She nodded. "We'll have some for you in just a moment. Would you like it in your room, or one of the dining rooms?"

"One of the dining rooms? Sounds like there's a lot to explore around here, I just might get lost in here later to entertain myself..."

Elexa laughed. "It is a castle, Faeylinn... a rather large one, at that. Getting lost is rather easy... and despite the light from the walls, the farther down you get, the harder it is to see. I'd prefer if you didn't go exploring... but at the same time, if you call my name anywhere in this castle, I will be able to find you, or ne of the servants will."

"Well, I'm not well known for listening to advice... Well, actually I'm not well known at all, but certainly not for that! Besides, a 'rather large castle'? Too tempting to resist!"

Elexa laughed. "You will make a good hero, Faeylinn... our worlds need more like you."
She placed a hand on Faey's shoulder. "You're very brave... I like that. But you need some training, as well... so, how about we both eat, and then I shall teach you skills to go with that bravery."

The smile faded off her face.
"I told you, I'm not really a hero. They think I am, I guess and brought me here, but I don't really have any qualities to be a hero. I don't like to fight, and I'm not brave, just reckless and I get bored easily. That doesn't make me a hero."

Elexa shook her head. "Maybe you are right," she said. "But you were brought here for a reason, and the world is a dangerous place these days. You should at least learn how to protect yourself... but I will not, and cannot, force you. Come... let's eat."
And she led the way to a medium-sized room with a large, round table. "This is the smallest dining room I have," she apologized. "Castles are meant to impress large amounts of nobles, not lone travelers from other worlds."
She snapped her fingers and a servant appeared from an alcove. After a few moments of hurried conversation, the servant left.

She shrugged and sat down at the table, slouching in her seat.
"Must throw one hell of a party."

Elexa looked shocked for a moment... then laughed aloud.
"Yes... yes, you could truly say that."
The servant returned with a plate of the meat Faeylinn had asked for, as well as a wine goblet filled with something too deep a red to be wine. She set the plate in front of Faey, handed the goblet to Elexa, bowed deeply, then left.

"Sweet!"
Faeylinn began to eat, taking a few bites and swallowing before iquiring,
"So how old are you anyway?"

Elexa's eyes flashed with amusement.
"It's not polite to ask... but, because you asked nicely... I've ruled Nerezza for the past hundred and thirty years."
Her smile was soft as she took a deep drink from the goblet.

She swallowed another bite and grinned.
"Wow, you must have one good plastic surgeon under your belt."

Elexa seemed confused. "Plastic... surgeon? What is that? Soemthing from your world that we do not have here..." She sipped some more of her drink.

She burst out laughing, taking a few deep breaths to calm herself before answering.
"A plastic surgeon is a surgeon who does operations to make someone look younger, prettier, etc... And mainly reserved for those who can afford them. Ergo, my bad joke."

Elexa chuckled. "What wonders you world has," she said. "As for myself..." she swirled her glass, "...this is the only 'plastic surgeon' I need."
