So far things were going better than Tamara had first expected when she sent out the invitation to the Crowned Princess to join her riding. There had been worry that crossing paths with the Deliambre lady in waiting would have soured Nicolette’s opinion of Tamara, but that fortunately, that didn't seem to be the case. No matter if the nineteen-year-old did not take the risk of putting herself out there then she would never know what the outcome would be. From what the young woman suspected the Crowned Princess faced not only many of the same challenges, but the same loneliness that Tamara hid within herself. Maybe this day could be a break from the typically forced politeness both of them had to endure in the company of others. For now, however, the Countess had kept such thoughts not only silent but close to the chest as she waited atop her own steed, Ranger. Albeit the lady was riding a pony that stood close to 15 hands in his own right Tamara was indeed hopeful that her excellency would also be impressed with her family’s steeds as well.
She chose one of her finer riding outfits although it was was still far from the traditional riding fashions that the ladies wore at court. Another mixture of armor, and garment, leather armored corset over the top of a blue dress with that split in the front. Of course, under the dress, she wore a matching pair of brown breeches and boots. The sides of her long red hair were pulled back by two intricate braids that wrapped around the rest of her hair to hold it off her neck. As for the rest of her, attire Tamara chose not to accessorize with a hat, or circlet simply because she did not feel the need to. The point of this meeting in her mind was to introduce her cousin to the Crowned Princess to see if a friendship could be formed. With that in mind, her blue eyes glanced over at the three guards from the Fontaine house who had also come with to assist with escorting them on their ride. While Tamara was sure there wasn’t a need for an escort one could never be too cautious considering everything that was going on in the capital these days and with her own family. Nodding to her men the Countess glanced over to her cousin with a light smirk, “Perhaps after this, we should take the rest of the day off hmm? Go visit the market or something…” ...maybe the tavern…
