Aynia gave Kelsey a big grin and looked at the gang plank. She then lifted her fitted skirt slightly above her ankles to show black suede boots. They had a small heel, but were not the most appropriate choice for aboard a ship. In fact, Aynia had donned a lightweight blue and tan travelling dress, with a matching blue parasol. It would have been practical for carriage rides, or a day trip to the horse tracks, but not the best for sailing. She shrugged a bit and looked at Kelsey.
"I suppose we did choose rather impractical shoes." She looked back at the small group of guards seeing to her welfare and her handmaiden who accompanied her everywhere and gave a small wave, beckoning her over to them. When she arrived, Aynia took a moment to introduce the woman to Kelsey. "My Lord Captain, this is Maeni, my personal handmaiden. I will go nowhere without her. Her things are with my trunks, and I presume they have arrived and have been loaded?"
