"My dear, I'm rather sure nearly any of us would be delighted to assist with your state of undress."<br/><br/><div class="floatright">   (https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t31.0-8/s960x960/291116_297171270294600_935507595_o.jpg)</div>The raven on his shoulder emitted a short caw that began as jealous rebuke and changed in tone to admitting agreement.  She dropped from his shoulder, flickering in a moment to the form of a pretty girl, her eyes theatrically wide as she moved to touch Sariel.  "Don't let the men near you!  I'll do it!  I'm very good with clothing."<br/><br/>Nys turned his look to Olivia.  "Dearest, I quite literally can't recall a time you helped a pretty girl get<em>into</em>clothing.  Do you have any experience with armor?"<br/><br/>Olivia shrugged.  "There are...buckles?  I'm very good with buckles."  She turned a pouting look to Sariel.  "You can punish me if I do badly!"<br/><br/>Clearing his throat in with a pointed look as they entered the throne room, Nys strode forward to sketch a deep, elegant bow.  He wasn't entirely certain about monarchy - the lack of bloody competition for leadership seemed uncertain - but manners were vital.  "Your graces, we are honored.  Nor can we ask any greater honor than the safety of our people."  That was foolishness, of course - there were all sorts of rewards that flashed through his merchant's mind as a matter of course - but this was no time to strike the best deal, even for him.  Besides, there would hopefully be plenty of time to capitalize on the humility later.
