[queen_oracle]

"You missed me! Promise you missed me!"

Her hair is braided and braided into hundreds of tiny cornrows, and she's wearing a dress from Africa, a loose cotton dress with a broad embroidered collar, the sleeves wide, patterned brightly with elephants, and a cotton sash tied over her head. Her sandals have cowry shells sewn onto them.

"Always, kid. Though maybe I'm just insulted you've been off vacationing with out me," he said, lightly.

[queen_oracle]

"I should have asked if you wanted to go along. I'm sorry!" smiling at him incredibly.

[mancalledspade]

He shrugged. "Least you didn't abandon me to this place altogether. How was... wherever you went."

[queen_oracle]

"Africa. It was wonderful. Did anything exciting happen while I was gone?"

[be_my_me]

*laughs and bows (and is secretly a little appalled at her clothes)* 'Tis certain that I have, good Madam.

[queen_oracle]

"Oh, good. I'd've been disappointed otherwise."

"Obviously I'd like it if you had," Mickle says cheerfully, smoothing her dress.

[revmother_livia]

"In that case I'm sorry to disappoint," she says smoothly, crossing her arms and looking amused. "Perhaps if I'd known you were gone."

[queen_oracle]

"Westmark. Are you from Africa?"

[thesunbird]

"Aksum. Where is Westmark?"

[queen_oracle]

"Near Regia, and next to Napolita."

You doubt it? *doffs his hat, sweeps a low bow, and tries not to look too closely as what she's wearing* Your ladyship is right welcome back to... well, the Mansion.

[queen_oracle]

Mickle thinks her dress is perfect, so there. "Thank you so much."

[winestains]

*would not dare comment, because hello, Queen* Do you have any luggage? I like your hair. It's very-- avante gard.

[queen_oracle]

Ex-Queen, says Mickle. "No, nothing. Thank you," with obvious delight. "It took ages."
