Calla walked over and embraced Joanna as well. "You have a glow about you. You look radiant. I am overjoyed to see you again. Daeron always tells me such things about you." She kiss her cheek, and plucked a rose into Joanna's hair as well.

"Godo things, I hope?" Joanna asked, laughing. "I would hate to think he told you bad things about me. He speaks well of you to me, as it happens."

Calla laughed, and stepped back, "He says wonderful things about every one. He tells the best stories. I could not wait to come to court myself."

"You've ghanged much since we last met," Joanna observed. "i remember a time when you did not care for court. I am very pleased you are over that and we can try to be sisters. You are part of my family, Calla, and I wish you to be made welcome."

Calla smiled, "I was more shy once, but I have entertained in the most interesting thoughts about the nature of social interactions, and the only logical thing was not to fear people because they were already judging me based on my lack of action,"

"People always jusdge, whether you act or not," Joanna said. "So you might as well do what pleases you. I for one am pleased you decided to act and I'm sure Daeron is too. You'll be a credit to him, I know, and it's always pleasant to have a new face at Court."

Calla exactly, "The lack of action is in itself action." She looked around the room, "I am excited to be at court, and I was invited to my first party."

Calla nodded, "And he told me that you could help me find something to wear. Which is doubly good because I have nothing fitting the theme, and the dressed I do have are all now too tight in the bosom."

Joanna grinned.
"Oh. That should be possible. I don't have a lot of clothes that are suitable for this theme, because even I am not that immodest but maybe I have something that can be altered to suit. Come with me."
She led Calla over to the tiny room adjoining her solar, which was nothing but wardrobes. From it she took a deep purple dress that was low in the bodice, short in the skirt and left most of her arms bare. The material was flimsy, almost transparent.
"This is what I'm wearing. What do you think? What colour would suit you best? You can't wear purple because I am., but any other colour will be fine."

"I have always liked brown and green." Calla said, her eyes searching Joanna's closet for dresses in those shades.

"I don't wear brown," Joanna said, pulling a face. "It's so dull! I have some green dresses though."
She found something green that she never wore, a thin summer gown that wasn't as flimsy as her own costume.
"We could cut this one down for you if you like Or..."
She held out a lacy white nightgown that only cam halfway down her thighs.
"If you like we could dye this green?"

Calla took the white nightgown, "I think I am going to have to work on this one as well . You are ever so much taller then me."

"Alright. I think it will suit you nicely. Wear some jewels and you will be very beautiful, my dear. You are quite pretty already, in an unusual manner."
