A hooded figure in the Great Hall

[Raven Credale]

In the quietness of the Great Hall, after the reconstruction had been finished and what had possibly felt like a lifetime. A woman clouded in a heavy cloak stepped with brisk, graceful, yet quiet steps. Hung around her neck was an old possibly now forgotten sigil of the Gargoyles that swung a bit with her steps. She paid no mind to those in the building, and simply looked around before her covered gaze caught sight of a painting. She stepped towards it and evaluated the work before placing a gentle hand over the signature. Her voice was quiet as she spoke, a gentle tug at her lips in what may have been a smirk.

"So they finally hung it up huh...Times have changed since I was here last. Best to keep it that way."

And just as soon as she appeared, the hooded woman was gone. Any who would have sensed her Ki would notice it for a split second across Cormyr before it ultimately vanishes without a trace once more. However one thing was left behind in front of the painting, a single Amethyst Origami Tiger.

Ever the one to delve into the older records for one reason or another, Mynian came through the door from the side offices in the Great Hall. She would have continued on to her own office had the brief glimpse of color upon the ground hadn't caught in the corner of her vision. Ever skittish without a guard in view, she turned and backed away a step, a hand drifting to the top of her boot, until she saw the small figure in front of the painting.

Curiosity overwhelming her caution, she walked over to the front of the painting titled Hour of Tranquility. Stooping to get a better look at the amethyst colored bit of folded art she paused long, eyes flitting between it and the painting. A memory clicked and she gently picked up the little tiger figure, standing to look at the signature at the corner of the paining.

Mynian had commissioned Aella more than a year ago to make the painting. However, she never saw Aella after she'd paid for the commissioned piece. Mynian simply found it the painting propped up within the Great Hall with no note or anything attached.

A small sigh escaped her lips and she uttered looking at the tiny purple tiger, "Told yeh me'd get it put up in tha Great 'all once it were done. 'ope yeh doin' aright. One o' these days the city will look loik yeh painting. Peaceful ... prosperous."

Taking the origami piece, Mynian turned away, intent on finding a shelf in her office to put it on.

".. one o' these days ... aye ..."
