There were two servants outside the room.  This was not unusual.  But, the way they were standing...  And they had differences in their household tabards.

Ithian had been in the Palace for an hour.  He had made his way slowly through the groups of clinging nobles.  He had walked each level so that he did not sweat, resting as much as he could.  He had been around the corner from the Lady’s room until he heard the chimes.  He adjusted his pure black velvets and silks, patted his hair and knew he was about to conquer another of Falmir’s favorites.

As he approached, the servants bowed and parted.  The door opened and two women servants were...barely wearing their tabards.  They parted and Ithian stepped into the room.  At least as far as he could.

Bett elbowed him.  “And it has one of the best beds, other than yours.”

King Dreng smiled at his wife and nodded.  “What she said.  I cannot go against her.”

Laun took another sip of milk and made a face.  It did help with the heartburn, but she did not like having to drink it.  The heartburn had been her first symptom of her pregnancy.  She never threw up, though her stomach had made up for it with the constant discomfort.  They had been lucky in the summer to have found the bull in the woods.  The chalk from the healers worked too, but Laun had looked forward to the change to milk when the Guernsey had calved.  She wasn’t so sure of it any more.
