"Of course you may take my horse too the stables," Naria said to the stable boy a little embarrassed. For you see she was used to doing everything on her own that it just came naturally to her to tend to her own steeds needs.
Meanwhile, Penn had stayed close by and desperately wanted to get the both of them dressed for the party. Naria followed her up to her room were Penn had already had some dresses put out on the bed. Since Naria's hair was so dark and had eyes to match, she of course chose a brilliant fuschia gown. Naria slipped the dress over her head and pulled the bustle down over her front. She looked at Penn and requested some help with the hooks that were in the back. After all of the hooks were latched together and the rest of the gown was straightened, Naria felt quite pretty as she twirled around for Penn. Naria looked around the room and found a thin leather strap and wound it around her hair pulling it away from her face. Since Naria felt that her transformation was complete she sat on the bed and wondered what dress Penn would choose.
Waiting for Penn to get dressed Naria found herself daydreaming about her travels and how exciting it would be too finally have someone to be with her to share her experiences. She also thought to herself, where and whom would want to take on an apprenticeship.
