”Ya that fierceness was why the orphanage locked me in the shed and burned it; after that all I remember was keeping my head down low, taking beatings as they were given, and running lots of running.” She still highly doubted children were like dragons; and using her as an example did NOT ease her worries…in fact they probably made them worse. Though perhaps when the pain of the loss wore down; and if circumstances were different… However she figured that would be in the far distant future if it happened at all. Aria sat in Garrett’s lap completely content; his presence was comforting.
Aria looked up at him as he looked down at her like a deer surprised in the forest; he was adorable when he was surprised. Aria nodded agreeing to his deal; she did like his singing. ”Deal; though you did a fair good job back in the tunnels when I was shot….or was that a hallucination?...I also remember pretty colors and a pink dragon…” Really Aria found his off guard face cute; however it would seem she cut her comfy time out as Garrett gently placed her down on the floor and on to a bear rug. She blinked and looked down. ”I hope this is no one I know or well knew…” Arias gaze traveled back up as he wrapped the blanket around her shoulders. Between the fire, Garrett, the blanket, and the silk embroidered coat she had yet to take off Aria was getting over heated. As he went to go get the food; Aria shrugged off the blanket and unbuttoned her coat. Shrugging it off and letting it fall around her. Underneath her coat she wore a long light grey silk shirt that fallowed the same cut and length as her coat. She unbutton the silk shirt just above her chest; without her coat the temperature was much more comfortable. The silk shirt hugged her curves; and the stitching and buttons were done in a deep cobalt blue.
”Thank you” Aria smiled a bit when the food was placed down in front of her; everything did look delicious. She always liked Garrett’s cooking when he made something for her; up till now though it had just been eggs. Aria picked up her plate and took a bite; a blissful expression on her face. ”This is delicious.” It did make her happy to know that her gift meant something to him; she hoped to continue to add to it. ”You’ll have to let me at the quilt again after tonight; I need to add another patch.” She wasn’t expecting to have to add one so soon. But tonight earned a patch. Aria continued to happily munch on her food; but then Garrett asked a question that made her freeze and look like a deer that got caught. She took her time chewing the bite that she had just taken….thinking of how to exactly answer that. ”Well…”
Aria was now unsure of how to word this that wouldn’t sent Garrett over the edge. She slowly took another bite of food to buy time. Really she didn’t know what to say that wouldn’t alert him otherwise; and she’ wouldn’t flat out lie to Garretts face. Well time to play a useless vague game with him…”Well…I didn’t interact much; I kept to myself and dove into my work with the drakes….as for the nobles…..the majority treat me as well as to be expected. I think my efficiency has earned some respect; people don’t really bug you much when you have a bunch of giant angry lizards around you…Plus Noky would get cranky if anyone was overly rude. Noky being my personal drake; he hatched on the way to Palico.” Aria starched the back of her head; there was a good chance Garrett would eventually hear of what happened during her coronation. So she took a deep breath and looked at her lap “There was an incident at my coronation…you’re going to hear about it eventually….I’d rather really not go into much detail. You’ll likely just get pissed off at it; and Lucinda would end up missing a brother…actually I’m kinda worried of what will happen when Noku hears about it….It’s not going to be pretty. Silas humiliated me during my coronation by forcing a demonstration of my abilities to the court…and forcing me in a situation where I had to kill two drakes and forcefully make others submit. I figure it was punishment for outright refusing to train the drakes in the manner he wished… I denied him something else as well” Arias face fell as she ran her hand over her features. “Silas is a mad man; however his attachment to his sister is a saving grace. His actions with me during my coronation put a large rift between him and his sister; I think he’s afraid to misstep again…”[/b] Really focusing on Palico wouldn’t give them a lighter topic to talk about, however…”OH during a training mission with the drakes I discovered an island two miles off the coast of the southern end of Nova. Its uninhabited and unclaimed territory…well was. I’ve invested in having a home built out there. I want to approach Noku in hopes of striking a trading agreement. If Noku agrees I hope to approach Adrain to help me with a spell that will allow quick access to the island.”
