[/color] [color=#ffffff]Elara nodded thoughtfully, her mind racing to provide a comprehensive answer that would satisfy Cassandra’s curiosity. [/color][color=#4169e1]“Royal announcements like this aren’t everyday occurrences,”[/color][color=#ffffff] she began, choosing her words with care to convey the gravity of the situation. [/color][color=#4169e1]“But they do happen from time to time, especially when there’s significant news or events that affect both the Aurelian and Lunarian people.” [/color][color=#ffffff]And boy, was there an announcement to be had today. The crowd’s murmurs and the guards’ stoic presence underscored the importance of the moment, adding layers of meaning to what little explanation she gave, making the air feel thick with anticipation.[/color] [color=#ffffff]Elara could sense Cassandra’s unease around the guards, the tension in her posture and the flicker of uncertainty in her eyes. She understood all too well how their imposing presence could be intimidating, especially to someone not accustomed to such displays of authority. The guards, with their stern expressions and vigilant stances, were a necessary but often unsettling part of these gatherings. Though, there was a small sense of irony in that Cassandra might be considered one of those threats given her blightborn nature. [/color] [color=#ffffff]When Cassandra mentioned her skills as a seamstress, Elara’s eyes lit up with genuine interest.[/color][color=#4169e1] “A seamstress, you say?” [/color][color=#ffffff]she echoed, her mind already envisioning the possibilities. [/color][color=#4169e1]“I believe there could be a need for your skills here.” [/color][color=#ffffff]The town was always bustling with activity, a vibrant hub where new arrivals often brought fresh opportunities and unique talents. Elara was certain that Cassandra could find a place where her talents would be not only appreciated but celebrated.[/color] [color=#ffffff]Elara offered a reassuring smile, hoping to ease any lingering doubts Cassandra might have. [/color][color=#4169e1]“If you’d like, I can introduce you to some of the local merchants and craftsmen I know,”[/color][color=#ffffff] she suggested, her tone warm and inviting. She knew that these connections could be invaluable, providing Cassandra with the support and resources she needed to get started. [/color][color=#4169e1]“They might be able to help you settle in and find the materials you need.”[/color][/indent]
