At that moment, some people who had been wanting to speak to her but couldn't because she was busy with the Fire Tribe Leader, also because they were shy or scared. They immediately crowded her, distracting her from what she had been worried about a while ago, although her guards didn't allow them to get to her.
"My Lady, I have a gift for you!"
"Mother, please grant audience!"
"Expensive hand made embroidery for you, my Lady!"
"Beautiful dresses too, ay!"
"It will only take little of ya time!"
"Milady--"
"--- audience please."
They said over each other, trying to push against the guards who firmly stood their ground.
But what kind of mother wouldn't give her children a minute of her time?
So she gave a moment or two to speak to them, saying a comment or two to as many people as she could talk to within the limited time she had to spare.
