Clara watched him and felt breathtakingly proud at this scoff of indignation. She won that round. She didn't hold back her smile. “Of course, Clara. No harm would come to you. I will not touch you, even on your wedding night should you decide to marry someone.” He said and her smile faltered. "Like me,'' He said with a wicked grin and she looked at him in horror. What is wrong with this man, and why in the name of the Gods does he keep flirting with her.Why even mention-, her horror filled expression deepened as realization dawned on her. Surely he couldn't be thinking what she thought he was thinking? There was no way? He wouldn't be so brash...but then why wouldn't he? “Aha! There it is! They used his human name and not the one he-“ He said and stopped suddenly, breaking her from her thoughts. He found whatever it was he was looking for in that book, in which she told him the Orinan scholars were thorough enough to find whatever it was he was looking for but she kept it to herself. He then addressed one of his elven guards and instructed them to leave the citizens alone. Good. He was mad but not entirely stupid. His focus was one the book still and she rolled her eyes. "Whatever," She said and called to Narissa. " My tea, Narissa, take it to my chambers, I'll be there shortly." She said and Narissa with a tentative nod, exited the room. "Now, Shadow King, I'll be taking my leave," She said waiting for him to respond, she needed to know what this person was he was so interested in, he called this person his Foe, and he seems to have found him, but what did that mean? If he was as old as he claimed, then perhaps there was power in this bloodline, if so she had to find this person herself, warn them, and maybe, just maybe get them to fight with her.
