She stopped but it took her a few moments to wait around. She hadn’t recognized him from the time they had met previously. After all she had only seen his back side. Slowly she turned to face him. Her eyes didn’t gaze around the room instead she just looked at him as he gradually stood up and faced her. Her posture went from tense to quite relaxed as she saw his face. It was Arthur. A soft smile spread across her lips.

It had been a while since she had last spoke to him. When she had first arrived at the island he had been kind enough to take her to the main part of the community. He had ridden up on horseback and at that time Braebuck was still weary of others. Epos had been a little less timid those days. She was still strong natured and independent. Now, she was something else. Something different. Even armed with her memories she still wasn’t the same girl she had arrived as. Whatever problems she had to face she needed to face them soon or she’d end up losing herself along the way. Braebuck was worried about her and took hardly a notice about it. Maybe it was time she did.

“Ok, I guess I’ll stay as long as I’m not a bother.” A smile was still present on her lips, it was soft elegant and quite harmless. She followed his hand which ended at a bench. Still smiling she wandered over to it. Touching the wood she dusted it off. It wasn’t because there was actually dust on it she just felt like doing. Letting the moments linger or something seeing as her nerves were in her throat at the moment. Taking a seat she tilted her head slightly as he said something about old age. She just let a brief giggle escape her throat. It was light and almost nonexistent. She didn’t bother to dig into his words any farther. Even though her curiosity was still there.

“Troubled?” For a moment she felt like she was talking to her mother or father but excused that thought immediately after it was thought. “Yes, perhaps there is a lot on my mind.” She sighed briefly as she looked to the stone floor. Then he mentioned wine she and she nodded lightly. “That would be nice.” It had been a while since she had a taste of wine. Perhaps it would cool her nerves.

Looking around she nodded again. “It seems like it.” Her eyes feel once again on the architecture of the place and she was quite amazing by its beauty. Turning back to him she couldn’t hold her curiosity any longer. “You said something about being old earlier but you don’t look very old to me.” Her phrase was blunt but innocent. She didn’t know anything about him so the curiosity was just interest.

After all he was the Core’s Kaiser and Set-Merut’s Leader. Wouldn’t it be a good thing if she got to know him, even if it was just a little bit?
