I walked smoothly through the streets of Mont Nuit, taking in everything I heard and saw. The dress on that noble would be more flattering in red, I thought. And that singer on the corner is a little bit flat.
I knew Cousin Sabrina was having a fete soon, and I figured I should pick something up for it, but there was no rush. Right now, I was looking for fun, and hoping fun was looking for me.

Clothed in a deep auburn embroidered with black and soft accent's of gold woven in with the black. My hair pinned up in white caul and a veil over my eyes, my lashes deep with kohl. In front of me as I walked was a young man coming my way, some what oblivious I smiled and looked straight ahead. My hands gloved in black fur and a small purse in my hand; I let my shoulder bump causally into his and dropped my purse.
"Elua," I gasped looking at the handsome boy. "I'm so sorry, forgive me my lord." I cooed, my voice melodious with hints of a Caerdicci accent. I curstied deep.

I was surprised, but not flustered, at the woman who bumped into me. Smoothly I picked up the purse and handed it back to her. "It's all right, madam," I said kindly. "No harm done."
Looking at her, I could see now that she was quite lovely, but frail-looking. Not for me, I mused, I like healthy looking women. Still, lovely and frail was better than homely, and her accent was intriguing. I wondered who she was.

I took the purse from him and smiled.
"Thank you for being so kind my lord, my clumsiness is only due to my lack of time spent in the city." I said keeping my eyes averted slightly and allowing my cheeks to flush.

So nervous! Was I so scary that she should not look upon me? I would have guessed her a Valerian adept with that demeanor, but she was too richly dressed, and hadn't been in the city long.
"Well," I said steadily, "I'm sure with a bit more time spent, you'll be just fine. It might help if you look up." I cocked my head in an attempt to meet her eyes. "I'm Pierre de Somerville."

I chuckled softly and curtsied again. "My lord Prince," I murmured. "Perhaps its just your handsome face that makes me shy away." I said slowly looking at him fully.

Her eyes were a deep sapphire blue. I wondered briefly if she was related to the Shahrizai. "You flatter me, madam," I said. "If it makes you shy away, perhaps I should attempt to be ugly."
I looked at her inquisitively. "I am sorry, but I do not believe you have yet told me your name..."

I shook my head. "Oh no my lord, that would be a crime." I replied to his comment. "My name is Marcella." I said smiling.

"Pleased to meet you, Marcella," I said. No title, I noticed. Maybe she was an adept after all.
"Where are you from, Marcella?" I asked by way of conversation.

I smiled coyly at the young blood prince.
"La Serenissima." I said softly. "Though my father was D'Angeline, my mother was Caerdicci."

"I see," I said. "I hope someday to see La Serenissima for myself, but I am still young." I laughed a little. "How long have you been here?"

"In the City?" I asked smiling politely. "Not long, I have a benefactor here. And only recently was I granted my father's title and moved here." I said.
"And you my lord, you seem to know where you're headed. Have you been in the City long?"

"No," I said. "I moved in with my brother soon after I turned 18. I just look like I know where I'm going."
I frowned. "Your title...what is it, that I may address you properly?"

I nodded. "Forgive me my lord." I said curtsying again. "Its Comtesse." I chuckled softly. "I'm afraid I'm not very used to it yet."

She was so obsequious, I was beginning to be a little suspicious of her. I was only a minor prince, after all. If she wanted something, she could go to Gratien, or even cousin Leyna. I didn't have any real power.
"Well, Comtesse," I said, "what are you about on this fine day?"

I shrugged slightly. "Nothing really, just getting some fresh air." I said smiling. "I lived in Camlach for a time and I really miss the weather."

"Camlach," I grinned. "It's not a place for the faint of heart, were you engaged in much training while you were there?"

I chuckled softly. "If you mean Namaah's training then yes." I said with a hint of girlish charm.

I raised an eyebrow. "Naamah's training? Are you Her servant, then?" My voice had a hint of reverence, I was as religious as the next D'Angeline.

"I see," I said. Judging from her garb and demeanor, I said, "You must do very well."

I chuckled bringing my hand to my mouth and covering it. "Like I said," I said after a moment. "I have a benefactor here. I wish I did this well." I said sweeping my hand over my gown. "This was actually a gift from a patron."

"It is very beautiful," I said. "Though it is nothing compared to the one who wears it."

Oh, yes, she was very, very good. Perfectly trained, so demure. I was impressed by her skill, and intrigued.
"I wonder," I said, "my cousin Sabrina is having a fete for Longest Night, and I have absolutely nothing to wear. Would you like to come with me to find something?"

I smiled tipping my head sideways slightly. "I'd love to my lordship." I said eagerly.

"Good," I said. "Now, where's the best place to shop in this fine city?"

I shrugged with a chuckled.
"I have no idea," I said with actual honesty. "May hap we should walk until we find something."

"That's a fine idea," I said, offering her my arm. "Comtesse?"
