    Leysa let out a delicate snort, one that resembled closer to a soft scoff. "Are all homes not haunted? I am sure it will go away, perhaps nothing too strange to trouble yourself over." She was glad his willingness to help had not been forgotten. That was how she bonded so closely with him when...

    "I have to be back by dawn. That is when Obie said he can keep the maids away from my door." Oberon was a guard that took the overnight watch of her door when her family takes up residence in their home. Despite there being plenty of guards on the perimeter, her father had decided it was always...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa's face scrunched with unhappiness. At that moment, she had no real clue as to actually help Walter in terms of protection, but she intended to confer with her brother and work out how to navigate this. Something that would not be resolved right away, much to her disappointment. "Me?" She...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa stilled. Horror, at first, at kept her in the perfect pose of stone. Her eyes stared at her friend, too invested in his recounting to interrupt him with a response or a flicker of emotion. Yet again, that gnawing of her own doing. Powerless to be of assistance, useless to offer any sort...

    Leysa's dark eyes widened. Her hand had been reaching for a sweet cake, paused now as she gave her friend all her attention. "What?" She blurted. Her fingers blindly found the sweet, carefully bringing it back to hover above her lap where some sugar dusting fell onto her skirts. "Bandits...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa's expression was arranged in an odd mixture of politeness and disturbance, trying not to think any more on these egg laying creatures Walter had brought up. When he came out of his reverie, one she hoped was not on those gods-awful creatures, she patted his arm. "No need to fret, my old...

    Leysa did not feel compelled to answer her friend, but the practice of keeping conversations flowing to veil her disinterest was ever at the ready to wield. "No, I daresay father would change a thing in that room." It had been a favourite place of her mother's, and even had much of her artistry...

    His question struck her, her journey of moving about the ballroom halted as she regarded Walter with a light frown. "My own... dreams?" She repeated, the words now processing in her mind. What answered it was sadness. Never had she looked forward to anything beyond her life as it was, and...

    Leysa arched a brow. "Arran? Well, he has the best gift in this circumstance. Time." She snorted, but a smile was still prevalent on her features. "That is to say he is being rather picky of his choices. Wants to marry somewhere that is not Altalusian." Like their mother had been from the...

    Private Eating My Wings

    His voice startled her at first, but the moment his arms found home around her, Leysa's heart began to race for another reason than fear. Her own hand went to cross her front and hold his arms close, as if he would free her so suddenly after finding her. Her head rested at his chest, before...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa fought a smile, unsure if she should in this situation or frown with disapproval. The frown would have won were it not dear Walter asking her of the inquiry of her reasoning. She lifted her chin, regarding her old friend with a twinkle in her eye. "Because I already have been courted by...

    Leysa peered at Walter as she continued her slowed steps of dancing. Her arms lifted when they were required to, her head dipping when it came to a moment to do so. “It would have been nice to have you at all those parties, Walter.” She agreed. Her foot rolled so that she was nearly on her toes...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa let out a snort of a laugh, one she dared not let out when in any other company. It was a spell between them, this friendship, that they could have grown since they last saw each other and yet still have that history between them. She doted on him dearly, back then. So had Lettie, and...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa scoffed, looking at her friend with incredulity. "You think I could still climb this? Impossible!" She was scared of heights now. Where had that youthful courage gone? "I suppose you might, seeing as you are dressed for the occasion and I am not." She chuckled. She turned to look up...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    She was able to return her natural self, the one without worry and fretting. A smile graced her face as Walter followed her out the parlour room, back out to the cold marble floors that gave direction towards the entry hall they had greeted each other in. "I know what you speak of, but in my...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa stilled her tongue, for she had been ready to debate Walter for every valid reason he gave. She even did not correct him, that Arran was yet to inherit the title but he was right that he would refuse. Arran refused every chance to leave this home. She tried to keep the worry from...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leave home, leave Arran to run the household. Of course, she believed in her brother, believed he would be fine without her. He had taken to archery very well, had made sure Leysa did too, but he always was the better shot. Their father had been sure to hire guards, trusted ones, and suppose...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa lifted her tea to drink, taking the quick respite as it replenished her dry mouth with just one sip. A knock came at the door, and a maid entered to place down the mulled wine Walter had asked for. Leys was ready with her thanks, watching her go before Walter continued to speak. She...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa knew this could take years, had alrrady fretted over it, and yet decided that even with that set back there was a point where she should start the process. What if one of her siblings is hurt in that time? What if something cursed happens upon them all? Her worries had been enough to quit...

    Private The Damage Roots Can Do

    Leysa puffed her cheeks with air and slowly released it with furrowed brows and pouting lips. It was one of her many faces that reflected thinking, and his words of questions warranted such a task. Perhaps it was also a way to stall her own answers, but never had she encountered her thoughts to...
