"Such uncertainty, if you are feeling unwell we can retire to my home. There appears little else to steal and everything appears clean now." Riva said cheerfully to the other woman as she gazed at her reddened face. She knew the younger woman admired her, many did, but it seemed it was developing into something more. She was unsure how the other side would take such a thing were they to find out. She had a feeling her friendliness to the girl was already making some people nervous. Oh well, it was not the first time she would have to be careful politically...

She did not rule her kind, but acted as a 'mother' figure of sorts... interfering for their own good and protection now and then. She never forced anyone to do anything they didn't want to do through force, no, she more offered peaceful alternatives and made sure that they were preferable to the other options. She knew many resented her interference but she only did so when lives depended on it. She would not let pride kill off her kind.
