Melania stood in front of the mirror smoothing the dark leather dress over her skin, admiring the pretty detailed designs burned into the leather . The split up the side and pants underneath made it idea for moving around and hunting . It fit her rather well and after little cinching at the waist it looked stunning . The fur cape that attached to her shoulders was warm and made her feel oddly safe in these foreign lands . She pulled her waterfall curls back into a ponytail and waited for the other two girls to dress .
Kyera came out looking as though she had never left this land . Her sapphire black dragon skin leather bodysuit fit her curves beautiful and laced up the side in bright blue laces . The fur caplet and skirt matched in deep black fur cut to fall across her hips in a asymmetrical way . Cora was dressed Identically but she had opted out of the skirt and wore a pure black bodysuit and leather knee length skirt .
Standing in front of these two lethal beauties Melania suddenly felt a little weak and small . The unnerving feeling vanished when Kyera grinned ear to ear seeing Melania in the dress . SHe seized her hand and coaxed her into a little twirl to show off her curves . "You are stunning, Melania . Those frilly dresses do not do you justice . " Kyera praised before letting go of her hand . Melania couldn't help but blush sweetly .

"You look beautiful as well . I wonder how the other girl's fared . " Melania replied not really sure how she felt about the obvious praise and kindness . They were supposed to be enemies . . . at least that's what she had been told . Yet Kyera seemed completely sincere in how she treated her . It was difficult for her to understand .
"Probably fairly well . To be honest, my dresses are simple and made for me . They will probably be more ornate and layered, but you will be warm . " Kyera reassured her with a smile . Melania smiled in return, finding she believed her . Cora smiled as well waiting quietly for them to move . Kyera put HeartString on her back and the quiver of arrows on the high side of the skirt balancing out the outfit .
"I don't have a weapon…" Melania suddenly grew a little embarrassed, realizing she had run away from camp without any sort of weapon . Kyera chuckled a bit .
"Don't worry about it . You use a crossbow right?"
Kyera asked as she lead the way to the front room of her suite . She opened a cupboard filled with her mother's old weapons . There was a rather sleek deep brown crossbow that seemed to be waiting for them . Kyera took it out and offered it to Melania .
Melania took it and began looking it over . It was nicely made, and well balanced it fit in her hand perfectly . This was better than her custom weapon lost in the forest . "I like it…" she commented with a smile as Kyera took a ornate leather belt and attached a quiver to it . She helped Melania put it on .
"There you're ready for the hunt . " Kyera replied as she put a knife in her boot before leading Melania out of her rooms . It was clear the Second Princess was lost in thought . There was a sense of amusement on her face that peaked Kyera's interest . "A thought, my lady?" Kyera asked and Melania sighed .
"My father would call you a fool . We are competing for the same title and yet you are so willing to help me . It is oddly unnerving . " Melania replied and Kyera nodded, not seeming offended .
"And you? What do you think?" Kyera asked curiously . Melania seemed to be a little caught off guard by the question . "Better yet, how do you feel?" Kyera added glancing at the other princess out of the corner of her eye .
"I must agree with my father . " Melania replied her response a bit too quick and Kyera chuckled .
"I didn't ask what you must do, or even what you are expected to do . I asked how YOU, as Melania feel . Not as princess or a daughter but as a woman . " Kyera replied, her voice both gentle and chiding . This girl had a lot to learn about sisterhood .
