Someone better get on their knees

lucas please allow me to introduce myself Whether it was intended as an insult or not, that Edrei hadn't deigned to tell the queen about this secret little place said volumes to Lucas. The first real smile of the evening curled across his lips, and he removed his hand willingly from the box as she opened it. Glancing into it, the fact that she went to singe the note he'd aeroplaned inside was more than forgiveable. "Oho," he said, chuckling and tilting his head at Edrei. "You are quite the good luck charm, my dear," he said. "You weren't wrong, but now you might be." And he was well aware that he was being cryptic on purpose. Just like a certain fire-mage that he knew. "Perhaps we aren't plotting a takeover down here. But perhaps we are doing business that the general populace might find... unsavoury. Would the queen's Left Hand degrade herself to be involved with such a thing?" He grinned.
