Nathaniel acknowledged the woman’s comments with a respectful nod, his expression thoughtful on that fateful night. She would have likely slipped in during the guards' lockdown or perhaps moments before it fell into place.

As the soft murmur of conversation enveloped the room, Nathaniel’s attention was drawn to the lady seated at the table beside her husband. Instinctively, a habit forged through countless encounters with nobles and influential figures, he placed his right hand over his heart and executed a slight bow toward them, a gesture steeped in respect and propriety.

When Lord Coswain introduced himself, Nathaniel’s lips curled into a warm smile. [colour=#C0C0C0]“Well met, Lord Coswain,”[/colour] he replied, his voice carrying a hint of cordiality that belied the regal that he often maintained. Looking at Lord Coswain, he clearly had seen his fair share of adventure and battle either good or bad. There was just that aura that he admitted that indicated that he wasn't afraid to draw his blade if needed to defend himself or his people.

However, the polished facade he had carefully crafted wavered dangerously when Lord Coswain casually commented on Daphne’s role in looking after the priestess. A surge of suppressed laughter bubbled within him, recalling the unexpected intimacy shared between the squire and the priestess during their sanctuary in the temple a memory that caused a barely stifled chuckle to rise in his throat. Clearing his throat, he regained his composure. [colour=#C0C0C0]“N-no, of course not. She appears quite capable in a fight; you must be very proud of her skills for you to speak so casually of her.”[/colour] A faint smile danced on his lips, illustrating his admiration. [colour=#C0C0C0]“It’s a pleasure to meet you, acquaintance, Lord Coswain”[/colour] his gaze went from Lord Coswain to his wife. [colour=#C0C0C0]Lady Coswain.[/colour]

As the elderly couple began to reminisce about the joyful days of their youth, their eyes sparkling with memories of love and adventure, the Blight-born girl finally found her voice. She spoke earnestly, explaining her motivations and aspirations as a Sage. Nathaniel listened intently. [colour=#C0C0C0]“Not at all. It’s a valid answer and may indeed serve you well during your interview with the Prince."[/colour] he encouraged, his tone both supportive and sincere. [colour=#C0C0C0] "I'm Nathaniel Stormlight, I hail from the central capital of Aurelia. I just arrived here yesterday."[/colour]
