For Imperial Saga

[It was the night of the party and Koriand'r had decided to go. She is standing off to the side in her long blue dress. She wasn't sure if someone would ask her to dance, but she is there anyway. Would anyone really want to dance with the alien girl who didn't really fit in?]

[The young alien girl was out in the woods, soaking up the warmth and rays of the sun. She spent so much time inside being a diplomat here on this world that she felt drained periodically so she just had to walk away and take in the warmth. But as she walked, she heard a sound and turned to look]

Is someone there?

[It was something that Koriand'r enjoyed and a few people seemed to think that she was just another pretty face and didn't like getting her hands dirty. So she was determined to prove them wrong. She had headed out to the training grounds, wearing what she preferred most when she was fighting. She picks up one of the staffs that anyone could use]

Anyone care to go a few rounds?

[Koriand'r assumed correctly. What she heard was the rustling of leaves caused by this blonde-haired girl moving through them. She had a stern, but gentle face. Though she wore armor, she carried no weapon. No harm was meant.]

Yes, lucky for you. In these woods, it could have easily been something.

[escapedprincess]

[First instinct was to glance to see if the other person had a weapon. Seeing that she didn't put her at ease. She saw the stern look the girl wore, but she wasn't aware that she had done anything wrong]

There are a lot of dangers in these woods?

To think these men are as blind as to ignore a beautiful woman without a ring.

[Eleuseus comments as he leans against a column, long ears poking out of his mess of black hair]

[escapedprincess]

[She smiles, definitely liking the sound of that]

I have thought the people of this world were strange to do something like that.

[themasterstools]

Or perhaps they're too intimidated to approach. Would you care to dance?

[escapedprincess]

I would hope that they aren't. I try not to be. Yes, I would love to dance.

[She offers him her hand] So who do I have the pleasure of dancing with?

[themasterstools]

Eleuseus, Magistrate of Rome, and you, Miss?

[He takes the hand, lightly pressing his lip to it before lifting his head up to meet her eyes]

[escapedprincess]

Koriand'r, courtier for the Nameless States.

[She smiles, giving him curtsey after introducing herself]

[themasterstools]

[He bows, and leads her to the dance floor]

Koriand'r.

[Eleuseus repeats the name, as the orchestra strikes up a waltz]

If they keep sending courtiers of your beauty, the States might have an unfair advantage in Court.

[He chuckles]

How do you find the Imperial City so far?

[escapedprincess]

[She gracefully follows him out onto the dance floor]

You flatter me, Sir. And thank you.

I am enjoying it very much. It's nice here from what I have seen so far. You have been here often?
