Calida knew that she should have been prepared for... well, what was going on in the room at the moment, and she honestly thought that she had been, but everyone's actions still took her by surprise.
Truthfully, the queen really didn't like war meetings.
While a few others in the room disagreed, Calida had thought her son's speech was wonderful. Silently in her head she was congratulating him and made a mental note to bring it up later.
As her husband Saul stood up to speak next, Calida focused on giving his words her full attention. Her thought's traveled quickly though, and in no more than a few seconds the queen found herself wondering if she would be called to speak next. Hopefully not. What did she know about persuading people? Besides, she was merely there to give support to her husband and son, not to give long, boring speeches on why Metargo deserves to be heard out.
Saul sat back down and once again Calida placed her hand in his. The moment she did so one of the Metargo soldiers shot up from his seat and began raising his voice.
Calida, at the moment, wanted to have him thrown out of the room. Luckily for not only the soldier but everyone else present, President Anderson motioned for him to sit down before Calida could do anything.
As the Head Councilor began talking, Calida did her best to not look as if she wanted to be in any other place than the one she was in at the moment. In other words, she was trying not to look bored.
She knew that what was being discussed was important, but really the queen was starting to worry where Azalea was, hopefully not getting into trouble.
