[center][h1]Lady Safina Haliel[/h1][/center]

Safina fixed Nephinae with an unreadably neutral expression once the offer was made, trying to keep her thoughts under control. [i]This[/i] was why she didn't seek out the company of other elves. She was a street rat at her core, not some rarified dignitary. She had more in common with an average city-dwelling orc than an elf from the glades. 

Unfortunately, Safina's """kin""" favored Evelyn thanks to her blood. Another idiotic trait on their part. Blood didn't lead to shared experiences or outlooks in life. But that meant Safina couldn't afford to lose their support on the Queen's behalf. So she eventually favored Nephinae with a slight smile in response.

[b]"Perhaps, if Her Majesty can spare me. I'm kept rather busy within Hathforth's court as it is, so you may wish to have another option in mind as reserve. We can discuss this after the festivities are done with, yes?"[/b] She demurred. Of course, with the current situation, it wasn't unreasonable to assume that she [i]would[/i] have to take this posting sooner or later. Unfortunate, and infuriating.
