The Queen was in her palace. She was tending to her appearance. As incredibly pretty as she may already was, she found that she could still be more beautiful. Surrounding oneself with beauty was another one of such methods. When Mako came in she sighed. It was such an annoying brat. And he always wanted something from her while not being blinded by her stunning appearance. But he always brought her a present to it was okay to give in once in a while. "What do you want?" She asked. She didn't feel like listening to those long round a bound speeches, it was better if the other person came straight to business.<br/><br/>Mako entered the grand palace of the Queen with the due respect that he was supposed to show. In his opinion the Queen was quite annoying to say the least. But if his present was pretty enough and his request was sinple enough then he could often get what he wanted. He didn't dare go against her though, she could be really scary. When he started to go through all the formalities that were mandatory, he quickly got cut of by her majesty. Why did she make all that stuff mandatory if she didn't like it? So he got his present out of his bag. It was an accessoirie for the tail fin of the Queen. Pearls were used as beads to make a string with shining, sparkling shells and big pretty, clear stones as ornaments. The whole thing was way too overloaded and Mako didn't like it that much, he prefered simpler designs. "I wanted to give my Queen a present as a thank you for your graceful mercy, " he said with a bow wile handing over his present to a guard. The guard brought the present to the Queen who in turn carefully inspected the present. Nothing on her face showed whether she liked it or not. After what seemed forever she put it down next to her. To Mako this was a good sign because she had trown his presents at his face before when she didn't like it. "I humbly request of my Queen to let me pass freely through the tight guard of our territory so that I can gather more materials for even grander and prettier jewelry to frame your beauty even more," Mako thought that it was the right time to make his request. The Queen was silent for a while, during which she stared at him as if she could see right through him. Then she spoke again. "Fine, but don't make your present so sinple next time," she demanded. Even though Mako was angry, he didn't protest but thanked the Queen and left. That taillace had took him forever to make, to call it simple!<br/><br/>When Mako was gone, the Queen picked up her new taillace again. She found it very pretty. It was beautifully crafted, as expected of that brat. But she didn't like him so she was not going to say that to him. Afterall Mako was just a normal member of her tribe. She put it on and admired her beautiful and grand tail with its new accessoirie on.
