Not being a true Lady yet, her carriage was nearer the end of of the procession and therefore one of the last few to come to a stop. By the time she took her first step into this new land, citizens and nobles alike were already pushing forward towards whom she could only imagine was the King of Abhainn himself. It looked as if her ladyship was already in attendance with her future husband and Keir was determined to be by her side as soon as possible. She knew how nervous Lady Julia had been before the trip started; she could only imagine her nerves now. She gave her [url=https://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=20947716]velvet, emerald gown[/url] a gentle lift to aid in the speedy pace she set for herself and began moving forward along the line of carriages; she had to brush the hair back from her face on occasion as she had let it more down than usual for the occasion. Thankfully, it was easy enough to move this way as the crowd was not inclined to stifle the surroundings of the horses. As she moved, her deep blue eyes drank up the sights of this new land. It was startling and yet comforting to see that many things in Abhainn were the same as in Sliabh. Much of the architecture appeared different in style but not in form. Not that she expected Abhainn to be full of wizard towers or other outlandish structures she'd read about in fantasies, but she spent way too much of the ride over wondering how different everything was going to be here. Almost lost in her fantasies and daydreamings, Keir noticed a familiar face as she passed through the crowd. It was Lady Amaryllis looking lovely as usual and standing with another woman that she did not recognize. She looked to be having a conversation, but both of their eyes were fixed towards King Maddox and Lady Julianna. Had she not set her mind to returning to her Ladyship's side, Keir would have been inclined to slow down and listen in to the conversation, but her Lady needed her more than some gossip at the moment. Just as Keir thought she was about to break from the carriages and be close enough to provide emotional support to Lady Julia, King Jack stepped from the carriage in front of her, knocking the driver down standing near his carriage door who was in the midst of introducing his highness. Keir took several steps back after the first punch to the face, clenching her fists at the first sound of bones breaking. She couldn't turn her eyes from the spectacle as it happened and it took nearly all of her constitution to keep her stomach from turning over at the sight of the poor man at the finish of it all. She'd been hunting with her father and even seen men slain in melee combat, but she had never seen such brutality as this. Keir took a few deep breaths to steady her nerves, but with hands still shaking she hurried on to Lady Julia, giving her a reassuring touch on her left hand before standing back a yard or so; she took up her silent position next to Lord Merryn whom she would be hard-pressed to miss in his leathers and fur. It was her duty and great pleasure to stand with her Ladyship, but this was a meeting of royalty upon which not even she had the right to impose. Besides, Keir needed some time to completely regain her composure after that horrid scene. She hoped this wouldn't jeopardize all the progress for which the late Kings warred and worked. Needless to say, this was not the reception that most of those in attendance probably expected.
