Tavyna started awake, her heart jumping as Shirin's voice shattered her eternal peace. She would have sat upright completely as the woman entered the room without waiting, but found that she couldn't because of something very heavy and very warm. Her gaze shot down to her stomach where she found Nassir sleeping comfortably on top of her. Her face flushed deep scarlet red as she lay there, eyes wide. First off... when had she gotten onto the bed? Secondly, when did he start using her as a pillow??
Shirin strode to the window where she drew back the curtains to let more sunlight in and began working her way around the room to gather things up and get ready to help dress the princess. Tavyna's heart pounded rapidly in her chest as she quickly tried to disentangle herself from the djinni without making it too apparent that something was sleeping on top of her.
"Shirin," Tavyna answered, a bit groggily as she finally managed to get herself off the bed and stretch, "What's going on today?"
"Come here, come here," the woman beckoned, obviously in a hurry. The princess did as she was asked and sat before the woman as she began doing up Tavyna's beautiful long hair. For a brief moment the nurse maid paused in her work to inspect Tavyna's hair, "You're hair is so beautiful today. Did you do something to it?"
"Eh? Uh... not really... I just brushed it before I slept," she lied, her cheeks turning a bit pink as she remembered Nassir brushing her hair gently the day before.
"Well, you should do that more often. There we go," the woman announced as she finished twisting it up and pulling some of the locks of curls from Tavyna's face. The elder maid whirled around and strode across the room to gather up a silk dress from the vanity for the princess to wear. She came back rather quickly and soon Tavyna was all wrapped up and ready for whatever it was that was going on.
She glanced over to the old woman and lifted an eyebrow as she asked, "What's going on Shirin? Surely Lord Kevah isn't wanting to have breakfast again..." she groaned a bit, "And certainly not with me dressed so extravagantly..." she continued as Shirin ushered out the door and into the palace halls.
