As her question was answered by Sir Tiral it came back pretty much as she expected.  He was not comfortable with such situations and would no doubt be quite beside himself when the time came.  Julianna started to consider offering to help him out with the whole affair when Dame 'Immortal' decided to step into the conversation, something about procuring a mountain of limes.

Now, limes were a delectable fruit and garnish of which Julianna actually had quite a bit of fondness for, sour things had always suited her taste for some reason, much more than delectable sweets.  The suddenness and seemingly randomness of the proclamation took her aback for a bit, why would she need so many limes to prepare something for a royal ball of all things?  Didn't it have enough food and delights to feed the entire city?  Besides, did she even eat at all, considering she was undead?

It took only a moment or two before a light lit up in her head, of course she was just being her usual overprotective self and no doubt planned to use a delivery to gain greater access to the premises and be the best guardian she could be.  For someone who wore armor all the time she could be painfully transparent.  Well, in any case they certainly couldn't go wrong with whatever delight the limes would be used for at the ball.

Certainly there were easier ways to go about this but in the end it probably didn't matter.  As her thought concluded, Sir Tiral made his escape, citing health reasons and she was left with the oldest knight in the order.

"Goodbye Sir Tiral.  I'm sure it won't be as bad as you think."  She waved as he departed then turned to the lime addict, an addiction she totally approved of.

"Well then Dame Tyaethe, let me just procure some of my servants for the occassion so we can procure a sufficient amount of delicious limes.  Every party can use some improvement after all."

She just hoped the lime gathering wouldn't take too long, as she had to give herself enough time to be fully prepared for the ball herself.  It wouldn't do for a proud member of the Silvern family to appear before her highness unprepared and unadorned.
