For the next two hours Kel was talking with Lalasa while being made a dress for Buri and Raoul's wedding. Kel loathed dress fittings, but she was trapped in purple magic- that of Alanna of Pirates swoop also known as the Lioness, and the King's Champion.
"Can you please hurry up? I promised I would meet them for dinner at the seventh bell." Kel whined.
"So who is this boy your meeting?" Lalasa asked.
"Who said it was a boy?"
"Well the only ladies at the fort are currently in the room, Lady Knight." Thayet, the queen of Tortall said smiling knowing she outsmarted Kel for once.
"Well.. umm.. actually I was going to eat with Neal" Kel said with her Yamani mask firmly in place.
"Humph.. of course" Lalasa said with a wink towards Kel. Yuki, Neal's betrothed, smiling knowingly at Kel before going back to helping with the dress again.
After the dress fitting Yuki and Kel ere in Kel's rooms talking.
"So are you eating in the mess hall or with Thayet, Buri, and Alanna?" Kel questioned.
"Humph.. I was thinking of eating with Neal if thats okay with you and Dom of course."
"Yea of course, wait how did you know Dom was coming?"
"I guessed, it wasn't that hard, you wouldn't of put your mask on if you were only going to dinner with Neal."
"Oh.. Humph.. Of course."
"So want to wear our kimonos?"
"Of course, I only have one with me though."
"Okay, ill go get mine and my face paint wait here."
"Sure" and with that the door was closed with Yuki on the other side before Kel realized she had just agreed to wear face paint. Realizing this she just groaned.
