::Shea stood at the front door of that castle, again she had come to that side of town for some peace of mind. But sitting in the woods had brought her to the realization that she might need to go and make and apology to the Count for Assadars rudeness eves ago. Shea's back ground was telling her that even though it may not have been her place to do so, she had not been rude or had not had the intent of being so. But she would rather clear the air than have any enemies especially ones like the Count and his wife. So now Shea stood in the cold morning wind dark green cloaks hood pulled over her fair face gloved hand knocked thrice on the door before her, now all she had to do was wait..Jade hues kept locked on those doors. Hoping this was not some grand mistake.::

::Shea lowered that dark green hood to allow those dark blue locks to sweep her faceface before tucking them back behind her Elven ears:: Good morn, to you My lady :: Shea replied with a bow of her head, she was a guest here and her court up brining was kicking in to high gear, polite was Sheas second nature.::


I have business with The Count :: Shea had no appointment, and had not mentioned her coming to anyone it was more of spur of the moment. But even though it was more a spur of the moment thing Shea knew now that she had made the right choice in coming here on behalf of her 'friend.' Those jade hues looked to the woman before her.:: I do hope I am not intruding My lady I have no appointment with M'Lord Longden :: Shea would admit to the woman standing on the other side of the door, those jade hues never looked away for a moment,ready to answer what questions may come next::

:; First her ears perked hearing the voice, those jade hues shifted to behind the woman who had answered the door. Those hues rested on the Count as he spoke. Silent just looking on. Waiting to be invited in.::

::Shea walked in slowly those jade eyes taking in the room with a smile:; Thank you..Aye Winter has its fine grip on Rhydin it seems.. :: jade hues swept back to him:: breakfast..sounds very good :: Shea nodded:: of coarse M'lord I will join you.

::She followed along stopping as he did, jade hues were sweeping the surround again taking in this castle different from those she was used to. Her eyes again swept back to him so not to seem rude:: Aye My Lord it as a few eves ago at the inn. Yes, Shea GreenStone.

::Shea wore that dark green cloak over her shoulders that hid most of her body under it, save for those black boots that rested on the floor.That cloak kept out the cold. Her hues swept him softly, expecting a count to be dressed in such clothing,dark..well taliored.She nodded softly:: Thank you for welcoming me.

::That soft smile touched her cheeks as those gloved hands rose to push back those strands of dark blue, always falling to their perch behind her ears again:: Tis a lovely Castle you have here. :: said with an upbeat tone to her voice Shea knew Castles knew them well. Ones that impressed her were rare..::

::Shea crossed in to the room, the morning light bathed her face in its glow, catching those dark blue locks and making them shine. The view was emmence.It took her breath away. Shea moved towards that chair slowly slipping her cloak off her slender shoulders to drape the back of that chair that had been offered to her. ::

::Shea was dressed in her classic fashion: black pants long and form fitted, with that calen mithral belt placed low upon her hips, weapons as always present at both sides of that belt. One sword at the left tightly sheathed. A sword and dagger at the right, also tightly sheathed. Her top was a soft plum color with long sleeves and a swooping neckline, to reveal those two necklaces that hung about her neck. Those long softly wavy locks of blue fell long past over her shoulders now as she sat down. Those jade colored hues looked to the coffee. She had been in Rhydin for a long time now and never had coffee.:: " I think i should just like some tea, if it is not to much trouble...any kind will suit me fine. "


:Shea smiled glancing out the window, then down to the bowls of berries.Then up to the Count again:: "Aye it is a lovely way to start a new day, the view here is amazing...reminds me some of home,looking out to see the ocean". ::Shea missed home that was evedent everytime she talked about it.She slowly pulled off those black gloves she wore and tucked them away back in to her cloak::

::.Her fingers idly graced the shortest of those two necklaces that she wore. Her fingers slid over that gem that hung there from a mastery in jewelry long slender line of what looked like a silver chain.. (Which was mithral) from which hung that blue green gem that glittered in the morning light. It hung from the chain soft whips of that same silver wrapped about the gem, looking as wind would if it had solid shape. Her bare fingertips rested then on the table top upon that fine white linen. A smile played across her fair features.:: "How is Miss Tara?" ::Shea had not seen the countess in a while::

::Shea nodded to the servant with thanks.Her eyes rested upon the count:: "I am glad to hear she is well." ::referring to Tara. As she lifted that tea cup up in to her fingers and blew across it, the tea seemed to cool as if touched softly by a cooler breeze.::

:: Shea took a slow sip then lowered the cup hearing him ask why she had come right down to business,twas usually that way,as of late as of always with Shea:: "My visit this morn, is to apologies for my friends..and I use that term very very. loosely." :: Shea smirked thinking of how she had treated Assadar one night later, making sure he'd watch his step: "His rudeness that night at the inn towards you and myself in part was uncalled for and unjust..." :: Another slow sip of tea, as she savored it, both the flavor and the warmth of the cup against her bare fingers.::

"Assadar is new in town and his nature seems to be one of rudeness. His search for miss Storm noble no doubt but still I came here to apologies for him, and for myself as well. It was not my intent to be rude to you My Lord Longden. I would not wish to make any enemies of those with power in Rhydin.Such as yourself, so I thought it best I come and speak with you personally so that all would be well." :: She smiled softly as that cup left her fingers and floated down tot he table, something Shea did often, not because she was lazy but because she could, the benefits of being a Wind Mage.::

:: soon after her hand slipped from his back to the table Shea took that fork in hand to take soft little bite of the food, it had been days since she'd sat down to eat, or eaten much at all for that matter. The sweet smell of the cinnamon buns floated to her and she took it in with a smile.:: " Trust me My Lord I was not amused either. Special interest? " ::Shea almost laughed at that.:: "Hardly that, I understand his wanting to help, and his need for his peoples safety. But I trust you I've warmed him to watch his step. Persistent indeed that he is." :: Annoying, was the word. Shea had never met a high elf like Assadar;perhaps his name suited him she smirked softly, taking a slow bite of that cinnamon bun, it was very good sweet and warm. Shea had never tried anything like it before. So Pleasing to her senses.::

:: She softly tucked those ever falling strands of dark blue behind her Elven ears and nodded to him: did he say extremely attractive? A soft blush touched her fair cheeks:: "Curious is not a bad thing, and I was well aware of why you came to speak with me." ::jade hues glanced up to him,what woman wouldnt find him attractive, even someone blind could..:: " Elven eyes see much.And now you know who I am..and I have gotten to enjoy a fine breakfast and your company as well " .::sure there was all those long most likely boring stories she had to tell,about ehr homelands and who she was what she did... her mind was a muttled mess as of late.::

:: a soft smile graced her features as jade hues looked across the table:: " There is nothing to forgive, and than you for the complement," :: she took another slow bite of food then a sip of tea, glancing out the window. Letting the sun light filter in to her eyes and over her face, trying to hide the fact that that blush had deepened just slightly::

::shea coudlnt help but giggle :: "Invoved with..." : nearly full giggle now as she regained her composure:: " I told him I'd help him out, but to watch his step too..he may be annoying but he has his heart in the right place.Hes not a friend but hes not a foe either. I hardly need protection my lord...least of all from Assadar.":Shea could hold her own,against most, mortal and not so mortal alike. That showed in those deep jade hues that had those soft swirls of blue in them, in the light those soft halos of silver around the outter edge of the jade color was seen,ages upon ages of wisdom for one so young::

::a soft shrug sent those dark blue locks fell across her cheeks as they often did, her ears perked a moment looking to him then out the window,some part of her caught the fact that he was talkking about her and not the view.. but with that lovely smile shespoke:; " yes its lovely out there.."

::shea took a another slow sip of tea, and nodded:: " I would like that, a walk sounds very nice." :: winter or not Shea didnt mind the cold,she'd sent how many days on those very shores wondering about in the snow in the cold waves Shea loved being outside, in the open air it was after all her element.::

::Shea took a soft bite of that sweet bun, and another bite of eggs, with a nod, the scenic view sounded nice. Shea smiled and dabbed at her mouth with that napkin. But in the end she ended up licking off what ever part of that sweet sugary substance that lie there, the questions came as no surprise, not even the last one. Shea had nothing to hide about who she was or where she came from or even her current relationship standings..:: " My home lies to the far North of Rhydin well hidden, beyond the mountains and woodlands. The Elven lands are my home lands. But my home is in Greenstone which is at the far north of those lands, at the castle and keep where my eldest sister now rules." ::a sip of tea as as she remembered home not as if she could forget it:: " In Rhydin I do many things, serve as a city guard, sword for hire. Lend my hand or blade to friends that may need it. as well as many other missions here and there.."

;Another bite of that sweet bun, that was almost gone.:: " At home I am high knight of the castle and keep of GreenStone, A Ranger and both at Home or Rhydin I am an Elemental Mage." :: Hence all the magic about her, that ever present glow, of magic, in her eyes and all about her.:: " And no husband, not here or at home. As far as serious relationships..."

::her fingers graced that medallions chain that other necklace that hung from her neck inches below her necklace from her homelands. It was a simple medallion that she had been given, a fired earth circle, with a hollow center, fine gold wrapped from the center to the edges forming eight spokes around the wheel. It was simple yet it looked very good on her hanging low in to that neckline:: " I do not know what it is that I would call it... perhaps not serious as I once hoped..." :: her words trailed off as those hues gazed out the window and her hand lowered to her lap once more...:: " The only man in my life is my son." ::That would surely bring more questions. Shea enjoyed talking about her home and what she did. It was the matter of the owner of that medallion that troubled her and it could been seen; that slight tinge of sadness in her jade hues as the light hit them::

::Shea nodded:; Thank you ::after the lovely walk around and all the sights she too had things to do, she would delcine the coach ride. Some where in the woods her mare was waiting she would bid the count and castle farewell and slip off in to the winds. So much to do::
