His garmets flowed effortlessly as he moved, they seemed to all fit each in their own proper place. From the royal blue tunic, black trousers, fur-lined boots and warm fur lined cloak affixed over his shoulders. If she had not been accustomed to the cold, she would have been shivering at this point. But not even her short hemmed dress, that lacked arms and a semi-deep neck-line caused her issue. In fact, this winter was a blessing to her. For the warm halls and hot days of summer surely were soon upon them and that is when he issues would start if she couldnt find her way around it. His grace offered her a warm drink, warm. Apparently the people of this land, rather enjoyed the heat of things which Periwinkle really didnt understand. She stood there, pale skinned and white haired with ice blue eyes beneath a semi blue and white dress and took the goblet from the King. One never refused the King, this was something she already knew of since living in the land with Lord Malori.
"Thank you, your Majesty."
Peri was on the verge of tears, she was shaking slight but not from the cold nor from fear really. It was more so from all the unexpected happenings to her in such a short time. She was frightened. The King probably could see her shaky hand, more so in the vibrations the wine had rippling through its surface as she tried to steady the cup with both hands. The Fae took a deep breath, and used her frosting ability to the best she could with how damaged it was here to cover the cup in frost and effectively taking the cool wine and making it cold again. Then, and only then did she take a small sip having never had alcohol before in any form she was wary, but polite. With a partial smile, and a deep swallow she spoke again.
"Your Grace, forgive me. My.. my name is Peri... Periwinkle, I am very new to.. to your lands. It was but only yesterday that I awoke on the shores outside your great castle, like... this. I am mi...mi..missing my wings, my frosting capabilities have been very limited and I have n..n..n..no idea why i am as big as an ordinary human. I.. f..found myself wandering through a small area.. of...of what i presume to be your land, um theres a waterfall and semi shallow pool it.. it falls into and then.. then it breaks off into three small.. or sorta small branches of creeks? Rivers? Im not very.. very good with running waters. Lots of flowers, plants, trees around to hide amongst and some sorta stone circle thingy too. Its umm.. its maybe a few hours walk from here? But.. sorry, rambling. Ok well see i was kinda hoping I may have that spot, to call my home. I.. i could eventually welcome others to it. When like when others wash up on shore like me, or um need a place to hide."
Rambling. Yes, thats exactly what she did while trying not to stutter. She didnt stutter! What has gotten into you? She squeezed her eyes tightly closed, took a deep breath an let it out before looking back at her King with wet cheeks. It seems after all those tears were meant to fall.
