The Prince's Pet ( Lox & Meadowe )

Jerry promptly shooed Lox from his own room, much to his distaste and into the waiting hands of several servants who were standing by outside to whisk him away. A sudden pleading look came across his face as he looked into his dear pets eyes as if he was being dragged away to his doom but with the entrance of a handful more female carrying steaming buckets the door was snapped close to leave a very deviously smiling dandy rubbing his hands together in excitement. "First things first! You need a bath dear, and if we are to make it in time for a grand appearance it will have to be quick, Ladies! Chop Chop!" With that the servants carrying the water herded the poor fox into the bathroom where the large tub was filled half full with hot water and helped her undress. "What a beastly prince indeed! Making such a lovely woman wear manly and unflattering cloths! What province is the Lady from?" Another servant quickly picked up as she shampooed her hair. "The far north is the only place that produces this fine blonde hair Mal... It would be easy to mistake this Noble for a princess given her attire. But what if she really is a princess trysting with our prince! For shame!" A quick slap to her hand quieted her as the first woman picked up again. "Quiet with that Kat! Do not insult the Lady for our prince's unruly nature. He has always been so full of surprises who's to say what he's been up too cooped up in his library?" It didn't take long for the servants to finish washing the poor fox in the same manner a noble woman would be treated, and as far as anyone was concerned she was just that. With thorough drying and wrapping she was ushered out into the hands of the other servants.

Jerry guided the entire affair of dressing her as they stood the fox in front of the mirror, making adjustments here and there to ensure the fit was perfect while yammering on the entire time. "I took the liberty of altering the size when I got back to my shop so this lovely little piece would fit like a glove... that and my other minions are busy with a nicely filled wardrobe so you won't have to walk about in Loxy's smelly cloths!" Once the many layers of the dress were put on Jerry snapped his fingers agitatedly as the servants handed him a pure gold necklace with a gem the size of a small birds egg dangling from it's end. "I don't know were Loxy might have stolen you away from but I won't have a Lady under dressed for this ball! Just be sure to stash these away in the dear princes personal affairs so we can have a bit more fun with him..." With that he twirled the little fox around in the mirror to examine her every inch and nodded his satisfaction. With a arm extended in escort Jerry lead the woman along towards the grand hall. "I think you'll like what I've picked out for the prince my dear girl, gods know it suits him perfectly!"
 
Kara watched as Lox was shooed away. A small pang rang out in her heart as she watched him leave. Her bows knit themselves upward in a sorrowful manner. Oh how attached I am already to him, she thought. The tiny fox didn't have any time to elaborate on that thought however as she was suddenly whisked away by servants into a bath. With the warm water surrounding her body, her worries melted away. Happily she sat in the tub a smile on her face, eyes closed. Kara hardly listened to the conversation the two women were having as she was too concentrated on the feeling of being cleaned. It felt wonderful. Her nakedness in front of strangers did not strike her as embarrassing at all and so she enjoyed her bath to its fullest.

Now staring at herself in the mirror, she watched the people around her slowly add on cloth after luxurious cloth onto her slender frame. The poor village girl was certinaly in a dream. Inently she listened to Jerry's speech, having no idea there was no actual point to it. Already the fox had taken a liking to the man and ocassionaly giggled at his mannerisms. Suddenly he snapped his fingers, making Kara stand erect in front of the mirror, as if it was directed toward her. Her large eyes became even bigger as the gem was presented before her. She titled her head then, brows knit in thought, "Personal affairs?" she questioned. What does he mean? But here was no time for questions apparently as Jerry led her out of the room on his arm. She smiled warmly, "I think I will like anything that the Prince wears." As they walked toward their destination, the fox couldn't help but look down at her costume multiple times, touching the soft fabric around her body in awe. With her free hand she crossed her fingers, silently wishing that no one would pinch her awake from this splendid dream.
 
When Jerry escorted Kara into the main ball room more than a few heads turned to eye the beautiful woman walking into their midst. By now word had already spread throughout the court that the prince had been consorting with a very fine maiden, and most of the men chuckled and nodded their approval. The king himself murmured to some of the lords at his devilish son's choice in woman but the ladies of the court looked at her with far more scrutiny than even the lords roving eyes. There were hostile comments about an unknown family trying to make good with the king, with claims that some had more claim to the kings favor than some foreigner that no one knew about. But amidst the murmuring couples danced to the music of a full band along the floor while others admired the various and even scandalous costumes that some were running around in. More than a few of the ball goers were already quite marry from the copious amount of wine being provided by servants while others poked at the delicacies lining a long huge table that took up an entire wall of the ball room. Jerry took her straight to the king who smiled wolfishly at the girl. "At long last my ornery son shows interest in a woman! I was starting to think he might end up like Jerry!" A few sinkers were shared around the hall as Jerry stuck his nose into the air and huffed.
"My lord hasn't the class for one such as I and I'd like to think of myself more civilized than some of your wives!" While that shut a lot of them up the king laughed all the harder before murmuring began rising from the crowd once more.

Lox had joined the festivities with a grim look on his face that made his costume all the more authentic. It would seem that Jerry decided the prince's attire should be that of the southern pirates from the far south, and while everyone had heard of the brutes Lox brought those imaginations to life. He had been stripped of from the waist up to expose his well toned frame, and while he wasn't overly muscular the only thing across his chest was a heavy leather strap that held a huge double bladed axe to his back. Worse yet the bastard had contrived some sort of bronzing goop that had covered him form head to toe to give him the deep tan that wasn't known this far north. The only cloths he wore was a heavy skirt that fell just below his knees, a wide belt with multiple daggers sticking from it and heavy boots. While he grudgingly admired Jerry's imagination and precision at emulating a pirate, he had no desire whatsoever to parade around half naked in front of everyone. It seemed that the only thing keeping people from jesting at him was the private armory that went along with the costume. That one thing consoled him as he made his way to the king who laughed and clapped him on the back. "Behold my son! The fiercest half naked man I have ever seen!" While a few chuckles went around there was quiet a bit of twittering and giggling from the woman looking at him, bringing a terrible shade of red to his cheeks. "Please kill me Kara, and spare this poor soul the humiliation of these ninnies..."
 
As she walked along by Jerry's lead, Kara was oblivious to the stares and pointing made towards her. The only thing she was concerned about was her new pretty dress and when she would see the Prince again. Though she had become fond of Jerry, she felt more secure around Lox, and was becoming more and more anxious for him to return. Her focus was turned to the king whom she now stood before. She looked to Jerry, wondering if she should bow, but instead stayed upright. Kara placed a polite smile on her face but still had barely a clue what the men were speaking of. For a moment, she turned her head from side to side slowly, taking in the grand scene before her. Stifling a gasp of awe she returned her face toward the king only to see Lox before her. At first, she jumped a bit at his new appearance. Suddenly his skin was more exposed and darker. Looking around the crowd she saw everyone looking and murmuring to each other about him. As he knelt closer to her she saw his blush and found herself determined to aid him. "But, I like what your wearing," she said with a cute smile. "I wish my costume was more like yours," she added. Looking at the newly dark skin before her, the curious little fox couldn't help but want to touch it. Is it real? she thought. Every so slightly, so that nobody could see, she reached up and touched the side of his exposed torso.
 
An involuntary shudder ran through Lox's body as he felt the little fox's curious touch, doing his best to hide how much her touch affected him as he traded a little barter with his father and Jerry before taking her hand and leading them away through the crowd for a moment of peace. Studiously ignoring the insistent murmuring Lox led her outside and a little ways into the royal garden with a sigh of relief. He smiled down at his stunning pet and leaned down to softly kiss her cheek. "My dear Kara, you do not want your costume to be like mine... I don't think any of the other men could stare at you harder as you are now without being half naked." Walking slowly though the garden Lox brought her to a smaller pavilion that was filled with separate beds with stranger plants growing within. Stopping in front of one bed in particular the small white flowers exuded a sweet scent and seemed to glow in the moonlight, Picking a few to present to his lady friend he murmured softly as he showed her some of the other beds. "Do you like them Kara? You reminded me of them when they brought you to me just today. I was hoping to bring you here this evening but the accursed ball had to take place tonight. For as long as you stay your free to wander the castle and this garden whenever you wish, these are my plants and everyone else is forbidden on threat of the dungeons to come trampling through here." He nodded gently to a guard who came stomping out from around a large bush before realizing who it was and bowing to leave, smiling slyly at Lox before vanishing again through the garden. Leaning down to pick a violet orchid Lox gently laced it behind her ear and in her head before smiling affectionately and kissing her forehead softly. "Kara... If you ever wish to return home I will do all I can to aid you but I wonder if it would be better if your family might enter the protection of this kingdom. I can grant you land and a keep for their own use, and that would keep them safe for the most part but nothing it seems come without a price." Taking her by the hand Lox led her quietly to the side before pointing towards one of the garden entrances to find his least favorite woman poking about. "It seems that serpent is looking for someone... I wonder who?"
 
Kara witnessed his shutter but could not find a reason for such reactions. As she was led into the garden her eyes became wide with wonder. Such a beautiful sight was before her. The Prince proceeded to kiss her about the face and give her flowers. "I like them a lot," she responded letting her fingers brush the soft petals. Kara heard his talking of moving her family under the kingdoms protection, but could hardly think about any of that. At the moment, she was in a lovely dream, and talk of boring reality was simply unacceptable. Suddenly, the little fox realized something. Ignoring his comment about a serpent she let her hand slip from the Princes grasp. "Prince, you've showered me with," she looked down her cheeks becoming pink, "with kisses and yet I've given nothing in return. But I will now." She raised her head to look into his eyes with a shy but determined face. Rising to her tip-toes she placed her face at the side of his and gently kissed his cheek. Then slowly she went to his right and kissed that cheek just a tenderly. Finally, with her hands on his shoulders she reached up and pressed her lips to his forehead. With her nerve-racking mission finished the fox got back on flat feet but kept her hands on his shoulders, for now her knees weren't doing their job. Her cheeks were horribly pink and she kept her head down, unable to look into his eyes. Kara was afraid of what his face would look like.
