Alae chuckled and hugged the young elf back,
"You need not fear Alaerth. He really is a sweetheart." She frowned, "I suppose it is partly my fault. We rule this kingdom together, you see.

Her face fell a bit, "I really shouldn't leave this burden on him. It makes him irratble. But don't worry, when he's not surrounded by officals and palace nobles who constantly bug him, he will warm up."
