She nodded to him when he mentioned that he would be grateful for the hospitality. That was just who Rexanna was – a generous soul, having lived through some dark times in life and trying to be a better person because of it. She appreciated that Jigano was a thankful person for it. Long before finding Caido she had become used to being used in that regard. While she didn’t mind and didn’t say much during that time as she was more focused on saving her own life, things here had been a fresh start. For the most part, everyone tended to look after one another.
As she spoke of her story, and Jigano repeated Asciend’s name on his lips she realized she hadn’t said what her own homeland was. But that would come later, during the explanations of more about the war over territory, as Jigano had put it, and her life after being married to the Prince of Asciend. They continued their walk while she spoke, nodding to him with a quiet awkward chuckle as he commented to her. “There certainly is.” She hummed to him, glancing to him briefly before they had made the short walk back to her home.
She opened the door and allowed Jigano in once again – discarding the bulk of furs she wore as she moved to her fireplace and swiftly began a fire with a piece of flint and a stone she had kept nearby. Once the fire in the fireplace began to spark and she tended to it, she stood up to keep an eye on it and to poke at it to get it going further. She looked back to Jigano with a small almost sad smile. “I did what any wife could do, tried to give him a child for a time hoping that perhaps it would make the questioning stop.” She began, shifting as she thought of how to put it.
“I never knew my true history, but on the day I realized I had gotten pregnant is the day the truth came out. A spy from my home in Halyven had been keeping an eye on me and had been captured. Unfortunately for me, it was one of the few that had been around since before I was born.” There was a quiet laugh, adding to the sultry tones of her voice. “As it turns out, the Queen of Halyven had an affair with her top general and I was the result.” She said, looking back to the fire and poking at it. “So only half royal.” She teased in an almost sad way.
