Princess Liviana looked up at Mai's words. Before she could reply, Princess Fareeha Amari burst into the room, and began...dancing? Mai was not quite sure until Liviana started playing again.

Mai wasn't sure how she felt about the princess from Mamlakat Alssahra. The reports had mostly talked about her time in the Special Forces of her nation and her affinity for snakes, but Mai had seen pictures and she had seen the way she'd acted at the welcoming ceremony the previous day. [i]She's very confident, and not in the way that Princess Caterina Versini of Svearike is. Caterina has a flirtatious sort of confidence. She enjoys being in the limelight, or so I presume based off of what I've seen. If the circumstances were different, I feel that Caterina would be the type of girl to lead other boys on and break their hearts into pieces just for the fun of it. Fareeha has more of a...how would you say this in English? The way she walks with her head held high has a certain quality to it. It is not a swagger, I would say, but more of the way one would walk if they were on top of the world and they knew it. There's even a touch of arrogance in the way she holds herself-not enough to be very noticeable, but it is definitely there. I am sure she has her reasons for behaving in this manner, given her background and upbringing, but I would be careful, if I were her. Arrogance, even the tiniest hint of it, is a dangerous trait.[/i]

Fareeha seemed sane enough, though, which was a start. And Mai could appreciate her liveliness and spontaneity, although it [i]was[/i] rather improper. [i]Nobody would ever say a thing about it to her face,[/i] Mai thought wryly. [i]They'd just come off as horribly prissy.[/i]

Mai watched the other princess dance, her expression carefully arranged in one of light amusement mixed with a hint of curiosity. Mai raised her eyebrows and parted her lips ever-so-slightly, tilting her head to the side. She giggled. "Oh my!" she exclaimed to herself, her eyes following the erratic movements of the copper-skinned princess.
