A Prized bride (The return)

A Prized bride (The return)

The feeling in the Great Hall was foreign and uncomfortably hot. Layla stood with other castoff Gems, not breathtaking enough to catch someone's eye. Well, that was not true. Layla had been chosen by someone as an afterthought, just in case his other bride did not survive the night. Which was highly likely considering the Drakken's huge size and foul smell.

But it seemed some form of higher power had a sense of humor because as he was bedding his bride the fat brute seemed to have suffered some kind of heartattack. He had been found dead atop an equally dead bride, the Gem having suffocated under his weight.
Now Layla had been placed back in the group of last pickings, waiting for another to chose her.

She was not breathtakingly gorgeous. She knew this. Layla had the kind of beauty that was softer, quieter. It didn't announce itself but had to be veiwed to be appreciated, much like a sunset that got more beautiful the longer you beheld it.
It used to bother her, not being beautiful like other Gems. At times it still did. But being ignored often had its advantages.

If her stepsister had been taken she would be either dead or sobbing in a corner somewhere. Layla had been substituted for her stepsister at the last minute. The guards hadn't cared. She was a Gem and she was of age.
Her lip still hurt. Backtalking Drakken guards did not end well for her. The smack he had given her had caused her lip to split but at least he hadn't gone any further.

The other Gems around her had been cast aside by their respective 'husbands' for being unsatisfactory. It made her blood boil. They were being treated like toys, thrown away once they were broken. The only difference between her and the others was that Layla had not been bedded yet.

Echo's attention was grabbed by the red haired woman once again. "You'll teach me to dance? Thank you!" she said entusiastically, then her expression turned thoughtful. "But I have nothing to offer you..." she said, trailing off in thought before brightening moments later. "I know! Here!" she said, opening the pouch that hung from a golden cord at her waist. "I brought some of my pieces to show the King at his request, but I don't need all of them. Here, take it. As a thank you and a memory for this night," she said eagerly, offering her hand to the woman.

In her palm was a golden ring with a pearl as it's centerpiece. But not just any pearl. This pearl was blood red and seemed to almost shimmer in the light. Everyone always loved the shining stones that Echo had brought from the sea.
"The color looks like your hair," Echo mentioned as she offered the highly expensive piece of jewelry to her new friend as one would offer a piece of candy. The eyes of people around suddenly locked onto the mentally unstable girl. She may have been crazy but now she was a crazy person with money. That made all the difference. People began to murmur once again, some even starting to approach as if to enter the conversation, but Echo didn't seem to notice the stir she was causing, continuing to smile brightly at her new friend.

@ineffable long story short I got blamed for something at work. Granted I did make a mistake but I did it because a manager told me to. Now he is claiming he didn't tell me anything. So now I am in trouble cuz my mistake cost the company nearly $300

I'm still trying to think of some kind of intro for Layla. ;__;

@shylarah it's just been a very bad day. I got blamed for something that granted I did make a mistake about but I made the mistake because a manager told me to do it and now he is claiming he didn't tell me anything. So I am now in trouble.

I was thinking the pink crystal Lyra is holding could be something that Feoras gave her, special in that it allows him to hear her if she is holding it. They hear her singing the old fae song and that's how Falk finds out about Lyra. I don't remember if he already knows or not...
I don't know I'm so tired and stressed things aren't really making much sense right now. If it's stupid and won't make any difference to anything don't pay attention to this.
