Title: All the lilies in Aliput Rating: G Words: 200 Wishlist Item: 3. The Narmornese court. Summary: "The first year I was empress...."
"Lilies," Ishabal muttered. "Your weight in gold, and all for lilies."
Berenene did not look away from the stretch of blackened flowers in still water, their leaves curled on themselves away from a cold that, surely, they no longer felt. Her own posture was rigid.
"It is a good thing for the treasuries that I have lost weight," she said mildly, kneeling by the water and reaching one gloved hand to the nearest plant. "Have you quite finished?"
"I was out of turn." The mage's voice felt harsh against her back, even in apology.
"You are still my father's creature, and I am still his child." The empress shrugged, turning a pale, set face on the older woman, her eyes red. "That shall change."
Ishabal bowed, and Berenene nodded, striding away from the summer's hope. The mage, left alone, shook her head at the water.
"You will have it all, in time," she muttered, when she was sure her new empress would no longer hear.

I love the images and emotions you've evoked with so few words. I don't know how you do it, but it's amazing.
