Rafail of Marikas yiannis ♖ Administration Mod
Daniil threw back the covers and stretched as Melissa popped her head in the room. "Time to break my fast and tell me do you know if Uncle Rafi is awake yet Melissa? I am in need of a new outfit I will go shopping today if he is awake an home." she said as she shifted to a sitting position and swung her legs over the side of the bed. Melissa nodded and brought not only breakfast into view, but also a basin of warm lavender water and a cloth so that Daniil could give herself a quick wash before she dressed for the day, something the youngest of the Marikas did every morning without fail. She knew too that there would likely be a second one, empty, and a pitcher of water, so that she could wash her hair as well because her dark locks were much easier to deal with when they were wet.
"I do believe he is awake though I would go check if you wished it my lady." the servant said. Daniil nodded and climbed out of bed to determine her dress for the day. She chose a light goldenrod yellow peplos decorated with a green border of ivy leaves and then found a light green himation to wear over it. She found a darker green girdle that had matching pins and she knew she had matching ribbons to put in her hair.
As she arranged her clothing for the day she found herself thinking back to the day she had spent with Emlia learning how to match and choose her own clothes. Melissa noticed he colors and retrieved a pair of deep green slippers for her mistress's feet.
"If he is about, I will invite him personally." she told her as she dug into her breakfast that consisted of pancakes, fruit and cheese with watered down wine. Melissa nodded and kept busy making up her mistress' bed. Once Daniil was sated she helped her clean up and then did her dark hair. Once Daniil was satisfied she went in search of her Uncle Rafi. When she finally found him she said "Uncle? Would you care to go shopping with me? I am in need of a new gown and thought that you might like to go with me to help me pick it out.
She gave him a smile and waited for a reply and out of the corner of her eye, caught a glimpse of servants scurrying around doing various things and she knew some were going to head and prep their horses.
Once they were ready to go she was beaming and looking forward to the trip. Rafi was known for having a good eye for things and so she trusted his judgement, but she was also hoping to find a glimpse of the tall handsome stranger that she saw at the late King's funeral. He intrigued her to no end.b
She was still grinning when they arrived at the agora, the busy market center of the kingdom. It was busy and noisy, like always and she rather enjoyed it. Lately she was actually enjoying the act of being out and being seen....
