Idk. I guess we didn’t get much detail about the feast. Like, are there people other than our characters there? I was thinking that the queen might wait to give them more information afterward, but yeah, I don’t really know.

I don’t know if it’s the coldest or not, but probably? Cut Bank, a town in Montana has the record for coldest spot in the nation (I think).

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333October 26, 2023 at 9:12 am #160570October 26, 2023 at 10:20 am #160575Nahim
Nahim stared after Zahlin as he put his helmet back on, he didn’t need any of these most likely screemish (I cannot spell that word!) People of Lillen seeing his face.
Ellis trudged back to the dining hall, a bad mood forming over his features. Nahim debated following Zahlin, but Zahlin’s quest was basically pointless. Most likely a culture who doesn’t fight, isn’t going to have an armory.
He sighed and followed Ellis, thinking about Zahlin’s words about innocent children dyeing.
No! Nahim couldn’t let that happen, he would guard those people he didn’t know with his life! But even the entire Nayhelm family-clan died, and that wasn’t enough to save all the refugees they had taken under wing in the Nanian War.
Nahim’s blood boiled. He stopped his walking. The Queen! She would send people who have little to no training into battle and let them die for the sake of her country! No, only the warriors should fight, espiecally dragons! Was there ever a case of an untrained person slaying a dragon? Nahim could think of none. He weighed his sword in his hand, the Queen would have to reconsider her decision.
But what could he do to her? If she died, there would be no going home. She knew Nahim wouldn’t kill her.
Suddenly an idea dawned on him, what if she thought he was magical? What if she thought he could send them back? No, that wouldn’t work. If he was magical, then why didn’t he just send them back himself?
“Augh!” He threw his sword against the wall in frustration. He couldn’t let those people die, but he knew he most likely wouldn’t be able to save them all either.
Ellis was now in the banquet hall, but Nahim didn’t want to follow, though he knew he should. Zahlin would be angry if he followed him, and Nahim didn’t feel like wandering aimlessly around this nature-themed palace.
“Do these people even know they’re going to die?” He whispered to the still air around him. “They should know.”
He picked up his sword and hung it on his belt. Turning, he went back to the banquet hall and slid into a seat by Ellis. He surveyed the people around him and whispered to himself mysteriously, “So few. So innocent.” He turned to Ellis, who looked like he wanted to kill someone. “Ellis, these people are going to die. We can’t, we mustn’t, let that happen.”

Ellis stared sulkily around the room, resting his chin on his arms. Didn’t any of these people care that they were going to be sent to their deaths? He had tried to help. Tried to convince them to work together. He was the only one who seemed concerned about their fate, and how did they treat him? So far, he had not only been scorned and belittled by Ottoline, but also ambushed in a hallway by Zahlin.
Nahim slipped into his seat next to him. “Ellis, these people are going to die,” he said, “We can’t, we mustn’t, let that happen.”
“I’ve been trying to help them,” muttered Ellis, “But none of them care. I can’t protect them if they won’t even let me help them.”

Ellis muttered to Nahim in response, “I’ve been trying to help them, but none of them care. I can’t protect them if they won’t even let me help them.”
Nahim looked at him through his visor, shocked. He never had thought about it, but Ellis was right.
“I can’t let them die. My entire family gave their lives for people like them, Ellis, and I shall do the same.” His voice hardened with resolve, and then tinged with bitterness as he said, “This queen in a murderer.”

#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)October 26, 2023 at 12:06 pm #160582Oof, Nahim’s words are getting harsh!

”This queen is a murderer,” declared Nahim.
Ellis looked up. “Not yet she’s not,” he said, “And I’d rather it stay that way. You’re right. We keep trying. Have you talked to any of these people before? We need to see who’s willing to work with us.”

“Zahlin would help, I have no doubt. Why don’t you turn the the guy on your left, and ask him? He at least has a quiver of arrows.” Nahim stood up. “I will look abroad. I’ll meet you a little later, so long.” Nahim turned, wondering who he should approach.

#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)October 26, 2023 at 12:26 pm #160587I mean, technically Ottoline didn’t scorn/belittle him, she was just having a panic attack because she’s been hurt before. She wasn’t mad, she was just afraid of him. (I know it’s probably just how Ellis thinks, I just think it’s funny that he feels that way.) Also, Ottoline kind of does care, she already tried to fight the queen….so….
Sorry, I’m just overprotective of my charries, lol

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333October 26, 2023 at 12:28 pm #160589How would Ottoline react to Nahim now? I know she was terrified of him before, has anything changed?

#AnduthForever (hopefully 💕)October 26, 2023 at 12:29 pm #160590From Ellis’s perspective, that’s what it was, basically. He could tell that she was scared of him at first, but he has no idea why. If he knew what she had been thinking, he might be a bit more sympathetic, or he might just be annoyed that she assumed bad things about him, lol. He’s also exaggerating a bit here, since he was also following Zahlin and not just walking along minding his own business.

LEFSE FOREVER!!!!!! <333October 26, 2023 at 12:30 pm #160592When she saw Ellis talking to him, she thought “of course they’d be hanging out” or something like that, so I don’t think she likes him, lol.
