The Lyoki trio made it back to their quarters without incident. As she opened the door, Sophia began to speak. "Now Jezin, you can't be wearing your armor to the feast. We brought some proper attire for you, so wear it, please." The bodyguard sighed, following the princess and her servant into the main room of their quarters. "As you wish, milady." He had grown so used to his armor that wearing civilian attire was somewhat awkward, still, he had to respect the princess' wishes. He reached to his neck, removing the golden necklace that Sophia had given him, and handed it to her. She took it and he departed to his room, shutting the door behind him.

 Eva followed Sophia into her room. The princess began rummaging through her stock of clothing, trying to find something for the night. As she did so, Eva spoke up. "So how was the tournament, milady?" Sophia replied, still digging through the small mountain of attire. "It was fine. I'm not one for watching men beat each other to death, but at least I had some decent conversation." She smiled. A grin crossed Eva's face. "Oh yes, that boy that you were with. Gareth was it? He seemed quite dashing from what I saw of him. Is he interested in you, do you think?" Eva gave a slight giggle. Sophia's hands stopped moving through her clothes for a moment. She remembered their conversation. "No, Eva. I believe he is infatuated with someone else. He was lovely to talk to, though." Eva frowned. "Well, that is a shame. I'm sure you'll get plenty of attention at the feast tonight, though." Sophia smiled, picking out a dress at last. "Perhaps I will." She held up the garment. It was vaguely similar to the one she was wearing, consisting of the same red fabric, but it's style was different. It's sleeves ended near the elbow, and it had several layers of fabric, each embroidered with gold thread. It was also slightly longer than her current dress, reaching nearly to her ankles. "Beautiful," the handmaiden exclaimed.
