She kind of glanced up at him, a little sheepishly. "I'm okay...Don't worry about it..."She said with a tiny, and still quite embarrased smile. She avoided his first question, really wishing she hadn't said what she had, or....at the least that they hand't heard it. "I'm...I'm very....very sorry...that um.....I fainted..."Celia added in the same soft voice.

"I don't really think that's it," Midare said to Aurumn, then blinked and looked over as Celia stirred, and woke.
She moved back a little out of the way when the Water Knight sat up and watched the two of them with a small smile on her face. This could be interesting ...

"How pretty," Micoi smiled at her reflection, she then turned to Neith. "Thank you." After a second, though, she added, "but I can dress myself, you know." Her speech probably wasn't of the same height of what the previous queens had used but in return, her voice held an accent that made it sound sweeter.

"I'll..."
I'll tell him now was what Aiketh had been about to automatically say. If she was required to do something, it was best to do it quickly before anything went wrong. For some reason, however, the phrase didn't want to come.
Well. She could just find him after the meeting. He had said he was going to be at the Dragon Fighters' Headquarters and Lord Jett probably wanted them to assemble quickly anyway.
"I'll go there straight with you." The words felt very strange to say.
"Oh, yeah, Illusia said something about that," Baran added, mood rebounding. "Anyway, I'm gonna go crash." He waved cheerily before walking off. "I'll see you around, then."
Nieth shrugged, tidying up the items on the vanity. She set the set the sewing kit on it and flipped it open, browsing through its contents.
"We will see." She pulled out a needle and several shades of dark blue thread. "Come here. Part of the gauze is fraying off and I need to sew it back on. Honestly. This dress can't have been worn more than a handful of times. Is worksmenship so shoddy in Arinas?"

Nadil "What?" Micoi said surprised as she headed over to the other. "No... I just lived some miles north of the northernmost villiage. Half my life I've hardly worn anything longer than knee-height," she explained. "And sure as hell nothing like this," she smiled.

"Well, this dress certainly seems to suit you," Nieth commented lightly, patting the wide skirt affectionatly as she knelt beside Micoi, threading the needle deftly. "This is a good style. I'll have to remember that when arranging for your new outfits. If there's time," she continued, quickly stitching up the tear, "you should try to come back here after the meeting. We can see if there's any nicer jewelry for you to wear tonight. It will be a very formal occasion, especially as it will be, for many people, their first chance to get a glimpse of their future queen."
She was well aware that Micoi did not want to have to go through the entire dressing process once more so soon.
"That should hold." Nieth stood, looking approvingly at her handiwork. The stitching she had made was invisible. "I've had my fair share of working as a seamstress for the castle," she stated plainly. "Now run off to that meeting your Lord called. Did anyone think to tell you where his office is?"

"You do that. Don't let any dreams disturb you," Liozu said, barely loud enough for Baran to hear, a cold, amused chuckle slipping out, as they'd both started to walk away from each other. He realized it would be more in keeping with the little vermin's personality if he at least kept something of a smile up.
It would have to be one of the friendler and cheerfull lizards, wouldn't it? But, honestly. No wonder s... he'd managed to slip in so easily. The vermin was way too trusting by far. Following faint memories of another origin, plus Liozu's memories of the castle itself, he slowly wound through the castle and closer to the meeting room.
No hurry, though. If he arrived there after the others, they would surely think nothing of it... These dragons were so unsuspicious. Which could only work for him.

((Illusia: >=P We're working as fast as we can!))
Illusia blinked once then smiled at her, usually she finished other things first but since this was his majesty waiting, he guessed they shouldn't make Jett wait too long. "Alright," he said, "let's go then." Illusia opened the door to his office wider and walked out, holding the door open for her.
"Meeting?" The young dragon asked with a questioning expression written all over her face. She hadn't been told of any meeting. "What meeting?" Really, what would be discussed anyway? That she could help with, that is. She didn't know anything about how they ruled the country, hell, she didn't know anything about ruling a country to tell the truth. Was she even expected to be there?
Micoi was suddenly pulled out of her musing because the younger maid in her room had picked up her still partly wet nightgown that she had changed into when her dress had torn in the fountain. "Oh! You can leave it there, or just hang it up somewhere to dry. It's ok," she smiled friendly at the dragon who looked to her superior for approval.
((Really, is she meant to? Wasn't is only the officers and knights?))

((...s**t, my bad. XD; It registered in my brain as "Officers and Knights/anyone who's important" >->; Let's see.))
Aiketh walked through the door then, as before, took it from him to let him pass. ((Dear God, memories... of seventh grade... argggkle...))
It was a matter of minutes before they were entering Lord Jett's office, the first people inside.

Apparently, he hadn't been drastically late; when Liozu wandered in there were still only a few people in the room.
Honestly, if it wasn't as important as it seemed, I could have spent this time to arrange suitable clothes, she thought with a sneer. Outwards, though, there was just that slight, kind-of bland smile on his face.
"It's good that your mission went well," he said with a lopsided grin that for a moment held something more than just satisfaction on Jett and the other members' part of a job well done. Ironic and darker, almost, but it was gone in an instant.

Jett was sitting at the antique desk, garbed now in rather somber black cape and midnight shirt, complete with a silver circlet. He looked extremely tired, but pleased when the dragons entered. "I'll wait to begin once everyone has gathered, though Baran won't be with us. I have given him time to rest." Time the monarch personally wished he had free for the same thing; rest.
"Um...yeah..." Aurumn looked away shyly. Then hsi eyes went huge again. "OH! RIGHT! There's a meeting, now! You've both gotta go to it!"

"What?! Oh no!!"Said Celia, hurrying to get back to her feet. "Aurumn, can you hand me my crutch please...?"She asked quietly; it was just out of her reach. She was upset, that much was clear, because she didn't want to hold everyone up again.

"Oh, ahh, yes ma'am!" He passed her the wooden crutch, then helped her to her feet. Then, biting his lip, and staring at the ground, Aurumn spoke again, "I'm sorry I made you faint...um...maybe we can talk later..."

((XD;; Just let Neith think the same as you did, Kami, but since Micoi didn't know of any meeting she probably won't be going. There, probable solved. ^^
And what memories? XD;; ))
"Sorry if we made you wait, my Lord," the Yellow Officer excused as he and the Black Officer walked in. "If you don't mind, though, I was going to ask him to come to the celebration tonight. After all, he was with you over there," Illusia said as he leaned on a wall instead of taking a seat directly.
((XD Also... he was holding it up because he was going to close it behind them and maybe lock it. XD;;; Stupid, lil Aiketh.))
