Alanna walks over to the sink and splashes cold water on her face. "Because everyone at Court thinks I'm a boy. He knows I'm a girl, but we can't be seen together in public because it's not very good for the Crown Prince to be considered gay." She sniffles. "And I don't drink."

Beka makes a face. "Ugh. That's not very much fun for you. No way to be a boy by day and a girl by party?" She offers a hint of a smile trying to cheer the warrioress. "We can drink coffee, or tea, or whatever you like."

Alanna shook her head. "Squire Alan has to be at parties at night and at training during the day. Lady Alanna of Trebond is at a convent many leagues away. I like coffee."

Beka shared a sympathetic smile. "No problem is intractable for a woman of strength and intelligence. For now, though, you are here and he is there. Maybe that will encourage him to find a solution." She very much hoped so. Seeing Alanna upset like this was disconcerting in the same way as it would be to see Callisto so distressed. "Would you like to meet for coffee to talk sometime?"

Alanna sniffled and splashed some more water on her face. "Maybe tomorrow? I'm going to go lie down. But thank you for being here."

"Tomorrow, Sunday, I have no fixed plans. Voicemail me and we'll arrange something. If I don't hear from you, I'll call." She studied Alanna, then quietly offered a bit more support. "Rest well. Dream happily."

Alanna nodded weakly. "Thanks. You too." She headed back to her room.
