Alruna smiled at Kaiden's back as he retreated before turning her attention to Lori. "Sometimes I wonder, you too. As if you want to push my silly old bird of a mother over the edge... not that it would take much, of course... But she mustn't know I invited you, or she'll think all of her children have forsaken her! You still look charming, even without elegant wear. You'd be astounding in something like this..." Alruna gestured at her dress, beaming at Lori, who had been much like a sister to her in their childhood, though they'd had plenty of squabbles being so close in age.
It was lovely, Alruna thought, to see so many people in attendance to wish Kaiden a marvelous eighteenth year. Donovan's party had been a little crazy, but despite their mother's hounding, none of the boys had found a match at that party. Alruna's party had been much more sedate, since Alruna had a heavy hand in planning the parties anyway. No one had put much effort into her coming of age, but she was secretly a little glad. It had been easier that way to feign faintness and be excused from dancing with awkward princes who envied the idea of wedding the crown's princess.
As the man approached again with a girl and presented her to the princes, Alruna turned her attention to seething in his general vicinity. "So Kaiden and Felix, who aren't even here exactly are important enough to introduce, but not the pair of princesses? I see, I see." Her eyes narrowed a little, but she was determined not to let her good spirits from earlier wane. Instead, she flounced over to Donovan's other side and began to pat down his hair where a small lick was sticking up.
