"Good choice.", Lidia complimented. "When we get out of here and I get everything settled I will gladly help you learn how to use some other weapons." She was smiling happily, hands behind her back.

I like that plan! Ooh, do you know how to use a crossbow? Ive kinda wanted to learn that for a long time. She said in an excited whisper. She reached down and tucked the dagger into her boot. She winced a bit but then stood up straight again. Think that works?

"Yes I can use a crossbow, but they are very heavy.", Lidia warned, smiling still. She watched her hide the dagger away, nodding approvingly. "It will work as long as long as no one looks down your boot."

Amias was caught off guard by the hug, but he did smile through it. His cheeks were dusted a light pink as he looked down at him.
"Y-You're welcome. And I don't mind that much." He said with a soft smile, taking a hand and brushing his brown hair out of his eyes. "N-No need to apologize."

Remilia happened to look down at the scar on Ahelissa's forearm. She had seen it once before, but she had forced her curiosity away.
"Who am I to be complaining when you've been bought by someone?" She mumbled quietly, crossing her arms. Remilia didn't really like to show sympathy, but she showed some in that moment.
"Your scar. It's quite large, how ever did you manage to get it?" Remilia asked, her curiosity finally getting the better of her. She really wasn't one to bite her tongue anyways, she'd always been like that. Speaking her mind like a man. She decided that today she could try to be different, and maybe lift the mask she'd created for just a day. Maybe the mask hid things from her, things that should have been clear to her without it.

Oh, I dont think they will. Unless maybe I step on any toes. She said. She giggled. She twirled a bit and laughed a little more.

Emrys had just arrived at the castle, brushing her short, dirty blonde hair out of her face. She wore the clothes of a boy, a rich one at that. The slave that had driven the cart for her hopped down, giving a bow. Emrys pulled out a large amount of coin, whispering words of gratitude before she walked past the gates that separated the town from the night castle. Her skin crawled. This was the home of the monster that killed her entire country.
"Brick by brick, I will bring you down King Lisianthus." She whispered, rubbing her thumb over a diamond studded locket. Those were her words of comfort.
Emrys decided that she couldn't bring herself to greet the King yet. His face had been the monster of her nightmares for years now. She made a detour through the gardens, studying the roses, tulips, and all the other lovely flowers. Being disguised a boy made it difficult for her to enjoy the girly things she did like.

(Quick Note/Reminder: Emrys is posing as the ambassador's son, Yerik Alderich. The ambassador passed away years ago, so she claimed to be his long lost son.)

Riften
Riften smiled softly. "Still, new clothes are rare for me, and I'm, I'm ready to get out of these rags.", He replied, plucking at his shirt. When Amias made that gesture he flinched- But when he realized what the blond was doing he turned red.

Lidia
Lidia giggled, taking her friend's hands. "You know what will finish the look off?", She asked rhetorically. "A flower crown, it would match nicely with the dress." Lidia began guiding Odelina outside.

Amias

Amias nodded, the least the castle could do for the slaves is give them clothes that aren't shredded and filthy. When he put his hand back at his side, there was almost a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"We should hurry along. I'm sure the seamstresses will be horribly busy if we don't get there fast enough. The ball does start at six pm, giving three more hours to get ready." He said almost abruptly, his embarrassment getting the better of him.

Emrys

Emrys plucked a few flowers, thinking the king wouldn't mind one or two missing from his collection. She sat down and twirled it between her fingers, trying to calm her nerves. She was in the enemy's home, right now. He had no idea who she was, or what she was planning tonight. And- and there was that chance, that large chance she would die before she avenged her country. That scared her.

Odelina smiled. Ooh! You know how to make flower crowns? My goodness Liddy, I didnt know you could be so girly. She teased. She didnt quite mind going back to the garden, she really liked it there.
