Amaya was settled on a cushion, reading over some document when she felt a shadow fall on her. She glanced up, one thin eyebrow arching ever so slightly as she took in the newcomer. Prince Amod of the House Garnet was standing before her, looking anxious over something.
She tilted her head. "Yes?" she asked, wondering why he was coming to her and not her mother, before remembering she was the new Head of House Amethyst and as such, they'd be coming to her.
"As our families are old allies, um," he started, rubbing the back of his neck. "My parents would really accept my courtship of Zarkan of House Onyx if you'd give it your blessing."
Amaya kept the stunned expression off her face - she had heard rumors that the two princes of both Onyx and Garnet were infatuated with each other, but to get actual confirmation, that she hadn't been expecting. And that explained why he had come to her - as she was more open to such relationships [unlike the late Lady Senshe, who probably would have died on the spot if she heard of this]. She leaned back, a thoughtful expression crossing her features.
Amod waited for her answer, hoping that he appeared patient. He didn't want to rush things but he really did love Zarkan and he really wanted to be with him [they'd worry about the issue of heirs later] so, he hoped that the new leader of the House of Amethyst could help him.
"Does he make you happy?" she asked quietly, tilting her head slightly.
"Yes," came the quiet response.
Amaya nodded to herself. "And will you make him happy?" she asked.
"I would do anything and everything to ensure that."
Amaya nodded again. "Then you have my blessing," she said. "And I better get a wedding invitation," she said, rising to hug him.
"Thank you, Lady Amaya," he said, hugging her tightly. He bowed and made his way off.
Amaya sunk back down onto her cushion. Well, that was an interesting meeting.
"Something has you all thoughtful," a familiar, and most welcomed, voice said.
She glanced up, a smile crossing her features as she took in the new Lord of House Turquoise, Preet. She rose slowly and made her way over, quietly embracing him. "Hmm.. Just had my first meeting with one of the old family allies that has me thinking about relationships," she said.
"A non-too subtle hint, even for you, m'lady," Preet lightly teased, ruffling her golden tresses.
"Oh, hush," she lightly admonished. "At least it was an easy meeting," she admitted. "I still have to meet with Lord Reishan to confirm his desire to have his brother's eldest being made heir to the White Diamonds. Then I have to meet with the Lord of House Topaz to confirm his making the younger brother to the future Lord of the House of White Diamonds his heir. Hopefully, I'll be able to steal a bite to eat between meetings."
Preet gave a low whistle. "Sounds like a full plate," he said. "Want me to attend the meeting with Lord Reishan?"
"Please," Amaya asked, looking up at him. "Given the history between our families, I could use the support."
"Consider it done," Preet said, holding his Amethyst close.
[ending here since it's become one hell of a monster! But, I definitely will play in this universe again!]
