Tyrion stalked the halls of Her palace effortlessly. The guards stationed on the outer antechamber, regarded him with a curious look, parted ways, and continued their silent vigil. He made his way towards Her chambers. Tyrion rapt at the door. A soft velvety voice bade him "Enter."
Tyrion entered the room and bowed. "My queen," he pronounced with all the pomp and pander it was meant to infer. She waved a dismissing hand in his general direction and began with a hint of irritation. "Our People, lose faith," She began bluntly. Tyrion attempted to interject but She started again. "These past years I have weathered the loss of our magnificent Empire with grace, the destruction of one temple with scorn, the Resurgence with breathless interest and the construction of a new temple with reserved glee. Yet. . . something is missing." She rose from her bed and paced in front of Tyrion. He began to speak but was halted by his queens determinism to continue. "I am gladdened by our Peoples conviction and faith," she said resolutely and continued once more, "but they're progress is. . ." She paused and looked Tyrion directly in his eyes. Her gaze was loving but showed a tenacity that many men may have cowered from. He knew instantly what she desired. He met her steely resolve with understanding. "My queen," Tyrion bowed low to dismiss himself and began to make his preparations.
