[Video | Both Courts] 1st Battle
"As far as abductions go, this one is rather polite. I would have thought I would be properly ransomed by now, not treated to a feast and my own quarters..."
[Your newest arrival, Seelie-folk, is not speaking with complete honesty here. She of course came her of her own free will just like everyone else, she was just under the impression it was a dream at the time. She didn't expect to be stuck here. But even she has to admit it's not as bad as it could be, considering her rank as a princess appears to be given at least some respect. And, well, she wasn't being treated as she expected a captive would be treated.
Hard to say if that diminished any annoyance she might have been feeling though, considering her expression at the moment. "Displeased" would be a mild understatement, but at least she wasn't inconvenienced to the point she was out trying to destroy the castle.
Her room has an adjoining study attached, in which a servant appears to be busying himself tidying up. Dusting the bookshelves, furniture, and generally just trying to make the study she was granted as presentable as possible. Looma has not yet had the heart to announce to him that everything inside simply must go. But that will be changing soon enough! It was the entire point behind this video announcement after all, as she had exactly zero need for friends or any similar social attachments.]
"I am Princess Looma of the House of the Red Wind. I have decided to offer a trade, and will consider your offers as necessary. I have no need of anything in this room, and wish to be rid of it! What I do require is a proper stand for my armor, as well as the necessary materials for its care. My hammer requires the same attention."
[She holds the hammer into view not necessarily to show it off, but more out of practicality. Her experience back home was that few species still used such weapons, and those who once did certainly constructed them differently. Hers had a head at either end, and was about the size of a human child. Of course, anyone particularly attentive would also note that she appeared to be holding it into view with two right hands, raising the question of just how 'alien' she was, exactly. As if the four eyes and blood red skin weren't enough of a tip off with regard to her non-human nature.]
"Provide that, and you may have your pick of anything in this room. Except my attendant, of course. Unless he proves to be as worthless as the rest of the room."
[She could not fathom how this would be a fair trade in this or any world, but if the furniture and books were prized enough to be included as a gift, perhaps there was some value to them. She just didn't know what or why. To her, a small armory would be far more preferential to a study. At least it had an immediate usefulness attached to it.]
"Anything left unclaimed will be used for kindling, so speak quickly! I need to explore more of this place, and prepare for the battles promised to me."

The greatest you'll see until my father arrives, at least. But I am his finest warrior.
[This much, at least, was true. Sure she was immensely proud of the claim, but it was not false, either.]
Then I hope you prepare yourself well, because I will not be holding back. Pain is a wonderful teacher! And if you hold back, I'll break both your arms!
[That...last part was said almost playfully. Though there's certainly an element of seriousness to her words.]
What is your name then? And what planet are you from? You appear almost human, but I do not remember...
[She's not sure what they are, but she's running a finger across her neck, about where the gills on Kaldur's neck would be. She's a perceptive one, when it suits her. And in this case, it's largely because she needs to keep track of how many warriors she's fought, and what species they were.
You know. For bragging rights.]
no subject
[ He's kind of getting into it, now. It's like diplomacy plus friendly boasting plus sparring. That's an amazing combination of things KAldur likes that he enver thought would ever go together. At the moment, he really kinda likes this. A lot. ]
I am Kaldur'ahm, of Shayeris, and a superhero on my world. I am from Earth, though I imagine it must be a different one than that with which you are familiar.
[ He sees the motion, and gives Looma a bit of a grin. ]
My people are Atlanteans. We live in the oceans of Earth, though many of us can also dwell upon the land with ease.
no subject
[Far too much happy, there. Can't be healthy. Still, at least it's genuine.]
Well then Kaldur-ahm, I wish you luck on your journey. It would be a shame if I had to go looking for another opponent.
[Which she'll do anyway, because she never really stops, but just for different reasons. She really wants to fight you now, Atlantean. And she will remember that name.]
If your kind are that adaptable, you must be a challenge! More so than the humans, at least.
no subject
I shall do my best to return well and ready for our battle.
[ He could probably stand for some training bruises anyways. It would do him a heck of a lot of good. ]
I hope that I will not disappoint, your highness.
