The Queen and the Lord Arrive

[Taske]

Kaori puffed at the queen, his patience with humans becoming more and more thin. He did not care if the human Queen listened or not, all he wanted was for him to up and go back to his land, that was all, now that Black Star was here and not where she was suppose to be he was even more anxious to get back, he was so ready that his wings twitched and was about to pull him up into the air, away from all those silly humans, and back to what is his.

But then Black Star seemed to perch herself on his paws, and Titania started to speck. He sighed, folding his wings against his large sides again, becoming even more impatient but still stay for the mare fact that he did promises Titania that he would be here, and hell, no matter what Black Star did his land was fine for now, but if it where not, well lets just say there will be OutLaw juts on his cave walls for decoration. He huffed smoke constantly out of his nose, Non stop, from his concern and irritation.

"Don't worry about it Black Star, I will forgive you this once, but that is it, no more breaking my trust, not when I have been so kind and trusting to you and your people..." He growled as if to enforce his words, he hoped that Black Star will take what he had said to heart, that she would respect him enough that she would give her word that she would forever keep her word to him, from now on.

He watched the small exchange that seemed to go through both the princess and the OutLaw, they seemed more friendly then someone just returning a lost persons back home, they seemed to be within a deal them self, mush like what he always enters into...

He huffed his face stony, holding the fairy even close to him, for comfort, he did not like this situation he was in, Even with one princess in good order with the OutLaw, the other, on the other hand, seemed to hold much anger within herself, a jealous look to her sister told Kaori what he was dealing with, and frankly he felt the urge to just flame her now and save the other the hassle of dealing with her in the future. But the would not hold well with the queen or the other princess, so that urge he will keep to himself, and besides Titania would hate him for roasting someone without obvious cause.

He huffed more, smoke floating up into the sky, making a small cloud then fad, this needed to end, and it needed to end quickly before this old brute just broke under the strain. "So queen what do you say, do you join forces with us, or not." He growled at her his voice booming with his ever increasing irritation.

Titania’s golden eyes flitted upwards towards the dragon’s own gaze, a smile still across her facial features as she patiently listened to his words before glancing towards the human queen down below, her breaths steady and simple as she waited patiently. She gazed upon the site of the outlaw and the princess, the more tender exchange between them and her gaze shimmered briefly before turning away once more as she gazed towards the human queen once again, waiting in silence for her reply and yet as the silence ticked away, she sighed softly and lowered to lean her back against the earth colored scales as she smoothed the silk across her thighs as she relaxed once more, her wings spreading to allow her to lean back comfortably.

She waited, ever patient as she knew that humans could be so indecisive and that their decisions did not always come easily. Taking a breath, her hands fluttered towards her temples briefly, her breath catching for a brief moment as her eyes grew wider before closing her eyes once more as her heart thudded for a brief moment before glancing outwards towards the human queen once again, the color washing from her face for a brief moment before returning once again as she righted herself with a soft sigh, satisfied as her glow returned once again. Death. Death always had the crudest of warnings for her, something she did not always appreciate but she certainly did not defile, either.

As her fingers traced the edge of her silks, she remained still, rather hoping that the queen would reply soon if for nothing else then for the sake of the dragon whom held her close to his chest, relishing the warmth as the breeze whistled around them for even the world seemed to be rejoicing in the festival that was unfolding not far away. Her eyes fluttered between each human creature below, the human queen swathed in vibrant red and white and gold, her daughter standing at her side. They were truly one and the same. Their outfits, their attitudes, the stain of the kingdom. The future queen, dressed in royal purple, blue, and gold. Glittering gems adorning her skin she was truly brilliant and inviting to the eye. She smiled as she gazed down towards the two woman. The outlaw in turn was beautiful and though a human with a different sort of ways about life, indeed just as beautiful as the princess who sat at her side. From two different worlds and yet so close together. The balance was strengthening, once again her ill feeling was beginning to wan and she breathed a sigh of relief. Now, only if the queen would admit this to herself and while she awaited her reply, she knew that for now things would remain in tact but for how long would the queen listen? How hard would she work to reverse what had already been set in motion?

Throughout the entire exchange Liliandil (once Elizabeth name now retired) stood thoughtful. She hated to join forces with the Outlaw Queen, but at the same time did not wish for her kingdom to ever become destroyed, she loved being a Queen too much. As she watched Alexa tend to Black Star her overbearing nature flicked on and she had a sudden urge to walk over and pull her daughter back towards her, but one look at Kaori kept her at bay.

She pondered the warning for a few minutes more, forming an answer in her head and deciding the best way to give it. She finally came to a somewhat acceptable answer and cleared her throat to signal her decision to speak. We shall, though thoroughly unhappily, join forces with your alliance against whatever coming war or wars there may be. Also as the Queen I shall promise, somewhat hesitantly, that we shall hold all erm...hostilities against one another unless provoked." As she stated that last bit she looked pointedly at Black Star then looked to the Fairy Queen and the Lord Dragon Kaori for their response.

As she so waited she again found herself watching her daughter quite angered at the fact that she was openly defying her mother. A look crossed her face that only accentuated the anger she felt within. The furrows upon the Queens features deepened noticeably and did not enhance her features, though hardly any angry emotion did. Quite as sudden as before had to keep herself from waltzing over and ripening Alexa away from the Outlaw. So instead of doing as she desired she opted to glaring at her daughters back hoping that she would somehow feel her mothers eyes boring into the back of her skull and realize just how angry she was making her paranoid mother.

Black Star flinched a bit but allowed Alexa to to as the princess pleased. The outlaw relished the looks received from the other royal members but after Alexa was done she sat quietly, like a good little ruffian. She wanted to argue to Kaori that she had no real choice and had to bring Alexa back. It wasn't every day a princess, the heiress at that, wandered into camp and outlaws had the chance to affect her as they had. In all honestly, the Grellon Queen desired to return to her mountains and rest. She was tired and still drained from the sudden power loss that had been spurred by her dagger leaving contact with Black Star's slim frame. But in any case, she knew Kaori would not listen to her.

The outlaw was amused by the queen. She couldn't tell if Abbie acted like the queen or vice versa. In any case, she listened silently to the queen's reply. The outlaw rolled her eyes, "She started it...." Black Star muttered and then smirked. But Black Star was done with this little meeting. Goodness knows she had paid enough with her own blood. The guards would never forget her now.

Standing suddenly she placed her hands behind her back and moved in ways that could almost be described as twitching. When the queen finished Black Star spoke, "Well obviously this day has been fulfilling. I think I've done my good deed of the century anyway. I wish you all adieu and Abbie I hope to see you again, just hopefully not in that hideous outfit. Black Star gave that devilish grin and winked at Alexa. Alexa knew how to find the outlaws if needed. Looking up at Kaori and then to Titania she gave an off-hand salute, " See you later."

The outlaw took a running leap and amazingly clung to the side of the castle walls, scaling them with some little difficulty. Goodness knows she climbed in high places enough. The woman was up and over the wall and running away who knows where. Certainly not directly to her mountains as she did not wish for others to follow her. But the outlaw was no longer part of the conversation and had no wish other then to go home.

Abigail's eyes fluttered to the site of the outlaw for a mere moment as she gazed towards the other woman with a pinch of her eyes, more or less glaring towards the sight of the woman as she folded her arms across her chest but as she commented upon her festival dress, she gasped as if she had been punched in the stomach. Her hands dropped down over the folds of the dress and her lilac eyes grew wide as she stared after the raven haired outlaw, gazing after the form of the woman for a while before she turned and darted away, racing back along the stone courtyard as she darted into the shadows of the castle, tears stinging her eyes and rage flooding her veins but none the less when the second princess had disappeared among the castle walls, things grew much more quiet out in the courtyard, leaving the dragon, the Fairy Queen, and the royals out on the stone.

There was a slight whisper of wind but Alexa held in a tiny tinkle of laughter, swallowing as instead, she coughed. She smoothed the skirts of her dress and stood once more, carefully avoiding her mother's stony stare as she looked upwards upon the form of the dragon with a slight smile, her head inclined slightly as she peered up at the earthen toned beast and the fairy that he held to his chest. She sighed softly, bowing briefly to them both, "It has been a pleasure to speak with you and allow you to our home." she assured them with a pleasant tone before finally, she turned to appease the Queen's wishes as she stepped forward between her mother and father and if one looked at the trio, they would see the similarities, and the differences between them but no doubt most of all, they would see the future Queen in all of her splendor with diamonds dripping from her head to her chest and her silks falling in a shimmering cascade down upon her frame, her hands folded before herself as she awaited the final closing to the meeting, her honey lashes fluttering closed for a moment briefly as she sighed softly and now, fell silent.
