Rena looked at the TV when Jamel's face appeared on it. So that was her friends best friend. He seemed nice...for someone who was into trouble all the time like her new friend Shadow was. She looked back at Shadow as she waited for him to speak. She wondered what the story behind their friendship was. Someone had killed Shadow's friend but why? There had to be a specific reason. What puzzle piece was she missing that was linked to who Shadow was. So confusing. She looked at the screen but it had turned to another image again. Such a mystery but not one she would ask the answers to. If and when Shadow decided to tell her is when she would know. If he never did then she didn't need to know.<br/><br/>She tuned into Shadow when she heard him begin speaking. "Or we can go to downtown where that girl I saw the other day sells flowers for fairly cheap. Good flowers which have lots of life left in them despite being cut from the ground." She said softly. She nodded her head as he continued. "Okay." She said softly. "Party?" She was confused. Why would they party after going to a funeral? It just didn't make sense to her. "Don't be sad Shadow. I know its a sad time for you but...you should remember all the good times over this bad time that is happening right now." She didn't want him sad. It made her a bit sad. Even though she didn't know this Jamel guy it was apparent he had been very important to Shadow.<br/><br/>She listened again when he spoke once more. "Okay. Appreciate it." She said with a soft sad smile. It was a sad time but she was so happy go lucky most of the time it was hard for her to truly be sad. Listening to him speaking. "I'll see what clothes your mother has. I'm sure something of hers should fit me." She said with a nod of her head. "I don't have money to go clothes shopping. As long as your mother's stuff fits me it should be fine. Most likely not my normal attire...like this outfit isn't...but it'll do because beggers can't be chosers." She shrugged a bit. "I don't care if its new or old...so long as it fits I'm good." She said with a true warm smile. Standing up and walked up to the spare room.<br/><br/>Rummaging around until she pulled out a black dress. Holding it up to her. Shutting the door and tried it on. (see image below) Then found matching slip and realized the shoes were too big. Darn. She would need to get some shoes for this thing. She sighed. She had no money for heels. She changed back into the outfit she had been wearing and carried the dress into Shadows room. Setting it over his desk chair. Going back downstairs. "I'll need to somehow get dress shoes. I have enough to buy a pair but we'll need to stop by the shoe store. My feet are smaller than your mom's." She said. Stretching a bit but looked down for a second then back up. "When do you want me to change into the black dress for the funeral?" She said. Changing the subject or trying to.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://images.meredith.com/fitness/images/2008/09/ss_101273620.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>The servant nodded his head. "Yes my liege. Your will will be done." With that he left the room. He hurried off to give the orders to the spies and the guards. They were to one protect the princess and two get her to her father. Along with anyone else who was with her. His majesty would not tolerate them not doing as he willed.
