Mother Daughter Bonding Time (Open In-Between)

[Akirapryde]

Elironda waited for the two 'close' friends to end their conversation before speaking up. "I wouldn't be too harsh on your sister," she said as the word sister nearly caused her to become sickened. Gar acted like anything but a friend, let alone a sister. She almost felt sorry for Arwen and her misplaced loyalty. "What happened we done by design," she explained then paused. She wanted to allow a moment for tension to raise between before adding, "My design." She braced herself for what she expected from the hothead. "Did you think your plan had any chance of working. These are hobgoblins, their concepts of honor is not the same as yours. But you are too blind to see it."

"Did you not hear what your hostage said, they covet power through force of might. Sure you would have gotten your audience. And IF they didn't kill you, Arwen AND Kaleb would have been both enslaved. There would have been not respect of the king or this Kingdom. Because if he gave you want you wanted, he would have been assassinated for appearing weak before their hated enemy, Elves." She paused a moment before adding a stinging line. "Then again you have proven that this crown is more important to you than your friendships."

She wanted that review to sink in, "you damned me back at the temple for playing with Kaleb. You were more than able to face me. But when a real challenge is before you, you hung out by the fire with your hobgoblin friends singing and eating your fill. Even Kaleb realized the importance of the moment and acted." Eli held up her hand to be allowed to finish.

"No one knows second chances better then me," she said gazing defiantly in to Gar's eyes. "Look around you. These people fought for their freedom. Give them a chance and a natural leader will raise from their ranks. Help them form a structure and they will build an army. Hobgoblins have proven to be as arrogant as always. I don't suspect that the king will travel two days from his Throne to handle a simple slave revolt. These things happen, and often. It would make no sense for him to even care about this. But we can make him care. You will never get his crown while he is at his throne. That simply won't happen. But linking our goal to their goal we all can succeed," She spoke passionately.
