Kel entered the stables, as Peachblossom followed casually. Kel walked over
to Peachblossom and took off his saddle and reins. Kel opened up the stall
door and Peachblossom trotted inside. Kel gave Peachblossom a good brush
down and gave him an apple as a treat. Kel bid Peachblossom a goodbye as
the horse whinned in reply. Kel walked out of the stables and started for
the Palace stairs. Everyone by the stairs cleared a walkway for the young
knight to get through. No one breathed or said a word at all. A servant
with the group approached Kel. "Excuse me miss?" Kel looked over at the
servant and nodded her head simply. "Would you please follow me, I will
show you to your rooms." Kel looked the servant over and followed mutley as
if being dragged along. The servant opened the door and held it open for
Kel to follow. As the door closed, the group of people on the stairs broke
into a flurish of talking. No one had seen the girl in 5 years and here she
is back again acting like none of them exsisted ,everyone of course had
heard the story about her wedding, they thought it was an absolute
tradgedy. No women but Oranie would even look at Neal anymore, much less
talk to him.
Kel followed the servant down the hallway towards the guest wing. As they rounded the next corner a group of nosiy squires and pages bumped into Kel and the servant. The group looked mortified that they almost ran over the Black Widow. The leader of the group came forward and bowed deeply to Kel, he stammered an apology while the rest tried to find their voices. Kel thinking it was highly amusing, gently layed her hand on the boy's shoulder. It had been the closet thing she had done to do with physical contact. The boy's eyes widdened and then he realized that she was offering a kind gesture. The boy smiled at her and bowed again. The boy then turned to his group motioning them to keep walking. After the group had left, Kel and the servant followed their course. After a few minutes, Kel had reached her destination. The servant unlocked the door and handed Kel the key. Kel accepted and bid the servant farewell. Kel unpacked her bags and saw a note on her table. It read:
Dear Keldary,
There is going to be a ball tomorrow night and I hear you shall be here in Corus. Please come by the shop to say hello.
You must come down and get your measurements taken. I will work on your dress this afternoon till it's finished. I shall drop it off at the Palace when I come to fit it on for you. Hope to see you soon.
Lalassa
Kel almost smiled as she read the letter. *Ha, me go to a ball, that's like asking a spidern to be my best friend.* Then Kel remebered Cleon, she had to go to the ball, she had spent the last five years thinking of how she was in love with Cleon. Kel grabbed her cloak and headed towards the city of Corus.
An hour later Kel pushed the door open to Lalassa's store. Kel heard some russling in the back room and went to go say hello. Lalassa was bent down picking up fabrics and stacking them neatly into piles. "Knock, Knock." Kel said. Lalassa turned around and went to go hug Kel but stopped herself before it looked like she was going to. She had forgotten that Kel changed. "Well, let's get your measurements." Lalassa said happily.
