Caesonians had a way about them that set them apart from the Alidasht people that ever since Nahir first set foot abroad, she couldn’t quite place what it was. It could be the cooler weather. A woman in bright-colored slippers and golden buckles laughed loudly, drawing the attention of the Shehzadi. She wore a dress with last season’s aqua blue, bright purple floral patterns, and pink lace. An eyesore amongst the nobility. The pearls and gems she wore around her neck and ears were indications enough to tell her that the woman had enough money to buy something that would not offend those around her. Nahir continued to watch her for a while longer, seeing how she laughed loudly, her head tilted back without fear of judgment. Of course, who would even judge her attitude when they were too busy looking at the mess that was her outfit. [color=428f90]“Is something the matter, Shehzadi?”[/color] Ece leaned in closer to Nahir. [color=904342]“Those slippers.”[/color] Nahir gave a pointed look to the woman. [color=428f90]“Ah, they are quite-”[/color] [color=904342]“Offensive to look at.” [/color] [color=428f90]“Shall I remove them from her feet, my lady?” [/color]There was a hint of amusement in the woman’s voice. [color=904342]“I’d be best to remove the source altogether.”[/color] Nahir retorted sarcastically, rising to her feet. “Should we get going? I have to cleanse my mind of those sinful slippers.” [color=428f90]“Fashion district, Shehzadi?”[/color] [color=904342]“Are you reading my mind, Ece?”[/color] Nahir smiled playfully at her lady-in-waiting as they approached the palanquin. The carriers bowed deeply when they saw the two ladies approaching them. Two of them pulled back the silk curtains and allowed Nahir to climb in. Inside, Nahir sat gracefully on the pillows and leaned back, letting her shoulders slouch now that she was out of the public’s eye. She still couldn’t shake the woman’s face from her mind and those damned ugly slippers. Had they really been so ugly and offensive for her to act in such a way? Nahir shook her head, took one of her locs, and fiddled with the golden ring wrapped around it. [color=904342]"Ece?"[/color] [color=428f90]"Shehzadi?"[/color] Ece approached the palanquin when she saw the look on her face. After years of being her lady-in-waiting, Ece had been slowly mastering the art of reading Nahir. It wasn’t as hard as she had first thought when they first met; it could also be that Nahir had grown to trust Ece. [color=904342]"I’ve reconsidered; take me to the park. There’s a festival there."[/color] She had gotten the sudden urge to do something fun. Games and food sounded like the perfect kind. Surprised, Ece nodded and forwarded the information to the four men. They bowed before picking up the palanquin carefully and began their way. [center]______________________________________[/center] The air around the park seemed lighter, more carefree, and a tad too unfamiliar to Nahir. She had never attended a festival like this during her stay here, and most festivals back home were out of the question for her. Unless it were necessary for her to attend, she’d opt out for a trip to the high end dress shops or jewelers. Nahir watched as women, men, and children gathered around the various stands of food or games, huddled together, trying to catch glips inside. To her right, there was a stand of food selling fried foods, the air carried the smell over to her nostrils, and Nahir almost let her feet carry her to the stand. On the other side, she heard a woman announcing the sale of cucumber and mint sorbet. [color=428f90]"Shehzadi, should we keep going and find something better to eat?"[/color] Ece stood behind Nahir, watching anyone that got too close to her. [color=904342]"Yes,"[/color] Nahir approached the stand where the sorbet was being served into paper cones topped with two mint leaves on top as a garnish. [color=904342]"Actually, I would like one of these."[/color] She’d only ever cucumber in salads back home, so she wondered how it would taste in a sorbet. The answer was good. Nahir happily scooped up a tiny amount of the green sorbet, trying to make it last longer as she slowly passed a few games. There was one stand with a decent crowd around it, where one had to shoot pallets from a musket and knock down wooden cups. Another where people would have to shoot a ball into a high-standing ring that Nahir thought might be fun. Still, she continued walking down the festival, searching for new foods to try.
