She did not deserve the people who were loyal to her, who cared for her, like Lyra. But she would be worthy of them, she would be the Princess they needed as they gave of themselves to make her life in this strange world even a little better, it was all she could do. The blond hugged her handmaiden tightly before pulling away, touching gently upon the other girl's cheek with a ghost of a smile tugging her lips. "It is always my concern dearest, for that is what a good leader is, the concern that watches over those that follow them. I may be new at this but I won't shirk my duties nor what I owe you. I can not say how grateful I am that you did this for me."<br/><br/>Dawn sighed as Lyra said she would show her the way, her own heart picking up a beat as she pulled away from her friend to go to the mirror, to stare at the cascade of her starlight curls, at the brightness of the gems of her eyes and the luminosity of her skin. Her whole appearance screamed sidhe. Her hands lifted, carefully undoing the pins that held her hair up for the ball, letting it free, but leaving the tiara that twinkled amid the splendor of her hair. She was a princess. She needed to remember that, as did the others. Goddess help them all. For a moment she lingered, Gwydion came to her, touching her shoulder, their eyes meeting in the mirror, his blue eyes searching hers and she summoned a smile to her lips.<br/><br/>"Let us go. Gwydion, please fetch Connal." The Harpist nodded and moved off to do so, even as Dawn carefully slid her feet into dove gray heels, matching nearly her undergarments and pulled a loose silk robe around herself to cover her skin. She couldn't walk through the corridors half nude after all. She focused on her breathing, on her purpose, trying not to over think.<br/><br/>"Lead the way Lyra, I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
