Thread: Chains of Gossamer ~ Ashiaka & AlureNova

Kira was flustered but she certainly wasn't stupid and the insinuation that she wasn't as intelligent as she first appeared irritated her. She began to think the woman holding her captive was doing that on purpose though and so she tried to remain more calm than she would have liked, gritting her teeth and growling ferociously instead of retorting back. She did however notice that the woman said as intelligent as she looked, implying that Kira gave off some sort of aura that hinted towards her mental capacity. It wasn't important but it did make her wonder just how much of her the sorceress could see at a glance, certainly more than a normal person would have been able to. Her curiosity was diminished when a particular grin caught her attention, a shiver running up her spine as her own level of insight caught a less than savory hint within the look, nervousness enveloping her as she considered the desire behind that look. Besides, the woman was right about one thing, she was in no position to comment on etiquette, in fact she was in no position to do much of anything, even ask questions that struck her. So she just swallowed hard and waited to be informed on the questions she had, hoping that by the time she figured out certain answers it wasn't too late. Of course she wasn't left completely out in the dark, she was given a name and a very beautiful one at that, Seraphina, it was gorgeous and like the rest of her was a bit mystical in nature and she had a feeling it would be sweet to the tongue, though she refused to use it aloud, at least not at that moment. She instead gave it a snark turn of the nose just to piss the woman off, not something so aggressive it could come back to bite her in the ass but just enough to irk the woman as she seemed to be trying to do to Kira. If not for the questions and conversation, if the exchange between the two could be considered actual conversation, she would have been much more nervous about her destination. She was using the thought and talk to keep her mind off things and when she was asked her last name that helped to quell her nerves as they entered inside the castle. She was hesitant to answer, however she soon buckled and spoke, hoping it wouldn't be recognized by the sorceress as the daughter of a noble in her kingdom, not a wealthy one, in fact they were quite poor, but the name had value. Kira Vivaldi. She took a deep breath, waiting to see if the woman knew the family name or not. She wasn't sure what that would change, it shouldn't change anything really, but to some people the name meant more than money and itself could fetch a high price, especially among certain unyielding circles. Of course there was a large chance the woman wouldn't know but it was still a concern of hers. More than anything she was worried about what would happen to her inside the castle, nothing had happened so far as it seemed Seraphina knew her way around and nobody dared stop her. It was comforting in one regard but dangerous in the other, the idea that the woman who had found fit to save her life and thus claim it was truly powerful enough to stroll into a king's castle without giving a damn. Not only that she was getting bows and frightful looks, people seemed more respectful to her than she had seen any man be to a woman when sex wasn't involved. It was making her even more nervous but she tried to keep her calm, walking behind the woman and looking around as they went, taking note of how extravegant the decorated halls were, it seemed they truly had it all, quick advancement and riches beyond measure. Why did you save me, what do you have planned? She finally asked, hoping it wasn't horrible and wanting answers before she was taken by surprise.
