The outfits I had commissioned for the royal hunt and fete had arrived and I was standing in front of my looking glass, appraising them. The gown for the fete was perfect and I'd tried it on first. It was now laid across the foot of the bed while I tried on the hunting ensemble.
The jacket was so tight I could hardly breathe, but truly that was what was required for an event like this. The skirt was loose and long enough to settle comfortably across Soir's haunches. It was the color I wasn't certain about. It was a deep rose and I wasn't sure I liked it on me. it had looked amazing on the bolt, but now I was having second thoughts.
I turned around to look at the back, hoping it would help me decide. If I could have drawn a deep breathe I would have sighed.

Emilio and I had decided to have a sparring session, to make sure neither of us were out of shape; on returning home I immediately made my way upstairs to change, only to see Leyna with a contemplative look examining herself in the mirror. "New clothes?" I asked interestedly and with a wink as I went to my own armoire. "I don't recall seeing you in anything like that before."

"It's for the hunt," I replied, turning to look straight on again. "I'm not sure about it though, the color isn't what I thought it would be."

"It's very pink," I agreed. "But it doesn't look bad- just new. Perhaps you'll grow accustomed to it, or you can always order another. It's completely your decision, and if you don't want to wear it on a whim there's no reason you should have to."

"I don't think there's time to have another made before the hunt," I said, sighing and running my hands down the front of the outfit. "It didn't look so…pink… in the store. I wanted green, but I thought that wearing a green dress during a hunt in a spring forest might not be the smartest thing to do."
Chuckling, I turned to look at him. "That's my dress for the fete," I said, gesturing to the gown on the bed. "I think it turned out lovely."

"Can it be dyed?" I asked as I stepped nearer the bed, looking over the gown for the fete. "You'll look beautiful to me no matter what you wear, or it's color."

"Thank you," I said, going over and slipping my arm around his waist. "Maybe I'm just being too fussy."
I looked down at the blue satin and velvet with accents of white lace that made up my fete gown and smiled. "Perhaps I'm just trying to figure out a way to wear this one all the time," I said, chuckling. "What are you going to wear?"

"Something comfortable that matches, I hope," I teased. "I've got some things coming back from a clothiers, but it will take another day before they're ready."

"It's so much easier for you," I said with a little sigh, even as I smiled.
I moved away from him and began to remove my hunt outfit and lay it out carefully to be put away.

"Well, at least something is," I retorted as I ran and hand teasingly over her shoulder before moving to sit on the bed next to the spot she was resting the outfit.

"Poor Nic," I said, my voice dripping with tease as I rid myself of the last of the pink outfit and went to find a robe. "Such a tough life."

Chuckling, I watched her move appreciatively as I reclined onto the bed. "Getting dressed again so soon?" I teased in return.

"Yes," I replied, looking at him over my shoulder and grinning. "I need to go check my saddle. I had to have a repair made to the cinch and it just got returned. I want to make sure everything is right."

"I would hate to see you fall at the hunt," I agreed, grinning back. "I think I'll just take a nap and dream of you remaining naked. At least I'll have that to comfort me."

Having decided to go out now, I forwent the robe and dressed again in the grey dress I had been wearing earlier and my boots.
Retuning to the bed, I leaned over him. "While you're at it, dream about what you're going to wear to the fete," I said with a smile. Then I closed the distance and kissed him deeply.

With a small sound of pleasure I kissed her in return, fingers running softly through her hair. "I think blue," I teased softly as I pulled my lips away after a good amount of time. "Do I look good in blue?"

"Almost as good as you look in nothing at all," I replied with a smile.
Straightening up, I caressed his cheek tenderly. "Have a good nap, I'll make sure there's food for you when you wake. I love you."
With that I left him to rest and I went to check my saddle.

With a loving look I watched her go, then settled into our bed and closed my eyes. This hunt would be fun for both of us, I knew, and I adored spending time with my fiance, my love.
