I make sure the empress gets comfy, in her new palace. The oracle, smiling, as she gives me more information. One thing about the oracle. She likes to play games. Unless you ask the right question, in the right way. She will give you only part of the answer.
Teasingly, dropping more in, as things develop.
Part of it is very pleasing, while part of it, makes me wonder. Since I never agreed to be part butler in any way. Still, I get Michelle through the inspection. Of course being new empress, she desires, and deserves some new clothes. Part of the oracles prophecy. The empress needed to feel happy, and at home, to start her reign. After that, things would fall as they would.
A quick shopping spree for the new empress. A relaxing bath, then (The pleasing part, until she asigns her own servants.) Oiling, and massaging, the Empress pleasing form. While she drinks, and relaxes, from her hard day of shopping.
A meal, of her choosing. Then she is off to her private chambers, to begin thinking up new decrees.
"Please, see to bathing that captain of the guards of mine." "Oh and some new clothing for her, and feel free to use scented oil, if massaging her." Michelle ads, then heads on her way.
Great I now needed to find Sadie, and see if she wanted to be pampered as well. Then that duty would be discharged. The official changing of the guard, consecrated. Through making the new ladies in charge feel good, and treated well. Of course if either Michelle or Sadie would care for some pampering, kindness or massage in the future. I would most likely be willing. Yet it would not be something needed to fil prophecy.
I find Sadie in one of the drinking establishments. As well as being Sadie, being fun and catty. I hear a very fine looking newer lady ask for a drink, calling my name. Then of course, seeing something like cats whiskers on the ladies pretty face. Usual a tribal sign of one of the remote catsclaws jungle tribes. From along one of the nearby coastal regions, across the water. Sadie gives her some spoiled milk.
I move closer, seeing the ladies reaction.
I hear her name is Karly. I motion for a NORMAL drink to be served to Karly, on my tab. Something to help cut the nasty taste in her mouth.
I also motion, for Sadie to be served her usual. "Hey Sadie.... have some S'mores for you later. Also dinner and extras if desired. Ordered by Empress Michelle." I inform Sadie. So she knows to look me up later. To find out what else she had offered her way.
I get a large shot for myself. Toast Sadie, the captain of the guards, then Karly. Who is savoring her alcoholic drink, no spoiled milk added.
Toss my shot down. Nod to both ladies, then move away, to let them continue with business as usual.
As I move away. I think of some of the other catfighters that had been seen recently in Amazonia. Wondering when they would make noise again or start to fight and challenge towards the empress.
Maybe I could locate Tiffany_Fights, and share a few drinks with her.
