"Just trying to pass the time," Liala says. "I guess I talk too much when I get nervous. Sorry."
"Very funny," Panola says sharply. She then lapses into silence, clearly annoyed.

"Very funny," Panola says sharply. She then lapses into silence, clearly annoyed. "Are you all right?" Lillian asks. "I meant not to offend."

"No, there is no need to apologize," Ladonna says. "It is just, out of everyone here, I thought you knew that I'm not exactly thrilled with this idea," she admits. "He is a nice enough man, but I think I would be more willing to marry Norris than him," she admits. "

"Not in your wildest dreams," Norris remarks dryly.
"I would be pretty excited if I were in your shoes," Liala comments. "Ser Relken is kind, handsome and a good man, as far as I can tell."
"I was only trying to get to know you, that's all," Panola tells Lillian. "You're something of a mystery to the court."

"Oh, trust me. I like it that way," Lillian remarks.

Ladonna laughs at Norris' response. "My point being was that he seems about as interested in marriage as I am, so hypothetically, if it were to happen, we would probably keep to ourselves without worrying about playing the role of husband and wife," she explains.

"And you think Ser Relken would be a bad match...because he actually wants to marry you?" Liala asks Ladonna, trying to follow the logic. "You may not for much longer at this rate," Panola replies to Lillian. "When people are mysteries, the court has a way of digging as far down as they must to find the truth. And if they don't find it, rumors and hearsay will take its place. Already, more than a few courtiers have speculated that there is a reason so much about you is unknown. That you have something to hide. Some even wonder if you are a Ruaran spy. These are the sorts of rumors that can destroy a person's reputation, even if they aren't true."

"Hmm. Perhaps I don't like it that way," Lillian remarks.

"Hmm, not exactly," Ladonna says. "I've grown accustomed to a certain amount of freedom, and once I get married, that will be gone. And then children..." Ladonna wrinkles her nose at the thought.

"I don't see how marriage will change your freedom any," Liala says. "Do you think Ser Relken is going to lock you up in a tower or something?"
"It's always better to be in control of your own narrative, or others will control it for you," Panola adds. "Especially for our kind."

"I just think he will be...attentive," Ladonna says.

"Perhaps you are right, then," Lillian says. "Very well. What do you wish to know?"

Liala suddenly bursts out in laughter. "Oh, sorry," she says when she calms down a bit. "It's just...not being attentive enough is one of the biggest problems I had with all my boyfriends back in Buho. Most guys only want one thing and otherwise act like you don't exist. At least, in my experience."
"Let's start with something simple," Panola says. "Where are you from? Who are your parents?"

"As previously mentioned, I don't know myself," Lillian explains. "I was dumped in the woods somewhere, when I was merely a few days old."

"Yes, I realize I'm strange," Ladonna says as she watches Liala's reaction. "Relken is a good choice in a husband, and I'm probably the only woman that just doesn't want it."
