"Please raise your head, Protector of Rouen. Your efforts to protect the town were..."
The Queen glanced up at the objects forzen mid-air. "...dutifully noted."
"It is an honour to be praised by the Queen of Alakarans for my effort in relieving such a...disaster." Adil's stern eyes peeked down at the collar around the 'doggie', before facing the Queen's violet gaze once more. "I only wish for the fairest and most generous blessings upon the destroyed Rouen."
"That you will, Lady Adil." Elsara didn't miss the request for 'compensation' implied, unfortunately, she had no plans to play along.
"I also expect a sufficient explanation behind the scenes in my office, Lady Adil. I'm sure the carefully stoic protector won't remiss any details for mere trinklets." The Queen petted Alice who huffed and looked away. "But I'm open to more discussions, particularly regarding your plants that survived the harsh...winter by our puppy."
