Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ashe finally felt herself when she entered the banquet hall. On the table lay all sorts of delights for the taste buds, not expense was ever spared for the true royalty, and it was one of the few reasons why Ashe didn't mind ruling the country, free food. She motioned for the Princess and her friend to join her at the table as she herself sat down. "If there is anything either of you think I should know, tell me now."

Violet continued on towards the large table with a lot of food stacked up on top of it. Quietly she sat down next to Celestina seemingly out of it. She had a long day today, with the whole fight she just had, meeting her sister who she never even knew existed before today. She paused her thought process for a moment. 'Speaking of which, where did Coraline go? I thought she was right behind me earlier...' She swiveled her head around while shoving a piece of bread into her mouth. 'How odd... maybe she got lost?' She chewed thoughtfully and decided she would go find her a little bit later. She didn't want to be rude and get up and leave now. Turning back towards where the Queen was she swallowed and began to speak. "Yeah, I'm with Celestina on this one. I'm not really sure what kind of information would be useful to you."

"Well, as long as your with the Air, and follow Illusion, you need to do what is in every one's best interest. As far as ambassadors..." Tassen stopped in mid sentence, as he sense someone approached. "I would suggest you get back to what Illusion had told you to do, which if I am correct, was to watch the two of us as we searched for the Queen's existence. If you want, you can report that we have succeeded in finding her, and that she is in fact alive, or you can continue to watch us, or you can go your own way." He laid the facts down for them. He was trying to be nice with this, as they were good allies to have around, and in the coming chaos, each of them could be very useful. They would be in danger though, so maybe if Tassen could find someplace for the shy one to stay...

Turning his attention and his thoughts to the new person, he sensed something... familiar. "Greetings. I hope you have come as a friend, stranger." Tassen responded. He had forgotten he was still in his dragon form, and might possibly intimidate those not use to seeing a giant lizard. Not to mention that talking in their heads part...

Moriarty gave Tassen a strange look and then shrugged. "Kat here already reported back to Illusion. We have plans to make our own way, at least until the rain leaves us alone." He looked over to the new face, and his sword and beast.

Kat took the opportunity, the distraction, to disappear into a corner of the room.

Moriarty grinned, and took a step closer to Tassen, whispering to him "That sword doesn't look like a friend to me." He said, folding his arms as he looked at the stranger.

"Actually I have come to renew an old vow. If you would have the pleasure of coming with me for a moment. I think you might want it to be just the two of us, as I might have some... unusual... information for you." Vincent motioned for Tassen to follow him into the nearby bushes that he himself had just left. With his other hand, he stroked the slightly agitated beast's side to calm the creature. "Shhh, we are among friends." He whispered into the creature's ear, after it had lowered it's head to receive more scratches behind its flame like ear.

Violet froze when she heard the queen ask about Illegitimate children. 'Well, technically no... but I guess I do need to update her.' She cleared her throat and began answering her questions. "My nation hasn't been producing much food for a long time now, but that could account for the war and the fact that our land can grow very little. Our territory I guess is fine... although Air still has the Flamma Mountains." She paused before she continued hoping her voice would stay steady and not betray her. "As for the topic of illegitimate children... no, we have none... but there is something you should know." She sighed and continued on with it. "I have just found out that I have a younger sister. She just came to me today, and it was a bit of a shock." She stopped speaking to let it all sink in. Hopefully Ashe would understand.

Zig raised a surprised eyebrow as she chewed on a piece of chicken. Interesting that Violet would have a sister she knew nothing about before... I wonder if nobles always have such issues... The air elementalist pondered this as she waited to see just what the queen would say in response.

"You and your brother are not welcome here currently, please leave until my disfavor is made known to Princess Illusion." She said curtly as she drank lightly from a goblet full of a red liquid. She turned to Violet "A sister? Where is she? Is she the girl who was accompanying you outside earlier?" She glanced over at Zig to make sure that the girl did not feel left out since it seemed like she was ignoring air.

((Uhhhh...when she's in normal Queen mode Ashe, battle mode = Shina))
