Before getting on the plane, Leah had been sleeping one night in a hotel, where she had been told to bathe thoroughly and was given a fresh outfit. That outfit, a white t-shirt and black jeans Leah, were the first fully clean clothes she had worn her entire life. Every piece of clothing was second handed, and either contained scratches or stains. Leah wasn’t too bothered however, as usually they would get much more dirty by her wearing them. It was comfort what mattered, not cleanliness.
For this exact reason, it was even a bigger shock for her when once in the palace, her maids had presented her with the gowns she could select from for the dress she would wear the first evening. She had never seen a formal gown in person, let alone worn one. She settled on a simple blue dress, she did not want it to be embellished too much, it being a ball gown was already more than a change enough.
After her hair had been braided and the dress was put on with a stuggle, her maids had left her to settle in and rest, she realised she hadn’t eaten yet since her combined breakfast and lunch. She headed over towards the Ladies’ Room, hoping someone was there who could show her where she could prepare some food. No one was there when she arrived however, so she seated herself in one of the couches on the side of the room. Purposely hiding herself from those who would enter the room. Leah wasn’t necessarily shy, she simply was not used to being in this world and she wanted to see which way the cat jumps first. She was dozing off when she was awoken again by the sound of foodsteps approaching.
