention, though, didn't it?" {Firan}

Zeysani nods her head and says, "And the attention of just about everyone -else- in the room!" {Firan}

Solgarik takes an obvious chance, and says quietly, "Ah, but it was -your- attention that I sought." {Firan}

Zeysani raises her eyebrows and says, "Indeed, although starting a .. misunderstanding at such a public place with the guests there as you did -not- raise you in my regards overly much." {Firan}

Solgarik stays lighthearted, "Thus the bracelet...and now the necklace." He smiles. {Firan}

Zeysani ahs and says, "Bribes? I'm shocked." she smiles faintly though. {Firan}

Solgarik shakes his head depreciatingly, "Nay, just my feeble attempt at making a beautiful lady more so." {Firan}

Zeysani rolls her eyes lightly and says, "There you start with the flattery again.." {Firan}

Solgarik smiles, 'Remember why I use it. "" {Firan}

Zeysani mms softly and nods her head, "I should, at that.." as she finishes off her glass of wine lightly, gently setting the glass down. {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik has since finished his meal, and asks, "Is there anything else I may do for you this evening?" {Firan}

Zeysani shakes her head and says, "No.. thank you for dinner and the conversation.. not to mention your gift.." {Firan}

Zeysani lifts one hand and lightly rests her fingers over the necklace.

Solgarik smiles warmly, "You are quite welcome. I am honored by your presence, and enjoyed your company immensily." {Firan}

Zeysani smiles and says, "I should return home," {Firan}

Solgarik smiles, "Can you make it , or would you prefer an escort?" {Firan}

Zeysani chuckles, "Who am I to turn down an escort?" {Firan}

Solgarik smiles, "A moment to allow me to fetch my sword?"

Zeysani nods as she stands up, "Of course.. " {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik bows, and stands, heading out towards his quarters.

Solgarik walks into the banquet hall. Solgarik walks in from the banquet hall.

Solgarik returns, with sword on hip. He bows, "After you, my lady." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani has since gotten her cloak back. She smiles at you and says, "Thank you.."

Solgarik offers his arm.

Zeysani lightly accepts the arm, walking along with you.

(OOC: Walking along...)

Anarinuell: Between the Western Gates of the Palace District

Taleo comes in from the east.

Taleo nods as he passes

Solgarik smiles at Zeysani, as he nears the gates to her home, "Here we are, safe and sound, my lady."

Taleo leaves southwest for the Bear District.

Zeysani nods her head faintly to Taleo as he passes and then smiles to Solgarik, "Thank you, Prince Solgarik.." {Excellent Firan}

Solgarik bows deeply, "Anytime." {Excellent Firan}

Zeysani smiles and leans up to give you a light kiss on the cheek, "Have a safe walk home.." {Firan}

Solgarik smiles, and flushes faintly, watching you quietly.

Zeysani moves away then and towards the Eagle Estate.

Solgarik watches you, as you go, his lips curved into a warm smile.
