(I feel like the name "Serhan" actually fits his character better than Serhan Karga but idk might go with a variant like Serkan, Serdar, Soner, Burhan, etc. idk which one do you like?) Bulent avoided her look and gazed out the kitchen's window while waiting for her to finish, already not planning on taking her advice to rest. "You're too concerned, no one is going to know what happened and you're not going to get into any trouble for it," he said. "When I have some spare time, I will," he nodded. (I know youβve already moved him on but I wanted to reply to this anyway. I kind of like Soner or Burhan tbh ^^) Adelaide noticed him avoiding her gaze, focused on something past her instead. Her grip tightens on the basket and she chews the inside of her cheek, wondering if she had said something wrong. His comment almost takes her aback and she shifts her eyes downward, shifting her weight uncomfortably between feet. βIβm not concerned about others finding out, or even getting in trouble. Iβm honestly worried about your well-being, Bulent. Just as I would be worried if anyone else were to get hurt.β She told him honestly, daring to look back up at him. Thereβs a moment of silence before she looks into the kitchen and gives a soft sigh. βI hope to see you around.β Adelaide said quietly, drawing into the kitchen now and letting the door close behind her. |

Beyza wasted no time answering. "Your duties as prince and potential king of Meviah." The breeze picked up, tugging at her brown and gray hair. She took a moment to examine her son as he stared out at the sea, noticing a few of her features. He isn't ready to be king, she thought.
"I'm not going to live very long, Bulent." Her words were even, though faint from illness. Beyza had long since accepted that she was going to die. Of course, she'd prefer to live. Mostly. But she knew, better than anyone, that her days as queen remained short.

"Well yes obviously... but specifically I was thinking I missed more than just breakfast..." He looked like he really felt the weight of her answer. He gazed down again. "You don't know that for sure... you could yet have years left." he tried.

For the first time in a long time, Beyza smiled. A small, almost sad smile. "Ah, sometimes I wish that you may be right, my son." It was her turn to look out to sea now, her brown-black eyes taking in the beloved deep blue that her kingdom was built around.

"Things have been... fairly calm recently." Bulent said. "You've been reading a lot more, what is that one about?" he asked, nodding to the tome in her lap and doing his best to small talk since her silence made him worry.

"The calmness is pleasant." Though Beyza suffered from her illness, the extended time she had to herself because of it was something she genuinely appreciated. "It seems that illness was all it required to get courtroom hooligans off my back for once, " she scoffed, picking up the old book from the table and tracing her fingers against the cover. "I've been interested in the Domuletrian Empire lately," she answered.

Bulent/Serhan tried not to laugh when she said βcourtroom hooligansβ. βYou shouldβve simply asked me, I apparently have a knack for avoiding anyone from the court. Whatβs been interesting about the Domuletrian empire recently?β Serhan asked, actually turning to look at his mother now.

The queen pondered for a moment; about the strangeness of Domuletria that was so foreign to Meviah. "We regularly trade with them, for materials that are invaluable to us. Their lumber helps build our ships, a vital part of Meviahn living. Yet their lands still remain so shrouded in mystery and magic." Beyza tapped the book in her lap. "I want to uncover those mysteries."

βMaybe we could send for books or any written texts from Domuletria to be bought on the next trade shipment, and have them translated.β Though Serhan wasnβt entirely sure what she meant. βI donβt suppose we have many books on Domuletria or magic in our library.β Serhan thought back to the time they once met with a Domuletrian ambassador on one of the smaller islands, when he was around 7, but the memory was fuzzy at best.

Calix nodded his head. "Although, I left because it was getting dull." He answered moving his hands into his pockets. "There is only so much talk you can handle ya know? They were bragging about their griffins."

"So you found someone quieter?" Eylul tilted her head, looking at the table of noblemen he'd left and trying to overhear their conversation. "Why did you come over here to talk to me?" she glanced up at him. Hawkeyes258 |

Rafaela left her house later on and walked to the beach to meet with a few other soldiers stationed around a guard tower overlooking the sea. She had changed into her casual clothes and wanted to talk to the commander there to know what her future post would be like, and she also hung around after the events of that morning because their were more soldiers there. |

"Not so fast murderer."Neglos muttered to himself before walking to a position where he could clearly talk to the girl."I just wanted a job."He stated.

Rafaela ignored him and just kept walking, picking up the pace and weaving through other people as she took the steps down onto the beach.

Rafaela stopped and glared at the crow. She grabbed the handle of the rapier at her belt, and slashed the crow to the ground with one quick swipe, before re-sheathing her sword and carrying on.

Rafaela swiped the note away and jogged a little down the beach towards the guard tower, not bothering to look back. As soon as she walked up she spoke a word or two to the soldiers outside and they let her in.

One of the crows slipped in with her and flew up to a pace it'd be hidden.It had a small rock around it's neck and with it,Neglos was able to listen and look in.

"If you see those flocks of crows around the city, kill them." Rafaela mentioned to one of the soldiers. They talked over shifts and hours for city guards, and Rafaela spoke to the general for a while after it was over, both of them keeping their voices low.
