when he assured his high lord he would learn what he could of the summer court through the younger lady, alistair had not factored in taking an immense liking to the nerina nor this ever growing attracting he felt towards her. he was not a hard man to please, but forming attachments romantically had never been something he excelled at, reiterated in his years of becoming involved with women, he had yet to settle down. while that had never been a priority simply because he enjoyed his freedom, every so often he wondered what it felt like to have another waiting for him after a long day. the commander wondered if he would ever know a love like that, and as a man who did not entertain cynicism, he had kept his mind open to the possibility. he did dimly wonder if his best friend would object to his growing fondness for the high lady's younger sister.
it was to no surprise that alistair once more was in the company the pretty, and rather cheeky younger summer lady. he had found that all of them stuck to the familiars they had befriended outside of their family, and they had all the more reasons to put their minds together and learn what they could. one of my many excuses the commander had to be near nerina. just an hour prior he had shown up at her room announced, persuading her to explore the city of this court. in doing so both, learning what he could but in the same breath spending time with her. "i am surprised you haven't tried to befriend one of those dragons yet." he teased as they walked down a path of shops, his gaze idly checking to see if they came across any book shops since the lady beside him enjoyed those. he had no vested interest in going near the creatures, but it wouldn't hurt to learn more of them, given the way they kept an eye on the new faces. "or ride one." he tossed a moment later. "my offer is still on the table, should you find yourself frightened you're welcome to my bed."

alistair was a man who loved surprises, a man who had always a wild streak, surprises went hand in hand. however, this was one perhaps he was the most conflicted about. not so much that they were in an unknown place, but rather the fae around them that had been on their own, never had mingled with any of the other existing courts. were he a man not responsible for a court, after his high lord, he'd perhaps appreciate their surroundings more. now, the commander of the day court was not suspicious by nature, he believed in giving others the benefit of doubt, it is for that reason he'd wait to make an opinion on this court or it's faes. it was just a bit concerned they had no idea where they were in prythian precisely. where they near the solar courts? the middle somewhere between the seasons? or near the capital? thoughts that he'd store for later to speak to ced with, and as he awoke just awhile back in the gardens, his eyes surveyed the sky. the rather stunning looking creatures that dominated the dusky sky. his attention pulled when he heard footsteps, and when he caught the flash of that familiar raven hair, he appeared beside the younger lady of summer. "tell me how one ends up awake in the middle of a garden." alistair dusted the dirt off his shirt before his dark gaze inspected nerina, "are you well?"
