The bath is wonderfully hot and the aroma from the salts makes it delightfully relaxing. Daenya feels calm and content.
Leona, watching, asked "Shall I wash your hair?"

"Yes, please," Daenya said quietly, lost in thoughts and almost asleep.

Leona washed the princess' hair, remarking that it would look especially beautiful after it has dried again. She kept up a flow of inconsequential chatter as she worked.
"You have such lovely gifts," she gushed.

"I do, no?" Daenya said, smiling up at Leona. "I am glad to my family and friends can be so giving... I did not expect really many people to come."

Leona picked up the jug so she could wash the foamy mixture out of Daenya's hair.
"I would have thought everyone would come. I'm so pleased Baelon brought all of us to court. It would have been so dull to have been left behind. I'm honoured that your party was my first formal event"

"What is Sun House like?" Daenya asked, never having visited the place. "And yes, it was nice of him to bring you here. I... I will have to apologize for how I acted at the party when we met... it happens sometimes..."

"It doesn't matter. A princess can surely do no wrong," Leona replied. "Sun House is small compare to the Red Keep, but it's home. Arwyn says it will be grand again one day, when we have recovered from the war. But its been shabby since before we were born."
She washed the foam out of Daenya's hair and passed her the soap.

"That is a shame, about your castle," Daenya said as she began to soap herself, scrubbing thoroughly to get the day's grime off. "I am sure one day it will be a grand place to visit." She assured her with a smile.

"You are very kind, princess. Do you know if there are any nice young men at court? I need a husband."

Daenya smiled. "There are a fair few, though no doubt more will flock here now the war is over," She told Leona. "We can't have you marry yet though, or who else will be my lady in waiting?"

Kesi knocked on the door, bearing a small, plain but neat parcel for the Princess.

"Come in," Daenya called out.

Kesi entered and gave the Princess a small smile.
"I am bringing apology, Princess." She said. "And a present, being for your name day."

"That is very kind of you," Daenya said, smiling at Kesi, careful hiding the dislike for the sorceress. She would pay for what she had done.

"I am apologising, it was after you left with what I was giving you that I realised I had made wrong one." Kesi said, looking pained. "Lady Adara asked me to be making her something to give her more um energy in the chambers and I must have made it for you being mistaken."

Daenya raised an eyebrow but she maintained her smile. "I am sure it was a mistake. An accident."

"I would like very much to be making it up to you." Kesi said, offering Daenya the package.

Daenya nodded for Leona to take the package and open it.

Kesi winced a little and caught a little box that fell out. Leona was left with a delicate dress in her hands of a pale mint colour that stirred when air blew across the soft fabric.
Kesi held out the second, smaller box. "This on is being breakable." She said.

Daenya smiled, seeing the dress, before taking the smaller box. "Thank you, Kesi," She said, opening the other box.

The smaller box was a very pretty and delicate bottle of purfume, that when smelt was very similar to what Kesi herself wore.
The bottle was decorated in pale green glass beads in the shapes of flowers.

"And I can assume this does nothing else but smell like?" Daenya asked Kesi, setting the perfume down on the rim of the tub.

"Smell like?" Kesi asked quizzically. "Like I was saying I did not mean that you accepted what I made for Adara, this is not being something that I have been making."

Daenya studied Kesi sceptically for a moment before nodding. "Very well, I thank you. Now, if you will excuse me, I plan to get out of the bath."
