Sorry it took so long guys and it's so short but I am at school and haven't much time. Finals ya know. Hopefully I'll aadd another actual chapter later.
Christian stalked down the hall quickly, his boots slapping the cobblestone floor.
"Blaze?" he asked, gently rapping at her chamber door.
"Yes?" was the faint answer.
"May I come in?"
"Sure." She said before unlocking the door and stepping out of the way.
Nervously, Christian entered. "Blaze do you…." Christian stopped and stared. Blaze's eyes were demurely on the floor as he studied the green dress that clung to her body in the latest Austorian fashion. "What are you wearing that?"
Blaze's shoulders stiffened. "It is a dress, my lord."
"Yes I know that." He said impatiently. "Why are you wearing it?"
"Because I am a woman my lord."
Christian growled. "Yes I am aware of that but why have you started to wear dresses?"
"Because it is required of me as a noble woman my lord." She answered almost bitterly.
"What about your pants and shirts?"
"Gone. Such things are for peasants. Or rebels." She added under her breath.
"I see."
"If I may ask, why are you here my lord?"
"I was going to ask you to accompany me riding."
Blaze looked up for a second nervously before looking down again. "I fear that I do not know how to ride side saddle my lord."
"That's alright, you can put on your old clothing."
"I fear it is not possible my lord."
"Why?"
"I had them sent off to be burned."
"I see. Maybe another time then."
Blaze nodded.
Christian looked at her one last time before heading out the door, dissapointment clouding his aura. "Perhaps I will have to bring Night Wolf back into the picture after all."
