arnauld.
her doctor had prescribed a healthy dose of fresh air and friendly faces. the air is sticky and the obnoxious sunglasses that mask her face do very little to dispel the paranoia of critiquing eyes as she leaves the house without the stroller. would arnauld's face be considered friendly ? friendly enough, she assumes, that he would not judge her for craving just a second of peace. friendly enough for her doctor to commend her efforts and fill a new scrip. she offers a smile, grateful that at the very least, her shades hide that the crinkles don't come close to her eyes. " your majesty ! " were they friendly enough him to be refered to on a first name basis ? " the duchess of aragon sent me a case of those wines. which one was it that you recommended ? " * / @vrnvuld
