Thread: Skin Deep... To The Bone [-Haru & Candy-]

The fact that General Arcturus had graced the princess with an answer made the young woman smile warmly, hopeful that maybe not every elf was stuck up, snobbish or so painful to deal with. Upon hearing that she had done nothing and the prince, much like her, did not agree to this arranged marriage at least in misery they were perfectly matched. Devotionshe repeated with a note of uncertainty in her voice, unable to even fathom the idea of being a devoted wife to that spoiled, haughty pig of a prince. I suppose I have no choice in the matter, but she wanted to add, if I did, I wouldnt have come here knowing that I was signing myself over to be a babysitter to this spoiled princeling and would have chosen to go with anyone else, instead she said nothing, nodding slowly. If Amirah had known that the reason why the tattooed elven woman was sizing her up, the princess would have been completely repulsed, perhaps only a little. Amirah was the desert rose in her kingdom and it was not entirely uncommon for the princess to have countless suitors come and visit, peasant men come to bring her gifts or even women offering to tailor her clothes because they wished the princess fine body to be wrapped in something that they had made but the princess was naive in the fact that she did not have sexual desires or rather she did not enjoy the idea that those around her desired her in such a manner. Although she knew that being married to royalty she had one mission to accomplish and that was give the prince an heir to his throne. Just the thought made her shiver with both disgust for having to give herself over to someone as foul and to the actual idea of coitus. The princess knew that the elves were the descendants of the Gods, knew that they were graced with the beauty and near immortality but she did not know their biology, did not know that the Gods had given them the ability to procreate with just about any creature within this world and that the Queen Mother had even given birth to the Princes mount, she would have begged her father to take her home, she wasnt going to have any of the debauchery that the elves partook of. Having the Generals voice resound and pull her attention, the princess beamed and nodded, That would be wonderful- though that smile faded when he began to explain that she needed to change or she would garner unwanted attention, Ive already cause enough trouble even with my presence, I dare not wish to cause the ire of creatures I know can tear me asunder. Rest assured gentlemen, I am not on my human cycle as you state, I am within good health. Amirah weighed her options, she knew she didnt wish to stay cooped up within her room, nor did she have the desire to chase after the prince she did not chase and instead was the one to be chased, the prince would come to her in due time and if he didnt than this marriage would be simple enough. I would very much like to see them, but first I must change into something less-she looked down at the forest green dress that clung to her slender form, and the glittering of the gold inlay, flashy. Without another word, the princess turned and made her way back into her quarters, closing the doors behind her slowly before she lifted her arms, Ladies, please collect a new garment for me to wear, nothing flowing, nothing gaudie, nothing with gems or gold, I need something simple. The remaining handmaidens that had remained within the room quickly rummaged through the princess ridiculous amount of gowns and even armor and collected a simple black tunic that cinched tightly around Amirahs trim waist and a pair of black bloomers that had been tailored to hug the princess slender legs and round bottom. The human handmaidens removed the circled around her head and quickly set about unlacing the green gown, sliding it from her body with ease. Once she was freed, the tunic was pulled over her head and her ladies quickly cinched the belts around her tightly, helped the princess into her bloomers and quickly set about lacing up a pair of deer skin boots that reached the bottom of her knees. When she had finished dressing, she pushed the doors open and stepped out and smiled towards the two Generals, I am ready when you gentlemen are, feeling perhaps a little bit more comfortable now that she was once more within clothes that she knew and loved.
