The journey to Thirmos had been a long and arduous one, to say the least. And she had been given the choice whether to come or not. Honestly, when given the offer to stay in Sevaviel, Sidonie had laughed aloud. Her? Stay? When had she ever given up the opportunity to travel? Plus, like Sidonie would ever leave Emmaline to face the royal family of Thirmos and her fiancé alone. Not that the queen couldn't handle it. Emmaline was tougher than most. But still, Sidonie was certain her presence would be appreciated, especially considering her excellent wing-woman skills. Well, she called them excellent. Others, including Emmaline, might disagree, but that hardly mattered.
Hm. Maybe her main reason for visiting was her desire for a bit of travelling? Possibly.
Sidonie stood further back, next to Eliza, watching the regal and collected greetings exchanged by the two royal families. They really were good at being... royal. Sidonie watched Emmaline with undisguised amazement. Emma was always quite proper, even when it was just them alone, but when in situations such as these... she really was a queen worthy of ruling Sevaviel.
When the prince brought up the king, Sidonie winced, her eyes glancing to Emma with nervous concern. But, as expected, Emma held up just fine, as calm and collected as always. Sid turned her attention to the prince, eyes narrowed slightly as she examined him head to toe. She had never spoken to him one-on-one, but was well aware that Em was quite fond of him. Hm. Handsome? Check. Polite? Check. Intelligent? Check. Kind? ... Sidonie would have to investigate further. There was no chance she was letting her best friend marry a jerk. Screw the law.
After the initial greetings and introductions, the royal families separated, beginning to mingle and chat. Sid stood back a moment, debating whether or not to approach Emmaline. Hm. No. She was talking to her fiancé, best not to interrupt. Yet.
She sighed, drumming the fingers of her left hand against the backs of her right's fingers, impatient and eager to get moving. Talking. Exploring. Something.
Hm. Best not to make a fuss, though. If these royals were anything like her parents, sticking out was a definite no-no if she wanted to get into their good books.
