I'm Sailing Away { NO LONGER ACCEPTING }

the queen looked over smiling faintly at Kyla in order to save Odhran from another question she responded instead. "I thought I was sick so I fled the room so no one would see but Alessandre confirmed I wasn't sick but instead I am with child!" She giggled in delight feeling her young age instead of how she was mentally older. The beautiful blonde queen smiled lovingly at Kyla "you can't tell anyone yet though." We will after the dance.

"There is a time for mourning, right?" she offered, with a kind smile. "But now is the time for joy, so let's go make someone feel good. Even if it's just ourselves. You don't have to forget, you just have to know that the past can't be changed and the best thing to do is to embrace it." She began to move towards the doors, watching Nikolai as she did so, wondering if he had seen her kiss Wellbe. It was only a little thing, in some kingdoms that was a greeting, but she knew that if he had seen, he wouldn't be happy. She grew indignant at the thought that he would be angry about that. I'm my own woman, and I can kiss whom I want, she thought giving him a little glare.

"No that's alright, I'll wait here," Aedan said, standing behind his chair as he watched Kyla go over to the Governor and the Queen and talk with them. The way she was talking was very familiar, like she knew them well. She lives here dummy, of course she knows them well, he scolded himself. Still he watched the interaction, making careful note of her mannerisms and how she moved. Truly she was a most amazing lady, he just couldn't bring himself to tell her that. I'll have tonight to remember when we go home at least, he thought with a little sigh, watching people file into the dancing hall.

"We may dance as much as you like, my love," he said with a broad smile, watching his sister come over to inquire about where they had been. "I think perhaps a few sharp witted individuals might have figured it out already, Tsura," he said with a little smile gesturing towards Adela and Wellbe. "I can't say I'm surprised, we didn't exactly hide our elation as we returned to the dining hall. But then how could we?" He leaned down and left a little kiss on Tsura's cheek. He knew Wellbe was clever enough to figure this sort of thing out, and now he knew that the Captain was another mental force to be reckoned with.

"Oh I don't know, shouldn't we wait for the Queen and the Governor to come and dance first?" she said apprehensively. "At least that's how it worked at home. The hosts would dance first, then everyone would join them." She paused for a few moments, realizing that she was doing a lot of comparing tonight, and that things in this court would be very different from the one at home. "I suppose I should stop comparing the two huh?" she said with an awkward smile. "Sorry, that's probably getting annoying huh?" The last thing Alessandra wanted was to be annoying or awkward tonight. She had wanted to be as radiant as the sun, but as it was she would settle for simply pretty.

"Exactly," Mordred replied, his gaze following Baliss' until he caught a glimpse of the Nagas. He looked up at Baliss, giving him a look. "Best behavior, understand? Even if they provoke something, we're on our best behavior." Mordred was nervous and understandably so. Tonight might possibly be the culmination of his life's pursuit.

Nikolai had caught the kiss that passed from Adela to Wellbe and felt his heart clench. He sighed and closed his eyes, shaking his head slightly before he looked away. In his mind, Adela had made her choice and the glare she sent his way only confirmed it. She was still upset and frightened of him; that wasn't going to change any time soon. Oh well, there was nothing to be done about it now. She made her choice and he made his choice to move on. It was what he always did in situations like these; dwelling in the past is what kept you bound from the future anyway.

Sozin chuckled as he shook his head, "No no, it's fine. You are actually right though. Odhran and Tsura are supposed to dance first and then whomever wants to can join in." He was silent for a moment before saying softly, "You know, I would like to see what your home is like. I've only ever been here in the capital and the lands of our people. I always wanted to explore and see what the world was like, you know?"

Baliss nodded as he murmured, "Oh believe me, I don't want to attract any attention to myself if I can help it." He cast a glance at the governor and queen as they passed by and made a beeline for the side of the dance hall.

Wellbe stood and thought about what she said for a few seconds. She was right. It had been a long time since he had done something for enjoyment. Looking at Nikolai with an apologetic look, he followed after Adela. He didn't know if he had seen the look, but that was something for a different time. Catching up to Adela, he smiled a small smile at her. "Remember, no negativity." He said, noticing her glare. "We're going to enjoy this night, even if it's only a little.

((You people and your inspirational words... lol))

Tsura blushed at the kisses. "Mmm no. I'm afraid not... We've wanted this for so long..." She looked at Odhran quietly "shall we announce it before or after the dance my love? " She said intertwining their fingers

Kyla

I went to throw my arms up for a hug but stopped myself just in time to disguise it by lifting up Odhran's hands in mine. Wonderul news or not appearances couldn't slide. "That's brilliant," I laughed happily. A smile stretching from ear to ear. "Oh Odhran, Tsura that's wonderful, it's incredible. How do you know?" I wanted to hug my brother so much but you never knew who was watching or what it might do. I was going to be an Aunt! Oh wow that was just... I didn't even know what to say. Though she wouldn't be allowed to call me that. If she called me Aunt Kyla in public when she was still young and didn't know any better things could easily go down hill. My smile never wavered for a moment despite this kind of thinking, I had learnt a long time ago how to hide a negative thought should the need arise.

Adela smiled back at Wellbe, happy that he was cheering her up now too. Things would go well tonight, or so she thought. Moving in to the dancing hall, Adela gave a little smile as she looked around at her new surroundings. The room was beautiful, that much she could not deny. It wasn't quite the same as the dancing hall in Civan, but she knew that it wouldn't be the same. "It's very pretty," she said looking around, the golden light catching in her hair and making some strands look white. "Very golden and light, I'm sure the Queen loves this place."

"It's up to you my love, but I would announce it before," he said, still holding her hand tightly. "It would give our guests a reason for our disappearance. Not that they always require a reason, but it's positive news. It would make a happy night happier." He smiled at Kyla, thinking that she was probably thinking of how her life would change by being an aunt. That train of thought made him think of how his life would change once this baby was born. He would not just be a husband and a Governor, but also a father and a role model. It seemed overwhelming at first, but then his happiness returned.

"Oh my home is very different from Junto, that's why I like Junto," she said with a smile, looking up at Sozin. "It's very ancient, older than anything else I've seen. I traveled before I stopped in Junto and stayed, and I have not known a place like my home before." She nodded her head at Sozin's mention of travelling. "Traveling is a great thing, I think everyone should see some of the world before they choose what they are to do with their life," she said softly, not sure how such thoughts were treated in court. "Where is your homeland?" she inquired, her eyes bright with curiosity.

"Yes, well I figured I'd better mention it again," Mordred said as he followed him to stand up against the wall on the longer side of the dancing hall. People were filing in from another adjoining room, mostly the aristocracy, so he assumed that it was some sort of dining hall on the other side of the wall. "Petty rivalries must be put to rest tonight if we're to accomplish anything. Even if that's simply gathering information." His eyes roved around the room, trying to gauge the atmosphere, how people were feeling that night. There was nervousness in the air, but also happiness and excitement.

[WellbeWelloff]

Wellbe nodded, looking around, before looking at her. The way the light light shone through her hair, made it appear like a soft halo around her. He found it hard to take his eyes off of her, and said softly, "So are you." Fighting hard to keep the red out of his face, he moved his tail out of the way of some passing people. He could almost feel their glances, but he ignored them.

((It's probably a little shorter than it should be, but I'm finding it hard to think of what to put... lol))

[RedLionPaladin]

Nikolai's eyes were never still as he watched the gathering crowd in the dance hall.

Sozin sighed as he smiled and answered, "I'm sure it's nothing like your home. My homeland is a few days' journey from here actually and very diverse. It's quite large, a vast area, that covers forestland and plains for miles around. It is said that the Naga territory is the largest of them all and, quite frankly, I believe it. There are fresh water springs, streams and rivers crisscrossing the whole countryside. It's a lovely place really and, at times, I kind of miss it."

Baliss nodded as he replied, "Oh, you don't have to worry about me stirring up trouble. I would like to get through this night without bloodshed, especially my own."

she nodded taking his advice. Come let's head to the ball room so we may announce the news!" She held his hand tightly obviously nervous
