- Pressing her lips together as a painful prickling feeling rose in her eyes, Elidae looked up to the sky. She didn't want to think about what he could have possibly done, but the mere idea that not only did the queen tell him not to do something, he did something behind her back as well, made her sick to her stomach. Her bottom lip quivered and her eyes squinted.
"He makes stupid mistakes," She started, pausing as she tried to form words. "Because he's an idiot who hasn't learned that his actions affect those around him. He focuses too much on the tiny details that relate to him rather than the big picture. It's something... I'm trying to work on with him." She inhaled slowly. Despite the fear she felt and the tears springing to her eyes, she looked the empress in the eye.
"His past is awful and no one can say its not- not even he can. He knows it, maybe more than anyone else. It follows him every day and it affects every relationship he tries to make with others- and that makes it worse. But there has been absolutely no question on where his loyalties lie now. And that is with you. I will promise that- as his moirail and- a citizen of Alternia." Elidae put a hand over her chest.
"I sincerely don't know what happened. And- I can't really blame your thoughts on it. I'm... sad about it. But Kursha... Kursha has so much potential and he just needs some guidance in the right direction. If you haven't made the decision to cull him just yet- maybe you know this, too."
