Kura raised an eyebrow at the woman's comment about living in squalor, but didn't really comment until the civic duty comment came up. "If you want her to know, I can tell her certainly. But some of our kind prefer to keep their identities from their parents. Those born of Faldrun, for instance." she said, noting that this one didn't seem to know much about Mortalborn. Kura guessed she hadn't settled in one place for very long, probably to avoid her lack of aging becoming an issue. Then came up the matter of why she hadn't been raised by Raskalarn. "Orphanage? That's where you wound up?" she said in surprise, before shaking her head. "I'd guess you were put in an orphanage to conceal your identity. But it wasn't your mother that put you there." she said, grimacing. "Here's the thing, everyone knew you existed, but until the rumors started up after your birth fathers death, everyone thought you were dead." she said, before pausing in thought as something occurred to her. "You were stillborn, your father took you away from the empress to prepare your body for the funeral. But that's...that shouldn't be possible for Mortalborn. So why were you stillborn...and how are you alive now..." she said, somewhat lost in thought.
When the other woman began considering her domains, Kura shrugged. "Hard to tell what your Domains are until your powers develop. I'd guess your domains are how you're alive, though. And while you might have a Jacodon domain, I wouldn't bet on a Dragon domain. From what I've gathered, they are not somethin' our powers meld with." she said, grimacing. An Immortal or Mortalborn with a Dragon domain, her mother had told her once, would be the single most powerful being Idalos had ever seen. Fortunately, her mother said, it was also utterly impossible.
Then the other woman started on her...attempt at regal proclamation and Kura just got more and more amused the longer she went, though she hadn't made any move to take a knee. "Couple of things, lass. The Eternal Empire is a meritocracy, remember? Princess is somethin' of a family name there, not a rank. Basically means you're Raskalarn's daughter, but it doesn't give you rank. As it stands, I was part of the High Courts, one of your mothers advisors, before I had to leave. And now I'm one of the rulers of Scalvoris, so...no, not bowin' to much of anybody besides your mother at a formal occasion, or a particularly important political ally." she said, looking more amused than anything. "And if you ever go into politics, that kind of authoritarian message is a good way to be offendin' people." she said, before she walked up to Phelan and tapped him on the head.
The wolf sat back down into a relaxed position and looked up at Kura with his tongue hanging out of his mouth. "But I can be sendin' your mum a message about where to be findin' you." she said, grinning slightly. "Phelan, reach out to my mum, tell her I found Raskalarn's missin' child, would you?" she said, cheerfully. Phelan yipped and acquired a very distracted look. "Nice to meet you too, Lavana." she said, grinning.
When Lavana asked about her sister, Kura sighed. "Valtharn had been my friend when we were younger, before she lost her bloody mind. But she'd always been...over eager, in hindsight. Pre-disposed towards violence, thanks to her Domains. But she seemed in control of them for a long time, violent though she was, we thought she'd be a hero. Kind of a messed up sense of humor, to be sure, and she was always after laughin' at somethin' or another. Don't think she could control those laughin' fits of hers, honestly." she said, shaking her head. "In the end though, I think her Domains overcame her willpower. Savagery, Torture, and Murder, never a good mix. But even the worst Domains can be turned to good. But each Domain has it's...spirits. I think the Spirits of Valtharn's Domains resented being turned to good. Eventually, I think they overcame her, took control of her." she said, before sighing. "I don't think she's even still in there anymore, to be honest."
