[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6214625, member: 4936"] Though Sulannus didn't really have clothes suitable for mucking about in dirt and bushes, she chose one of her simpler dresses from the Fall of Summer, which was a rich, deep forest green in color, with dapples of lime and olive that cascaded thicker and thicker from the shoulders down to the hem, giving the visual impression of leaves falling. Her long, gleaming gold hair was gathered up in a bun, and mostly hidden under a jaunty cap that she MUST have bought on the road, because it did NOT go with the dress. Her handmaid, Hannah, kept staring at it when Sulannus' back was turned...looking for all the world like she wanted nothing more than to some how leap up and snatch it off her head, and destroy it completely. Hannah could tolerate the ugly leather sandals her mistress had elected to wear when it became apparent that walking miles in formal footwear wasn't going to work, because her dress largely covered them. But that hat. That HAT. [COLOR="#EE82EE"]"You three stay here,"[/COLOR] the high elf instructed her trio of vassals as she peered at the fortress with ill-concealed eagerness.
