Vortai bowed to Lya and made up his mind to prepare to leave. He wanted to stay with Lumi, but then again he wasn't a part of the family. He wanted to laugh in spite of himself that they wanted to go to the Sun Fest after having him pull off this task, but he resisted.

"Very well, I shall be prepared to head out shortly. Call upon me anytime, I will be making my rounds later."

He needs to get some rest so he could take a nighttime watch over the Princess's room. He wanted his weapon to be ready and he should find some time to give his clothing scrub after the walk. Sadly he might not be able to do that with how much time he has at the palace, but at the same time it means he won't have to sit in Maelstrom for long.

"We won't be leaving until tomorrow evening at the earliest," Shadow assures Vortai

Outside the front door to the castle, Xavier appears arm in arm with his lovely new bride. He had to constantly remind himself not to fawn over her too much in public, especially here since they were in front of the home of her employer.

[Kender Bard]

Luna smiled sweetly at Xavier before letting go of him and approaching one of the guards. "May I speak with the Queen?"

The guard hesitated. "We'll see," he mumbled, heading inside to contact a servant.

Where Lya and Shadow were, a servant hastily appeared. "Queen Lya, a lady awaits your audience outside. She looked familiar. Luna I think her name was."

"Oh," Lya murmured, handing Luminous to Shadow. "I better take care of this. One moment, darling." Following the servant, she went to the door. "Luna! How good to see you again."

Luna made a low curtsey.

"And you are...?" She looked at Xavier. His name failed her at the moment. "How can I help you?"

[Devon]

Xavier bows low to the queen, before standing up straight again putting on his most handsome smile. "My name is Xavier, I am just here from Sensatia escorting my wife to your breath-taking castle." Yeah he might have been laying things on a little thick, but today he woke up on the right side of bed practically hovering on air. It wasn't often he got to throw the phrase 'my wife' around anyway.

[Northen Light36]

Flash, having heard Luna was at the mansion, practically ran to greet her, though he had paused to invite Salaica to come with him. Seeing Luna's with Lya though, Flash simply hovers in the background, hoping he'll be able to steal a minute with his niece.

[Kender Bard]

"And what do you need, Luna?" Lya asked politely.

Luna cleared her throat. "I was hoping to come work for you again, my queen. I could stay in Sensatia with my husband and children and still be able to come to work. Xavier has graciously volunteered to take me here."

Lya considered this. "Well, perhaps... How good are you at fortelling danger?"

Luna blinked. "Pardon?"

"You know, danger," Lya mumbled. "Could you do a daily augering for me?"

Luna blinked again, much more slowly. "Yes, my queen, I could."

Lya smiled, satisfied. "You are hired then. Start as soon as possible." Spotting Flash, Lya grinned and moved out of the way to go rejoin her family.

"Uncle Flash!" Luna gasped in delight.

[Devon]

Xavier stands beside Luna, glad to see her so happy. Looking towards Flash, Xavier bows slightly and greets him. "Nice to meet you again sir."

[Northen Light36]

Flash shoots the Queen a thankful look before moving to hug Luna. He nods to Xavier. "Well it's too late to threaten you, so nice to meet you," he jokes before turning back to Luna. "I've missed you, little ghost," Flash tells her softly, using the name he teased Luna with when she was little. "How are you? I'm sorry I couldn't make it to your wedding. Saph told me you looked wonderful."

[Kender Bard]

Luna smiled. "I've been well, Uncle. Life in Sensatia is very peaceful. I've been taking care of my stepchildren. They're not much younger than me, but I feel responsible for them. Divria is such a sweetheart. I hope my own turn out like her." She grinned. "And who is your lady friend?"

Salacia just smiled and waved politely. "I am Salacia."

"A pleasure to meet you," Luna remarked warmly. "Well, Uncle, looks like I'll be seeing you on a regular basis again."

[Northen Light36]

"Well I can't say I'm sorry," Flash replies, hugging Luna again. "It'll let me keep an eye on you." He grins at her. "And don't tell me you're a grown women, Luna. I'm your uncle, it's my job to treat you like you're still a little girl."

[Devon]

Xavier quickly bows to Salacia as well, he didn't want to forget anyone and be thought of as rude where he was. Remarking with a smile Xavier looks to Salacia. "Pleasure to meet you miss. I am Xavier."

[Kender Bard]

"A pleasure indeed," Salacia said simply, smiling.

"You can keep treating me so, then, Uncle," Luna giggled and returned his embrace. "But the twins would beg to differ. We should get back so I can cook their dinner." She tilted her head back and smiled at Xavier. "Right dear?"

[Devon]

Xavier nods and replies with a smile. "Yes honey. I would say Divria and Timble could take care of themselves for a while, but I doubt they could sit still in the kitchen long enough." Xavier straightens out his shirt before touching his signs together and waiting for his wife to join his side.

[Northen Light36]

Flash laughs and lets Luna go. "Then you better go home before they dismantle the house. Forces know, I remember you and Cloud came close to that on occassion." Smiling, he gives Luna a kiss on the forehead then a gentle push towards Xavier. Looking at the other man, he adds, "You take care of her Xavier, or I'll be taking a vacation from work so we can 'discuss' the matter."
