Palace Halls

"Shocked? I guess I haven't been out of the Castle in a very long time." She sighed a little. Chuckling though at the 'shirt thing' comment. "I'm sure there are a lot of happy eyes around here." She somewhat said to herself. When he accepted her offer to take a stroll outside she beamed happily. Nodding and eyerolling. "Of course. I know how royal duty suffices. Unless you mean. In case a wild bull appears on the Castle grounds and you need to relieve your adrenaline stress." She teased him more.
She walked at his side, letting their strides match up. She enjoyed how she could just walk beside him; he was seven inches taller then her still but. She walked with a fast pace. Her husband was slow and mellow which was different from his actual attitude. When he began to scrub his face she blinked a bit. "Do you need any opinions on what is bothering you so much Connall?" She could advise him as a fellow ruler. She moved to touch his arm as they walked. Just giving him a light tap of her soft hand. Letting her hand return to her other after the fact. Her dark eyes watching where she was going as well as the King.

She would take in his words about bulls and nod to him. Moira wouldn't ever try what he did. But it sounded like it was a world of fun and hurt. When he gave her a response about marriage she gave him a frown. She had insisted to him before that her marriage wasn't the best. "I wish I could have children. But I have not.. Uhm." She paused and blushed at the side of the King. Who probably had some flings in his life. "I have not consumated my marriage to my husband." It was known she'd been married for 9 years. "Ever. Nor would anything come out of our marriage. My husband is infertile. And would rather bed other women." She'd say bluntly. When they got to the grounds she stopped talking for a second. Breathing in the air and heard his words. She looked down, the Queen who never looked hurt or down finally showed her true colours; she was in that war. "I have only known a bad marriage. Or the lands of a Kingdom." She sighed. The later statement was true. Before Queen she was a Princess.

"But there are princesses who can marry you. My cousin Cliona knows you, or Ina.." She said the last name with a slightly touch. Like as if she knew saying it was out of the question.

"It's nothing to be sorry about." She would look up at him and smiled gently. Pain in her eyes about possibly never having a child. She knew Cahir wouldn't stand for anyone to touch her. He liked seeing her suffer with the want of children or even a relationship. "I didn't mind King Cahir until after his parents passed and he explained that he wished to not.. It made me feel a bit useless. But in the end I govern the country. My husband doesn't. But he doesn't dabble in my work when I am away so I guess I have nothing to be afraid of."
She would nod and chuckle calmly. "I knew you'd say no about her." She suggested and then heard him talk about war time she gave him a soft expression. She gained a respect for this man then. Lowering her head. "I'm sorry about what you have gone through.. I don't know how it'll feel to take the life of anyone, even given a child. I know someday as a Queen I will have to give that order. But I have not yet in the nine years I have been Queen." His end statement she smiled moreso and placed her hand against his bicep again. Looking up into his eyes. "You are a good man Connall. As much as you dislike being a King. There are somethings I admire about your capability in being one. You are very respectful and I yearn for Cahir to be like that. But he will never shy away from his whoring, and never would he just give up the power."

Moira would nod lightly about her cousin. She frowned a little though. Thinking of her cousin's reactions towards Moira in the Audience Room. Her eyes gave a pained look. "I do not know if my cousin feels the same about you. But let her be the one to talk to you about it."

Moira actually stood there and listened to his every word. She placed her hands infront of her and clasped them. She enjoyed listening to the Soldier King speak. When he finished his paragraph of ramble she snapped back to reality for a moment. Tilting her head just a bit. Thinking about giving orders to take the life and she sighed. Thinking about war and closing her eyes for a moment. "Anything that has to do with taking life is horrible and dangerous. But it is the world we live in." She opene her eyes and looked out again. "It is the small things in life that we must dabble in to enjoy what Earth has to give." When she said that she heard him say he never let his men do wrong she'd smile a little. "I figure to be a good royal you must know how to plan things. Use a play by play. Though the world revolves around oddities and wrong/right moves."

Chuckling just a bit. "It's alright, not much upsets me Connall.. I mean it does upset me but I am not someone who gets huffy about everything. You'll know when I do." Smiling up at Connall. Laughing a bit. "If you insist. But I think that with the right person at your side you could work well as a King. There are reasons people elect others. There must be a good one for your people to think you're good." She would laugh though. "Oh I know. Those people.. And it's usually the people who have good farm lands and are spoiled and lost their parents recently that waste our time. I would much rather help a farmer and his family then deal with a spoiled Duke who's too used to having their parents hold their hand." She'd give him a sigh. "But I have only known the world of a Royal. Like you as a soldier. I know that dealing with all of my people means the one or two spoiled Duke and Duchess here and there."
Patting his arm again; which seemed to be a Moira thing to do to people she can touch without making turn into ash with the thoughts of a Queen touching them. Which is pretty much; Just Connall.. "She's a good lady. I love her dearly though it had been awhile since I had last seen her. My Uncle makes a joke out of my birthplace." She nearly scoffed about the old man.
