Mati took inspiration from this place willingly and eagerly. Soaking it in like a sponge. She was already envisioning the paintings that might come of her and Rio’s adventures in the castle. Of course her eyes were bigger then her stomach in a way. She wouldn’t likely get a single painting out of this trip if that. There was so much that she needed to do already in the field of commissions, so many ideas and so few canvases. But the place was enchanting all the same, and made her wish to be in the times or in a place where they all lived in buildings like this and bowed and curtsied to one another and spoke in pompous royal tongue.
She watched as the other female strode up the few stairs, her slow approach to the throne and the wonderment that was left on her sable painted face. When she sat Mati stood from her bow and gave an elaborate wave of her hand and spoke a, Certainly her tone drawn out and as foolish and elaborate as all her other motions were. Her hands rose from her sides, fingers pinched together as if a long puffy dress needed to be held up as she tapped up the steps quickly. Sitting in the chair beside her sister, all her worries of being realistic out the window. It was hard beneath her, uncomfortable and surprised to find it so. She would have figured that such a chair would have been designed plush and as inviting to her rump as it was her eyes.
Sitting so straight was hard on her back as well. Thought these would be more comfortable. She whispered to Rio, as if there was an audience that she didn’t want to hear her complain. But I guess being royalty has its downfalls. She teased.
