Master Of None

The pair moved towards the thrones that the queen and King had moved closer for tonight's events. They had not wanted their guests to need to move separately to greet them and since they had made their announcement, they knew that people would want to congratulate both of them. 

There was a guard that tried to keep Gil and Walker back but with a small nod from the king, they were allowed forward to a great deal of jealousy from the nobles. "Well, I wish I knew that you two would be in costume. I would have dressed myself up like I did when I was younger." The king appeared as if he enjoyed the costumes very much. 

"Oh, what are you talking about? We are in these brilliant harvest robes. Look at my dress, it is elegant and the best costume we could have asked for." The queen was of a different mind. They may not have dressed up like the nobles or the average citizen but she truly enjoyed the costumes that had been made for them. 

"I agree. They are very fitting for the season and I am sure that the ones who created them will be sought out as soon as the party is over." The compliment was not just for show. Walker believed that the person that made them would be plagued with orders for the same leaf print for months. 

"Congratulations on the announcement. It will be pretty cool to welcome a princess in to the kingdom while we are expanding and carving a new path. Just imagine, by the time she is old enough to understand there will be a whole new world for her to explore." Gil was uncharacteristically wise in his congratulation but it spoke volumes of his own hope for the future. He, more than anyone, was very excited for the city to come together. 

"Thank you two very much. We were thinking the same thing. When we first bring her there she will be the first to be able to call the city home. We will remain here but we hope that we can send her there for education." The king was expecting the city to be the best possible place for the future education of all the kingdoms. 

"Let's worry about coming up with a name before we start planning our daughters' education. You and everyone in this room are getting far far too ahead of yourselves." The queen was mostly joking since she was also very happy that there would be a bright and new place to send their daughter for the best education. 

"I guess we will need to work a little harder for the future then. A princess attending the city for education?" Walkers' light hearted joke was more serious than he realized. He and the others had not been focused on the fact that a lot of royalty and nobles would be sending their children to Genesis to learn and grow. The fact that an alchemy guild holding classes, adventurers guild, tamers' guild, and crafting groups would be there was just the start of the educational possibilities. Add on the Garnet family auction house and merchants' building and there was yet another boon for educational possibilities. 

"Ah, here come your other party members. Midnight looks all too adorable in that witch costume. But who is that girl next to her?" The queen was slightly curious about who was with Midnight, Onyx, and Su since she had not met Walkers' sister. 

"Lisa, come over here quick." Walker was excited to introduce another of his family members that he had not realized how nervous she might be. "This is my sister Lisa. She is the one who made the costumes we all wear. She made the witch costume that Onyx and Midnight wear. The dragon-kin pieces that were added to Su's armor. And she made the little bits and pieces to make Gil look like some archer assassin mix. Oh, and my fancy clothing. Plus, you might just see an angle roaming about from the tamers' guild." 

Lisa was bright red with the praise she was receiving and she just wanted to hide behind Walker. "Well, it is very nice to meet you, Lisa. I have indeed seen the angel roaming around and it is a very beautiful pattern. How would you like a job making some baby clothes of the same pattern?" Lisa's jaw dropped straight to the floor. She was almost completely stunned and could not answer. 

Walker nudged her slightly and with a little bow, Lisa was able to respond, "Yes my queen. I would be honored. I was experimenting with the fabrics that my brother brought home for me and replicated an imperfect pattern. If I am given a few months I will be able to give you clothing with runes sewn in. They can help with the health and growth if I can properly learn." The king and queen were surprised that the little girl was so accomplished that she was learning to add runes to the fabric as the elves did. 

"So, like brother like sister. Two amazing children of their own right within a family. I will have to step up a little. Lisa, you are welcome to visit our personal tailor and seamstress masters here in the castle once a week for some guidance if you would like. They have been lacking in apprentices lately and we have felt that they could use a little genius to assist them." The king had a slight smirk as Lisas' jaw dropped again. 

"Please, my sister needs a little time to absorb this. You two don't realize how powerful your words are." Walker tried to rescue his sister a little but the king and Queen just laughed a little more. 

After the pleasantries, Walker mentioned the additional elemental spirits around the kingdom and that they were responsible for the growth of the damaged fields. The king made sure that one of his attendants would post a notice for everyone to respect the spirits and that anyone who found they could communicate would gain certain benefits. It was overall a pleasant conversation before they were made to part ways for another noble group to come and speak with them.
