Lyranna's instincts as a handmaiden were absolutely uncontrollable.  The moment that Dawn began to undress, Lyra followed her without even a second thought.  She immediately took her heels and placed them neatly against the wall so that they will not be stepped on by either of them.  Her busy hands began to move behind the young Princess and help with the undressing of her gown.  Lyra's training was in full effect as she waited on Dawn for her every need.<br/><br/>But, more importantly, she played the part of the trusting and loving friend.  Lyra listened to her words as she went on about the troubles of her life.  Her warm touch caressed her skin while she removed the intricate gown that she was wearing.  Gentle feel of her fingers to remind the Princess that she was not alone and that she would always have somebody near by.  Taking the gown in her arms, she retreated for just a moment to hang it up properly and for the garment not to be ruined.  When she returned, she saw the Princess looking at herself in the mirror and Lyra came up behind her.  Touching her bare shoulder, she smiled through the shroud of her lace handmaiden clothing.  Smiling sweetly, she knew that the Princess was doing what was right.  It may have been against her heart, but she had to think beyond such selfish desires.<br/><br/>"Princess, you are beauty beyond either world.  I do believe your courtesan would agree with all of his heart.  A woman of your elegance has many facets.  Maybe you could show him that you are not the...innocent Princess that others would believe?"
