Turning to examine her newest servant, Genevieve nodded in approval. She was an older woman who looked like she knew what she was about. Yes, she would do nicely in helping Genevieve acclimate to her new home. Genevieve smiled and dismissed the manservent before stepping across the room to the large, four poster bed. She wondered if the King had decorated the room himself. Next to the bed was a dark mahogany vanity, the glass of a very high quality and the table top looked to be of white marble. Genevieve sat upon the chair and took her hat off her head before shaking her curls.<br/><br/>"Elenore." Genevieve turned in her chair to face the woman. "I think I should like to rest a moment while my things are brought up." The older woman gave a slight nod as Genevieve continued. "After everything is in its place, could you pick something out for me to wear? I'm afraid my clothes are simply covered with dust from the travel." Her clothes were in fact<span style="font-style: italic">not</span>covered with dust, but Genevieve felt like Elenore was the kind of woman who enjoyed being in charge.<br/><br/>"If you would like to lie down, Me Lady, we can get you in a robe so as not to get your linens dirty." Elenore heavily suggested. Genevieve nodded and hid a yawn behind her hand as she stood, allowing Elenore to begin undoing the back of her dress after calling for a robe from one of the other servants bringing bags from downstairs.<br/><br/>"Oh!" Genevieve proclaimed, causing Elenore to jump. "I must introduce you to my own Lady's maids. I leave them under your charge." Genevieve pointed to the pretty blonde as she entered the room. "This is Mildred, and Lavern should be..oh yes, here she is." Lavern's red curls and freckles were easy to spot as she rounded the corner holding a tray with moist towels and tea.<br/><br/>"Here you are, My Lady." Lavern set it upon the vanity before handing Genevieve a towel to wipe her hands and face with. "His Majesty has had some dresses commissioned for you. Would you like to wear one to dinner tonight?" Elenore asked as she slipped the robe over Genevieve's shoulders. It was a beautiful thing made of silk with flowers embroidered along the cuffs and lapel.<br/><br/>"No." Genevieve thought as she pursed her lips. Thinking that's what he would want, naturally Genevieve would do the opposite. "Have them brought to my rooms, but keep them separate from my own gowns. I should like to use them when I get to know him better. As a surprise." Of course, Genevieve had no intention of wearing what he had bought her. She didn't plan on staying long enough. Elenore frowned, but nodded and left Lavern to comb Genevieve's hair while she went to see Genevieve's request done.<br/><br/>Upon returning, Elenore pulled a blue velvet gown from amongst Genevieve's dresses. It had silver embroidered vines along her bodice and sleeves with a few trailing down her waist and skirts. It was rather fetching and one of Genevieve's favorites. Now clean, dressed, and rested Genevieve followed Elenore to the gardens and only half listened as the older woman told her of the history of the place and it's rulers. The architecture was absolutely gorgeous. Hallways were full of tall, sculpted columns and draped in fine silks and linens. As she past, servants curtsied or bowed before continuing with their duties. They seemed happy, which was a good sign. It meant that the King was kind to his servants.
