" it's  ghastly ,  isn't  it ? "  the  princess  speaks  out  at  the  footsteps  that  she  knows  belongs  to  her  younger  sister .  the  eldest  gazes  up  at  the  painting  in  the  shared  quarters  that  had  been  afforded  to  them  in  the  sitting  room .  it  is  displayed  over  the  small  fireplace  and  she  cannot  say  for  certain  what  part  of  history  it  is  trying  to  represent .  " i  meant  really ,  do  the  fae  not  have  artists  of  renown  like  we  do ?  the  color  scheme ,  the  brushstrokes ,  and  what  part  of  their  history  even  is  this ?  i  cannot  say  i  understand . "  valeria  shakes  her  head  as  she  turns  towards  the  other ,  " i  see  you  have  returned  from  your  adventures  through  the  castle ,  do  they  still  watch  you  like  you  are  some  kind  of  animal  to  be  displayed ?  when  i  am  out  there ,  i  have  to  remind  myself  that  poking  their  eyes  out  with  my  nails  would  not  be  the  most  diplomatic  of  things  to  do .

to  say  he  was  less  than  impressed  with  the  castle  itself  and  the  denizens  inside  of  it  was  largely  an  understatement .  in  all  that  he  had  heard  of  the  fae ,  their  use  of  magic  was  something  exceptional .  being  able  to  control  various  elements  and  their  more  rare  affinities  and  he  had  expected  more .  ronan  had  expected  them  to  be  able  to  handle  a  threat ,  even  an  unknown  one .  yet  they  were  entirely  clueless  and  in  more  danger  until  their  arrival .  such  as  what  was  happening  here  would  not  be  allowed  within  the  walls  of  the  blood  queen's  palace ,  no  not  at  all .  his  pace  is  lazy ,  slowed  as  he  strides  throughout  the  halls ,  passing  by  fae  and  vampires  alike  who  stand  mostly  at  a  distance  to  one  another .  he  does  not  blame  the  fae ,  but  they  cannot  stay  apart  for  long ,  especially  if  they  are  to  find  their  rebels .  " so  they  have  gathered  for  some  kind  of  competition ,  is  that  right ? "  he  asks  out  loud  and  if  it  draws  another  in  conversation  then  so  be  it .

there  had  been  a  million  and  one  questions  asked  when  the  disappearances  had  occurred  and  then  the  bodies  that  had  begun  to  be  found .  a  lack  of  blood  in  their  bodies ,  something  of  which  they  would  learn  was  because  of  vampires .  along  with  the  other  high  healers ,  jesinia  had  been  allowed  a  moment  to  investigate  the  body  to  understand  what  they  were  up  against .  nothing  would  bring  them  back  once  emptied  of  their  blood .  it  was  a  ghastly  thing  to  see ,  the  pale  hollowed  out  body  of  a  once  vibrant  fae  a  shock  to  them  all .  jesinia  turns  as  another  steps  up  to  the  railing  and  immediately  she  finds  the  need  to  speak .  " if  you're  going  to  ask  if  healing  magic  can  bring  back  blood ,  it  cannot .  when  one  has  lost  a  lot  of  blood  and  if  they  are  still  alive ,  then  it  simply  can  help  to  speed  up  a  body's  innate  healing . "  her  fingers  drum  against  the  stone  in  front  of  her ,  but  then  she  sees  it  is  not  another  one  of  the  healers .  " my  apologies ...  i  thought  you  were  one  the  assistant  healers .  you  likely  did  not  want  to  know  such  things .

players: ursula praxadas & shayre dragomir || @evrflamcs place: hallway near ursula’s office time: after the letter went out 

Going as far as accusing a vampire from lurking would be a considerable faux paus, considering how they were guests of the Queen and attempting to accuse them of any impropriety would only add fuel to the fire that is the quiet tension blanketing the court. For all she knows, these creatures of the night are merely fond of lurking, and she just happens to cross them in the most lurking of times for their kind. It is, after all, far after sunset. She should have returned to her quarters far earlier, but she had been sidetracked working on a map of disappearances. Which had led her to walking through the mostly silent halls at an ungodly hour. 

“Good evening,” she calls out at the vampire, offering her a respectful courtesy worthy of a foreign dignitary as they cross paths, her steps slowing down until they stop. Ursula believes that the woman before her is one of the princesses’, but she has yet to be properly introduced so she cannot be entirely sure. “Are you in need of any aid? The castle can be a maze for those who have not grown in its halls, and if you find yourself lost, I am more than happy to point you in the right direction.”

players: violante & zander vorros || @evrflamcs place: the castle’s library, aureth  time: after the letter went out 

Violante is still rather baffled at the existence of vampires, and perhaps a little offended that the Royal Library of Eryndor seemed to hold nothing on them. Or at least nothing she had come across so far, but she has been steadily making her way through all the different sections of the library so she would likely recall if there was any mention of vampires beyond the vague allusions found in legends. It is clear it has been a rather long time since their kind had stepped in Aethara, but the lack of records still disturbs her. Something must have been written down somewhere, she thinks. It’s such a thought that finds her buried in books at ungodly hours, trying to find any mention of vampires within Aureth’s Royal Library. They only have a finite number of days in the city, after all, and there is a rather huge number of books still left unread. So focused she is on her task, that she does not notice her son approaching until he clears his throat right next to the table she has claimed for herself. 

Blinking rapidly, she looks away from the pages, finally noticing how the day has turned into night, as well as the frown on Zander’s face. 

“Hello, dearest,” she greets with a soft smile, pointedly not acknowledging neither the late hour nor his frown. Guards remain at the doors of the library, so she has been rather protected, all things considered.

research  or  better  called  snooping  was  something  that  was  a  hobby  and  a  requirement  for  the  spymaster .  with  the  vampires  as  their  guest s,  morana  had  become  desperate  to  listen  to  every  whisper ,  to  task  her  spies  with  finding  out  everything  they  could  about  them .  the  secrets  that  they  kept  buried  under  pleasant  talk  and  flowered  words  of  their  history .  she  had  been  curious ,  if  her  affinity  could  be  used  on  the  vampires  but  it  seemed  not  even  they  were  free  from  her  knowing  if  they  were  truthful  or  not .  making  her  rounds  about  the  castle,  the  royal  library  had  become  her  latest  stop .  fae  and  vampire  alike  were  in  the  corners  and  tables  trying  to  piece  together  history  of  the  other  and  she  sees  a  person  looking  with  rushed  intent  through  the  bookshelves .  while  she  was  not  the  head  scholar,  she  was  familiar  with  them  shelves  around  them .  " are  you  looking  for  something  specific ?  i  may  be  able  to  assist .

the  great  hall  was  usually  bustling  but  it  appeared  even  more  so  with  the  added  guests  within ,  intermingling  amongst  the  fae  of  aethara .  the  princess  was  amongst  them  as  well,  but  he  was  watching  from  a  distance  at  this  time  and  she  was  safe  with  other  guards  also  within  the  room  keeping  a  strong  eye  on  their  guests .  the  tideborn  did  not  know  what  to  make  of  them  and  their  presence  but  he  wasn't  about  let  them  be  unguarded  around  them ,  lest  these  vampires  try  to  become  the  end  of  their  kind  entirely .  the  guard  straightens  a  bit  as  the  presence  of  the  royal ,  his  charge's  sibling  approaching  them .  " your  highness .  i  am  happy  to  see  you  well . "  he  nods  his  head  in  acknowledgement ,  " is  there  anything  i  can  do  for  you ? "

The vampires didn't scare her, in all honesty, in many ways it being a new thing that intrigued her to no end. "I wonder what they're like," she said as she looked out at the gardens. "How do I even greet a vampire without being rude?" she continued to monologue, unaware of his father's presence
