Jakub watches her as she gives a breathy response and a laugh that holds and tickles the air before her attention is pulled from their conversation. Another stallion joins them pulling close to her in familiarity what and honor then, to have and audience with someone as divine as Leliana.
Jakub didn't know what to expect in conversation from this stallion. He had assumed maybe it was just a man who had been bolder than he, given courage to do out of the ordinary things when the feathers had adorned his hide and talons sprung from his hooves. These words, however, had swirled inside Jakub's head to the point where he was nearly dizzy with confusion.
This mare infront of him was in fact hes Queen, conversation had in fact hurt someone, and now he would mentally retreat like a dog with its tail between his legs.
Jakub's composure did not break , like he was sure it would. Nor did his attention leave Leliana's face but only for a minute as the stallion introduced himself as Vulgaris and asked Jakub who he was.
Leliana pulled close to Vulgaris and Jakub's heart ached against his will. He knew nothing could come from this encounter as soon as Vulgaris had disclosed that she was in fact Leliana. With his attention now returned to Leliana he could see the joy and untethered love in every crevous of her beautiful being.
Jakub nodded as Leliana explained there was no need to disclose his identity, maybe that would be for the best no harm done. He didn't want to leave on a note of self pity though.
Turning to a near by arch of blood red daisies he gently lipped and plucked a single bloom. His long, lean neck dipped to place the flower at Lelianas feet, a small placeholder for when he left. A symbol of his loyalty and willingness to serve.
As he retreated his midnight blue, bronze flecked eyes lingered for only a minute, "My queen " he said gently with a nod of his head. "Pleasure to meet you, Vulgaris" he said pulling himself to his full height, the flecks in his eyes slowing to a stand still as he took in the stallion before turning and moving on.
He had a job to do for Leliana and this party had only gotten in the way. He made his way back towards the portal stopping under the entry arch that could of only been made by Leliana herself, a small smile tangled his lips as he peered back towards the pair, her flowers reflecting across his bronze armour. He stepped through and was gone.
