[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6391265, member: 40413"] The villagers are muted until they pull away from the group returning to the keep. Then they get a little more animated chattering amongst themselves and planning for a community meal in the town square. The king and his family are expected to preside over it and as their guests the group is welcome as well, despite Mirra's vocal objection to local belief and tradition. King Danyll walks along quietly next to his wife, Queen Raisa, whose stiff posture still proclaims her indignation. A lady in waiting walks next to the queen cooing soothingly in her ear. Valeriya walks with Polina; the younger girl clutches her sister's hand tightly and the older sister talks in a non-stop patter just low enough to be difficult to hear but it seems to be a recounting of all the minor things that happened in the keep when Polina was away. Matta Sofya hurries to join Mirra and match her strides to the aasimar's. She walks alongside quietly for a moment before speaking. [color=#dda0dd]"We don't have the luxury of denying our gods.
