The king's mouth found her hand, and Melari bloomed into a rosy blush. Secret meetings, a secret note, and now he'd kissed her hand! What on earth was she to do?
To her credit the lass didn't giggle, but her blush was very obvious and her face became suddenly shy. "Yes, that would work." Mel lowered her eyes, uncertain where to look. Ought she look him in the face? But what might she see if she did? It wasn't worth the risk. "A secret note -- you could sign it with a rectangle shape, and I'd know it meant a tapestry. I'm at your leisure, Sire."
Melari said the title sweetly, rising from her chair with a little curtsy. "This will be fun. Thank you for talking with me; it was very kind."
