"Good goddess Selene!" Nanny Nia rushed to me the moment I opened the door.
She, along with Hildegard, looked as though they had walked through hell and back.
"What happened to you two ?" I asked as I was dragged across the room.
"Looking for you, that's what!" Hildegard said, annoyed. "Where have you been? We've been searching everywhere."
"I was with Otto," I said. "I mentioned it before I left."
"I would never climb those stairs again," Hildegard swore.
"The moment I saw them, I was discouraged." Nanny Nia admitted as she hurried me out of my simple dress.
"I invited him to the shifting ceremony," I said. "He turned it down."
"That's Otto for you," Hildegard said and quickly changed the topic. "You are already extremely late. You need to make a statement, but not a late one."
Nanny Nia pulled out the dress for me, and this time I was made to wear it in front of them.
