Taking in a deep breath as she wandered through the Market, as the familar smells and chatter seemed to warm her up. A few passerbys recognized her and whispered under there breath about Lady Kaline back within the Palace walls. Adjusting the bands that held her dress up, slightly so they weren't so tight, as her hands slide over her dress smoothing out the creases.
As she continued through the market, she stopped at one booth and purchased a leather thong and pulled her long blonde hair back into a pony tail revealing, the pointed ears that were nested on the side of her head. A few inchs from her ears were small patchs of black scales that shimmered in the light.
Taking in a soft breath, she caught the sight of a very old friend and mentor. Grinning a bit as she followed him into the tavern, silently making her way to the back of the tavern as she watched Elros carefully. One of the tenders come over and asked for her drink, " Ill just have a water and please have that gentleman over there order anything he likes, the tabs on me." She smirked as the tender nodded and walked away.
Leaning back in her chair she sighed softly as she heard the man talking to Elros in what has happened in the past few years." So Cirdan decided to retire, interesting." She chuckled softly under her breath, her emerald hues seemed to glow and glitter even though the tavern was poorly lit.
The tender returned with her water and Kaline thanked her and handed her a tip and sipped at it. Shifting in her chair a bit as she propped her feet up on the chair next to her. She was just waiting to see how long it actually took Elros to recognize her.

Nodded," I see my son has taken over and is doing very well. I was just on my way to see him when I spotted you." She smirked softly and sipped at her water. Looking around as she wiggled her nose a bit and she didn't seem any older than the last time everyone had seen her, actually she seemed a lot younger.
"As for my adventures, I have seen the world and come back." She chuckled a bit and looked at him," Hmm, I do miss Cirdan though." She let out a soft sigh,'' So what have you been up to Elros?" She tilted her head a bit and let out a soft sigh as she looked around and finally felt comfortable and relaxed.

He rested in content as he sat there and listened to her and he couldn’t help but to smile at what she said, he knew it of course but said nothing. ‘’ We all miss him but he has his own destiny he must complete unfortunatly we cannot be there to help him, he has burdens within him that he would carry to his death none would understand or comprehend ‘’ he left it at that and he said calmly ‘’ I been traveling to distance Empires and Kingdoms like this one to help out there was one particular that I found intriging enough perhaps enough I can sway them to my own needs and slowly take over…’’ he said calmly ‘’ And rise it above the ground a kingdom we both know well ‘’he said calmly as he sat there to drink some of his drink allowing her to digest the words spoken of course he thought about Siannodel and Lensia both but he knew the stakes if he riased both them from the ground the thought of combining the two together had indeed occurred to him as he thought about it ‘’ But that is what I have been up to…’’ he smiled softly

A soft sigh parted her lips as a trickle of black smoke seemed to lick at her lips and then disapper into the air," You know...I never understood why he wouldn't let anyone help carry his burdens.....that man I swear." Chuffed softly and chuckled at what Elros said," Well, that would be interesting to see what happens. I know I have traveled to several kingdoms...and well frankly I wasn't welcome at many of them...for the simple fact of who I once was." As she said that she ran her hand over a long scar that ran from her should to just below her elbow." The person who I would never become again." She said coldy and shook her head to clear it and sighed once more," Well Elros I wish you luck in pursuading them, You have more people skills that I could ever fathom." She chuckled a bit as she knew her temper was always quicker than her thoughts.
Looking toward the door as she thought of something," Hmm I wonder if my son would recognize something." Something seemed to shift ackwardly in her neck as she let out a loud muscial whistle, the vibrations of the notes echoed within themselves as she let it fall. As her neck returned to normal as she smirked softly," IT has been years since I have whistled like that." She took a large gulp of her water and shifted her neck from side to side as she cracked it.
Looking at Elros as she sniffed the air a bit," Is that weed that you were going to put into your pipe?" She asked curiously.

Elros grinned slightly ‘’ Yes, perhaps it is I hardly smoke anything honestly but I couldn’t pass this one up for the world..’’ he said softly his eyes narrowed ‘’ it helps keep me relaxed anyway and freesmy spirits some ‘’ he looked at her ‘’ Cirdan hates to see anyone go through what he has gone through his whole life, he has been through a lot, through being called a traitor even and hurt so many times it came natureal to him to be able to do it back…’’ he explained softly so only she could hear him ‘’ He still carrys the runesword….’’ He looked at her ‘’ he is confused he doesn’t know where his heart is right now and it is best that we do not intervene he has to find his own way ‘’ he stated calmly ‘’ Find his own path even if it means his end ‘’ he placed his pipe down ‘’ I do not know where Cirdan is I know Lazuli has seen him last you might want to go seek him out..perhaps ‘’ he looks at her ‘’ I am sorry for this news if it troubles you, he does love you and thinks about you a lot Cirdan does..’’ He drinks his drink some and places it down ‘’ If you carried his burdans he would never forgive himself to allow you to go through that this I know, so he sacrifices the one thing he cared about and one person even Rika he’s sacrificed her by leaving her and no he has not found another and I doubt he ever love again…right now I think it is best for him to move on with his life and let him choose for himself what he wants to do all we can do is support him by letting him go…for now ‘’ he said calmly his eyes gazed at her

(( about not responding...I have been sick...still am...so this post will be short....sorry))

Let out a soft growl and shook her head as she knew that it was right to let him go about his way for now but she did not like it." I know..." She said and took a drink and looking down at the glass as she wrinkled her nose a bit." I would smoke with you but that is another thing I gave up." She chuckled a bit and leaned back a bit and looked at him.

Her skin tone seemed to glitter a bit in the low light as she looked around," Hmm it is so nice to be home though. A lot of people still recognize me and there is talk in the markets about my return already. They associate my returning as something ill is forboding in the future." She shook her head and laughed," I am surprised my son has not heard of my return yet. There are so many murmurs in the market place right now that it is almost well irritating." She snorted a bit and glared at the door.

Shrugging a bit as she ran a finger over the surface of the table, lines seemed for form behind her fingers as they were senseless drawings and she looked up at Elros," Even after everything, you don't seem to have changed a bit toward me, even after all the hell I put Cirdan through and then my coming and goings like the wind. I figured I would hated amoung those that cared for me once a long time ago. But, people surprise me anymore in the way they think and move and how some just throw their fate away like it was theirs in the frist place."

That seemed to snap her out the trance she was in. Blinking as she looked at him and her eyes were questioning," What do you mean seek the throne...the throne is Lazuli's.... As for me...how am i still married to Cirdan...Didn't Cirdan go through the get the divorce or whatever...." Her mind reeled with questions as she continued to try and comprehend what Elros said," The Stormbringer I knew was under his control cause I didn't feel it trying to lashout any more....but as far as the throne goes...I abandoned everyone....disappeared...left....therefore that title was given up...I figured when Rika got with Cirdan she took over as Empress...What do you mean there was no legal marriage?" She tilted her head as she searched his face for answers.

Looking at the tender," I need something hard....um....Bring me the hardest liquor you have." She chuckled a bit and looked back at him," I don't think the water is cutting it anymore. But, anyways, That would not be right if I took the throne from Lazuli....it is rightfully his now....did Cirdan not pass it down to him?" She thought for a moment," I am well aware that most people know of my presence within the kingdom's walls right now. The marketplace is buzzing that they have seen me walking amoung them once more... Some have hope that I am back to stay...others are resenting me for coming back. I don't blame them for resenting me." Chuckling as she looked around and the tender brought her a liquor that was almost black. Looking up at the tender," thank you, just leave the bottle." She smirked and looked at Elros and chuckled," Sorry...so many questions are reeling through my mind right now..."
