Ravenwaves smoothed her gown and waited for Strongheart to come fetch her. She had waited for a long time for him to have acknowledge what everyone had been thinking - that they were a perfect match since both had dark hair and were rather rich (well, he'd be rich once again after he married her - of course, he didn't need to know that it was her family that nearly ruined him so this union could happen).
She rose and slowly began to pace the floor when he failed to show. Biting her lower lip, she began to wonder - had he meet *her*? That disgusting little peasent girl, what was her name, Celise? She gritted her teeth - she didn't know what he saw in her - after all, she was just sister of his squire, not something he should be consorting with.

Strongheart did not want to be here, when was Ravenwaves going to understand that he had absolutely no interest in her? Spotting Ravenwaves pacing ahead his manner's kicked in and he strode into the room. "My Lady, lovely as always."

Ravenwaves dipped into a small curtsy and offered him a "sincere" smile. "Thank you for having me," she said, rising slowly and blushing prettily at the compliment. She glanced about and hid a small smug smile that his shadow - both shadows to be exact, the squire and the little peasant female - that weren't in sight.

"Always a delight to see you, My Lady." Strongheart said, with a bow to the Duchess. "May I offer you something to drink?" Strongheart asked, remembering his manners even if he wanted nothing more to do then give Ravenwaves to Jules's siblings, more specifically the twins.

"Thank you," she said politely. "So, I take it you've heard what our parents have been discussing?" she asked, arching a delicate eyebrow.

"No I can't say I have." Okay so he had but right now he was hoping that if he ignored it then it would just go away. "This way." Strongheart said offering her an arm to lead her down the hall to the sitting room.

Ravenwaves tooked the offered arm and let him lead her to the sitting room. "I daresay that I'm a bit surprised. After all, your parents and mine have only been discussing our wedding since our last meeting."

OCC: Marriage to prevent war or the cursing and thus disappearance of the Prince cause the war?
"Oh you mean that, What's to discuss about that?" Strongheart asked, he was not going to marry Ravenwaves and that about covered it.

OOC: option two
"Well, for starters, there's the date of when it's to happen, where it's going to happen, and hundreds of other decisions about the wedding. Unless you want it to be a complete disaster."

"Complete disaster now that sounds like it might be fun. Unfortunatly it's not going to happen that way. I'm not going to marry you." Strongheart informed Ravenwaves in a matter of fact tone.

Ravenwaves paused, clearly at a loss for words - a rarity. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Complete disaster now that sounds like it might be fun. Unfortunatly it's not going to happen that way. I'm not going to marry you." Strongheart repeated what he said word for word. "Why should I marry you? Even if it's for the good of the kingdom, your not good for the kingdom."

"How can you say that?" she asked, clearly dumbfounded. "Suppose I *am* good for this kingdom. Besides, do you care that little for your people that you won't marry me in order to help them?"

"Because you bring money? It takes more then wealth to be good for the kingdom and after having seen parts of Tangleland your not going to be good for this kingdom."

Ravenwaves gritted her teeth - outraged. "Well, then, if *I* can't have you, then no-one will." With that, she turned sharply on her heel and stormed out of the room, shouting to her parents to come, that they were going home. But she was going to make one stop at that old witch's place to have her curse Strongheart.
