Arania passed Amelia a bar of sweet-scented soap and a cloth. "The King seems to be the sanest of the lot, and at least Prince Aenys isn't set on world domination. The sisters...the ones I met, anyway, seem to be pretty off, though."

"The ones that... slept with the Prince?" Ami asked, scrubbing the dirt from her skin and hair. "I do not imagine they are the most clearheaded. But you are right, we have to let the king know."

"Yes, those ones," she said with distaste. "Ugh, I can't believe he let them get close enough to..." She shuddered. "Should we go after your bath? And a meal, of course. I sent for one, and it should come soon."

"That sounds like a good idea; I am starving!" Amelia said. For a moment she wanted to tell Arania about the rape, the strange hut... but no, she would keep those a secret. "So, what is the king like? Tell me more about him!"

"The king..." She thought a moment. "He is very pleasant and easygoing. Handsome, too." She giggled. "He doesn't seem to be as secretive as the others. When I asked him a question, he answered it without hesitation."

"Handsome, hmmm?" Ami said, giggling as well. "It is good to know that the man in charge is not one of the mad ones. It seems he is honest too." She dunked her head under water to wash the soap out. "Do you still have that dress I gave you?"

"Of course I do...not that its been worn more than the once. Why do you ask?"

"I may need it," Ami said with a wink, getting out of the tub. "Now, we both need to wear our best dresses when we go speak to the king. We want to look pretty! No, we want to look delicious!"

The food came at last, the serving man who brought it not giving Amelia's naked body a second glance as he laid the steaming covered trays out on the table. He vanished as quickly as he had come.
"You are NOT wearing that dress to meet the King! That would be far too embarrassing!" Arania blushed at the mere thought of it.

"Oh no, of course not," Ami said with a giggled as she wrapped a towel around her and hopped to the table to eat. "So what else is there to know about Meereen? Any interesting places to visit?"
She then noticed the covered trays and frowned, her lip quivering a tiny bit.

Arania shrugged, joining Amelia at the table. "I've been to a book shop...thats really all. I have been trying to learn Meereenese a bit before venturing out too far. But I'd like to see the fighting pits, eventually." She noticed Ami's reaction. "Is there something wrong?" She reached out and drew one of the covers off, finding a delicious looking meat dish underneath.

No heads... they're not heads.
"No, everything is alright," Amelia said, smiling as she sat down and served herself. "Fighting pits? Oooohh, that sounds exciting! I'd like to visit those. Maybe we can go there once we are done visiting the king."

"I'm sure we could! Danya sounded interested as well...but I'm not sure where she's gone off to." Arania took a bit, too. She wasn't particularly hungry, but it looked to delicious to pass up. "You've lost a lot of weight, Amelia. Are you sure you'll be alright? I know the King...or at least Prince Aenys...has a maester, if you don't trust the local healers."

"I'll be fine, stop worrying! I just need to begin eating proper food again." She quickly emptied her plate and helped herself to a second a third serving. "Right, let's put on our loveliest dresses!" She rose and gave a little twirl, letting the towel fall to the floor.

Arania watched the food disappear with an amused look on her face. "If I hadn't seen you put away that much food before, I would be concerned you hadn't eaten in the entire crossing of the Dothraki Sea." She looked a little embarassed when Amelia dropped the towel, but nodded anyhow. "You could almost wear one of mine, you're so thin." She opened the trunk of clothes. "Have at them."
