Festival of Roses

Another day of this... After the death dream the previous night, at least today's was more pleasant. But still... She needed to talk to someone about this. It was too strange. Thus, she'd gotten inttouch with Mari and Kylie and asked if they'd be willing to meet for lunch. "Lady Mariessa? It's Alicent. May I come in?" She asked at the door of her pavilion.

Always ready for more girl-time, Mari had made sure to have some food brought to her pavillion for lunch with the other ladies, and she had busied her hands with some embroidery while waiting for Kylie and Alicent to arrive.

Hearing the familiar voice, she was quick to put away the needlework. "Of course, of course!" Mari hurried over and opened the 'door'. "Please, come in. I hope you're hungry? I sometimes think the servers suspect us ladies of being far more gluttenous than we look... It feels like they brought out a feast for us." She chuckled, gesturing to the food that had been set up for them. Indeed, it did look a bit too much for three little ladies.

Alicent glanced around the impressive spread, eyebrows rising. "So it seems. Apparently they're expecting three young knights who've been jousting all day," she joked as she entered. "Thank you for hosting, Mariessa."

Kylie came to the tent, excited to spend more time with Alicent and finally getting to interact with one of the Tremaine twins. She's hadn't had much chance to get to know anyone from the House and was happy to take advantage of the opportunity.

She called from outside. "Pardon me, Lady Mariessa? Are you in?"

"Ah, that must be Lady Kylie," Mari noted with a smile as she heard the voice, and soon enough she opened up the entrance to the pavillion for the second guest. The eldest twin curtsied respectfully to the Redwyne maiden. "It is an honor to recieve you, Lady Kylie. I am indeed Mariessa Tremaine. Please, come inside... Lady Alicent is already here."

Mari stepped aside to allow Kylie free passage inside.

Alicent smiled and rose as Kylie arrived. "Thank you for coming, Kylie... I appreciate both of you for joining for this."

"Really, it's my pleasure, Alicent," Mari offered kindly, gesturing for them both to sit and make themselves comfortable. "... I don't think I could eat all this food on my own."

Kylie smiled and curtsied as she entered the tent. "I'm very pleased to meet you, Lady Mariessa. Thank you for inviting me to your home during the festival." As she sat she laughed a bit at Mariessa's joke. "I'm honored you asked, Alicent. Now what is "this" that I have joined?" She said with a sparkle in her eye.

"I..." She took a deep breath and settled down as she tried to figure out how to start. "There's a couple things I wanted to talk to a couple of other girls about... Honestly, I wasn't sure who else I could talk to," she sighed a little and smiled at both of them, taking a long sip of wine before continuing.

"I've been having a couple of strange dreams lately."

Mari was glad she was already pouring wine for the three of them when Alicent spoke of the reason why she wanted to speak with them. At first she thought it would be something as innocent as 'who do I like the most out of these handsome knights', but well... that certainly took a different direction.

"Dreams?" the Tremaine heir looked thoughtful. "... Strange how?"
