Nonetheless, when it finally ended and the hairdressers left and Tess insisted upon pulling her to the mirror, Fire saw, and understood, that everyone had done the job well. The dress, deep shimmering purple and utterly simple in design, was so beautifully-cut and so clingy and well-fitting that Fire felt slightly naked. And her hair. She couldnt follow what theyd done with her hair, braids thin as threads in some places, looped and wound through the thick sections that fell over her shoulders and down her back, but she saw that the end result was a controlled wildness that was magnificent against her face, her body, and the dress. She turned to measure the effect on her guard - all twenty of them, for all had roles to play in tonights proceedings, and all were awaiting her orders. Twenty jaws hung slack with astonishment - even Musas, Milas, and Neels. Fire touched their minds, and was pleased, and then angry, to find them open as the glass roofs in July.Take hold of yourselves, she snapped. Its a disguise, remember? This isnt going to work if the people meant to help me cant keep their heads.It will work, Lady Granddaughter. Tess handed Fire two knives in ankle holsters. Youll get what you want from whomever you want. Tonight King Nash would give you the Winged River as a present, if you asked for it. Dells, child - Prince Brigan would give you his best warhorse.
