(I've never been to Greece but I want to go so badly! I've taken 6 years of Spanish and have gone to Nicaragua twice and Spain once! I love the language and the culture so much (Both in Spain and Central America) and I get complimented as well! It makes you feel so good!)

Aurinda had been up for a few hours before sunrise, she didn't sleep much anyway. In the earliest morning hours, before the sky turned the soft pink that signaled the start of the day, Aurinda studied her mage techniques and books of medicines and alchemy. She was a daughter of Alchemia afterall, what use was her gift if she didn't know how to use it? As the morning swept across the island Aurinda slowly rose from her small desk and sighed, brushing back some of her hair and yawning widely. She quickly prepped herself for the day, dawning a flowing ruby skirt that faded to sheet at her ankles and a smile cropped halter top that wrapped about her neck. Aurinda made quick work of braiding her long hair and tying it back into a bun, her hat feathers hanging down from the bottom along her neck as usual. As she prepared she took a moment to watch the Elites morning training from her window. Her room sat just over their training yard, giving her access to every training they had. She's learned plenty and retained it all, in time her skill and knowledge would be exemplified, but for now, her mind flicked to her duties. Aurinda grabbed headed down to the kitchen firstly, grabbing Katherine a small breakfast for now. Varezian pastries, assorted for her choosing, and some sliced fruits as well. She poured drinks of water and juice and she balanced the full tray of food easily in on hand as she opened the door of the kitchen and began her trek through the corridors and up towards the king and queens suite. Katherine had deeply enjoyed her bath; she was now getting dressed, putting herself into a long dress that clasped over one shoulder, starting out as a deep black before slowly morphing into a beautiful blue. She examined her hair with a small frown, and realised she had a dilemma- her scarf had always covered it, and now she had a mass of hair reaching to her bum that she had no idea what to do with. 'Oh dear.' She murmured, tugging at a curly ringlet. 'I suppose I'd best start learning.' She sighed, deciding to wait for Aurinda to arrive instead of going at it herself.

Aurinda reached the suite and gently knocked at the door, before slowly entering, "Good morning." She greeted lightly. Though she spotted only one figure in the bed and then glanced towards the bathroom noting a soft stream of steam and she smiled lightly. Aurinda headed for the door with the tray of food and knocked lightly before entering. "Good morning, Katherine." She greeted as she entered in and spotted the queen. She smiled lightly and tipped her head to the side. "How long have you been awake?" She inquired as she set the tray of food on the long counter sitting ahead of her.

'About an hour and a half.' Katherine politely replied, after thanking Aurinda for the food. 'I've had a bath, and now I'm just wondering what on earth I'm supposed to do with my hair.' She awkwardly looked at the woman. 'It looks fine down, but we'll be flying to the kingsmeet and I don't want to arrive looking a mess.'

Aurinda smiled lightly to her and nodded, "Well, you're lucky I've got long hair too, I can certainly help and teach you." She told her brightly as she grabbed a brush and some trinkets for her hair. "We can do it up for the ride and pull it out when we arrive if you like?" She offered as she moved behind Katherine and began to gently brush her hair. "Or half back if you like? That's always an option and it's very easy to do on your own." Aurinda smiled at Katherine through the mirror and nodded, "It's your choice." She chimed lightly as she brushed through each section easily.

'Mmm...' Katherine hummed, wondering what to do. 'I'll have it up.' She replied, glancing at a faint bite mark on the left side of her neck, trying to resist the urge to wrap her scarf back around herself. She refused to be ashamed. 'I hope this meet will remain calm.' She worriedly said, chewing her bottom lip. 'I fear the emperor might try and cause trouble.'

(Back! Fun! How did the interview go Night?)
Aurinda smiled lightly and nodded, "Up it is then." she murmured softly. She listened to Katherine quietly and nodded to her in return, "I do suppose he has been getting rather boisterous about his positions lately hasn't he." she responded lightly as she glanced to Katherine before beginning on her hair. She began with two braids in her long hair and began tugging them a bit looser before tying them in a beautiful sort of bun at the back of her head. She fastened it with a comb that matched her dress. Then she tugged a few gentle strands down so they framed her face nicely and she nodded, "There you are." she told her with a smile. Then she settled into the seat next to her, adjusting her own hair for a moment, "You are courtly though, thorough with your thoughts, diplomatic, and the smartest woman I've yet to meet. I'm sure anything the Emperor throws to you, you will handle perfectly my queen." she instructed with a smile.

Katherine blushed at the praise that Aurinda offered her, and examined her hair once it was done, silently pulling down a curl on either side of her face to frame it. 'Thankyou.' She said, smiling up at her. 'The meet shouldn't be too long; I can request for you to come with me, if you'd like?' She asked, standing up and examining herself in the mirror. 'I believe Morcan is allowed to take Ulfric, so perhaps I can find a way to make them let me bring you?' She smiled.

Aurinda laughed lightly at the offer and smiled to Katherine, "If Aiden allows it then I will happily accept." she told her queen with a smile, "I haven't been anywhere beyond Varezi so why not take the opportunity if it's presented?" Aurinda laughed a little once more and smiled to Katherine, "Are you planning on bringing anything else I can help you pack?" she inquired as she rose to her feet and glancing in the mirror one last time before turning back to Katherine, her hands folded lightly in front of her as they normally were.

Aurinda laughed a little once more and smiled to Katherine, "Are you planning on bringing anything else I can help you pack?" she inquired as she rose to her feet and glancing in the mirror one last time before turning back to Katherine, her hands folded lightly in front of her as they normally were. 'Nothing; it's only an hours ride.' Katherine said, checking the time- they'd all be at breakfast by now. Taking a deep breath she stood. Her first family breakfast... this would be unnerving. 'I'm inviting you to breakfast with me.' She said, starting to walk. 'Pretty sure handmaidens are equal to whatever Ulfric is to Morcan anyways, and I have my rights.' She said, sounding like she was more comforting herself than anything. Katherine felt very bare and vulnerable without her scarf, scared to face the world and terrified of what people might think of her now she could not hide behind the cloth. She wondered whether she'd made the correct decision in choosing to remove it. She headed down to the main hall, took a deep breath and slid her arm through Aurinda's so they could enter together, and then walked in. Morcan glanced up from his breakfast of a few slivers of meat and some strange red Varezian fruit. He offered Katherine and Aurinda an almost nervous smile, then returned to speaking with Ulfric in quiet tones, moving his finger over a map and glancing up at him every so often. He was planning on renovating out the Elite Island, since they were going to put training on hold until more ancientblood's and sons turned up and tried to apply.

(I hate math! But good on you for wanting to do that! I admire people who can do math! I'm going for an Ecology and Envinronmental Science Major with a specialization in Ecology Education, and a Speech Communications Minor! *mouthful as well*)
Aurinda smiled softly to her and then nodded, "I've been with the family since I was young and now I am your handmaiden, I'm sure they will be fine with it." She assured her lightly. "And if they aren't not then, they'll have to face you and myself as well." Aurinda laughed lightly. Though she knew if she was meant to leave she would not be doing the talking for it was not her place.
While they entered, Aurinda placed her hand gently on Katherine's arm and moved into the dining hall with. She moved and pulled Katherine's chair out first before settling into her own chair next to her. Her eyes flickered up and down the table and to each person there. A spark of curiosity at the map before the two men. Before she averted her eyes back to the breakfast before them, "If you have questions about any of the food, just ask me." Aurinda murmured softly to Katherine, giving her a reassuring smile.

Ulfric glanced up at, smiling at Aurinda slightly as they came in, before quickly looking back down again and continuing to talk with Morcan.
Aiden looked up as they came in, then smiled slightly. "Good morning Katherine...I believe that I missed you this morning."

Katherine tensed slightly at his words, examining the food rather than looking at him. 'I wanted a bath, and I wake early.' She calmly replied. 'I believe Oceana is a few hours behind Varezi- I am still adjusting to the time barrier.' She eventually gave up trying to find anything that she would be able to eat, and instead just picked out a small piece of fruit to nibble on, looking up as Whisper trotted into the room, proudly carrying some kind of large rodent. She lay down in the corner of the room to start picking at it, tail wagging happily. Katherine smiled at her catch, happy that her dragon at least had found food she could eat. Everything here was either bitter or spicy, and nothing at all like home. They didn't even fish, Varezi having a rather prominent lack of boats and water elementals. She quietly finished her fruit and settled to sip at her drink. 'I'll be bringing Aurinda with me to the meet.' She calmly said. 'I wish to introduce her to my mother and she will tend to any needs I have while we're there.'
