"Valatar, I'm back with the water. Hurry up or I'll toss it."

He grumbled under his breath and closed the book he was reading from. Slowly standing up and walking towards the room she was in, rather than using the door, he waved his hand briefly over himself and stepped through the wall, appearing behind her as she sat down. "Well," He muttered walking past her, "Tossing out water wouldn't be the wisest thing to do, madame, after all we need it to survive."

He had caught the joking tone in her voice, but ever since the forceful take over of the Kingdom, he never cared to much for the jokes, and sometimes he had wondered if she was ever serious, but he disregarded that. "I've noticed that a few of the Yugile's lapdogs have came through again today," He said, moving around the table, she could see he wasn't exactly himself but an elderly man. "Of course, they had half the mind to step here." Slowly his normal features started to reappear and, soon enough, he was back to himself. Shaking his head and letting out a sigh, "I feel that things may begin to heat up if we continue staying here. While I suspect no one has exactly realized who you are, staying here any longer will likely pose a greater threat."

While his face didn't look it, as he showed no signs of emotion, that she could see, he was worried. Not just for his role in protecting the Princess, but for her as well.

"However, not all of the news is bad, I've heard rumors that a group in the east had taken arms against the Yugile. Though, I'm sure you would have rather heard hard facts than me blabbering on about false rumors, or rumors in general. Unless you have a different thought, madame, I wouldn't suggest we go chasing fairy tales, let alone rumors. As for the southern portion of the Kingdom," He lowered his head, "I've heard nothing."

Without much of any other thought, he glanced over and realized that the servant, Listel, was in the same room as them. "Forgive me for not taking immediate notice that you were here, Listel, I thought you were still at the market."
