Take this pink ribbon off my eyes

Who: Laisa and Elise
Universe: Original
What: A queen learning to be a person
Warning: None yet

Laisa had spent her whole life training for the role she’d always known only death would spare her from.

And yet, here she was, her country in one piece and the threat of invasion at least put off, and someone else’s problem to deal with if Gresta didn’t honor the terms of treaty, the terms that had had Laisa stepping down.

She wrapped the cloak a little tighter around her, the dull brown of it covering the top of her head. For now she had the cold outside to help excuse her but she’d need to find something better come spring. She couldn’t stand looking in the eyes of her subjects, waiting for them to recognize her now that she wasn’t Queen any longer. She couldn’t decide if it was better if they knew her or if they didn’t.

“Excuse me,” she said, moving to brush by someone in the street.

Holy crap. Logically it makes sense that she would have so much, and probably that she would expect prices to be higher- up-marking to royalty is probably a thing people do. "Alright..." Elise takes it, even though it feels weird, "It probably won't cost this much. And you're probably going to want to not show people how much money you have on you."

Should she not have brought it up? Hell if she knows. "Do you want me to grab anything else while I'm out there? I've got a couple books and things you can check out here..." This is very weird still and she doesn't quite know how to deal.

"Alright. I'll be back as soon as I can." For multiple reasons.

She heads out, picking up the clothing Laisa needed. Her house isn't much- it's pretty much just the entry room with a few soft chairs and some books, and her bedroom. She can't really afford all that much.
