Nestrim runs his left hand along Key's cheek lovingly, his eyes just give her the soft acceptance of someone in love.
"I heard about that, do not worry. I spent decades down there fighting. They are a passionate people, I have met couples that their first meeting was explosive and knives were drawn, and within a year they were married and bonded happily"
He smiles at Key, "The fact he argued with you is a good sign. They are very dangerous and unforgiving if they don't show emotion, that is when you know things are going poorly. If he yelled, and tried to explain anything, it means he likes you."
Anglerond raises an eyebrow thinking about what he told Key to begin with, "Did we just find your husband?" he says playfully.

Key laughs at both Rabbit and Anglerond. She smacks Rabbit lightly on the rump and makes an encouraging gesture to her.
“I don’t think so, he’s sure that he’s to low ranking for that.” She batts her eyelashes.

"You know if you end up liking him, that wouldn't be a bad idea. It would throw off their internal politics and disrupting our people's politics are always best for us."
His smile fades slightly as he watches the one of the two maidens leave shortly after Rabbit, the other just focuses her attention on Key, "Is there something I need to worry about, or something going on?"

Key tilts her head back and forth.
“It’s definitely something to think about.” She looks over her shoulder then looks up at Anglerond.
“There have been a few following me all morning.” She holds up a finger then turns back to the handmaiden and gestures to her with her tattooed hand motioning her to come closer into the tent. She leaves it vague enough that it can be ignored. She looks back to Anglerond and Nestrim and continues her conversation as if she hadn’t done anything.
“Im not sure if they were ordered to follow me or aRabbit or both. I think we have our answer.”

The handmaiden cocks her head to the side inquisitively. She looks around and moves in the same fluid motions Rabbit uses up to the doorway, "Yes Empress, how can I assist you?" She says in elven with a thick drow accent.

She stands and turns.
“I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable. Do you need anything to eat or drink? Do you need to know anything?”

The handmaiden looks confused at what Key says, especially at offering her food or drink, and shakes her head, "No Empress, I am not in need of any refreshment. Tell me what you want me to know, that is up to you. I am here to make sure you are safe while my lady Amal’aonar Ara’bund is at the council. She could not reconcile the loss to her honor for you, Queen Alluvian or the Elenren household if any harm became you. Not while her banner is here under peace." Her harsh guttural tone obviously more used to speaking drow then elven.

Key looks pleasantly surprised by the handmaidens revelation. She inclines her head in thanks.
“I will have to find a way to thank you and your mistress. Do you have any suggestions as to how to honor her for her thoughtfulness?”

The handmaiden bows her head slightly, "A visit with her would be appreciated."
She moves back to her original position silently.

Key turns and sits, looking back and forth between the two men. She looks at Nestrim steadily.
“Is that enough of a change for you?” She smirks playfully.

"That just underlines my anxiety about this meeting. Things aren't fitting like they should, Houses not quite acting like they do. Elves... even drow don't change that extremely in this short of a time. Right now your encounter with Kalil is the most reassuring thing I have seen."
He glances at the handmaiden still waiting outside. while Anglerond eyeballs the entire situation.

All the humor drains out of Key. She takes on a somber expression.
“Im starting to feel what your feeling. But as a counter point, heirs to millennia dead empires don’t appear every year either. Your abdication, while slighty more common doesn’t happen all thr time either. I feel like we’re feeling the ripples before the waves.”

Nestrim chuckles, "That is also something that bothers me, I can just be seeing something that is not there. You are correct, this absolutely could be real, and maybe things are changing. I guess sometimes change is hard for me as well."

Angelrond looks at the handmaiden, the leans over and pushes the hair away from Key's left ear, a small smile on his face as he strokes her earlobe. "Is she bothering you Key? I can arrange for her to be distracted if you want."
He looks out where Rabbit had left, "Should both of us be here? If either of you are worried, I would prefer Key had both Rabbit and I here."

Key leans into Angleronds touch. She turns her head and takes his earlobe into her teeth, she lets it go but leaves her lips near his ear and whispers.
“Im not worried. Im taking her at her word. Besides I think the three of us are more than a match for her.” She licks his neck quickly and turns to Nestrim.
“I think a bit of caution is wise. I’ll take whatever precautions you think are best.” She smiles.
