Marian in Ambergeldar

Amy ran into Marian when she took Mal -- er, Captain Sir Malcolm Reynolds -- back to Milliways after his visit.

And, after hearing about the goings on there, had invited Marian back for a short visit to Ambergeldar. (She would have invited Marian for an extended visit, especially as Marian cannot get back to her own world, but Marian has security duties, and Amy respects that. Still, even security members need breaks.)

After what happened with Mal, Amy gives Marian a letter of introduction, just in case she winds up in Loddingtop or some such place. And she takes the very simple and practical precaution of holding carefully and tightly to Marian's hand as they step out of the bar and into Amy's wardrobe.

"It's not, I fear, the most exciting first view of the kingdom. Do mind the shoes."

It's not the most convenient thing, having a doorway in your wardrobe. Things will get in the way of coming and going.

Once they're safely into Amy's dressing room, she lets go of Marian's hand. "Welcome to Ambergeldar."

It's a wardrobe of all things. Clothes hanging and, indeed, those are shoes that she begins to choose where to place her feet to get around without crushing. Marian doesn't mind the hand, when she's distracted by the shoe-avoiding and then a garment with buttons that liked her loose hair. And then they are out.

"I thank you." Marian look about herself, and then smiled. "I do appear to arrived in one piece, thankfully, too."

Marian will keep the paper that was folded and put into her dress though. The one with a hand written note from Queen Amethyst of Ambergeldar, identifying her as a guest of The Queen and promising to compensate anyone who incurs expenses in assisting her back to the Palace in Amber.

Just in case.

For now, though, she'll smile, closing the dressing closet door.

"Well, we are in your home, so maybe--" Marian considered. Castles were rather large places. Except they weren't too. Once they were home. But there were always, "What are your favorite places here?"

"Let's start with one or another the others, then?" Marian suggested easily. "And we'll end up wherever we're meant to end up as we do?"

Her father had a room like this, once upon a time, and it had been one of her favorites. Not a receiving room, but where you did the actual work. Where you oversaw what needed to be of your duties. Something of her thoughts and mingled memories makes her smile fond, as she looks around.

Respectful, hands folded together in front of her, never getting closer than a few feet from anything in the room just quite yet. She recognize one the children, but her eyes rested on the other painting longer.

Considering it breath longer, before asking. "Your husband?"

In a room where you have to work, Marian can see the point. You don't want to look up and see more work. You want to look up and see the heart of the reasons for all of it. The real person, not the mask they were or role they walk.

And if for a moment, she wonders how long that's really been...

Marian shook her head, bemused. "They have a very different view of what is proper than the people who are requesting the services of them, don't they?"

Marian really didn't seem to agree with any of this by the way she wrinkled her nose. "He looks..." Marian tilted her head, considering. A little more commonly down to Earth than most would expect, but also. "Kind. Relaxed -- no, approachable. And maybe, just the slightest bit silly. Maybe just there around the eyes only."

She knew another boy like that.



"There are far worse things a king could be."

"Good," Marian grinned. And her gaze move to the other picture. Susan, who looked every radiant, with her sunny hair, beside her little brother. "And he is ever much bigger than I last saw him in Milliways."

"I'm sure your painters will be so glad to be called on again," Marian said, with laughter in her tone. "Maybe they'll convince you to paint your children as small angels of the truest perfection."

"Oh, dear." Marian's mouth said, but her blue-grey eyes are mischievously sparkling with laughter already. "That doesn't sound good at all. We absolutely must, mustn't we?"

"One does not argue with the Queen, so if we must, we must."



Though Marian does get a little sidetracked looking at all the wall hangings, glimpsing doors they pass and openings to other areas. It is entirely foreign, and it is for High Royalty, and yet there is something ultimately familiar about it all, touching a well-known place inside of her.

Except that you can tell, just wandering it, that people are happy here.

Marian released Amy's arm to walked across the room and stand before the portrait. Taking a half minute to simply look up at it. Before looking over her shoulder. It's amazing she's managing not to smile.

"This is positively....horrid." The last word tremors with an only barely repressed laugh.

"It would have been a priceless face." Perry's. Marian was still trying to keep her own expression straight by any measure. Failing more than succeeding because Amy seemed to be enjoying herself, and the reaction. "This could not be you, unless they attached it to you."

The faintest of her features. No turned up nose, and no freckles, and they had utterly missed they her eyes light up when she was looking at or talking about that she loved or that made her happy.

Which makes it impossible not to join in. Marian can't help wondering what the poor footman must think, but the thought doesn't stay long. "What interesting people they must have been."

Her voice was teasing, as she looked from Amy's trembling shoulders, to the portrait above her and the matching one too far away from them, as well. "This Amethyst and Algernon. To have gotten a whole room to themselves."
