for the first time

@Castor You're such a strange girl The Aerendyl castle was just as grand and luxurious from the inside as the outside would suggest. And to think that she was allowed to live here now—oh, it was a dream. Something she never thought possible. For all her father's wealth and status - she never thought he'd be able to secure such a match for her. Even if her intended was a little different than most men. He was a code—a very difficult one to crack. She had tried different methods, some more effective than others. But with trial and error, she had been able to figure him out, at least somewhat. Not completely yet, there were still some things about him that she didn't understand. But perhaps she never would. It wouldn't surprise her if he proved to be difficult just for the sake of it, and not for any particular reason.

But she would just have to make do with that then, something she was sure she could do. The woman stepped into his chamber without warning; clearly, she was enthusiastic about something. There was a skip in her step and a big smile plastered on her face. It most likely had something to do with the large box she was holding. "It's finally here, gods- I thought it would never come!" She said this as she placed the box on the nearest table. Her eyes scanned the room for Castor, who was probably off in some dark corner, brooding. When she found him, she gestured for him to come closer. "Darling, here, take a look; it's for you." Calpyso informed him as she opened the large box and retrieved a deep green coat from it. It was brand new and custom-made. She had ordered it as a gift while they were in Xailia for the Phoenix Festival. The woman stepped forward and held the coat out to him. Seeing if it would fit, it would be a shame if he had grown to these last few months and thus couldn't fit anymore.

But that didn't seem to be the case; of course, it had to be put on to be sure if it would hug his frame properly or not. But from what she could tell, it would. "Green is such a good color for you! It really compliments your-" Eyes? Eye? "Well, everything, and it's something different from those black garments you always wear." She was getting kind of sick of those, they were way too simple and plain. He should really spice up his wardrobe. "Now, don't keep me waiting; put it on." It was more of an order than a suggestion. She had wasted too much money, time, and effort on it for him not to at least try it on once.
