Magatha looked away into the distance. " Yes, the young Queen bears a difficult burden, both within and without. Turmoil rages around her, and yet she must remain a rock for us all, or the kingdom, and what is left of our kind, will fall into obscurity. " Magatha lays a hand on Rayko's shoulder. " The queen bears many burdens for us, freeing us to bear our own. You do well to remember that she wants her people to be happy, and that in worrying about things you have no control over, you do yourself great injustice. You must learn to let go! " Magatha gazes into Rayko's eyes, searching.
Rayko appreciated the value of her words and took them to heart.
Vivian managed t smile a bit, then curtsied back, without saying anything. After a few seconds she inquired quietly "How are you?"
"I am quite well, thank you for asking. How does the day find you, my lady?" Rayko asked politely.
