I glanced between them and smiled. "Perhaps." I said softly. "It might be something interesting to do."

I smiled, happy Maric had suggested it and Uncle Azriel, while though still a little uncomfortable about it all, still agreed to go. "Wonderful."

I smiled at Lilli, I was really starting to like her, she seemed like some one I could really get close to.

I looked to Maric again. "Do you want to settle into your room before dinner? I can have a bath drawn if you'd like. Or are you more hungry than anything else?" I asked with a teasing smile. My mother had made sure I would be a good hostess.

"Dinner first please, thank you Lilli." I said smiling. "I'm famished, a bath can wait."

"Fair enough," I said, smiling as I rose. "I'll go check to see where the dinner preparations are."
I left the room on quiet feet, heading for the kitchen. I wasn't worried, doubtless my uncle had some things he wanted to say to Maric without me around. His protective nature made me want to roll my eyes most days, but it was how he was.

I felt a little uncomfortable with Lilli leaving me in the presence of her Uncle, but he seemed like a kind enough fellow to not matter myself over much. I looked at him and smile, taking a sip of wine and unsure what to say.

I smiled as I watched Lilli go and then turned to Maric, for amoment I stared at him, curious to see if I'd make him uncomfortable. When I felt it was long enough I spoke. "Are you good at your studies Maric?" I began, easing into a conversation.

The silence was almost palpable but I kept a soft smile and sipped my wine as he looked at me. But I was thankful for his question. "I am my lord," I said nodding. "I believe its very important for my future so I always do my best. I'm not Siovalese but I do well."

I nodded, thinking about what to ask him next. Ah well, no point in beating around the bush. "Just Azriel please," I said with a soft smile before it faded. "I suppose this it the point that I warn you." I began. "Lilli is my niece, and is my only real family here. She's young, she's smart, but she's also had a rough spot with loosing both her parents in the plague. She has a bright future and I don't want to see her derailed." I sipped my wine once as I looked at him. "I was a young man once." I said raising a brow and hoping that he would get my meaning. "Lilli doesn't need to have someone distracting her."

I nodded as he spoke, knowing that it was the preogative of him to speak in such a fashion. He wanted to protect her, and I understood that, I had been vaguely aware that she had lost her parents recently and that was why Azriel was taking care of her. "I understand." I said softly. "But rest assured I have no intentions of...derailing...her." I glanced to my glass for a moment before looking at him. "Please don't repeat it to anyone, but I feel I should let you know that I'm a virgin." I said softly, a bit anxious at the admission. "And I assure you that my object of affection is actually another young lady. Rest safely in knowing that I will watch over Lilli as I watch over my own sister."

I listened as he spoke, no sign of malice or lies in what he said, and the fact he admited he had not bed anyone yet...I had to accept it at his word. "Alright." I said softly and nodded to him. "But just so you know, I'll be keeping an eye on both of you."

I was returning from the kitchens as quietly as I had left, and I was about to enter the room again when I heard my uncle's last words. I paused out of sight, wondering if I should go in or not.

I nodded. "I understand, I do." I said softly. "She's important to you and you want to make sure she's safe. I promise to be on my best behaviour." I smiled then, gentle as to not make him think I wasn't taking him seriously.

I nodded and smiled to him, leaving it at that. "I wonder what's taking Lilli so long." I said glancing to the doorway as if it would magically make her appear.

Silently I backed up a few steps to give myself some momentum, and then headed in. I smiled to both of them as if I hadn't been eavesdropping. "Dinner will be ready in about five minutes," I said.

When Lilli entered I stood, as was polite, and smiled. "Excellent, what's for dinner?" I asked her curiously.

"Roasted beef," I replied, settling back down where I had been sitting so that Maric could do the same. "And the various trappings."

I sat down as she sat as well and smiled. "My favourite." I said smiling and sipped my wine.

"Good guess then," I said with a laugh, swirling the last of my wine in the glass idly.

I smiled softly to Lilli. "Is there dessert?" I asked curiously.

"Peach crumble," I replied with a happy smile. It was a personal favourite of mine.

I smiled at the choice of dessert. "Its been awhile since I've had one." I said smiling at both of them. "This should be a real treat."
