"Welcome to our after dinner entertainment . Bead work is a favorite of our royal family . I hope you find some joy in it . " Crystalsa explained to Melaina as they took their seats at the table . Reever, his grand daughters and lady Rose sat quietly on their end of the table weaving beaded belts . The family nodded in greeting, but focused on eachother .
"It's wonderful, I look forward to learning something new . " Melania replied her sharp eyes already working out what some of the tools were for on site . The more complex ones Kyera began to name .
"Kyera, why don't you and the girls make sister threads? I think you three could make a beautiful braid . " Bryson suggested with a bit of a smirk . Kyera cast him a sneaky glance .
Advertisement"Alright . . . let's try that . Now we each need to make a a strand that represents us, then duplicate it three times . When it's done we will each take one of each others strands and braid them . In the end we should have a lovely beaded band . " Kyera explained and the girls began beading and talking till all three bands were complete . Melania marveled at the moment, but did not think too much about tomorrow . For now… she would enjoy the moment .
When the girls finished, there were three bracelets of purple for Kyera, silver for Lalia, and green for Melania were woven into lovely beaded bracelets . Kyera slid hers on .
"It is lovely . " Melania marveled as she turned the beads in the light . The colors played off each other in the braid, shimmering beautifully . The leather cords were sturdy and the clasp fit nicely .
"Yes, it is . You three blend well together . " The Matriarch offered .
"It is a rare color combination for a sister band as well . Mother where is Lilith and the girls? I am sure they would love to see Kyera . " Reever commented off handedly, only to receive a look from Rose .
"Lilith and her grand daughters had other plans for tonight . The opera I believe . " Bryson offered, trying to sooth Kyera who had tensed at the mention of her cousins . "Sansor and Ramsey are patrolling the gates . " He continued to explain the few people absent from the activity .
In the end, Kyera was the first to get tired, and slowly rose to her feet . "I am afraid the baby and I are tired and with a early rise, I must rest . " Kyera offered apologetically . Crystalsa smiled and shook her head, her eyes filled with indulgence and love .
"Not at all deary, off to bed with you . " Crystalsa replies and Kyera smiled kissing the older women's face .
"Good night girls, please feel free to enjoy yourselves . You can sleep in the carriage if need be . " Kyera offers nodding before she turns to the door where Kan awaits . Kan smiled at her and nodded to the room before following her up stairs, Lazren at her other side .
"Was it successful, my Lady?" Lazren asked as she lead the way back toward her suite . Kyera nodded .
"Other than the near death of one of the Princesses it seems we all got pretty good kills and made it back alive . The baby and I fared well and honestly I'm exhausted . I think I need to avoid healing while pregnant . " Kyera admitted with a bit of a sigh . That was going to be so much easier said than done .
"It is probably for the best . " Lazren agreed, glad she came to that conclusion on her own .
"I don't know why you did something so foolish to begin with . Approaching a bear like that in your state . " Kan rebuked her firmly . There was a certain form of anger in his voice that made Kyera flinch . She felt like a child being scolded by her brother again . Then realization dawned .
"How did you know I approached the ursa Superior?" Kyera asked looking at Kan out of the side of his eye . His expression didn't let on to his slip up .
"You said you had to heal it . How else would you have done so?" Kan fired back raising an eyebrow .
