Thoughts Before the Ceremony

"..." In other timelines, Altara went to bed early so her mind
would be at ease for the coronation...but this Altara could not
get a bit of sleep.
It was only evening still. She decided a stroll would help ease
her mind as she got changed into her normal attire.
"..Father.." she muttered quietly before stepping out of her
chamber doors.

As was often the case, Floriana was awake and drinking by
herself, wandering the corridors with a flask full of wine and
no particular direction in mind. She'd already drunk quite a
lot, but her tolerance meant her steps swayed only slightly as
she paused under a window and glared up at the moon.
"...Cheers, old man," she murmured to herself, toasting the moon
before closing her eyes and taking a long drink.

Altara paused, noticing Floriana from a distance
"Miss Sarlo? What are you doing at this time of night?"

"I might be asking you the same thing. Shouldn't you be getting
rest for your big day tomorrow?" Floriana asked sharply, looking
over her shoulder.

"I...I had trouble sleeping" Altara confessed, looking down

"What, with your father dead and all responsibility for the
kingdom about to be on your head in the morning? I'm shocked."
Floriana said. She'd never been as deferential to the princess
as her servants, although her tongue had been sharper recently
than it had once been.
"Did you want my help? It's an easy enough problem. Some strong
wine, a sleeping spell...you're a little old for me to sing you
a lullaby, but you give the orders around here," she snickered,
taking another drink.

"N-No. I'll be ok" Altara insisted, blushing a little.
"Are you ok, Miss Sarlo? You seem a little off"

"I am not off, princess, I am inebriated. It's considered
socially acceptable in the wake of a loss, isn't it?" Floriana
replied.

"Y-Yes. I'm sorry for bringing it up" Altara responded, bowing
respectfully.
"Did you want to be left alone, Miss Sarlo?"

"Company or lack of it makes no difference to me, but I can't
imagine mine is desired while you want to think." Floriana
shrugged.
