Characters: Corowal, Aillor
Description: Corowal is attracted.
Location: Emerald Falls Hold
Date: month 3, day 12 of Turn 8
Notes: Mentioned: Felyna

Corowal watched from the second floor balcony when she walked down the
stairs. How her hips swing at the rhythm of her steps. She was lovely.
Light-brown hair was lifted up to an elegant bun on the top her hair. He
knew that her eyes were blue with touch of green, even if he couldn't see
them now. She was Felyna's new lady-in-waiting, minor member of Beryl
Plain's Blood and daughter of old friend of his. Ailda, even her name was
like music.

He could vividly remember when he first saw her. She had came to visit
Emerald Falls Hold's Turnover Gather with her father, Captain Aillor.

~*~ flashback ~*~

"Corowal, you old scoundrel, so nice to see you. It's been too long!"
Aillor bounded his back in way that was going to leave bruises.

"Aillor, you old sea-canine. Welcome to Emerald Falls hold," Corowal
replied and answered the bear-hug. He couldn't quite match Aillor's bone
crushing. Aillor had always been stronger.

"It's a high time you came to visit. How long it's been? Over three Turns?"
Corowal asked.

"About that time, yes," Aillor replied. "And you've become a Lord Holder, "
he clicked his tongue.

"A position, if I remember correctly, you've been avoiding like Plague."
Corowal grinned.

"I love the seas. Rahlor can keep Beryl Plains for all I care," Aillor
shrugged. "Now, introduce me you your family. Sharding shame I missed your
wedding. I was stuck at Nerat's port at that time."

"Of course," Corowal turned to held out his hand to his wife, ready to
introduce her. Then he noticed the young woman who was following Aillor.
She seemed to be in early twenties. "I see you brought company too."

"Yes, do you remember my daughter, Ailda?" Aillor said.

She gave Corowal a perfect curtsy. She was perfect, even with her father's
prominent nose.

"Shards, she's grown. Last time I saw her, she was just a little girl."
Corowal had felt instant..allure towards her.

~*~

And she had stayed, joined Felyna's court of ladies. Aillor har returned
back to his ship after the Turn's Begin. Corowal had since learned that
Ailda was young widow, who needed a fresh start in a place that was not
marred with memories. Corowal's eyes sparkled. He was married man, but he
never had let that stop him before. She seemed like a challenge, and
Corowal enjoyed challenges. He fleetingly thought that Aillor might not
like the idea of Corowal going after his daughter. But Aillor wasn't here.
She was.
