Kesi took a wander to the libary after the Princess Daenya's visit to her earlier that week. She had very rarely been in the room before, preferring her own books but after several studious hours had found nothing and so resorted to the last resort.
She was dressed in a pale pink gown that was of Westerosi style, preffering to be covered up while out and about.
Once there she looked around, at a loss of where to start.

The library was fairly small and there were still a lot of shelves yet to be filled. Kesi knew that the Grand Maester would have books not in the library, as well, but there she would have to ask him about the books she wanted. Here at least the only guardian was an elderly man who was asleep half the time anyway. He was asleep now so she might be able to find what she wanted without disturbing him, if she was carefull.
There were some books on magic and some on herbs and the healing arts. Kesi thought these might be the most useful.

Kesi sighed, always forgetting just how useless this place was to her.
She headed to the section on magic, thinking that this would help her more then anything else at this moment.

There were books on different kinds of things, like blood magic, healing magic, manipulating the elements, the relationship between magic and dragons. She also saw a huge magical encylopedia.

Kesi picked the blood magic book first, truly not knowing what was really wrong with the princess she thought that this would be more useful to her little "Quest"
She flicked through the pages until she found a section on healing, and hoped it was the right area

The blood magic book wasn't particularly helpful except that it recommended the use of leeches for cooling the passions raised by unbalanced humours. Turning next to one of the other books she discovered that there were certain potions, creams and poultices that might be used for various ailments, and which might be worth investigating.

Kesi decided to read some more about some of the potions.
After a few hours of reading she closed the book thoughtfully and returned to her chambers

/////////////////////
Now war was over, Rhaena was happy to retake her spot in the Library, in a comfy chair that she had to replace from where it had been moved while she was away, so it was at the perfect distance to get the best light and the best breeze, even though it was evening.
She was wearing her hair down like a silver river down her back, and a loose fitting shirt, with more comfortable breeches. The shirt was open part way down her chest, but was still modest, and had the sigil of house Targaryen on the right breast.
She choose a book on contemporary law making, took off her boots and settled in for the long hall, curling up in the chair.

After a little while Kesi arrived in the library. She was dressed in her usual fashion, though her long light blue hair covered the bared side.
She was looking for a tome to check and idea that she had.

Rhaena looked at the person who entered the room, seeing blue hair and rolling her eyes, more unusually hair colours. She thought the woman who entered might get along well with her sister for it.
"Good Evening," Rhaena greeted, but did not get up from her comfy position, "Are you from Westeros?"

Kesi turned and gave a small smile.
"I am being sorry, last time I was being in here only man sleeping was company." She said, managing to sound apologetic. "No, I am not being from this land."

"Yes, I can hear that now," she said, she had not expected to have been greeted when someone else entered a room like a library.
"Where do you come from? If not from Westeros?" She asked, tilting her head curiously.

Kesi raised an eyebrow but seemed amused.
"I am being from Great Moraq." She said.

Rhaena narrowed her eyes again, at indeed not having known where that was, "It hardly matters," she said, though whether to the woman or to herself at the knowledge gap was debateable.
"My name is Rhaena,"

"Until recently being a princess was the easy part, now I imagine it shall be more of a challenge," she said, not affronted by what she percieved to be a dig, maybe making subconscious allowances for a foreigner, "It is not too much work, but sometimes it is nice to throw off the title."

"Just to be an ordinary person I can imagine is being nice when you are being in the light all of time." Kesi said, and wrinkled her nose slightly. "Too much attention can be being hard to be bearing?"

Rhaena nodded, looking at the other woman with a fair amount of curiosity, "It is easier, yes," not that he had much experience being an ordinary person, even when she was in the camp, she was still somewhat set apart by the men, despite insisting on receiving the same treatment. "What do you do here? I can't imagine my father keeps many people round with no purpose?"
