Rose's Quarters

[Rose]

Rose walked into the familiar room that had been issued to her when she recieved her shield. It was large, with another adjoining room that would house her squires. Right now it was filled with Rhianna's things, as she was Rose's squire at the moment.

She walked into her study. A thin layer of dust lay on the bookshelf. Many papers lay scattered across the desk along with several maps of Tortall. She shook her head and looked at the desk dismally. How was she to get work done if she constantly kept her work area like this? She bent over the desk and began to tidy it up. The maps were carefully rolled and put back into place on their proper shelves, the scrolls carefully rolled and put onto their proper shelves, and the papers stacked and neatly put away in drawers. Rose dusted her hands and smiled. Much better. she thought.

She exited her study and walked through the living area and into her bedroom. A large window overlooked the Royal Forest, and a large and comfortable bed adorned the room. A fireplace, which normally had a fire in it except for during the summer, gleamed in the sunlight, wood stacked in the holder ready and waiting to be burned. Rose opened the window to let a breeze filter in while she finished cleaning the rooms.

Rose stood in her room before the open doors of her wardrobe. A few bags stood out with spare clothes piled in them for their diplomatic trip to the Copper Isles and the Yamani Islands. Breeches and tunics lay on the bed. At the back of the wardrobe hung the silvery breeches and the satin amethyst tunic and boots that she'd worn to her King's Champion acceptance ceremony. A sheath that went with the outfit hung on a hook next to them. She frowned. Would she need them? Probably if she were to attend court functions in the Copper Isles and the Yamani Islands. She carefully took them out and folded them and placed them in a bag. Two formal dresses were also stored in there just in case.

She heard sounds coming from her squires room and poked her head in to see Rhianna busily packing for their trip. The knight smiled and returned to her own packing while planning their route. First she and Rhianna would go to the Copper Isles to speak with Aly Homewood and the Prince Heradite of the Copper Isles, also known as Alianne of Pirates Swoop, Alanna's daughter. Then they'd join up with Jazz and the rest of the group going to the Yamani Isles. There were people to look for, namely the former Lady of Longlake, Cynthia. Rose shuddered. She hated that woman.
