A/N- so we had a close call with snow last night, but it ended up just being sleet and wasn't all that exciting :(. Hope you are doing well, enjoy!
Gwen was working intently on her sampler when Milena arrived. Samplers had always been hard for her but now that it was kind of like her job it was even harder.
"My lady?"
"Yes Milena," Gwen set aside her sampler aside, ready for a break. "What is it?"
"Mason is here, he finished on the painting and he is ready to show it to you." She clapped her hands together in excitement and hopped on her toes. "Wait till you see it, it's beautiful."
Standing Gwen grinned in anticipation, "Oh wonderful send him in."
After a few minutes Milena reappeared with Mason in tow.
"Your highness," he exclaimed with a flourish. "Just wait till you see this master piece." He motioned to the canvas that he had brought in. The canvas was covered with a piece of cloth and Gwen couldn't wait to see how her portrait had turned out. "And let me tell you," he continued. "It was such an honor to paint such a vision of beauty." He exclaimed.
Gwen blushed, "Well thank you Mason."
Mason took her hand and bowed low over it, "no thank you." Looking up at her he placed a kiss on her hand.
After a long second Gwen removed her hand from Mason's lips, "shall we see the painting?" She asked clearing her throat.
"Ahh yes of course," Turning the painter placed a hand on the cloth. "Ladies," he began motioning to Milena and Gwen. "May I present your portrait." Pulling off the covering he revealed the picture.
At first Gwen was speechless, she stepped closer to study it more intently.
"Isn't it wonderful," Milena screeched in delight.
"Um, well wonderful wasn't exactly what I was thinking but…." She frowned, "its ...Interesting."
