"My Queen, please stop laughing, I am still so confused" said Nora as she looked at Wura with a puzzled expression on her face.
"Oh Nora, I am so sorry, this is just so golden that I cannot help but laugh" said Wura.
"Is everyone playing a joke on me or what?" asked Nora.
"No Nora, not at all, alright let me explain" said Wura as she cleared her throat in order to stop herself from laughing.
"Well the thing is that Mero came to see me earlier today, and we spoke for a bit and I noticed that he was hiding something behind his back, and I asked him what it was, and he reluctantly showed me that they were beautiful white tulips" said Wura.
"I mistaking believed that they were for me, but he told me otherwise, they were apparently for someoen else, but when I asked him who, he refused to tell me" said Wura.
"So now, imagine my surprise and laughter when you tell me that he gave you flowers" said Wura as she laughed.
"My Queen, I was scared, and confused, he came to you room, and I thought that he was looking for you, but he said that he was not, and then we spoke a bit and then he handed me the flowers, which I thought were beautiful" said Nora.
"I thought that they were for you my Queen, but Mero immeadietely frowned and told me that they were for me, and that flipped my head upside down" said Nora as Wura laughed.
"I could not accept the flowers my Queen, my head was turned upside down, I did not know why Mero would give me flowers, and I still do not know why" said Nora.
"Wait Nora, you called Mero, Mero" said Wura.
"Yes my Queen?" said Nora as she nodded.
"You did not call him Sir Mero like you used to" said Wura.
"Well because my Queen, he asked me to call him Mero some time ago" said Nora as Wura laughed.
"Oh this just keeps on getting better and better" said Wura as she laughed.
"My Queen, please stop laughing, I am still very confused" said Nora as Wura laughed.
"Alright Nora, all right so tell me what did you do after he said that they were for you?" asked Wura.
"Well I was shocked to say the least, and I told him that I could not accept them, but he told me to please take them" said Nora.
"What did he say when you asked him why he gave you the flowers?" asked Wura.
"My Queen, he said something along the lines that I deserved them" said Nora.
"Oh I am very surprised" said Wura.
"My Queen, I feel perplexed, I do not understand anything" said Nora.
"Well Nora, according to what my mother always used to say, the only reason an unmarried man would give an unmarried woman flowers is for a reason you and I are both well aware of" said Wura.
"My Queen, no" said Nora.
"Yes Nora, yes, it is as if Mero likes you" said Wura with a giggle.
"No my Queen, I am sure that you are mistaken, that cannot be true" said Nora as she shook her head.
"Nora, let us be honest, we are both women here, and flowers are a type of gift, and men only give gifts to women that they are interested in, and that seems to be what is happening here" said Wura as Nora could not believe her ears and she shook her head.
"Tell me Nora, do you like Mero?" asked Wura with a smile as she took things gently, she could see that Nora was having a hard time processing what was going on.
"No my Queen, not in the way that you like, I do admire him, he is a courageous man, intelligent, a quick thinker, but I do not like him like that, I cannot imagine liking him the way that you think" said Nora.
"Well you seem to admire him quite a lot Nora" said Wura in a teasing tone as Nora groaned.
"My Queen, it is not what you think, even though, I have to admit that he is indeed handsome, he can be charming when he wants to be, and when he smiles genuinely, I was so surprised to see his smile for the first time" said Nora as she smiled.
"Oh you love him smile?" asked Wura in a teasing manner as Nora covered her face with her hands and shook her head, this was just too much for her.
"Alright Nora, be honest with me, tell me everything that you feel from beginning to the end, let us sort this out" said Wura as Nora nodded.
"My Queen, I have always admired Mero, although I found him very scary at first, he was cold, he did not seem to want me around and I was scared to talk to him or look at him in the eyes, but when you were captured by the giants I did not care about that at all, I was more than ready to slap Darla for what she did, but he controlled me and made sure that I did not do anything rash" said Nora.
"And then he was always there, I believe we became somewhat closer because we were always worried about you, and I looked up to him for answers since he was the leader, and he was always in control" said Nora.
"Alright that is what you admire about him, but tell me what do you feel about him as a person, and not as a knight, or anything else" said Wura.
"That is the thing my Queen, I cannot say, I do not know him that well as a person, and I doubt that he knows anything about me, which is what made me so confused when he suddenly gave me flowers" said Nora.
"Then get to know him more, and I am sure that he will soon get to know you more" said Wura.
"I am not sure if I am ready for that my Queen, I honestly do not know what to think about all of this" said Nora as she sighed.
"Nora, you do not need to think, just tell me what your heart is saying?" asked Wura as she smiled.
"My Queen, I know that I have stated this a lot, but I really admire Mero, I really do, but…" said Nora as she took a pause.
"But what?" asked Wura as she smiled.
"But I am not sure if that admiration can turn into something else…" said Nora.
"Oh Nora, I love you are honest with me and yourself" said Wura as she smiled.
"My Queen, I know that I will soon be expected to get married, and men do not even look my way, which makes me worried about everything and the future, but I am not going to be as desperate enough to just accept any offer that comes my way, I want to marry for love, that is my greatest wish" said Nora as Wura smiled.
"And your wish will come true Nora, I am sure of it, you are a wonderful person and you deserve someone as wonderful as you" said Wura with a smile.
"Thank you my Queen, really, but tell me what are your opinions about Mero, you know him more than I even could" said Nora.
"Well Nora, Mero is a very honourable man, he is kind hearted, even though he does not show it, and he cares for the wellbeing of others" said Wura.
"He is a good man, who also deserves a good woman to make him happy" said Wura with a smile.
"And if I am being honest with you Nora" said Wura with a smile as she held Nora's hand's in hers.
"Nothing would make me happier than to see you, my most trusted ally, and him, my husband's right hand man, happily together" said Wura as she smiled and Nora smiled.
"it would be wonderful for us all to end up like that, and our children will be very close, and we would tell them stories" said Wura as she laughed and Nora laughed.
"Wait, I know that I am going to far now I apologize, lately I have just been thinking about children, maybe because of my little cousin, anyway" said Wura as she cleared her throat.
"I do not want to push you into anything, in the end it is your choice, and I know and believe strongly that you will make the best choice" said Wura as she smiled.
"Oh thank you my Queen, I really needed to talk to someone because keeping it all to myself was torture" said Nora as she hugged Wura and she smiled.
"You are welcome Nora, you know that you can always count on me, always Nora" said Wura with a smile as Nora nodded, she knew that fact very well.
