Talia’s heart races as she sits across from Igneous and King Astar in the carriage. Her hair feels tight in its smooth bun, which did not help the nervous headache she was beginning to feel. The braid, wrapped around the bun and falling over her shoulder, tickles her skin as the carriage sways along the cobblestone street. She feels suffocated in her skin-tight, purple gown. Adola helped her choose it to compliment her mocha skin. Once again, her hourglass figure is the focal point of the outfit. Igneous wears a pure white suit with an intricate purple design. His silver hair is braided on the sides. The two braids are stuck into a top bun with two chopsticks and the rest of his hair falls in a straight river down his back. Talia cannot help looking at him as they ride into the town.
