Princess Aelinor's Chambers

[gotgirl]

Aelinor then crossed her arms, looking at her,"Yes, just one more..."

Her violet eyes shimmered with a small smile,"are having a bit of fun at my expense, Rita?" SHe then began to chuckle lightly. "Are you?"

[Leman Harlaw]

"If I was my lady, don't you think I would come up with a more plausible story?" Not a twitch this time.

[gotgirl]

"Hmmm, I don't know..."she smirked,"You have always had pleasure in having a few jokes on me when I was younger." Aelinor leaned back, rubbing her stomach again,"Oh and can you see if the kitchen has any fruit or roasted meat, I am very hungry.."

[Leman Harlaw]

She bows. "At once your grace" Leaving the room, she braces herself on a wall as she finally laughs hard out of earshot of the room. Ignoring the stare of Ser Dennis, she then proceeds to the kitchen.

[gotgirl]

She shakes her head as she thinks about how Rita has been having comic relief from her all of her life... "She is Ironborn, she is my maid, not my lady in waiting....."Aelinor looked in her mirror,"Her advice is neither wanted or warranted... I am Queen, not my mother."

Aelinor then burst into laughter at her speech to her reflection. "I can not even take myself seriously..." She sighed lightly after her laughter had subsided.

"I miss how my life was before all of this...."

[Leman Harlaw]

Rita smiled as she walked up with a tray for the lady. Wind was shrilling through the window right now, but she ignored it as she proceeded up the stairs. Carefully setting the tray down, she smoothed out her gown and turned to the Queen.

"Anything else you require?"

[gotgirl]

Shaking her head slowly with a slight sad look in her face,"No, but thank you for asking, Rita.." Aelinor then picked at the food that she had asked for, looking at the fruit.

Then she held her mouth, looked at Rita wide-eyed and threw up on her room floor. "I am so sorry.... That was not very appealing.." She grabbed a woolen cloth wiping her mouth.

[Leman Harlaw]

"Ach my dear, it happens. How are you feeling now? A little better?" She yells out the door for a bucket of water, then steps gingerly around the mess on the floor. She opens the window, allowing fresh air into the room.

[gotgirl]

She nodded slowly, climbing into her bed and laid back,"I feel alright, I guess the baby did not like what I ate earlier...." Watching as Rita opened the window,"Thank you..."

[Leman Harlaw]

"You need anything else, just ask." Rita left the room to fetch her sewing kit. A gull landed on the windowsill, and stared at the queen with one beady eye. It didn't make a sound.

[gotgirl]

Aelinor shook her, with a small smile,"Alright, and thank you again." She watched as Rita left, then she noticed the gull. Tilting her head with a small grin,"If you came for the mess, it was already cleaned up..."

She then sighed, grabbing her journal from the small table and she began writting. IN her journal she wrote how she did not feel very well about the new Red Priestess and how it was just a little convenient that she showed after her father died. "I have to find someone to talk to her,"Aelinor whispered to herself, then she touched her unborn,"I will risk you to the shadows that killed my father.."

"This is a mess,"she then closed her journal,"I wish it was as before, when father was alive, when everything seemed so easy...." Slowly tracing her fingers around her abdomen,"He would have been overjoyed to know about you." Aelinor then smiled again, she then gazed at the gull,"I wonder would you carry a message like a raven would?"

She then chuckled,"That would be foolish to even think that a gull would be as fast as raven. It was just a thought of a silly girl..."

[Leman Harlaw]

Rita comes back in, kit in hand. Seeing the gull on the window, she shoo's it away "This is not the place for you bird! Out! OUT!" Sitting down next to the bed, she carefully arranged a pattern and begins to knit.

[gotgirl]

"It wasn't hurting anything, if I was a woman of a lesser mind, I would think that it was listening to me,"She chuckled, then watched her knit,"Will it be a blanket?"

"My mother can knit, very well, but the bookworm that I am,"she shrugged,"I missed all of that, but you know that already."

[Leman Harlaw]

"That gull is a plain creature, unsuited to being with a queen. You deserve a falcon, or a eagle my lady." She turned again to her knitting "I was thinking a blanket yes. For some little ones I see at the docks every morn. It must get so cold out there..."

[gotgirl]

"A falcon.... I think would like to have one, but to train it,"she smirked,"I think that would be left to my Uncle Markar..." Watching as she continued,"There are children at the docks? Why?"

"Are they waifs?"
