Lalita's actions had once again caused the princess to pause. Had she misjudged the slave once again?<br/><br/>Sighing, she turned her head away and spoke, "I'm... I'm sorry. I think I assumed something I shouldn't have. Please forgive me for my false accusations. Understand that right now I am more concerned for the well-being of my people than of myself. I have already accepted my new status for the time being and have prepared myself for what will come from it."<br/><br/>Thinking it might help to ease her new friend, Faridah turned to her and smiled. "We are equals here. Do not think so much of my station, for here it matters little as you have rightly recognized. Despite our different upbringings, here you are on the same level as royalty." Leaning forward, the princess took hold of Lalita's shoulders as if the reassure you. "Thank you for saying that I am pretty even after what I was subjugated to earlier. It means a lot to me. Though..." She tilted her head downward to try to hide her embarrassment. "Though you can understand if I'm a little... hesitant when you offer such lewd descriptions."
