[Pinkie]

Elvara almost wanted to smack Zek for not even addressing her father with words. She sighed a little before the kings words broke into her mind "Well then. It seems the trip has been long but eventfull" He said slightly "So now Elvara if you please excuse us and head to your chambers for rest. I would like to speak with this young lad" He said motioning down to the still bowed Zek.

"As you wish father" She said before standing and bowing once more leaving the room. Elvara knew that she was going to hear about this from Zek later with something along the lines of 'How could you leave me in there alone!' Elvara smiled at that thought as she made her way to her chambers.

Still inside the room the kings gaze still locked on Zek before he stood and walked down the short steps to where Zek knelt. "Stand and come with me son I want to show you something" With that the king turned and began to walk down the room till he came to a painting. The king knew that Zek would not go against his command so when he reached the painting he spoke.

"This my son is a painting of the former king and my father" He said motioning to the picture. It was a standard painting. The king standing behind the queen who sat in the chair with the prince perched at her feet. Though the painting was ordenary there was something different about it. The queen was not a pure drow queen. Lighter skin and bright blue eyes greated him "My mother..." The king said 'Was a halfling but a queen non the less" He said before turning his head 'A mans blood dose not tarnish his worth"

The king knew exactly what had taken place between Elvara and Zekrak it was something he saw comming the moment his spy came and gave information on Elvaras mission. "I have waited a long while for someone brave enough to put up with her" He said before turning to look at him "Dont disapoint me" Was all he said before dismissing Zek and watching him leave out the door with orders of a gaurd to take him to Elvaras chambers.
