The Final Ball

[fairygodmother]

[For those of you in Splendor already, you'll probably have noticed the spooky decor the city has donned throughout the past week. With nothing else of of notice to be mentioned, it seemed like everything was just going to be a repeat of last year

[She is not...quite sure how she got here...or why, but instantly, she knows where she is, and she smiles...and she holds the small tot in her arms close to her chest. Hair long, eyes blue and mischievous as other, the woman of her late twenties steps through the entrance...her orange dress's skirts swaying as she moves forward. There are lines on her face, and she's lost the baby fat that had clung to her face. The presence of the little child in her arms, green-skinned, blue-dressed, gives her an image of maturity.

Nura Nal-Dox is back in Splendor, everyone. And she's brought someone with her.]

Everything looks the same...

[mykimlasca]

Nura? [A Princess calls from the corner, her hair a little longer, a little older, but still the same. Her hand is at her mouth. ]

[naltorian]

[Nura spins around, skirts swirling, baby giggling, and she beams like she's won the lottery when she sees Natalia.] Your Highness!

[mykimlasca]

It is you! [ she walks towards her purposely, before stopping at the sight of the baby. and..this is?]

[naltorian]

[Nura turns her head down to the baby. The sweet cherub clings to her mother's dress, head turned in the crook of her mother's arms, blue eyes watching the princess. Nura cranes her neck and presses a kiss atop the baby's blonde head.]

C'mon, Natty, say 'hello' to the nice princess. [Nura cooes. The child blinking.] C'mon, Starshine, you were chattering a little bit ago, why so quiet now?

[mykimlasca]

Did you just call her...Natty?

[naltorian]

Mhhmm.

[Nura uses her forefinger to put under Natty's little hand, lifting it up and down in a pseudo-wave.] She's only two months old, and yet she already calls her Uncle Rokk a foob.

[mykimlasca]

As if to say--Nura did you--[ she's stunned, staring at the child ]

[naltorian]

--name her after you? Yep. My little princess.

done

[mykimlasca]

She's..absolutely perfect. [ and green. but she's overcome with emotion so she will be wiping her eyes as the tears come. she holds out her gloved hand, gently smiling at the baby through her tears ]

Hello, Natalia. Would you believe that we share the same name?

[naltorian]

[The baby makes grabby hands, reaching out to Natalia.]

[mykimlasca]

[ she moves to hold her, looking at her for permission ]

[naltorian]

[Nura nods, shifting her arms so that she's moving Natty towards her namesake.]
