Luke keeps his arm around the elf, in a show up support for how difficult this must be for her.

There is a murmur on the other side of the crystal, the queen must be issuing an order. Quickly her voice returns, "You have brought no stain, no dishonor, nothing like that. You have done nothing but brought us happiness, and honor, you have only brought us gain. All of the problems that are occurring are on others, and those others will be dealt with appropriately." Her voice almost immediately becomes calm. "You have done wonderfully. I just want to tell you that I am here for you. Come home when you can and we will talk. Call me whenever you want, I am here for you. With Artherien gone do you want me to send Anglerond?" QUEEN ALURIA of ARBORLON

Key wipes at her eyes and sits up straighter, but doesn’t leave the support Luke has given. She nods, a decision being made in her head.
“Im glad that my actions have brought honor to our house. Yes, please send Anglerond if you can spare him. Could you send some texts on history and politics as well? With Arthurian’s leaving I have also lost my tutor in those areas. Need I come home in order for the annulment to take place?”

There is more murmuring, "Your father says that Anglerond is out of the city at the moment, but he will come to you as soon as he can. However, he is receiving a crystal and you can talk with him and get lessons whenever you want remotely. Also Nesterin says he will help with that as well. Nesterin is very familiar with the politics and the ruling councils." The queen gets quiet for a moment, "I realize you do not like Nesterin, but he will support you and back you. Even if the two of you disagree on specifics." QUEEN ALURIA of ARBORLON

Luke says nothing about Nestrim and the situation at hand. He just sits quietly letting Key and the queen say their piece. As a commoner, with no blood or say in ruling matters, it was best to stay as a quiet support for Key.

Key is quiet for a moment, face growing pensive.
“I understand. Tell them both thank you for me. Is there any way Nestrim could get a stone as well? It would make things easier, I have a lot to learn when it comes to politics.” She looks to Luke, a mischievous gron starting at the corners of her mouth.
“Also, we are planning a trip into the desert. Im not sure how long we’ll be gone. I can let you know when we are on our way back and you can send Anglerond then.”

The Queen's voice is clear, and reassuring, "I will make sure Nesterim has access to a stone, he will help you whenever you need it. Anglerond will meet with you when you get back." Her voice hesitates. "I want to thank you Luke for looking after Key, all of us have noticed it and are in your debt" QUEEN ALURIA of ARBORLON

Luke smiles, and continues to be supportive to Key. They don't need to know Nestrim will be getting his own letter with the fastest mail service gold could buy. Nestrim might have been 4he villain in Aruthurian's stories, but th4e man was a politician, and heir to the throne. He was young and brash for an elf, but he was also a man of his word. He'd apologized to Rabbit, and he'd turned out to her much better than expected. The thing was, Luke had gone all out politically to make the man's life difficult in a long reaching way. Yet, Nestrim had taken it in stride, and come to appreciate the little band of adventurers. He'd even supported Key in this bizarre marriage of convenience that had apparently blossomed into more.

Key winks at Luke.
“We all take care of each other. We’re family. I wont take any more of your time. I know that you are very busy. Please give my sister a hug for me. I’ll let you know when we are on our way back home. If you need me sooner just let me know.”

Queen Aluria's voice has a tinge of fondness, "I realize it has been a short period of time, but the family has grown to care for you, and I daresay it has blossomed into a familial love. Alluvia talks nonstop about you and Artherien, I will have to approach that situation and be honest with her. She is a smart girl and is almost an adult, and will figure it out even without the rumors. I daresay the rest of your little band is appreciated around here, I even had Nesterim ask about Luke." A musical chuckle can be heard, "Imagine that... We will see you soon, and keep in contact regularly. I will secure Nesterim a stone and he can start your lessons. Take care daughter, take care Luke." QUEEN ALURIA of ARBORLON

Luke waits until the stone is truly dead and the connection is gone before turning to Key.
"You have to be careful. I'm not saying these aren't good people, but you are of incredible value to them. I just want to make sure you know you bloodline's worth. Politically it is more important to keep your bloodline close than have a wayward bastard son that keeps getting in trouble. I'm not saying they are also not kind and caring, but don't forget they have a job to do, and that is to keep their power consolidated," Luke cautions.

Key places the stone back in her pocket and listens very closely to what Luke is saying. She signs deeply.
“I completely agree. This is probably a blessing in disguise. If Im going to be a queen someday I need to make sure that my bloodline is consolidated as well. Im going to do a few things to that end starting with my last name. Im dropping theirs and keeping mine. When I do marry, whom ever I marry will have to take my last name. It will also need to make me stronger politically speaking. I really do appreciate what you did. Im sure it wasn’t an easy thing to do. I’d also appreciate any and all help. This is all so far out of my wheele house...”

Luke sighs in relief, and says, "It's outside my wheelhouse, but let's just say racially my demonic heritage gives me some insights on what someone could use against you. I didn't mean to pull you away from your night. I just needed to tell you before I sent out a letter of my own."

Key hugs the large man fiercely.
“You are fine, this was something I needed to hear. Shall we go down and have some breakfast?”
She lets go and looks up to him.
