<span style="font-style: italic">“My Lady!”</span><br/><br/>Genevieve looked up from her plate as the King addressed her. She was poised to speak a reply, but had to think about her response as it wasn't the answer to the question he asked.<br/><br/>"I would love to see a few." She finally spoke. Cutting a her food into smaller, more manageable bites, Genevieve let the silence fill the air for a moment. In all honestly, Genevieve was wondering how to go about discussing his earlier comment on her dress for tomorrow's outing. Could she go about it delicately enough that she wouldn't anger the King? Or perhaps lead him towards the compromise she had in mind?<br/><br/>"My Lord?" Genevieve began cautiously, trying to read his reaction. "I would like to speak with you about tomorrow." A part of her was nervous, but it would be very good to meet her future subjects. "I don't usually like being told what to wear," Honestly, if he had simply told Elenore what to put her in, it may not have been an issue...until Genevieve insisted on wearing something other than what Elenore suggested. "But, if my observations are correct, you have me wearing your country's colors. Although I am unsure of the reasoning behind having to wear a blue ribbon in my hair." Genevieve paused to take a drink of her wine.<br/><br/>"I had hoped to wear my own country's colors, red and gold, " Genevieve added for the King, but she was sure he already knew. "But I will wear what you have asked." Even though he didn't ask. "On the condition that you wear red and gold."this request would surely cause outrage. Genevieve felt the need to explain. "We are two separate nations joining together in union. Should we not show support of each other?" Get food had all but been forgotten. "If I am not representing my Faldothia's colors, for your own, then it's only befitting that you do."<br/><br/>There. She had said it. Perhaps he would see her reasoning. Perhaps not. Genevieve took another drink from her cup, suddenly thirsty, and continued to analyze the King's facial expressions.
