She worried for her brother more than perhaps she should, considering that she was so much younger than him, but that was how it was. Still, it was typical of Epic that he was in love so completely with the Empress of all people
The Empress. Could you perhaps have made a more awkward choice of person to fall in love with? she asked, the softness of her grey eyes cushioning the words Will you be wed? Is she free to marry, even, and what are the consequences if she does? She looked at him with a million more questions, but decided that those ones would do for the moment.
He moved on to his daughter then, and was about to continue to speak when Roland came over. Jaki stood, as he moved over and she smiled at him in greeting. You are too kind, Roland. In truth, I have committed no action to prove my worth to you, or the truth of my words. Words in and of themselves are easy enough, are they not? she nodded as Epic invited him to sit with them of course, it would be most pleasant if you could join us. Will you?
She sat back down then, and as she did she glanced at Epic and smiled gently. Her eyes no longer looked soft, but rather teasing as she said, sounding completely and utterly serious Girl? .
