Like the artist she had once been, her pale eyes took in the surroundings. They decayed further and further. There wasn't a lot of help for it, but the decrepit surroundings still disgusted her. The emotion pointed at the reasons for this once majestic room's demise and disrepair. And the reasons for the apparent impatience of the lord that sat in front of her.
She swept a curtsy, making the movement natural and smooth. She'd been alive since the time such gestures had been apart of an education, even in peasantry. "I have searched far, delved deep into secrets unfit for the eyes of all but precious few. And the endeavor has proven fruitful, my lord. Your words and aid proved both infallible and and incomparable." She inclined her head, the nape of her neck exposed. She came before him as priestess, not warrior.
"The artifacts of each of your siblings have been gathered. The ritual necessary is created, and awaiting the performance upon the night that I have determined is optimal. The eleventh hour of the solstice. The longest night." She took a deep breath, regretting the action once done, the scent of the decay invading her nose.
The woman knelt on her knees elegantly, sitting absolutely straight. Wrapped in midnight silk, the small object that had been retrieved was cradled in her hands. "My diligence has been rewarded. The final and most precious of objects has been retrieved, that it might please you to have it returned. My lord might wear it as I would call him forth and part the chains that keep him imprisoned." It hadn't been needed, but Aska was and had always been an overachiever in her service to a deity.
She lifted her eyes, which until now, had been lowered in demure fashion to her hands, and the object in them. She did not look him in the eye, and would not unless invited to do so. That misty lavender gaze looked at a tapestry as she told him softly. "Your time draws very near, my lord. What may I do for you to prepare for your rebirth into this world? I would see to your comfort, if it might please you."
