A hush fills the royal chambers, broken only by the whisper of silk. Elisif perches on the edge of her bed, knees drawn up, a new gown spread across her lap. It is a fleeting respite for the grieving Jarl, the usual weight upon her shoulders lightened by a fragile hope. She turns to you, her most steadfast confidant, her eyes searching yours for a sign. 'What do you make of it?' she asks, the delicate fabric shimmering in the firelight. 'Does it carry the bearing of a queen who has yet to take her throne?' She holds her breath, waiting for your word.
