Never had she seen Luke so far from Whiterun castle before. Sylv-Ia knew he preferred to take a break now and again from his duties that bound him to the throne ever since he was 12, but it worried her with how distant he had become lately. Holding her staff close to her chest, she released a nasally sigh before heading towards the tree where she could see the young echidna resting against it in a meditative like state. "My Lord," she said softly, bending over just a bit in hopes her words would reach him.

Luke opened his icy-blue eyes and brought his head off of the trunk of the tree to look over at the high priestess he had chosen to protect him when he first took the throne of Whiterun in his grandfather's place. Seeing her there before him, a smile hooked upon his muzzle. That look alone was enough to make Sylv-Ia react to bringing her staff close to her chest to try and relax her rapidly beating heart. "Forgive me, my Lord, but it's getting late. You really should head back to the castle."

Looking out at the night sky, Luke rolled his shoulders with a playful smirk to the priestess. "You know, you don't have to keep calling me 'Lord', Sylv-Ia. You've known me since I was a little boy--uncertain of how to lead."

Sylv-Ia tilted her head to the side with her brow furrowing in confusion. "B-But, you'll always be my Lord to me."

The ruler's armor clanked a bit as he moved his hand slightly to show Sylv-Ia a dragon lily he had been hiding off to the side. "Perhaps you could think of me as something else?" He wondered aloud, offering the flower to the young woman.

faint The designs on the armor/attire about had me in a seizure. I don't know why I enjoy torturing myself this much, but I do. Also, I figured 'why do slender ladies get to show off their midsection more so than chubby ladies', so I ended up giving Sylv-Ia a two piece to show off her chubby tummy. I want to hug her tummy so badly. >3

Yup, Luke gets Whiterun when Sojourner retires. Since Luke is only 12 at the time when it happens, Kuro and myself decided to appoint Sylv-Ia as his high priestess (her being 16 at that time), and Remington becoming his captain of the guard, so for a little boy, he's more than protected. :P
