Kell's demeanor had changed, the difference striking even if she could not quite know its cause. He lingered nearby and she thought to ask him, but then she remembered the guards and--
The King and Queen wanted to see them. She shifted somewhat, uncomfortable, and steadied her faint breathing. "No, it's all right. I'll get ready." She would take the time to put away the clothes and redo her hair, and that would be enough.
Softly, she asked Kell before he left: Should I come as I am? Is this enough for them or--
Or should she put something nicer on? Visiting Queen Anora in Denerim had been something else; she had gone there as Warden-Commander responding to the summons of a queen. Here, she was an outsider, and did not know the rules. Should she seem fit for the hospitality they were affording her, or come as close to her own truth as possible, and hope they understood?

Her eyes wandered towards the guards.
Will they be following you or me?
