He nodded, smiling still as he watched her. It was almost surprising when she invited him to dinner however, he didn't expect that one. "Thank you for the invitation." Ocie stretched a bit, his fins brushing against the flooring. He figured the dinner was the same as the invitation back into the castle as there would be so many attending it tonight.

"It may be boring but you do handle it well Queen Tariel." Ocie chucked quietly to himself only to notice the pink Aquatl sitting on the throne. Odd how everyone seemed to take residence in that chair but the one meant to sit there. He could hear the squeaking of the critter, but his eyes were on the queen. She was clearly not paying attention to him very closely.

He was floating there looking amused, expression not changing when she introduced Tua. "It's nice to meet you Tua." Ocie bowed a bit. He must be smart if he was the tutor for the queen to speak highly of him. The water sprite's gaze returned to Tari, looking amused again.

"Was he angry a moment ago? He seemed rather squeaky for good news." He asked, just wanting to know if this thing thought he was bad news. From what had happened in the past, Ocie was expecting to be told he's an outcast and shouldn't be here. At least by Tua, he felt welcome by Queen Tariel.
