Amirah woke early, with no intention of tending to her usual tasks. She dressed carefully, being certain to be at the height of fashion and propriety alike - mostly to prove that she could, despite that she preferred running about barefoot, something that Sabriyah didn't necessarily approve of. And if Amirah was going to win her over, convince her to attend the summons in Bordelaix, she needed to, in every other way, be on Sabriyah's good side. Amirah was smart - she knew how to negotiate, and presentation was just as important as argument.
When she arrived at the doors to Sabriyah's personal study, she looked like the desert princess that she was - her eyes kohled, dressed in a modest gown of a pale lavender with a chain draped across her hair, an amethyst gem perfectly accentuating her youthful face and dark eyes. She knocked lightly, taking a breath as she waited for her sister to answer.
What Sabriyah didn't understand was that if they made this a mission for the men of her family...well, that decision had consequences. Aside from Bashir's potential for his temper to appear, and the obvious peace-making abilities of the sisters...Amirah would not be able to go in Sabriyah did not.
Plus, she said, adding to her list of arguments, if they sent only the men, they ran the risk of it being perceived as a political movement, rather than a familial one, as was intended by the invitation. And that was a danger of an entirely other caliber.
