Lydia,

I hope you like the jewelry. Please accept it as my gift to you. You can put the stone I gave you earlier in the silver necklace and you won’t have to hide it, no one will know what it’s really for.

Yours truly,

Aidric

I folded the note and put it on the table then pulled the leather thong off my neck. I pulled the stone off it. For the first time I really studied it. This stone was similar in color to my earrings, but it was much rougher. It was an oval shape about the size of the palm of my hand. I popped open the silver ball at the end of my necklace. The stone fit perfectly. I snapped it shut and put the necklace over my neck. Gabrielle finished with me and sent me out to the sitting area. I hardly recognized myself in the mirror. Everyone else was already ready to go. I had to stop myself from laughing at the guys outfits.

“Not what you were expecting, was it?” Erin asked, seeing my face when I saw John and Murphy. They were wearing outfits like I had never seen before. They both had pants on that would have given parachute pants a run for their money. They were dark gray and had little designs in black all the way down them. Murphy had a long-sleeved light green shirt on. John’s was pale blue. Both of their shirts were covered with light gray vests. Black coats covered the whole ensemble. The coats were structured and had sleeves that flared at the elbows and were tied back with a piece of fabric. The coats were stitched with swirly designs similar to the pants. They both had on fancy leather boots.

“Wow, John. That’s quite the ensemble there,” I told him, grinning.

“You know,” he said, flexing his arms and turning in a complete circle like a model. “It’s actually pretty comfortable. Not too bad at all.”

“Lydia, you look beautiful,” Murphy said. I glanced down at my shoes and blushed.

“Thank you, it feels weird, being all dressed up like this.”

“Well Lydia,” Erin said. “Maybe you can celebrate your birthday in style now. Did the prince send you jewelry, too?” I looked up at her. Her dress was similar to mine. The lace design was different, and it was a burnt orange in color. It complemented her blonde hair and tan skin. She had what looked like citrine drops in her ears and a long necklace that was studded with them.

“Yeah, he gave us both rings,” John said, flourishing his hand. Both he and Murphy wore rings that had large blue gemstones in the middle.

“Not really my style, but I figured it would be offensive if I didn’t wear it,” Murphy said with a shrug. I was surprised to find that I was a little stung that Aidric had given everyone else jewelry too. But then I scolded myself. Why should I think Aidric would want to give jewelry to just me?

“If they are going to give me all this fancy stuff, I’m going to work it,” John said.
