Songstress looked over the food that had been delivered, she recognized lamb immediately, it was one of her favorites. She heard the woman say her name was Emerald, she made sure to file the name away for future interactions with her, [color=lightgreen]"You may call me Songstress."[/color] she replied. She watched as Emerald left to attend to other duties, which was good, she prefered to eat alone. Well, technically she wasn't, but she had come not to mind Nikko being around. For the time being, she trusted the salamander, he hadn't done anything to warrant being her enemy. Her observation of him continued, [i][color=lightgreen]So, he can hold things the same way a human can, I'll have to keep that in mind.[/color][/i] she thought to herself. She reached for the fruit drink she had been given, taking a small sip to try it, finding it pleased her palate. She heard the sound of a child's voice come from the doorway after setting her drink down, finding she was just a small little thing, but she was able to speak quite well for her age. After giving her name, Songstress felt it only polite to give her own, though it wouldn't be her real name for obvious reasons. [color=lightgreen]"You can call me Songstress, Lyra."[/color] she replied. She was offered a cake by the little girl, she apparently had no fear of her, then again, Lyra probably had little to fear in the castle anyways. Songstress shook her head at Lyra's offer, [color=lightgreen]"No thank you, Lyra, I don't really like sweets. I'm sure Nikko might like it though."[/color] she said, motioning to the salamander next to her. [color=lightgreen][i]Strange. How did a child like her wind up here? And she seems not to be afraid of the Fae in the castle. And the guards, they didn't stop her from coming in...does that mean she outranks them? She must have someone powerful protecting her if that's the case. Perhaps the King, maybe?[/i][/color] she thought. She looked at Nikko, [color=lightgreen]"Say Nikko, it seems Lyra here can do almost whatever she wants...does that mean she outranks just about everyone?"[/color] she asked her new friend.
