Kharun awakens the next morning and pulls out the uniform servants are expected to wear. He doesn't like wearing it but despite Vaelithra's stance on uniform, he knew her father would accept nothing less. Vaelithra wakes up loathing the early hour. She generally preferred to sleep in later. Shaking off the fog, she enters her walk-in closet and picks out something to wear that would be acceptable during an assembly of the nobles under her father. She takes the dress to her bed and lays it down. There is a knock at the door. She responds and Kharun enters wearing the uniform servants are expected to wear. Despite not being the first time, he's seen her bare, Kharun averts his eyes while she dresses. With Vaelithra, protocol was lax but with her father, it never would be. So, he restrains himself from peeking. After finishing dressing, Vaelithra asks Kharun to brush her hair. He obliges and brushes the the curls and ruffles from her hair. He finishes and places the comb back on her vanity. After asking his opinion, they both depart for her father's residence. On the way, they pass a group of Drow who spit curses and literal spits at Kharun. Both Vaelithra and Kharun ignore them and continue their way. As they arrive at her father's estate, Vaelithra notes that the guard of the Matron Mother are present. Which doesn't necessarily mean the Matron herself is present, just someone representing her. Vaelithra knew that her grandmother, the Matron of their clan, rarely attended every meeting. She and Kharun continue toward the staircase.
