Some time after the feast for the dead Lord Hand, to cheer the spirits of the ladies at court. Invitations are sent out to the prominent ladies, which include the Queen, Princess Joanna, and Becca Thatcher. Ladies are allowed to bring guests but no men are allowed. The party is held in the Garden of the Red Keep and there are tables with many tasty treats, fruits and vegetables of all sorts. The tables also abount with bowls and small fountains of Arbor Gold and Summerwine. The Servants are all dressed up prettily, the males being the most handsome of the servants available but there was still female servants as well.

Septa Aalina arrived, after having been told by Princess Joanna that she should attend.
She didnt quite know why she was there as she hardly knew the girl.

Ary was in a light orange dress and greeted everyone who came into the garden. She smiled at the Septa, "You must be Princess Joanna's friend. Was it Septa Ali? I'm glad that you could come."

"Aalina." She corrected gently. "Septa Aalina. I count myself as one of the Princesses friends yes. We have known each other many a year. Thank you for inviting me Lady Aryanna. It is good to be out."

Arya curtsied to the Queen and those who followed her. She gave them all big smiles and thanked them for coming. "Please enjoy yourselves, there is plenty of wine and food. There will be some small games to heighten the mood. If you have any questions please come see me." She thought that the environment would spur conversation and gossip so she could get a reputation as being a good party host.

"Aalina." She corrected gently. "Septa Aalina. I count myself as one of the Princesses friends yes. We have known each other many a year. Thank you for inviting me Lady Aryanna. It is good to be out." "My apologies. It strikes me odd that we have not met sooner, and I wonder if the princess has hid you away from the rest of us? Perhaps you cannot drink, but there is plenty fine food here. Where did you grow up?" |

Aalina smiled.
"I grew up here before the war and the Sept ever since my Lady. I spend my time with the children, that is possibly why you wouldnt have seen me Lady Aryanna. I have known the royal children all my life."

"Oh that's very fortunate then, to be able to spend time with the princess and her family. I don't suppose you take part in the idea of court or talk about it much with the princess?"

"I take the children, as part of their education." Aalina said. "All women should at least taste court once."

"Yes that is true. There are definately lessons to be leanred and gained. Besides it is good to get to know the King and Queen and other nobles of the kingdom. May I ask what you do in your free time?"

"But do you have fun doing it? On one hand it must be very fulfilling, but on the other it seems like it could get tedious, living by the rules of the Faith."

Aalina's mouth twitched slightly, as if she was going to smile but thought better of it.
"The faith keep me occupied My Lady. There is much to learn that I have time to do so."

"Ah." Arya said, not fully satisfied with the answer, but thouht better than to drive on with her curiosity. "Well I hope you find things agreeable, I'm sure Princess Joanna will be along shortly, and I hope that you are not offended by the wine."

Hope you all are well and happy.
