[color=6ecff6][i]Don’t crack, don’t show any kind of fear even if you feel it.[/i][/color] Rising from the bow she smiled at Ozragad happy that she had done well, she had not embarrassed herself in the court at least which was something she had feared in doing. It felt like all eyes were on her and it was a lot of pressure, there was a lot of people in his court probably more as she had been presented today. A lot of names she would make a big effort to remember as it would only be respectful to his people, regardless of the war this was an effort at peace and she had her part to play.

[color=6ecff6][i]Maybe it won’t be so bad.[/i][/color] Although she was torn from her thoughts at his next words, her face flushed pale cheeks turning the faintest of pinks, and she lost her composure for a split-second stuttering slightly. [color=6ecff6][i]Did he just… compliment me?[/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][b]“T-Thank you, that is most kind of you to say.”[/b][/color] Glancing down at the dress she quite liked the bold colour choice, something she had never worn before and the fabric was soft beneath her fingers it complimented her well. A genuine smile graced her lips as she thought on it, a smile he had yet to see because it was not fake but she quickly regained her composure giving him a small nod before turning to the Herald who announced the feast in her honour. 

Stepping down she had seen her ladies in the crowd and moved over to them who smiled and bowed their head to her upon approaching. Holding her hands neatly in front of her she kept them clasped together else she would fiddle with the dress; it was a somewhat nervous habit of hers and being surrounded by important people she didn’t want to give anything away. She wouldn’t dare come across rude, not in his court. [color=6ecff6][b]“It was Flora and Ida, right?”[/b][/color] Feeling the relief hit her when they both nodded smiling, [color=6ecff6][i]I managed to remember something, thankfully.[/i][/color] 

“How are you finding your stay so far?” One of the ladies spoke up, Flora whilst Ida smiled standing by both of them.

[color=6ecff6][b]“I must admit, sleep did not come easy. Probably due to new settings. I hope tonight will be easier, but everything is beautiful here. The palace itself is quite the work of art.”[/b][/color] It was easy to make small talk with her ladies; these weren’t exactly state secrets of hers, but she didn’t really have any. [color=6ecff6][i]Well…[/i][/color] Glancing at her right hand remembering the scar that was there, hidden by the long sleeves of the red fabric, thankfully. 

“Ah yes, Atarah mentioned your first night didn’t seem comfortable. Can we do anything to help with that at all?” This time Ida spoke up looking from Flora to Elise smiling. 

[color=6ecff6][b]“Oh no no! No need to put yourselves out, honestly, I think it’s just getting used to the new setting is all. The room is absolutely lovely, everything is so comfortable.”[/b][/color] Smiling at both Flora and Ida before she glanced over towards King Ozragad, a part of her felt curious towards him. The compliment earlier had caught her off guard, it was something she had never expected but it was nice. [color=6ecff6][i]Getting to know him can’t hurt? [/i][/color]
