Lady of The Choice:
Announcements and Displeasures
Kally righted herself, pulling away from the door. She winced, running a hand along her jaw, and I realize now that her cool aloofness is an act, the front she puts on to be like a true Princess. Sadi and Fallon are at the other end of the room, watching her.
"Highness," Said begins, but Kally holds her hand up. She pulled the pins from her head-feathers, and her natural wavy hair falls to her waist. My Kally is a lovely woman, especially as two-leggers go. She is tall, with the build of her mother, graced with the Gift of her father, and instilled with the legacy of a proud and solid country. Kally whistles and walks to her Tapestry, I fly through while she hold it open, while Kally pulls on her riding gown, a high-necked dark blue affair, with a silver tree, one with many branches, embroidered on it's neck. It is the symbol of Ryn. The sleeves are long and fluted, and the gown is pleated, so that she can ride astride. Two soft blue leather gloves go onto her hands.
"Sadi, Fallon. Jany and I are going for a ride." She swept up a black cloak, one with no ornament, and we leave her chambers. As we traverse through the back halls, Kalasin with a black hood over her face, me flying above and ahead, I understand that she does not wish to be recognized. We are out of luck. Roald, now a Squire, as seen us.
"Kally! Kally, wait!" Roald walks up to his sister, and takes her hand.
"Where are you off to?"
"Riding."
"Alone?"
"Jany is coming."
"Kally...."
"Roald!" The two stood there, staring at each other, Roald looking down several inches into his sister's face. Roald was calm, though he could be king-like when the need arose, however, never with Kally. Kally is fierce and solid about whatever she chooses, kind of like a blend of Thayet and Buri.
Finally, the crown prince backed down.
"Fine, Kalasin, go. But take Jany, and I will tell someone where you have gone." Roald moved away and Kally nodded.
Soon we reached the Stables, and Kally saddled her horse, Opal Dream, and we were off. We had not gotten very far, when we met up with two people, also riding: Daine and Kaddar.
Daine waved to us as we all slowed to a halt, and Kaddar bowed from his Saddle.
"I have been asked to accompany you, Princess Kalasin." Kally sighed and swung her horse around, right back into the stables, fuming, she did not even pause to change from her clothes, she stormed into her Parent's private audience chamber.
"Enough!" She crossed her arms, and I settled on the back of a chair.
"Enough what?" Thayet asked calmly.
