Secret Meetings

[sisterwink]

Wink stood on the outskirts of the city of Deningrad, bundled up against the cold. It wasn't unusual for her to wander the city. As the official ambassador of Mille Seseau she had the luxury of being able to come and go as she pleased without fear of suspicion. At least she used to. It had been months since the queen had begun acting strangely, and Luanna was still missing. What would happen to her if Queen Theresa suspected deceit? Was it deceit to worry about your queen? No, but logic did not matter lately to the queen.

Wink rubbed her palms together and looked up at the clear blue sky. She hoped Lloyd would come. He had a troubling tendency to disappear off on his own without telling anyone. She always worried but usually wasn't too troubled by it. This time though, she needed to see him before he decided to leave on his own. Proud, tacit man though he was she had never had much trouble reading him, she knew it was only a matter of time before he took things into his own hands.

Wink knew as well as Lloyd did that this situation was not going to resolve itself. When Luanna went missing, he knew it was only a matter of time before the Queen's attention turned upon him. As such, he'd made himself more scarce than was normal. Hard to catch a man you couldn't pin down, no? However, the shift in the Queen's heart had not gone unnoticed by the wingly, and certainly she was aware of that fact.

Still, he was mindful of Wink's worry, and did not disappear completely just yet. He waited, outside of town away from the humans, until she sought him. A rustle among the trees betrayed his whereabouts as he approached. Cloaked and hooded in heavy clothing, the cold still bothered him even now. "Wink... It is dangerous for you out here, you know that." Worry? From him? Never.
