~Her eyes flutter open, as Amelia her personal servant, flings open the great curtains that hang like memories long past in her room. She squints as the morning light floods into the room and slowly rises...shaking the grogginess from her head as she looks to Amelia..~
"Lia," the endearing term used to the seemingly older woman was that of friendship rather than hierarchal status, "What time of day is it?" she asks as she looks to the tall thin framed woman whom seems to be in her late thirties. She is a lovely creature none the less with beautiful red hair and dazzling green eyes and a face with a motherly passion as she dotes upon her queen pulling back the heavy blankets and helping her out of bed.
"It be about mid-mornin' M'lady.." she says as she moves to the closet. "What will ye be wearin t'day?" she asks in sweet fluid tones of Irish...
"I suppose I'll wear the off white dress today, Lia. What do you think?" she asks as she looks to her servant of many years. She had come to trust Lia's judgement about certain matters that her advisors couldnt possibly tell her. She smiles warmly to the elder woman as the woman starts to speak.
"Personally, Ive never much liked the off white dress. Its make is all wrong for your body Miss...if you dont mind my saying. If you do...I never said it." Amelia states with a twinkle in her eye. Amelia was one of the rare few that could playfully jest with the Queen, amongst the others being her Head Advisor and friend, and her sisters.
"I agree with you Lia. Shall I wear the red one then?" Upon such a statement Amelia pulls out a rich and deep red dress that looks handsomely made and is not embellished with any strange artifacts borne from another Kingdom. It was of Irish make and Amelia examines it closely and nods.
"Aye M'lady I think this one will suit you just fine this day, you need something to give you color..." Amelia smiles as she walks over to her Queen with the dress and proceeds to dress her...pulling the dress taut in the back, though no corset is used to bind her. Buttons go up her elegant back, pulling the material tight over her figure, leaving a scoop neck to reveal her sparkling neckline, though she bares no clevage. The bell sleeves of the dress fall down to cover most of her hands save the very tips of her fingers.
"Amelia, send a messenger for the Lady Ashina please. Ask the messenger to tell the Lady Ashina to meet me in the library. We have much to discuss this day." She states and dismisses her servant to send the messenger. She walks to the door, neglecting to wear shoes for truely what was the point? The dress covered her feet and left a trail behind her there was so much fabric, and the Palace has carpet. She smiles ruefully as she heads towards the Library. Once there she takes up a large tome and sits on the edge of a table, morning sunlight pouring in and back lighting her...making her look like an ethereal being, and there she waits for Ashina to join her.~
