Despite growing, she was still rather petite, despite her rather ample form. Of course anyone could testify she was far from weak, and even with the need for her to be more rigid in her formality, she still tried to keep an air of accessiblity. She never thought of herself as above others, and certainly didn't want others to believe it either.
Blinking a moment, the name registered in the back of her mind. Her father had cheered whenever news came through of good deeds being done in the name of justice, and Amelia shared the sentiment. If she was still a teenager, she would have been gleefully beaming at Flynn, praising his noblity and work towards a good cause. Of course, that wasn't possible, and no doubt inappropriate, though she still gave off a rather warm and friendly aura despite the formal restrictions.
"Your reputation proceeds you sir, and please don't worry, you haven't called at a bad time. I try to be open to any and all who need to see me." she replied, smile still in place and she moved around stand beside him at the window. "So, if there's anyway I can sate your curiosity, do let me know."
"I didn't think I had done anything a normal person wouldn't have done." Flynn smiled down at her as she took a place by his side at the window. He continued to look down at the kingdom, his features relaxing as he stayed silent for a moment just watching the sun set, and also the way that things seemed to be going on below in the streets. Everyone seemed happy, and that was a good thing.
Unlike the huge political and economic struggles of his own land, Flynn felt that if he had Yuri had been brought up in a place like this, then maybe things would have been a little more peaceful. The other wouldn't have had to take on so many burdens, and Flynn could have grown up truly giving everything to the people. Even more so than he did now.
"It's beautiful, and I think you've really sated my curiosity anyway. I just had to come see for myself what the ruler of Seyruun was like up close." He found he hadn't been disappointed either. She was a beautiful and polite young woman.
"It's still a rare way of acting in the name of good, and a most valiant one." she replied, honest in that opinion considering how she herself felt on such matters. It would likely be quite surprising to Flynn however, to find out that the woman before him used to climb to great heights to shout proclamations of justice before beating up bandits on the open road.
Granted, the kingdom had gone through some strife, but had always picked itself up again. Structures could be rebuilt, but people were irreplacable, so that value had seen some damage done, oddly enough by certain sorceress friends of the Queen while trying to protect it, but the spirit of the city remained strong.
"Well I can't take that much credit for this, I've only been in charge for a few years now. My father and grandfather established much of what you see, I've just been doing best to maintain it for them." she smiled back, glad to see that apparently, to the outside world, that Seyruun was being seen as it should have been, and what her family had worked hard to create; the white magic capital, a place of justice and peace.
It probably wouldn't have surprised him much, after all Estellise had ended up journeying with his friend and she had been a candidate for the throne before Ioder had been picked. Taking a soft breath he listened to her words, and then turned from the window. It was painfully obvious how much they really cared about this place, and that made his pulse beat a little quicker. Stepping away from the window, he sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I should probably get going since I don't have real business in the palace. However it was very nice to meet you." Part of him wanted to stay and talk with her more, but the other part of him knew that there was no reason for him to stay, so he turned back towards her.
"I do want to say that I have really been happy to see what your family has done and how these lands are maintained. It's what I wish that our lands had been like." Of course, they were doing what they could, and part of that was relationships with other kingdoms, however Flynn had just wandered doing good deeds.
If something came from it, then he was more than happy to report it, if not, Flynn Scifo was just being himself in the long run.
Naturally she was unaware of any such thoughts, but shared the sentiment of wishing there was more chances for them to talk. Since the advisors were much more strict and diplomatic in comparison to her justice loving self, it would have been nice to have someone around who shared in those ideals, if only for a little while.
Hearing him speak more added to that desire. Clearly he hadn't been so fortunate in his homeland, and she was curious to learn more. His appreciation for the way things were in Seyruun showed he was a noble individual, one she certainly would not mind getting to know on a less formal level. Without dwelling on that, she approached his back, speaking softly.
"You're more than welcome to stay if you like. It is getting rather late, so if you don't have any ready accomodation in town, I'm sure we could spare a room for the night." she offered, tone betraying some hope that she'd have someone to talk to for the evening.
