Thread: Married For An Alliance  (me and darkest_fate

It took most of Eleanor's strength not to let out a long sigh as once again Solange's word choice and past actions pointed out how different they truly were. She let the point go as she didn't want to let the demon use that to twist her words into more lewd and vague suggestions. Plus she had hammered in that point enough tonight though she assumed it wouldn't be the last time she would have to drive that point in her wife's head. she did have every intention of making this marriage last as for it was what was best for her people. Elanor's eyes widened as they finally made it to their destination and she did feel a bit more at home surrounded by the plants even if the initial ones were not what she was use to. Blood.....I hope that's a rumor and a rumor only. She commented not wanting this place to be tainted with the blood of demon's or most likely other races. Though her word choice made her assume the second as Eleanor wasn't stupid nor naive and she knew those visitors were mostly likely here against their will. She tired to shake the thought from her head for the moment. The gardens back home were always a place of peace and quiet and where she did most of her leisurely reading and other arts. She looked around being a bit silent as she took in the view. She refocused on Solange as she heard her answer her question about what her duties were, the answer didn't exactly surprise her. It did help her see why she didn't see these things as important as her parents had never enforced it or made them seem important. Elanor's parents made her realize the importance of all meetings and parties from an early age once she was able to join and hold a conversation. She did remember hating the first few ones before the lesson had sunk in and she was still a young girl. Yes they will, I fully intend to take them seriously and you won't be able to run off and not be bored. Eleanor said a bit of a smile on her face as she would be the one that forced her to fully endure all the formalities she had been dodging for a while. She shuddered a little as she felt Solange's tail creeping under dress sizing up her form she placed a hand on top of her tail through her dress shooting her wife a quick glare. The two weren't alone and even then she wasn't a big fan of public affection especially something like that. She took the lead as they explored the gardens passing a few guest on their way stopping once she found the section that visitors from her land had made. She sat on a near by fence a slight smile on her lips as it reminded her of home, though the arrangement of the plants was unique. she didn't the message of fear and torture but the flowers and other plants weren't as elegant as they normally were. Which just further confirmed her theory about them not wanting to be her. She picked a few flowers and held them in her hand smelling them a bit helping to ease and and the same time deepen her feeling of being homesick already. Thank you for showing me the gardens Solange. We can head back to the party if you wish or retire for the night. Eleanor said a slight yawn in her voice. Though she hadn't done much today was rather emotionally draining on her and she was ready to retire for the night despite know what implications that meant for the two of them.
