Chances are never good (tag: Hook)
Ella expected a trip to the marketplace to be much more of an ordeal to secure, but she had underestimated her sway already. Each time someone suggested she take a bigger carriage, or more guards, or perhaps had the vendors come to her (as the tailor, royal jeweler, and so on already had)....Ella simply smiled and said no, she was quite pleased to be traveling with just a guard, and two close by, and one lady-in-waiting. The were perfectly happy walking; it was not that far as the town was fairly close to the castle as it was. In the end, she did compromise on the carriage, for her lady's less sturdy constitution and the sake of their slippers (as Felix had said, they weren't really good for anything). She did hope that she could take a short bit of time to visit her mother's grave.
She and her lady, Melisande, were only slightly shadowed by the castle guards, so they had time to look and wander. Sadly, she couldn't truly banter with any of the vendors, as they fell over themselves to give her what she wanted if they guessed who she was. It was almost easier with those who looked at her more suspiciously, the maid-come-princess, as they gave her a wide berth. Ella knew Felix worried about others being snide to her, but truthfully, that sort of treatment ceased bothering her years ago.
Later in the afternoon, Melisande had backtracked slightly for a bit of ribbon, so Ella's guard found a quiet spot by the city's far fountain for her to sit and rest for a bit.
