Well, this certainly didn't seem like a realm on the verge of destruction, or apocalypse, or whatever such nonsense.
Unsurprisingly.
Dual toned eyes rolled in exasperation as the god strolled Seelie's main street. Obviously everything was fine, so he could just go back, but...something kept him from doing so, despite his exasperation. Perhaps because he had never actually seen Shilo quite that shaken up before. Not since...
...Well, regardless. He was curious as to why the aquatic nuisance suddenly couldn't access Seelie. Might as well see what he could learn.
"Excuse me, good sir? Could you tell me, by chance, if His Majesty Camhlaidh is available at present? I am Kolya, patron deity of the realms Ivasso and Malusso. If it helps, you may assure him that my business here is intended to be brief, so I would not be taking up any significant amount of his time."

The weather had become unseasonably cool in Seelie as of late, evidenced as the thicker armor worn by the guards posted at the gate of the castle. More and more odd denizens had been seen around the castle town thanks no doubt to Seelie reaching out towards other nations. 'Odd' by fae standards at least.
That was why when one such being stepped up towards them, asking for an audience and claiming to be a deity, the guards' expressions lightened with amusement, though they seemed to tense once they noticed the other's dual-toned eyes.
"The last time I checked, the king is not available to meet with any person from the street expecting an audience."
Just as the second guard opened her mouth, likely to shoo the stranger away, another voice called out.
"Oh there you are!"
Looking just beyond the stranger, the guards both suddenly stiffened and lowered their head into a formal bow. "Lady Deòireach!!"
An arm came to rest across Kolya's shoulder as Eilidh grinned at him, seemingly having just come up from the path behind on her own way into the palace. "It's been such a long time since I saw you last! I assume you are here about that meeting with the king? Are these guards creating an issue for you?"
Eilidh's galaxy-filled eyes glimmered at the guards with threatening mirth. "This person is my honored guest. Would you have me break the rules of hospitality by leaving my guest out in the cold?"
The guards rushed to bow again, and in one smooth movement the first signaled to a third to pull open the gate. "Our deepest apologies, Your Grace, that was not at all our intention!"
Her hand slid down her new companion's arm to wrap around his wrist, tugging him behind her as she flounced through the gate. "No problem! And thanks!" Stepping onto the path leading to the entrance of the palace. Tugging her cloak more tightly about her, she turned and smiled at the stranger.
"Are you really a deity? Why do you want to see Camhlaidh? What's your business with him?
