One woman's gaze in particular lasted long enough that Odel was actually able to look over and catch her staring. She was a human woman, with snow white hair like her own, absolutely buried in servants, washing and attending every inch of her body. She blushed slightly, her normally grey blue eyes taking on a dim golden glow that would cut through the fog, making it very clear to Elizabeth that Odel was returning her gaze. In an attempt to not come off as hostile or weird she gave a small smile and a tiny wave with her fingers. There was something about the human that seemed...dangerous. Perhaps she was sensing her ambition, or the air of superiority that seemed to radiate from every poor of her body. Either way she came off as either someone who shouldn't be messed with...or someone who very much<em>believed</em>they shouldn't be messed with regardless of their actual status.<br/><br/>With a small sigh Odel broke her gaze and returned to bathing herself, bringing up great handfuls of the steamy water to cascade down her body, almost looking like tiny rivers flowing down a mountain. A few particularly brave servants slowly approached the girl and offered their assistance, but she politely declined them. She was not the sort who needed assistance just to wash herself, besides with how large she was the tiny hands of a few human servants wouldn't have provided that much extra coverage anyways. She carefully washed and scrubbed every inch of her body, the servants providing an extra large brush (designed specifically for larger races such as herself) for her to give extra attention to her hair and tail, making sure it was both extra fluffy and had a healthy sheen.<br/><br/>As she worked she couldn't help but overhear the other two queens fraternizing on the other side of the bath. Again the dragon would become flustered as she witnessed the very obvious foreplay they were engaged with, the two queens touching each other as if they were lovers themselves. However instead of being turned off by this it seemed to make something click. That's right, they were all getting married together right? She had assumed they were all meant to just be married to the prince alone, but had she been mistaken? Was this instead supposed to be a more polyamorous arrangement? She supposed that made sense, if they were all bound by the same ceremony...it was a common cliche that 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend' was it then also true that 'the wife of my husband is my wife'? Would these women all become Odel's wives just as they would be the prince's? She hadn't even considered that before, and it made her feel a bit foolish. She had been under the impression that this was some kind of "competition" between them, perhaps that had been a misunderstanding, born from her draconic nature, a natural inclination towards violence.<br/><br/>Ofcourse this was just more of Odel's inexperience and ignorance showing. Most of the queens indeed see this arrangement as a competition, a marriage purely for the sake of power and the other wives as nothing but obstacles in their way. And all Odel had managed to do was convince herself of the<em>opposite</em>of the common understanding.
