Feast for Hard Workers

[Gumboots]

*Zemilia breaths heavily the colour slowly diminishing from her face. She croaks out.*

"Thank you."

*She reaches for her water with shakey gloved hands. She finds it hard to grip the glass but she manages to drink a little easing her throat. As Elidren speaks to her she speaks back quietly with a slightly husky voice.*

"I will be, thank you for your concern. Would you mind finding me something to sooth my throat with?"

[quillkeeper]

*The Paige nods and disappears, returning shortly with a Glass of honey-water. He then resumes his place behind his Lady's chair.*

[Gumboots]

*She signals for him once more, when he approaches.*

"Paige please, go?"

[quillkeeper]

*Elidren teters on the verge of indecision before whispering something into his Lady's ear, taking on the tones of an advisor.*

"My Lady it is unwise that I leave you after such a close call. I would not want you to choke again, only for it to be missed. Your people would never forgive my lapse in duty."

[Gumboots]

*Zemilia drops her voice.*

"That may be so but I still wish for you to go and finish your conversation and to take it easy for a little while. Then you may return and not before hand. If I choke there will be people around to help. I do not think that it will go un-noticed by Sylor."

*She raises her voice to a more ordering mode.*

"Now do not disobey!"

[quillkeeper]

*Elidren nods and moves away, returning to his conversation with Nailanna's mother.*

[Gumboots]

*Zemilia takes little sips of the huney water, turning back to Sylor.*

"Well perhaps it was a combination of two people that made the concotion that you drank. I am not sure it is yet to be figured out. Hopefully it will not happen again and that if it does that anyone around will be observant enough to realise what has happened."

[bedevere]

Well, I dont think they would want me dead, since a poison so powerful would logically be a waste of time if so. They could have slipped something in far more deadly if that was their intent. So. They wanted me asleep for something, and for a long time. Still, noting happened of note, except your brief excursion, and that didnt need me asleep for more than an hour or two. A regular sleeping poison would have done the trick just as well...

Hmm. Something about the magical part, then? That needed a lot of time to take effect, without being disturbed?

[Gumboots]

*Zemilia shrugs.*

"I think it may be a mistery for a time. Just think I am still a little fuzzy in places about what happened when I went on that excersion. I am not sure."

*An expression appears on her face of contemplation but it soon changes to a relaxed expression.*

[bedevere]

*Sylor sits there thinking still for a short time, then seems to realise something*

Remind me to talk to the alchemist here later. I need to check something with him about his trade. Until then, back to the celebration.

I've had more brushes with death this last year than I have the rest of my life put together, but they have taught me one thing above all else. Life is to be enjoyed to the best of your abilities. Otherwise, it is being wasted.

[Gumboots]

*Zemilia smiles and slips her gloved right hand onto Sylors leg she seems to glow nicely.*

"I know that for truth, so much can happen that the good bits should be enjoyed even more."

[bedevere]

*Sylor flinches slightly as her hand makes contact, before realising it isn't a threat from an unknown source*

You always seem able to surprise me, despite how well I think I know you. This past year is most certainly a worthwhile one.

[Gumboots]

*A smile that is welcoming to all that see appears on her face.*

"I suprise you? Perhaps this new year will be even more suprising. It would be a dull life if it was constantly always the same. Perhaps you are still learning what it is to be a man who is bethroved to me. I am still adjusting to being a princess let alone princess regent who will become queen of the Earth Elves eventually. Dateing someone who I had always thought was above my station AND Prince of the High Elves. I hope this will be a good year for us. Now all we have to do if find Kayleeia."

[bedevere]

Ah, yes. I wouldn't worry too much about her, she seems entirely able to fend for herself. her innocent appearance keeps her safe, and if anyone does threaten her, then she is actually quite dangerous. At least as good as I am with magic, despite her young age.

Still, I would like to see her again, and know she is safe, and have her know she has a home here. I broke too many ties with my past at once. You are the only connection to my youth at the moment.

[Gumboots]

*Zemilia blinks a few times and has a pittying look on her face.*

"It will never be the same, you know that one day to the next we all change sometimes for the good sometimes for the bad. Wisdom I have discovered comes from learning and not being ignorant of what is happening around you."

*She chuckles once more to herself then a few tears role down her cheaks. She quickly turns her head away from Sylor.*
