His hurried footsteps came back into earshot of the princess and her companion with timely aplomb. Elfglass and fine porcelain clattered as he emerged from the last stretch of the rise, but not one thing spilled or fell off in the hasty manuevers. And no sooner had he made the last of the stairs, did Folainluc raise higher the silver tray he brought and unfolded wheeled legs from under it, setting it on the floor so he could simply push it. The wheels made no sound as the set of delicacies and refreshments was brought to them, but the knight had to pause when it came the time to look upon them, and smiled with due consideration a second later.
"Here we are, my ladies!" He said, bringing the tray to a halt. A colorful grouping of desirable snacks stood out for them, such as delicate, sugar-sprinkled treats like flower petals, grape-sized fruits by a bowl of fluffy cream, flat, caramel-colored biscuits, tea of a blend exclusive to making of the Houses of Endien, and a honeyed, refreshing nectar drink in a crystalline container.
Not willing to stop there, he pulled chairs along for each of them before beginning the conversation proper as he inquired with his eyes how to begin plating their choices. "So, Miss Thorra, I am given to understand you played a rather flashy part on the walls! Before anything else, though I'm certain the princess has already impressed upon you the significance of your deeds, please, accept my thanks in looking out for our soldiers. Any one life your contribution saved means more than I can express."
He managed with no small effort to not gawk as he addressed her.
Lirazel
The princess, at least, was sparing Folainluc from having cause to gawk at her own royal perfection for any length of time. Lirazel was wrapped in a fresh cloak, and pulled Thorra up with her previously offered hand so that they might sit properly in the chairs her friend had provided for them. "I would chastise you for your humility had I not known better." After a moment she snapped her fingers off to the side to draw Folainluc's eyes away from the demigoddess' naked form while helping herself to this breakfast.
"It looks wonderful as always, Folain. Which of course means I'm just waiting for the subtle jape at my expense which inevitably lurks within."
