ooc: My sincerest apology for the ridiculous delay in this.
Suffice to say Archalen was a bit confused for all this. All this over a simple ring? He looked towards it now, his eyes falling over it and absorbing it. He knew there were magical trinkets and rings alike, could this be one? He didn't know and the young Esh'lahier didn't quite know what to make of this sitatuion. He turned to the shadow kin across from him and asked with a raised brow; "I hope there is no cause for.....concern here?" After the query the Thane simply laid his hands in his lap and clasped them.
"My mother, in the letter she sent me those eras ago....mentioned the possibility, saying my father did indeed have kids prior. Although, I know not whether...any are alive today." This amount of personal information made Archalen quite suspicious and he wished to return to the original reason of the visit, the ring.
"As I said, your Excellency, this ring...cannot be yours." Archalen gestured to the ring. "Look there, on the inside of the ring near the rear of the band. There lies an "A", which is from the name of my father. I learned such as my mother wrote me."
He let the Governor inspect the ring to its fulliest. The "A" there was so tiny that if one was not told of its prescence there it might be rather easy to overlook it. Of course, if the full history of the ring was disclosed (of which Archalen had no knowledge of) it could be said the A was for Andares instead. Either way there was no mistaking the front of the ring did indeed have the same crest as the banner that hung nearby. It was only on thinking of this, his history, the race and age of the Governor sitting across, and the flurry of questions that Archalen realized this and finally pieced together what perhaps this all meant. Color, of what little was their naturally drained from his face and his mouth dropped in quiet confusion and disbelief. It couldn't be, or could it?
