I had a lot more clothes than I had the right to own, thanks to my darling mother, who’d made a habit of materialising in front of my closet while I was out and stuffing it with the kind of garments that I was supposedly expected to wear as a monarch- just as she had just traded up my furniture- but I opted for a pale lilac sheath dress that had been hand-stitched by our kingdom’s most talented seamstress Riesling, instead. The clothes that Satan had created for me were lovely, but every outfit had an agenda of its own (or rather, hers) and I was in an indefinable mood, so I wanted something that would not make a declaration about my state of mind without my permission. The sweet dress was pretty enough to communicate the fact that I was going to some effort, but not so dressy that it would be obvious that I was going to too much effort, and that seemed exactly right.

Besides, I thought, as I wriggled into a delicate, short pair of bloomers (no skimpy panties for me, I took off in flight too often!) and a matching balconette bra, Cairo likes me in lavender...

The dress had a plain A-line shape, with spaghetti straps and a simple bodice that showed the fullness of my bust without an excess of cleavage, a sash around the waist that allowed me to cinch it in, and lots of thin, almost transparent layers of soft lilac chiffon that fell in a swishy, handkerchief hemline around my knees and thighs. It was a delicate, girly garment, but it was soft, comfortable and very ‘spring’ and as soon as I felt those skirts swish around me, I knew that I wouldn’t have chosen differently even if I’d had a week to prepare- as I’d originally hoped to have.

Once I had it on, I slapped my silver cuff back over my shoulder to cover my brand, stepped back into my favourite ballet flats, and then began to run my heated hands through my hair, drying it with warm fingers and detangling it as I went. Cairo had brought me several pairs of fancier shoes back from his excursions, and Satan had included a different pair for every outfit that she’d given me, but I found it hard to maintain balance around Cairo as it was, without adding high heels into the mix! Besides, heels were harder for me to land in than they were to dance in!

Oh! I snapped upright and moved towards my countertop, fumbling around for my tiny pot of lip gloss with one hand while the other continued to work through my half-damp mane. Cairo’s birthday is next week, and I was going to throw him a surprise ball! But how can I make it a surprise if he’s-

I heard Inoborna howl then, and my knees went weak. The pot of lip gloss clattered to the bottom of my sink after I’d dabbed it on
