Zelda let her eyes slowly drift between the two of them. She wasn’t sure which she should be focusing on. Vort had always been protective, ever since she was little. If it wasn’t Scarlett, her own sister, it was his siblings, he just simply had always been this way. With that in mind she first thought he was here as the young princess of Spirane’s body guard. It would fit him and his personality to see him in such a light as a guard for royalty. Zelda never should assume such things, but it was what came to her mind at the sight of him. It came so natural to her though to huge him. He was a childhood friend after all. While they never were as close as Zelda and Astraea she saw him whenever they met up or when he met up with Scarlett so it felt natural in a way. However what was surprising was his next choice of words.

Being a Queen fit her? She wasn’t sure sure, and her uncertainty probably showed on her face for just a moment. Everyone always said that, that it fit her, that she was doing well. She thought she did better when she had Hyrule. The situation with Aranck had been her first real trial as a ruler, but she knew over time that she would fill the rather large paws that were her grandfather’s and uncle’s. ”Thank you. You look well too, happy to see that the Mountains are treating you well.” She says with a smile. Her tail waved lightly, as Nymeria gives her own words on their greeting. A smile sets on the auburn girl’s maw for a moment looking to her before it was Vort who instead gave their reasoning for coming.

There wasn’t much to negotiate, Zelda thought. Her smile widened as he said that they were here to establish an alliance once again with Spirane. It had been something that Zelda had been wanting to do for sometime yet she was dealing with Iromar and Alistair, her diplomat, was off to Glorall establishing an alliance with them. It had been next on what she wanted to accomplish but it seemed The Mountain Queen had deemed it was time to seen her own diplomat. It was something she didn’t quite expect for Vortigern, but he no less was filling his role in Spirane well. His words elegant but not overbearing enough to feel forceful. She wondered if he had to rehearse this or if it just all came naturally. Did being a leader or falling into a role come that easy? She wondered that for a time eyes wandering to the Princess then, wondering what preparation she or her siblings were going through to eventually take over their mother’s throne. It wasn’t a conversation for now or today. It was something perhaps Zelda would never find out. Still she was happy that they had come to her, it was something she really had been wanting to do.

”I would be very happy to once again re-establish our long lost alliance. Now more than ever my home is needing things to be happy about and fixing this bond would be a step in the right direction. I am not sure what news you wish to hear. Aranck is an enemy to my home now, I actually met with him to discuss his… transgressions against Taviora… He thought my worries and anger were misplaced. Or at least that was how I felt by the end of our conversation together. He had killed my, not even yearling, sister in cold blood. Other than that I have no real news for you currently.” She explained to him, though perhaps that was more than he wanted she wanted to be sure he knew what troubles they were going through. She felt horrible a frown setting on her features. It hurt still to have lost Moteuh, and it only stung more that there was so little she could do to see that wrong righted.

Her teal eyes set upon Nyrmeria as she extended a paw to Zelda for her to visit Daenerys herself soon. ”I would like that, perhaps once this is all over. Much of this calls to my personal attention as well. Please tell your mother that I will visit soon as the situation regarding Aranck is settled and that I adjure her to tread carefully when dealing with Iromar. I would hate for something like that to befall your home as well.” The last part of Nymeria’s words though brought a small smile to her face. She watched how she looked at him and Zelda remembered when she used to shoot such glances at Hyrule. It stung a little to know that he was gone, but she was so happy for Vortigern and the princess too. Perhaps in time Zelda would be the one saying the crown suits him well.

”You may tour the forests as much as you want and are welcome to any time!” She said cheerfully not sounding too formal herself. ”I won’t keep you with my prattling please, make yourselves at home.” She says bowing her head to the pair of them again offering one last soft smile at the both of them.
