Dressed simply in black breeches and a grey silk shirt that matched my eyes, I stepped from my carriage and made my way up to Araiana's door.
Smiling, I knocked, glancing around as I waited. The door opened and a female servant took one look at me then dropped to a deep curtsey. Gently, I bade her rise and she showed me inside. I asked her to tell Ariana I was here and she hurried off.

I was just finishing with my mesh caul, it was deep green to match my gown. When I had met August my gown had been conservative, this time I opted for something a little more seductive. The front of the gown dipped showing the small amount of cleevage I had. Though it was still a conservative it allowed the showing of more skin and I smiled watching myself in the mirror as I placed the pins in my hair.
"My lady," The door opened admitting Adora. "My lord Prince is here." She stuttered.
"Thank you Adora," I said smiling at her nervousness. "I'll be down in a moment." She nodded and hurried away, but I finished quicker then I had thought and followed behind her. Moving down the steps I took a deep breath before I saw August standing there. Once I had reached him I curtsied slightly and smiled.
"Prince August," I said once I reached him. "Thank you for picking me up."

She looked beautiful, and my smile widened as she approached.
"Marquise Ariana, it is my pleasure," I said, taking her hand and kissing the back of it. "You look lovely."

I smiled feeling my cheeks redden with warmth. "Thank you," I said softly. "You look lovely as well." I grinned.

"Why thank you," I said, primping a little and giving her a teasing grin. "I tried my best."

I chuckled softly.
"And you did well," I replied. "Shall we?" I asked gesturing to his carriage.

"Yes, let's," I agreed, offering her my arm. "Where shall we head to?"

I took his arm gratefully.
"I have no idea to be honest." I replied squinting slightly. "You probably know the City better then I."

"We can head to Eglantine, that way we aren't limited to what's on display," I said as we headed out to my carriage. "Or we can visit the clothiers district."

I smiled thinking of the Night Court. "I think Eglantine would be a wonderful idea." I replied. "I haven't been there in years."

"Eglantine it is," I said, looking at my driver to make sure he'd heard. He nodded. My footman held open the carriage door, and I held out my hand to help Ariana up.

"Thank you." I said as I took August's hand stepping up into the carriage and settling myself in the furthest seat, I waited for August to join me.

Stepping up into the carriage as well, I took the seat across from Ara so I could look at her.
The door closed behind me and we were off.

I was hoping he would sit by me by I settled for his sitting across, I mean I was close to him already, what more could a girl want. Blushing softly I looked down at my hands as I brush the creases of my gown.

"Well," I replied. "Nothing exciting to speak of." I cocked my head slightly. "And you, how have you been?"

"Good," I replied, smiling. "Busy, but that keeps me out of trouble."

I chuckled softly. "What would you be doing if you were getting into trouble?" I asked curiously.

"Picking up stunningly beautiful women and giving them tours of the palace," I answered, grinning wryly.

"I see," I said with a unabashed grin. "I'm not sure whether to keep you busy or not now."

"Yes, a tough decision isn't it?" I asked, winking at her.

"I will more than happy to let you try," I said, chuckling.
The angle of the road changed and I knew we were drawing closer to Eglantine.

"I think so," I said softly. "Or aleast I like a good challenge." The corner of my mouth lifted in a wry grin.
