Characters:RavenLogs/AX Wizard

As Raven leaves Gerard’s room, Brita is just finishing up consulting with a page. She turns and smiles at Raven and says, “The King will be on the Main Balcony. We can Go to Meet Him There.” She proceeds to lead the way, moving quickly through the maze of the palace and coming to a large open room. The sound of the waterfall comes loud from the wide open balcony through an archway near the end of the room.

Raven nods and says simply, "Aye, ma'am." She trails along behind Brita the whole way, looking around and considering whether there's any way to have the conversation she needs to have with her mother without it turning into an all-out row. She figures the answer is no, and furthermore that she isn't sure she'll get anywhere, long before they reach their destination.

The balcony is wide, and Brita and Raven pass a man leaving the King's presence. He is richly dressed and has a pinched look to his face. He doesn't seem to be a happy man.

The King is on the far end of the balcony, lying on the railing. One arm trails over the side and dangles many hundreds of feet above the lagoon below.

Random neither stands nor looks up. "Hello, Brita, what's up?"

Brita bows formally, but her words are less so. "Uncle-Liege, I bring Cousin-Captain Raven to Meet You. He has been Lost Asea." She turns and waves Raven forward.

Raven salutes sharply and says, "Your Majesty."

And if she's mentally thrown up her hands, seeing as how it's difficult to argue with people you're not supposed to argue with over something you don't actually know the truth of one way or another, and is just kind of going along with it at this point for lack of anything else sensible to do - well, it at least doesn't show in her expression.
