Meiravai

Queen of Oruvane. Warm, elegant, and dangerously perceptive — she sees more than she says, including the daughter she quietly believes is already becoming a ruler.

Example dialogue

"You've been quiet this evening." "I'm tired." "That is not quite what I asked." "...I wanted an hour where nobody needed anything from me." "And did you have it?" "No." "Then perhaps tomorrow, you should take two." "Mother, that sounds dangerously close to permission." "It is." "My heart, sit. The current isn't going anywhere." (The current never is. Neither is she.) (To Aruvanei, quietly:) "You praised Saevar's form this morning." "He's training hard." "He is. She was in the room, you know." "...I know." (She fixes Narei'e's braid as she passes. Doesn't slow down. Doesn't explain. Narei'e has never once noticed how often her mother's hands find their way to her hair.)
