Welcome to Gaia! ::

Taking a step back Evieline instantly regretted asking the question. "It was just a question...I was kidding I promise." Feeling like a scolded child she looked at the ground shamefully. Once again she was doing her job terribly. "I'm sorry your highness." With that she gave a formal bow and went to mount her horse before stopping. "If you want I'll walk and you can ride her by yourself." Not meeting his gaze she petted Hope gently.

Maraad chuckled and looked down at Kyannah. "I'll deal with you later." He spoke with a husky tone so only she would hear. Winking he lead them back toward the dinning room.

"That might work on my sister, but its not going to work on me." Miyako said crossing her arms as she look at him. Sighing she look at her sister with a smile. "We are as different as our mother and father are. Just like mother she is always fun and games, but she does have a serious side. Like I choose not to be like her, she chooses not to be like me. We are the moon and the sun." Looking over at Taj she kept her smiled and playfully rolling her eyes before taking his arm. "I'll make an exception you, but don't expect it to happen often."

Evie rode until they were outside the kingdom's gates and hopped off and took the Prince's hand. "The week before my brothers left home we went camping with our friends from the neighboring farm. They dared a boy to kiss me, but he chickened out and I never got another chance because soon I joined the military to become a paladin, but instead I got offer to be your knight...." She was desperate to cheer him up. "The boys in the military said I look to much like a guy to come around. It's worth it though, I get to hang out and protect you...I do a terrible job though." Looking bashfully down at the ground she hope her embarrassment would cheer him up. She'd do anything to see him smile, and she didn't want to do it because it was her job. No Evie truly cared about the prince, and she figured it showed to at least his father because she was still here.

Once they reached the dinner table Maraad pull out a chair for Kyannah. Making sure she was seated before he sat down next to her. The King hadn't arrived yet, they were early, but that gave him more time to get to know the little druid lady.

Miya laughed as he led her along. "It's his job I suppose, as much as your brother gets on my nerves, he is our war general, and your are my comrade. I accept you all they way you are, even if you do get on my nerves from time to time." Smiling again she looked forward again.

Taking the reins she hurried and caught up with the Prince. "I'll always tell you anything you want to know. I trust you with my life, just like your life has been trusted into my hands." She gave him a soft smile and wished they could go back to how they left the city. She wished she could let him act like a normal teenager, and that she didn't make him feel like she was just a babysitter.

Maraad let out a loud chuckle, "We may be considered alien on this planet, but the people of this planet are still alien to us. We are what you call part-goat, but there is so much more to us then that."

"Sister was always playing off in the flowers while I was off making friends with animals. I was an antil-bully I guess you could say. I wanted to join the sentinels when I got older, but it never happened. I stilled acted like one as a child."

Smiling Evie reached up and ruffled his hair. "And I trust you with mine..." Blushing when she realize what she said she turned her face away quickly. "We need to hurry back to the keep and get changed before someone realizes your gone."

Miyako shook her head at her sister with small smirk on her face. "There is an entire world out there sister, you haven't even met half of the alliance races, then there is the horde, and all the other races." She turned to Taj with her smile and spoke again. "Honestly I chose the path of the hunter in hopes of joining the Sentinels...but I realized there was a chance of never seeing my sister or the rest of my family again. I didn't really care about having a family of my own, but I couldn't leave my sister behind."

Evie rolled her eyes before pulling on one of his hands. "Come on Andi we don't want to be late." Teasing him ever so lightly she pulled him along behind her. "Your father might get a bad idea if we don't hurry back soon anyway."

"What I don't understand is why Miya never told us she had an older sister." Maraad asked with a raised eyebrow looking over at the younger sister.

Miya shrugged at all the comments. "Someone had to keep Kya out of trouble, it might as well be her baby sister. Anyway mother and father taught us to look after each other."

Once they entered the keep Evieline pushed the prince towards his room. "Get changed, or I fear I won't be able to get you into the war meeting." With that she went to her room across the hall. Pulling on her mail armor she wore around the keep she ran a brush through her short hair. It felt weird not seeing the little farm girl that she had grown up looking at in the mirror of her mother's room. Sighing she turned away and looked at the letter on her desk, if things kept going this way she'd be called into the battle again Arthas. "I guess I'll have to tell him soon enough, before his father tells him at least...." Turning back into the hall with her royal tabard and cape.

"Because you like to spout nonsense." Maraad muttered with an eye roll of his own. "I do listen to you, but you listen to me just as much."

"In my opinion you both spout nothing, but nonsense." Miya said slouching in her chair with her arms crossed over her chest. "Trust is a two way street, I count on her to have my back, in return she always has mine. My faults are her talents and likewise. Mother thinks we should have been twins." A slight smirk crossed her face as she looked over at her older sister.

"You highness," Evieline said with a bow before turning to escort him down the hall where she knew his father would be waiting on them.

"It's partly your fault....I'm fairly certain it was your idea to begin with, and you wonder why I don't listen to you. I swear he gets into more trouble than a child." Turning to Kyannah he smiled softly. "That look suits you quiet well."

Miya rolled her eyes as the flirting started up again. "Taj distract me before it makes me sick." She muttered so only he could hear. Leaning down she petted Foxi who had laid down between them.

Evieline sighed as she escorted him down the hall. It might have just been his father, but to her he was still the King of Stormwind. Once he was seated she took her usual position behind his chair leaning again the wall at attention. Something she was more than use to, and something she didn't really mind. As long as Anduin was safe, she could deal with all the formalities.

Miya rose with Taj and bowed to the prince. Once they had were seated again Miya glared at her sister before turning her attention back to Foxi. "The garden is lovely this year, my Prince. My fox wants nothing more to lay in the sun patches. When this war is over you must invite us back to enjoy it under more peaceful circumstances." Reaching down to pet the fox, Miya spoke like nothing would be lost from this war, they all knew not everyone that went in would come back, they had already lost so many. Why bring it up again?

Maraad turned toward Kyannah still smiling slightly. "You and your say you are like twins, was there ever a time when you had...say a rivalry?" He asked trying to bring in idle chit chat while they waited for the King to join them. They had all relaxed since the afternoon meeting, and it did seem like the evening meeting would go more smoothly.
