Lady Felyna

Felyna

Felyna was considering her options carefully these days. Enrizial just had not been the same lately, and even her flirting attempts had fallen short. Because she had made herself useful to Enrizial, however, she was seeing quite a bit of the Steward, Corowal, lately. She was making herself indispensable around the Hold lately, or trying to, and so perhaps she should practice her flirting on Corowal as well.
It wouldn't do to lose her skills, especially given her age. She needed to find a suitable husband, and soon. If Emerald Falls did not work out for her, she would have to leave.

And she did not want to leave. "Master Corowal?" She called, knocking on his door. "I've brought you some klah."

"Klah's always welcome, please get in," Corowal called. Felyna swayed into view, balancing the klah mug delicately. She set it carefully within reach, but not where it would spill on any hidework he was doing and smiled benignly. "Master Corowal. Freshly made." Her smile softened as she watched him work a bit. "May I do anything else for you?" She offered, without a trace of innuendo in her words, but still somehow managing to convey it with an uplifted brow. "Drop the Master, please. It makes me feel like I should glance behind me back to see if there's someone else there," Corowal said.

Felyna smiled to herself. One hurdle crossed. She turned toward him. "As you wish, Corowal." And she made his name sound like a thousand promises. "I see no one but you, and it is you that is keeping our Hold together lately. I spent hours with Enrizial, but he isn't the .. same..
" She said quietly. "Not knowing him before, I just have take your word for it," Corowal said, leaned backwards with relaxed pose and gave her one of his charming smiles. Felyna responded warmly, her entire face lighting up, this time in a more obvious flirtatious look. "I ..knew.. him well, Corowal. I should like to know you, too. Hmmm? I was a great help to him, and can offer you all the same services." Absently, Corowal pondered wich kind of services they were. He had already dug out the little secret of Enrizial's bastard daughter. "All help is appreceated," he said.

Well, that was one service Felyna had -not- provided, despite wanting to desperately. But Corowal would do just as nicely, at least for some practice. She had been lonely for quite some time. "Poor Enrizial.. "
She murmured. "I helped him find the truth out about his wife, although it might have been better if he hadn't ever known." She said it almost to herself, then turned her attention back to Corowal. "Are you hungry, Corowal?" She smiled at him, after having dropped that interesting piece of gossip. "Not quite yet. I had a luch two candlemarks ago," Corowal replied, carfelly observing her. She intrigued him. She clicked her tongue and leaned forward a little, showing off a bit more skin than was 'proper'. "Your wife should take better care of you, letting you eat so late.." She smiled all the while, though, appearing very ready to take care of him. "My wife has hard time with her pregnancy," Corowal said with serious tone. There were things he didn't take lightly. His tone also carried a little hint of warning: Leave my wife out of this. Properly chastened, or at least appearing to be, Felyna was quiet a moment, then nodded. She curtsied to him. "That must be worrisome for you both. I will look in on her, if you don't mind." She was abruptly very business-like, knowing she pushed him as far as she could today. "She would appreciate the company, I'm sure," Corowal replied, ** or not.** He added to himself. She was just the type of person that make Ofelia feel insignifigant, ugly and awkward. Well, he couldn't shield her from all hardships of live and she had to learn to know the ladies of their new home. Ahh, but Felyna was very good at being the sweet, gentle ladies companion. As his wife would later report. "If you'll excuse me then, Mas.. " She paused and smiled briefly.
"Corowal. I will see if I can make her more comfortable." She turned from him and headed to his door, not even exaggerating her walk as she had when she arrived, but still no doubt lovely from behind. Corowal did notice that her backside was as attractive as frontside. As she left his office, she considered her plan. He would be harder than Enrizial, although that great man had never laid a hand on her in an improper fashion. She had known he wanted to, though. She smiled, and if anyone had seen, they would not have recognized that look on sweet, helpful Felyna's face. In the meantime, she needed to see to his wife as she'd promised. With one warm look back over her shoulder, she headed for the women's quarters, humming softly.
