Eleyna Toland walekd through Sunspear towards the Tower of the Sun, looking for Princess Emelia. She was clothed in green silks, loose and flowing, and sandals that laced up to just below her knee.

She found Princess Emelia lying on a divan in the gardens. She lay back with her head in the lap of a beautiful woman from the Summer islands. Naomi, the Princess current consort, feed her grapes, and giggled at Emelia's gentle touch on her arms.

It has always seemed odd to Eleyna that some women preferred other women, even after she had been residing at Sunspear for years. She was practised in keeping quiet about it though so she smiled warmly at the princess and her consort.
"Princess Emelia, I hope I do not intrude?" She asked

Emelia looked at Eleyna, and offered the same warm smile a cat gives a tasty looking mouse, "Of course not, please come and sit. Have a grape they are divine."

Her silk skirts waved gently around her ankles She walked over and picked a grape from the bunch.
"Very sweet. Perfectly ripe, I'd say."
She seated herself close by the princess and pushed her long hair back over her shoulders.
"Is there anything I can do to help you prepare for the arrival of your lords and ladies, princess?"

Emelia places her sandaled feet into Eleyna's lap and says, "Do you mind helping me with my sandals. I wish to feel the grass between my toes for a moment." She smiles warmly at the younger woman, and her hand caresses the face of her consort.

She was used to Emelia's ways by now so Eleyna wasn't surprised. She had helped the princess with her sandals a few times in the past, anyway. She undid them with ease and put them carefully aside.
"Does that feel better?"

Emelia smiled, and her foot gently caressed the inside of Eleyna's leg as if by accident. She continued speaking, but left her feet in the lap of the younger woman, "It feels wonderful, thank you. I think I will want you to sit close by my side at these meetings ahead. It would be a valuable learning experience for a girl so ripe."

After being shown to their rooms, Myranda had been told that she would find their host in the water gardens and, reluctantly left Marq to organise things in order to not keep Princess Emelia waiting.
She had quickly washed and changed into her house colours and followed directions to the gardens. Seeing three women seated, she went over, and gave a low Curtsey.
"Your highness." She greeted quietly, but with relative confidence.

Eleyna knew better than to flinch from the princess' touch but she did not encourage it in any way.
"I'm six-and-twenty and a widow, hardly a girl, but I will be glad to sit with my princess," she said. "I wrote my mother, urging her to come to the council."
She looked up with interest at the newcomer and smiled a welcome.

Emelia stood slowly, and walked over to take Myranda in a tight embrace, "My dear it is so good to see you again. It seems to have been years." She took the Allyrion's hands in hers, and admired her closely, "You are a woman now, not a girl any longer."

When the Princess hugged her she put one hand lightly on her back in return and smiled, the smile staying as they pulled back from one another. She didn't blush under scrutiny, for which she was grateful for.
"Thank you. Turning seventeen does that." she said, smile turning into a grin. she didn't remember much about there last meeting at all, if she was honest, "I don't even feel I have changed that much, but when I look at Marq and how much he has grown it must be the same for me."
Myranda looked over Emelia's shoulder at the other and smiled again, "I don't believe we have had the pleasure."

Emelia smiled, and said, "This is my consort, Naomi, and one of Ladies, Eleyna." She wink winks lewdly, "Is she not lovely?"

"They both are. You're very fortunate to have such lovely people around you, there is no one very beautiful at Godsgrace now, the only other lady is my plump aunt Leona." she said, with a soft laugh. She had heard of the Princess's consort, from gossip that reached them, she turned a bit, and looked straight at the woman the Princess had her feet on, "Elenya of house?" she asked, she only knew of one Elenya, but she assumed that Elenya would look much older, having been married to her uncle.
