#(( Rylenn captain of the imperial guard for decades and never takes a break: Nope. Not a clue who you're talking about ))

"A lot of noise this time around."

"Last minute additions and entertainment were added to distract from what happened with Navarro's tower."

Rylenn sits with his younger brother in quiet for the few moments of respite he was allowed, watching the festivities of the Aegis from atop the tallest tower at Valshera.

"...Can I ask you something?"

"...?"

Kallen plays with the lighter in his hand for a few seconds, recalling the woman he'd seen on the Aegis. Trying to remember exactly how she looked. Or anything significant about her appearance that he saw before she'd fallen and was whisked away by that winged nobleman.

"On the Aegis. Is there a woman with a prosthetic arm and leg?"

".....When were you on the Aegis? You know you're forbidden."

"Just answer my question."

".....I'm not certain I can recall anyone like that. If there is, it's likely a foreign visitor."

"I think....she was Cythonian...I remember markings."

"You know how the nobles like to play with make-up. Is there a reason you're asking? Will this be another conquest of yours?"

".....She was crying. I think I'm just curious about why, and if she's alright."
