“Are you going to stay for long?”

“I don’t know.  I may.”

“Are you a knight?”

Rowan stared a moment as the girl sat in the yew throne, yet nothing disastrous seemed to befall her.  The elf still did not trust the golden wood though.  “I was once, yes.  A member of Queen Titania’s personal guard.”

Faeryn cocked her head curiously.  “Who’s Queen Titania?”

Rowan smiled slightly.  “She is – she was my queen.”

“What happened to her?”  The girl took another sip from the canteen.

“Nothing happened to her,” the elf replied, somewhat amused.  “She is still Queen.”

Faeryn wrinkled her nose in confusion.  “Then why did you say she was your queen?”

The smile fell from Rowan’s face.  “Because I no longer serve her,” she muttered.

“Why not?”

The elf turned away and did not answer.  She tried to drive the thoughts out of her head from when Oberon disgraced her.  Her back stung at the memory.  “It’s…a long story,” she said finally.  She continued when Faeryn opened her mouth to speak; “One I don’t want to get into.”

 

@erynne Dominic sounds very interesting, though Rowan’s not one to go down easily.

@hannahrenner Can you explain the Warning and Message to me?

@this-is-not-an-alien Feel free to have Faeryn keep asking questions.  Rowan saying she doesn’t want to talk about it doesn’t mean Faeryn can’t keep pestering her.
