There weren’t often days like this, with nobody claiming her company and no obligation to do anything she didn’t want to. So when she had them, she used them to explore and learn as much as she could about the people around here. Some might call it nosiness, she called it forward-thinking. Footsteps approaching and she immediately went on the defensive. 

(alexandra dowling, 24, cis female) Is that (NISSA FLETCHER) walking through the castle halls? (SHE) hails from (OSCANA) and is known as a (COURTESAN). Word around the castle is that (SHE) is (INTELLIGENT & BRAVE) but can be (STUBBORN & DECEITFUL) if crossed. (ooc: becky, 25, gmt, she/her, no triggers)

Sun shone high in the sky as Keoni wandered the grounds of the castle, killing time before his meeting with the Queen to go over his reports. Not a good idea as he quickly found himself lost in the halls and no matter how confident he was that he was finally going the right way changed that. Keoni never committed the castle’s layout to memory even before his travels since most of his time was spent on the training grounds or in the city proper. With papers clutched in his hands the man took more turns, scaring one maid half to death along the way until he found someone else among the halls. “Hey! Excuse me, I’m trying to find my way to her majesty’s waiting rooms. Could you point me in the right direction? I’ll return the favor with a round of Darnek’s finest drink.”

“Do you think the coronation will mean war?” Roman didn’t even try to hide the glee in his voice. War meant going home, or even better, going into battle. He hadn’t worked out the specifics with the ambassador who offered to help him get back into the military if he helped tank the treaty, so he wasn’t sure if the deal would stand if he played no part in sinking the alliance, but he hoped it would stand no matter what. “If we don’t reach a deal by the time the princess is crowned?” 

Felicity swung her sword back and forth, her own private drill practice.  A makeshift training dummy stood in front of her.  Just because she was away from her ship for the time being was no excuse for her to allow her skills to disintegrate.  Besides, she needed some way to vent her frustrations with being at court, of all places.  At the sound of another’s approach, she turned quickly, sword held straight out in front of her, blade steady.  “Surely someone’s told you it’s a bad idea to sneak up on a woman with a sword.”

It was late, the only thing in the kingdom that should have been awake were the stalking animals praying on those that were sound asleep. But the crowned prince stood in the garden alone, gaze cast towards the heavens and a large cape wrapped around his shoulders to keep him warm.

(Keiynan Lonsdale, 26, Male) Is that (Archon (Archie) Baltierra) walking through the castle halls? (He/Him) hails from (Ryhule) and is known as the (Crowned Prince). Word around the castle is that (he) is (curious & empathetic) but can be (self-destructive & evasive) if crossed.
