Chapter 13
Alek was angry with Diana. At how much she reminded him of Deryn. He was mad because she was also so different.
Alek was angry with himself. He was angry at himself because he kept comparing Diana and Deryn.
Deryn would keep her head up and look you in the eye. Deryn would tell you what she felt and thought, exactly when she felt and thought it. Why won't Diana be confidant like Deryn? Why would Diana wear a dress like that? Deryn wouldn't wear a dress like that. Diana looks very regal. Could Deryn ever look this regal?
Indeed, Diana looked very regal. In a very curtain-y type way. Her frilly green dress made her frame look bloated and wide. The puffed sleeves seemed as if they were trying to engulf her face. The ankle length skirt went passed her ankle and brused the ground because Diana wouldn't be confidant of herself. The skirt also puffed out at impossible widths, as if it were trying to trip Diana. Her green heeled shoes had matching green bows.
The only good thing about the dress was the color. Diana looked very pleasant to look at.
Deryn would look better, I presume. Alek thought, then had to stifle a laugh at the thought of a very disgruntled Deryn in a poofy green dress.
He instantly felt better.
He offered his arm to the young Princess.
"Shall we go visit your lovely maze?"
