Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Throw myself into harm's way? I never!" Carlton protested. "I have a duty to my people - to live, and lead them when I return to Denasy, don't I? I simple cannot afford to die." Another elegant shrug, and he was ready to turn to another topic.

But this Jace Alaris man was cryptic, speaking of names tied up with trust. Carlton really didn't know what he was talking about, so he ignored whatever Alaris was going on about and greeted him as though he had said nothing.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, master Alaris," he said politely. He inclined his head slightly, the shallow movement a small bow of acknowledgement.

Cronos held out his arm, and Samantha crawled down his arm towards the woman. "But of course my dear. Her name is Samantha." she spread out her wings, the end feathers were silver in color and appeared to glisten in the light. "Sam for short, she is quite the sucker for attention."

Kira didn't hear his words, her attention completely captivated by the show of shining feathers, and she reached out tentatively without thinking or being aware of her own actions. So lost was she within her own mind that she only saw what she was doing at the instant her fingers brushed the soft feathers of the bird..

And then she cried out in pain, bringing both hands to her head and nearly doubling over as a terrible throbbing took over her mind. She couldn't think, she couldn't speak, so great was her pain that she fell to one knee and felt tears well up in her eyes. She gasped, breathing now a difficult task rather than an automatic reflex, and she dug her fingers into her fire red hair in an attempt to hold together her skull which felt as if it were splitting open.

Samantha, flew off Cronos` arm and flew at Carlton, hitting his arm to move the sword away from Cronos. Cronos himself stepped back to be gain more space between himself and the hostility. "I have done nothing to the woman, she collapsed when she saw my friend." He held out his arm and Samantha landed on it again.

Tristram noted that he had all but been forgotten about as the prince and wizard continued on with their conversation. It also appeared as if Kira had forgotten them altogether with her attention now on a man and his flacon. Falco rusticolus Tristram thought, with its large wing span and color tipped wings. The bird appeared domesticated, or as domestic as a wild animal can get. The man, another elf it seemed.

'My, they are coming out of the wood work are they not?'

Kira seemed distracted by the bird for some reason, and that alone had the nobleman curious. He found himself watching the woman's action carefully and closely, looking for something that would begin a story or even a small tale. He found himself moving slowly towards them, to the side to retain some manner of politeness, and waiting to see what came of this event.

Kira feel to her knees then racked with pain that seemed not there but a moment ago. She gripped her head as if to keep her grey matter within her head. The prince was to her in an instant with an arm around her and a sword to the elf's nose.

'that seems a bit rash.'

Tristram walked over to the prince with hands raised in a passive motion. He looked to the man and his bird, then to Carlton, then to the lady still in pain.

"The lady is in pain would you kindly put that thing away so I may have a look at her good sir. I have knowledge in matter that may help find the cause to the ladies problem. Please lay her down and I will have a look."

Cronos rolled his eyes. This man he thought is going to annoy me to no end. He looked at Samantha, clicked his to tongue twice, and she flew off. He looked back at the prince and looked at his now sheathed sword. "And keep your sword where it belongs, or better yet get rid of it. I hate such barbaric tools." Cronos watched as the nobleman approached, he had watched the entire incident and new that Cronos was of no harm for now.

Cronos turned to Jace, and slowly walked up beside him "Boy." he addressed him, not caring to much about his age however old he might be. He stepped closer and spoke quietly so only the two of them could here the conversation "You stand still and watch quietly, I presume you are examining the young lady there, which can only mean you must have some idea of the sickness that ales her." he spoke quickly not wanting to be interrupted, but once he had said his fill he calmly awaited an answer.
