Out on the Town (Open)

[Forn Clakes]

All that gesticulating seemed to have the Fairest worried and she gently placed her hands on the Draconic's wrists, slowly easing his arms back to his sides. Her touch is cold but not forced, and there is always a smile on her face as she stares into Deadly's eyes. "I can see you're an excitable fellow, yes? But some of these items are precious to me and I would feel great sorrow if anything was broken."

Releasing his arms, the Fairest, Queen Katrin Byeli of the Winter Court, looked towards the other two fae that had entered. She intitally spoke to the Mirrorskin, saying, "Greetings, Myst, it seems you are correct," before turning to the Gravewright.

"Lilian, I am glad to see you out and about. Please, you may stand, yes? Now," Katrin says, looking to them all, "I am Katrin Byeli, and it seems you have either stumbled upon my little shop by accident or was guided here by someone in the know, either way, I am glad. It is always uplifting to see more new arrivals to the freehold. But, enough of that, who would like some lemonade?" she asked, still smiling. Behind the counter, the flakes within the many snowglobes where in a terrible flurry, a true storm in the glass.

Degnar continued to watch the scene inside the store through the window. He noticed another Winter courtier make her way into the store. He had also met this one briefly at the Four Seasons. He began to relax a bit with the arrival of some familiar faces, well as familiar as can be for the brief period of time he had spent above ground in Sacramento. He continued to observe the group from the outside for a few minutes until he finally decided to walk into the store.

Degnar made as little noise as possible as he walked in, not wishing to disturb the Queen and the others gathered there. His body twisted and turned in an abnormal manner as he took each step forward. Once his presence was acknowledged by the Queen he would offer a respectful bow, bending his body in such a way that his forehead almost touched the ground.

"Greetings my Queen." He said in his usual monotone voice. "I am a new arrival to this freehold as well. Mr. Swilla said I could find you here." Once he had addressed the Onyx Queen he turned his attention to his fellow Winter and the Lost he didn't know and nodded at each respectively.

Lilian couldn't help but smile. That is exactly the kind of hospitality she is used of the Queen so far. "I would love that, thank you."

Katrin was rarely flustered but even the Winter Queen had to sit back and take stock as more Lost entered her usually tranquil shop, excusing herself to exit the shop to the back. Fortunately, she had refilled her lemonade supply recently, along with her vodka. When she re-enters, Katrin is carrying a tray with several empty, ice-chilled glasses and a jug full of cloudy liquid, which she places on the counter and begins to pour before offering them around. Sitting behind the counter, Katrin asks every changeling to take a seat somewhere, which seems easy enough as there seems to be many ornate pieces scattered here and there.

When all is settled, Katrin says, "I shall start by saying welcome to Sacramento, one and all. We offer you all a sanctuary, a place to move on with your lives following the trauma no doubt suffered at Thier hands, yes? All I ask for now is an introduction from each, a little information of yourselves and, perhaps, as an icebreaker," she says with a smile, taking a sip of the crisp, fresh lemonade, "an interesting fact no-one could possibly know. Perhaps I should start, yes? I am Katrin Byeli, I have been the Queen of thr Silent Arrow here in Sacramento for too many years now, and at one time, I was an accomplished ice dancer having the privilege of performing at the Olympic games."
