Elizabeth began to shake her head as soon as Marie began to speak of 'air-headed bimbos'. "I do not speak of an idiotic blond of some sort. There are plenty of women in this world who is or better than the likes of me in more ways than one. So why me? By what means makes me better than anyone else that haves you wanting me to marry someone else. And better yet right after my other husband is-at this moment known- deceased?" she kept her voice flat and her blank blue eyes locked onto the other women as she spoke.

Marie glared daggers at Elizabeth, consciously aware of her own blond locks. Her tone was as icy as her eyes when she finally got the chance to speak. "I chose you for the simple fact that I saw myself in you. I knew you would be able to help rule my country no matter what happened in your personal life. That is why I still want you to be queen, even though you will not be ruling with the man you expected."

Elizabeth, not being fased by the daggers shot at her by Marie, giggled silently to herself. After Marie finished Elizabeth closed her eyes breifly before reopening them and looked over at Donovan to see how he was doing before she looked back to the other woman and spoke. "And how exactly am I in an any way like you? I don't mean to question you rudely, but the only thing I am like you that I see is some of our personilities. Do not tell me that is the only reasoning you have?"

Marie couldn't help but smirk. "You and I are more alike than you realize," she said. "You will come to see this, in time." She had, indeed, noticed Elizabeth look over at Donovan and she glanced at her son as well. Donovan was still watching the ground but he had a distant look in his eyes that told Marie he was lost in his thoughts.

Elizabeth twitched her nose at Marie's comment. She didn't answer back for a brief moment, instead she looked down at the floor for a long moment in thought. As a few moments passed she looked back up and crossed her arms over her chest. "Yea I suppose so." she said through slightly gritted teeth. She knew that to figure out what she meant she would have to do what Marie wanted. It was a pain but she could deal with it for now.
She looked back over at Donovan and noticed his slight daze look. She stepped over to him and placed her hand lightly on his shoulder as to not startle him.

Marie couldn't help but feel smug, though she didn't let it show. She said a few words to the lawyer who nodded, opened his brief case again and pulled out another copy of the marriage agreement.
Though she hadn't wanted to startle him, that's exactly what Elizabeth did. When her hand landed on his shoulder, Donovan jumped and his head snapped up. For half a second, his eyes held the look of a deer ready to bolt but, then it faded, and he realized what had happened. He shook his head, trying to clear it of thoughts.

A frown was placed on Elizabeth's face as he jumped at her touch. She removed her hand from him and simply stood next to him and looked over at Marie and the lawyer. Her eyes landed on the new marriage arrangement paper that the lawyer pulled out of his breifcase. 'You have won yet.' she thought to herself as she stepped forward. "Pen." she said with ice lacing around the single word as she held out her hand.

Donovan watched as Elizabeth left his side, walking over to the lawyer and demanding a pen. The lawyer pulled a pen out of his case and handed it to her. Sighing inwardly, he walked up behind Elizabeth, staring numbly over her shoulder at the agreement and waiting his turn to sign it.

As the lawyer gave her the pen Elizabeth's hand began to shake slightly as she bent down to sign the paper. She took a deep breath inwardly and closed her eyes breifly before reopening and signed with small cursive her signature. After she finished she leaned back up and simply letted the pen fall from her hand and stepped away and crossed her arms back over her chest as she stared blankly at the floor.

Donovan retrieved the fallen pen, stepping around her to sign the paper while silent tears trickled down his emotionless face. That was it. It was done. He and Elizabeth were married. It was a dream and a nightmare all in one. He handed the pen back to the lawyer and stepped back, not even bothering to wipe away or hide his tears. Then it hit him, like a wave smashing against a rock. Spinning around, he raced out of the room. He had to get away before he could no longer help himself and broke down in front of them.

Elizabeth, hearing Donovan's retreating steps snapped her head up and watched him run out of the room. She looked over at Marie and the lawyer breifly before she to ran out of the room. "Donovan." she yelled out as she chased after him.

Donovan could hear Elizabeth coming after him but didn't stop or even slow down. In fact, he went faster. He didn't want to be near anyone. He turned several corners before finally coming to a stop. His hand snapped to mouth his to muffle the sobs that came from him. He leaned his shoulder against a wall, eyes closed as tears started to form and trickle down his face.

Elizabeth watched him as he speed up and turned at a corner. She frowned deeply and slowed down her pace slightly as she followed him around a few of the corners he turned to. Once she lost him she began to turn at randomly chosen corners. The sounds of muffled sobs caught her attention and she looked around a corner and spotted Donovan. She reached out to touch him but he was to far away from her, so she simply let it fall back down to her side. She watched him for a moment, but sensing he wanted to be alone she turned around and turned several different corners ignoring the fact she had no clue were she was going.

Donovan knew she was there. Of course he did. Even in his grief, he was aware of his surroundings. It was those instincts that had kept his species alive while they were still being hunted. He had originally cringed when he heard her footsteps but then, once she'd left, he wished she hadn't. He wanted to be alone with his grief but he also wanted her there.
After what felt like hours, but was really only ten minutes, he'd cried himself out of tears. Taking a deep breath, he straightened up and wiped his face with his shirt sleeves. Turning, he inhaled deeply, following after Elizabeth's scent trail to make sure she didn't get lost.

After a few moments of walking in random hallways and getting lost she sat down and leaned against a wall and closed her eyes as she pulled her knees to her chest and laid her head on top of them. After a brief moment of staying composed, tears began to fall which was the start of her silent sobbing. Thinking no one was near her however; she began just let it all out even the small squeeks that came from her every time she took a breath in through her mouth.
