She had not really remarked on it until this moment, but she was quite tired.  The entire ordeal had been nothing short of terrifying and even though she seemed as if she were in safety now, this was a world quite different from her own.  There was no telling if she was truly safe, yet.  The room he presented her with was stunning, as was the rest of the apartment.  She nodded and again thanked him for his hospitality and then did her best to settle into the well-designed guest room.  The sheets on the bed were almost impossibly soft, as if imbued with some magic of comfort.  Alice carefully removed the clothing that Azure had crafted for her, until she remained only in the under things.  She marvelled at the level of detail in the lace, not only for its beauty, but for the fact that it seemed to hold its shape and accentuate her curves.  She had bought expensive bras before, but this blew them out of the water.<br/><br/>When she finally laid down, sleep claimed her almost immediately.  She might have slept late into the next day, but a pair of soft, slightly furry hands touched her gently the next morning.  For a moment, she thought it was Jane waking her up so they could catch her flight.  When her eyes found the feline face, for a moment they widened, but oddly enough Azure seemed to purr at her for a moment and it set Alice slightly at ease.  "Do you have cats here, like small ones?"  Alice asked, her manners forgotten in her waking state.  "Some.  They tend to roam the wildlands in the southern continents.  Some say they are my distant cousins, but most of my kind think themselves much more refined than our feral ancestors and disregard any relation."  Azure smiled.<br/><br/>"Now, while my apprentices finish up the garments I started for you last night, I have been tasked with your care for the day.  I'll need you out of bed, of course."  Azure said, holding up a silk robe with both hands.  It was a dark, nearly black color with deep red and pink cherry blossoms decorating most of the fabric.  She led Alice over to the sitting area, where a brand new outfit hung next to the mirror there.  It was another set of casual clothing, but it still had a sleek and sophisticated feel to it.  "Now, get dressed, we have a full day ahead of us.  I'll meet you outside, downstairs, once you're ready."  Azure picked up the outfit and handed it to Alice.  She did as instructed and once she joined Azure downstairs, the rest of the day was a relaxing whirlwind.  Both over stimulating and amazing, she spent the day riding in Azure's carriage to various spas and shops.  Alice had done girls nights or mani/pedis with friends, but she had never had the kind of money to do a full day at the spa.  She was soaked, massaged, cleaned and then taken back to the apartment with a team of people whose purpose was not revealed until they were back in the guest bedroom and they were pulling out brushes and curling irons.  Everything looked a lot like what she was used to, but there were no cords or batteries, everything seemed to run on this magic that they had.<br/><br/>Azure disappeared for a short while, as the others painted her face and played with her hair.  Alice was a beautiful woman without the extra bits of glimmer, but with them, she quickly approached the border of stunning.  The makeup was clean and accentuated her delicate features, and her hair was curled into long, loose waves that framed her face.  When Azure returned, she held a large white garment bag in her arms, and the thing nearly dwarfed her with its sheer size.  She set it on the bed and gestured for the hair and makeup artists to leave once they had finished their tasks.<br/><br/>"Normally I would stick with darker tones when complimenting Mr. Cyncad's wardrobe, but I could not help myself,"  Azure explained as she unzipped the bag and revealed the gown within it.  Though the base of the gown was white, it had deep red flowers woven into the fabric and some that were attached as an accent.  Azure pulled it out and this time she did not have to ask Alice to disrobe.  Alice removed everything but her under things and stepped into the gown with Azure's assistance.  It was a strapless gown that hugged close to her form and fanned out around her knees.  Alice vaguely remembered it being called a "Mermaid" cut in her world.  Azure had paid particular attention to the bodice, which had boning and stitching so that it lifted and curved where it needed to.  From behind, Azure began to zip the gown up until she came to the clasp of Alice's bra, which she quickly undid and removed without any pretense.  "The gown itself provides enough support.  I need to get going to see to the finishing touches of the rest of your wardrobe, you will have to tell me if Mr. Cyncad is pleased with the cut and color of the gown.  Once I am gone, I believe he will meet you for a meal in the dining room of his home."<br/><br/>Alice felt sudden nerves pull at her, but Azure simply offered her one more feline smile and left the room, giving no more information about what Alice was to expect from her night.  She turned and caught her own reflection in the mirror.  There was a moment that passed that she did not recognize herself, she looked like some princess in a Disney movie.  Beautiful and about to walk into some kind of fairytale.  Alice took a deep breath and made her way down into the main part of the penthouse, waiting to see if she would soon be joined by Mr. Cyncad herself.
