Lost hadn't taken this path in a while. He forgot how beautiful it was. He was always getting caught up in the affairs of other fey as of lately. He felt like he was at an awkward age where he had enough power to be feared by most, but many were still above him. The beautiful scenery and Tarani's calming presence helped him to relax and lower his gaurd some. He would never fully let it down though. That was just folly waiting for disaster in his mind.

You seem much more calm than the stories."[/color][/b]

Lost knew of the broken promises all too well. He had never been foolish enough to do that himself. The most serious of punishments lied in wait for liars, and he had taken advantage of that for other fey and humans as well. He was more self-centered than this noble Earth Nymph. He still served Falk loyally, but only as much as he had to, or as much as was convenient for him. Anya now asked a troubling question. Yes if he was eager to give his life in name of the King then he would have confronted them immediately, but he was merely looking for some fun today.

[b][color=f26522]"I was sitting in that tree when she happened underneath of it. A lot happens at the gates between realms. As for the other fey, I didn't think they were so dumb as to mess with the King's girl. Should they have tried any harm I would have intervened, but if they merely took her with them, I was going to follow and lead the King or one of his Legions to them. Although with your arrival none of that mattered, I knew none of them could sense me, but I suspected you would have. So even if they had engaged you I would have joined you in their crushing as well. As for their relationship, that is another story. It really does baffle me, but I would never do anything against the King. His way is his own. Whether I understand that way is completely irrelevant."[/color][/b] 

Turning the conversation from himself, he asked Anya a question. [b][color=f26522]"And what about yourself? Why are you so eager to defend the King and his possessions?"[/color][/b]
