"I'm sure I'll find myself with an abundance of odd cravings sooner or later. I just hope they aren't too odd... but then again, I don't think I'll be too fussy if I find myself able to keep those cravings down." She chuckled, some of the tension in her shoulders fading as the other planned what to do with her hair. Carina would never admit it, because why would anyone ever do it, but she enjoyed her hair being played with. It relaxed her, so long as no knots were formed. It often brought back fond memories of her mother, who she had lost at the age of 11.
Whenever Carina complained of a nightmare, she would always be welcomed into the space between her mother and father. Even if the latter often grunted and rolled over to show his back. Her mother would stay up with her, whispering stories to her while stroking fingers through Carina's hair until she fell back to sleep again, comforted by the smell of rosewater and lavender.
Clearing her throat, the young queen pushed back the bittersweet memories to smile at Lauren's next words. "You're a cheeky arse sometimes, you know that?" She teased back, wanting so much for this to have just been how it was. With Lauren as her friend and she not having to worry about some ogre of a husband waiting for her downstairs at the breakfast table.
She did wonder what it would be like, should their plan work and the two of them accomplish what they currently only dreamed of.
They wouldn't have to do anything they didn't want to, their friendship wouldn't need to remain a secret. Lauren could be bumped up in station and Carina knew she would have her friend as her adviser in a flash. There would be no hesitation about that whatsoever. No one would be able to argue against that, no one even could. Who would, once they had achieved what they sought to? Carina's people had been massacred, the Ignisi people would be forced to obey through Carina's powers.
Her nose wrinkled at the idea of the pretentious necklace hanging around her throat, but she knew Lauren was right. Besides, it would sit well with the neckline of the dress she had on. She could envision the end jewel nestled between the top of her bosom. And the colours would match perfect with her outfit. Carina would never admit it, but she did secretly like the necklace's design, she only wished it were in Eirian colours... and that it didn't hold the meaning it did. Given to her by the former queen of Ignis as a statement of whom Carina now belonged to.
"You're right," she murmured finally in agreement, "Not to mention, the more Ignisian I look while expelling Eirian ice will be equally as amusing as reminding the crowd just who I am to them." Her back straightened and her shoulders pushed back, the grin once more appearing, "I hope this day truly is as fun as I'm envisioning it to be."
