Isaura
Plainly, her sister and Legolas are itching to leave and she is the cause for their delay in departure. Watching their evasive looks, she sighs inwardly ~ Must I always take the burden of the world upon my shoulders? ~ If all that had been said was true - that she was indeed the older of two genuine princesses, then she owed it to her dead parents to assume leadership of the kingdom.
What if it were not true?
Well, then... if I were not a real princess and Sorsha was the one, she will bear the guilt forever. ~ Walking towards Sorsha ~ And if Sorsha and I were both not princesses, then... it would hardly matter which of us took over the rulership. ~ She has reached the waif and her lips part.
Softly, she speaks ~ "Leave if you wish, Sorsha and Legolas. It is obvious why you stay against your wishes, and I..." ~ Voice trembling and unnatural ~ "I will do my best to uphold justice in... our... kingdom." ~ Gently shoving them a little ~ "Go on, before I change my mind."
