"What colour am I wearing, Alerith?" Her reply was flat as she smoothed out the invisible wrinkles in her attire

"Your Majesties," her head dipped in a polite bow, "The foreigners have arrived and are currently being escorted by palace footmen to their guest chambers, as per your instructions. The kitchen staff also report that they will need a minimum of 20 minutes more before the course is complete." Her head was still bowed as she added.
"20 minutes... hm... Let them settle in for 5 more minutes; then have the footmen escort them to the pond gazebo" Aithara's gaze drifted to the now approaching Alerith. "I hope you're ready"
