"Your trust honors us, your highness." Esther acquiesces, ducking forward from the shadier part of the room she'd kept to with the first sound she'd made since her crisp introduction to the rest out in the dark of that piece of forest that met the wall. The darkness of her pupils glitter in the golden light of the room, watching with interest as the man she had presumed was loyal to the princess demonstrates the extent of that same dutifulness.
Nothing more than a favor was this?
Perhaps a debt now repaid?
The allegiance of his heart lies elsewhere.
It was a hook. A delicious piece of the puzzle that added a sense of zest to the mundane path of chivalrous servitude it appeared she would be walking. It had not been something the Draculus had been expecting at all. The draw of it catches her fickle interest in a trap. Even as her pulseless heart excites at the casual drawing of mouthwateringly warm lifesblood, both by the curious instrument and by the even more curious Aerouant girl, Esther smiles genuinely.
I wonder if we will have to kill him later...
The journey here had been a marvelous game of keeping much to herself and observing. The stabbing hate towards the Nephilim had been kept well in check by the sheer amusing variety of of compatriots soon to play with, even if his boil of a presence still itched her when her attention slipped by him on the way to something more interesting. They were from all walks of life, all manner of people, a tapestry of temperaments and little individualities.
It was easy to keep back and silent, to let the wave of the moment and the small crowd carry her onward and away to her eventual waiting radiance.
For all intents and purposes, the ethereal hand of the Goddess herself might as well have been gilding the tunnel that had brought them here. She had walked it serenely, not exactly aloof, but quiet in the way an old gravestone sits in the shade of a blooming apple tree.
And Esther knew well how to keep quiet.
The molten blade understands well the mallet that beats it into shape.
O Vanhela, beautiful and kind, your faithful daughter has found an end to the solemnity of her vigil.
"Such trust must be repaid in kind," the draculus continues, the curious shiver of feeling, of life, in her breast driving her into a countenance a little more animated than before, "and willing to see that it remains unbroken I be. What you have decided in terms of separating this charming coterie will be... fascinating."
