MC: *the princess, to whom Malleus is engaged, has requested to meet with them in private*
Vaelithra: It brings me great pleasure that you chose to honor my invitation. The refreshments and desserts have already been prepared, for I suspect our discussion will not be a brief one.
MC: (Does she expect me to be hostile toward her? Well, I can't blame her. Malleus came on far too strongly and made it abundantly clear how little interest he had in the entire arrangement.) *sighs inwardly*
MC: *takes the seat across from her*
Vaelithra: *seems a little disappointed by their choice but says nothing*
MC: Your Royal Highness—
Vaelithra: Formalities are unnecessary between us. Vae will do just fine.
MC: *smiles* Alright, Vae. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Vaelithra: The pleasure is mine as well.
Lilia: It seems everything MC told you went in one ear and out the other.
Malleus: You would not understand, Lilia. She evoked the same unease I felt whenever others surrounded the Child of Man.
Lilia: That hardly seems likely. They've never known one another.
Vaelithra: *despite her graceful demeanor, she's a rather messy eater, with crumbs still dotting the corner of her mouth*
MC: *stands up, walks over to her, and gently wipes the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief*
Vaelithra: …Thank you. I fear I've made quite an impression on myself.
MC: Don't worry. It's cute. *smiles*
Vaelithra: *her fae ears twitched involuntarily*
