Nora considered the man for a moment, her scrutiny going from him, to the various items in the room, and then back again. It seemed very clever, very intentive of him. It gave her a new perspective on the kind of person he was, willing to go above and beyond for what he wanted. She thought he'd make a very good knight, or even something more, if he wanted to one day.

Nora picked up the map that showed the expanse of Thendor's territory and grimaced. It was huge, and the terrain varied hugely across the territories. "How exactly did you get this map?" She asked, her voice trailing off into more of a hughed tone at the end. She eyed the doorway, the exposure in the woods making her feel slightly uneasy, even with the commander standing watch outside.

Nora turned to Alec once Eric left, her eyebrows raised and eyes wide. "Well, that was interesting," she said with a snort. "I kind of just want to talk about grey rainbows and purple pigs now, just to spite him..." Nora ran the tips of her fingers on the surface of the wooden table, listening to Alec light the fire. She turned, leaning against the sturdy table's edge as she observed him. She didn't think there was too much of a bite in the air, but she knew that it would cool down quickly. Best to get the fire started sooner rather than later.

"What diploatic mission? Who did you meet there?" The man had officially sparked Nora's interest. If he'd been there before, he might know information she wasn't privvy to. "Did you meet King Thendor? Do you know what he and his council are like?"
