She accepted the chalice of wine with a bat of her long lashes. "I really shouldn't, Lord Gravesbane. My mother would never approve."

"Nonsense, my dear Elonia," the nobleman answered. "You are ten-thousand years old. I'm sure your mother would forgive you for indulging just this once."

She giggled. "It's not the wine, my lord. Rather, it's the notion of a nightborne spending her evening in the company of someone so..."

"Charming?" he offered.

"I was going to say decrepit."

He approached and bowed, hastily kicking aside the kneecap that clattered to the floor. "I am Lord Crispin Gravesbane, at your service. Do I have the honor of meeting Lady Marina?"

A faint blush flashed across Lady Marina's cheeks. "You flatter me, my lord." Her voice softened. "It has been centuries since anyone has mistaken us for siblings."

"Nonsense!" he insisted, taking her hand and guiding her toward the couch. He sat down between the two indigo-skinned elves. "Perhaps after we share a bit of wine, we'll find out what else you and your daughter have in common."

"Oh, Lord Gravesbane!" Marina swooned. She took Elonia's hand, sharing a furtive smile with her daughter. "Perhaps it's time we introduced you to the true secrets of the shal'dorei."
