I wake to birds chirping. I look out my window, to see people preparing decorations. The wedding is one more day away.
I dress and go down for breakfast. I see Laval isn't there, but take my seat anyways. Lavertus and LaGravis soon join me.
"Where's Laval?" I ask before taking a bite of fruit.
"He's getting his suit fitted." LaGravis asked.
"What's that?"
"Its when you wear your clothes and it's made sure it fits right, comfortable and looks good on the wearer. Now, you'll be escorted down to fitting of your dress after eating."
I am about to object but then I look at Lavertus and remember our late talk last night.
"Sounds, nice. I mean, I just hope I don't get poked with the needle." I say adding a awkward laugh.
The king and Lavertus join, but I know Lavertus feels my insecurity. After breakfast, he offers to take me to fitting.
"I know your still stuck."
"Yeah."
"Fitting isn't so bad. My suit is already finished, so is my brothers. Laval's will be done today. yours should as well."
"How long will it be?"
"Few hours, then break, then standing for a few more..."
"What?"
"I'm joking. You stand a few hours and take breaks between each. I hear your dress will be simple, but of course beautiful."
He drops me off in front of a room that when I look in, I just see a mirror, baskets of fabric, tread and a curtain.
"Ah Madam Crescent." A young lioness says bowing to me.
"I am to prepare your dress."
"Ok. Where's Laval?"
The curtain is pulled back to show Laval's smiling face and bear right shoulder.
"Looking for me?"
"Uhh..." My mind goes to wander if he's nude behind there or jus has the bottom half of his suit on, making me blush.
"I'm just getting started on the top. no need to feel embarrassed."
Laval goes back behind the curtain and pulls it back for me to hear the door close.
"May you please remove your clothes?" My fitter asks.
"WHAT!?"
"Oh, are you not used to this?"
"They don't do fitting where she's from!" Laval calls from behind the curtain.
"Ah, yes. The Omega tribe. Well, nothing to be nervous about."
I nod and strip as asked. I feel awkward, being nude in front of someone I don't even know, and Laval just a curtain away...
Cavora help me...
My fitter measures my height, arm and leg length, and waist and chest size. When she writes down the measurements, I cross my arms over my bare breast.
How long will this take?" I ask.
"Oh, a while. But not as long as Prince Laval's suit is. You will be done in a few hours."
Threes ok. I can stand three with a break after each.
Its been two hours and a few minutes, and I can tell this is a simple dress. A long white flowing dress, with straps that go around my shoulders.
Golden hemming's, a blue gem in the center similar to a Chi orb. I look in the mirror, and don't see myself anymore. I see a sparkling girl, who would be envied by all who looked apon me. My fitter chimes through my thoughts.
"Oh, you look beautiful! Now to start on the head piece."
A hour of her crafting on a silver head band, reveals a crown with blue gems, golden curls like a vine. She puts it on my head for a perfect fit.
In the mirror, the full outfit reveals what I think Lavertus meant. Laval only wanted a simple outfit for me, since I already was beautiful.
But letting him in, I still don't understand.
