[PRP] Court Shenanigans [FINISHED]

[Seiana_ZI]

As amused as Aeroniel was watching Hjortur flounder, there was no point in holding the leech of a man on any longer. He was the one who had initiated this conversation, was he not? Aeroniel had just been unlucky enough to be in the same hallway as Hjortur was swimming. Of course she had been unlucky enough to do that. Why could she never find any place where she could have some peace and quiet?

That was all she wanted. A place where she didn't have to think and she didn't have to hear anyone else think, either. Her mind was never silent, always buzzing. Even now, it was buzzing. For someone who was supposedly so charming with his music, Hjortur seemed to get awfully awkward around authority. He was acting like he hadn't a clue how to behave when it came to ending a conversation other than swish his tail awkwardly and attempt to smile.

Aeroniel may not have been particularly good at emotion herself, but she could read it well in others. After all, she had been raised around other naiad, typically very emotional people ... and her best friend was Tariel on top of that.

"Alright." Was he waiting on some kind of signal from her? "You're free to go, if you want."

Aeroniel is such a stick in the mud, I'm sorry. XD

Nodding, Hjortur returned. "Yes ma'am. I wish you a pleasant day." He bowed his head lightly before taking off in the direction she had pointed to him earlier.

God... God that was so awkward. It was easy to talk to girls and goddesses and girl goddesses and all that, so why had it been so painfully difficult to speak with her? Was it her title? Was it the fact she could read his thoughts? He was never like that to anyone else... Perhaps it was the fact that the entire conversation felt a little forced, like he had made her talk to him? Actually, he probably had. She was probably relieved to have him go. Everypae was always happier with him gone that not; unless he was giving a performance in the common areas, that was.

It was likely the reason he hadn't been able to keep any of his friends from growing up... Not that he really thought about it often, but being continually ostracized and criticized did get lonely after a while. Was it so much to ask to just be praised one?

Why was he thinking about this? Blah. His mood soured a bit, he swam away, his thoughts much different than those he had come in with.

Is cool. XD Sorry about the extended internal diologe. Also, he really is usually much more charming than this (I didn't even know he could be so awkward around authority). Looks like we know why though.

Yes, he had been waiting on a signal from her. As soon as she offered it, he seemed to get swimming faster than a naiad being chased by a shark out in the ocean. Aeroniel chuckled quickly, shaking her head. It was, admittedly, rather funny to see people so intimidated by her on a regular basis, especially the ones that proclaimed themselves to be so charming or so polite and of courtly manner. Perhaps she wouldn't tell them that, though. It would be dreadful if they decided to stop...

For a few moments, Aeroniel watched Hjortur retreat, finally relaxing when she could no longer make out what he was thinking... some peace and quiet.

Ah.

Though perhaps she should find a location a bit further from Hjortur's home grounds. If she stayed there too long, she was just bound to get run into again ... and so, she decided to go find the library.

No problem! Aeroniel's posts are a lot of inner dialog too. x3 That was fun!
