After the awkawrd breakfast and the deal between Rhysand and Kallias, the night court said their goodbyes and left, just as Kallias and Vivianne, leaving her alone with Helion- who already had a plan for them for the whole day.

The whole day

First Helion basically dragged her to the gardens to take a stroll and 'watch' the scenery, which was basically just Helion flirting with other noble ladies -or men- and Kallista trying to avoid the men that came her way with stupid excuses. After an hour of the succesful flirting of Helion took Kallista away tired of her nagging, and brought them to the market, which Kallista absolutely adored with all the bright colors and different rich smells.

While walking they stopped to buy a few things like food, or jewerly from the local artists in small boots, people passing by stopped to greet the high lord and the princess of the winter court, they were not shocked to see her there, she basically was always in the day court, or when she could.

"So what do you think about the whole your mate training you?" Helion questioned while taking a bite of an exotic fruit he bought from one of the stands nearby.

"Ugh, don't even remind me, I just- why does this has to be so difficult?" Kallista answered walking besides him and looking through her shopping bags.

"I think all mate relationships are problematic or at least at the start, it's just a matter if they will able to solve it or would it be too much" Helion answered still eating his fruit.

"Since when are you so wise?"

"I am Helion Spell Cleaver, I am always wise"

"Yeah, right"

"It's that sarcasm I hear?"

"...nope" Kallista grinned looking at him, who was looking at her with an eyebrow raised before she couldn't hold it any longer and let out an unlady-like snort to which Helion just elbowed her rolling his eyes.

"Yeah, very funny, let's go to the dress shop before I make something I'll regret" Helion said pulling her to the building where they maked clothes for the noble fae, and Helion and Kallista's favorite boutique.

Entering the elegant shop the bell in the door ringing signaling someone had just entered, out of the back door came a dark skinned fae with curly hair.

"Welcome, what ca- OH Hello! you haven't come in quite some time, I thought I had lost my favorite clients" Nola the owner of the shop walked to them with her hands in her hips.

"How can you say that, we would never" Kallista answered with a smile. 

"Yeah, Now! we are here with more pressing matters, we need the most beautiful dresses you have" Helion exclaimed with mischevious look.

"May I ask what for?" Nola questioned guiding them to the private room where they could try the dresses.

"It's confidential" Helion said shortly entering the elegant sitting room. It had a big elegant sofa in the middle of the room and in front of it a small plataform were the person trying clothes will stand, surrounding the plataform three connected mirrors.

"Right, sit, I would bring the dresses shortly" The owner said kindly going out of the room. After some minutes Nola brought two rows of colorful dresses into the room with the help of other workers, Kallista was already staring at herself in the mirrors and Helion was sitting in the middle of the sofa with his arms resting in the backrest.

"Here they are, do you need anything else?" Nola asked with a smile.

"Yes, bring me your oldest most expensive alcohol you have" Helion responded with a smirk and moved his eyebrows. Nola ordered one of her employees to bring it when they left the room leaving pair of friend alone again. The princess released a small scream passing her hand through the dresses feeling all the different textures. "Well come on, we don't have all day- well we do but just get on with it" 

Kallista send a small glare in his direction for hurrying her, one of the most thing she hated. She grabbed a corseted baby blue dressed and went to the platform, and pulled on the curtains close to get changed in privacy.

"So no show?" Helion asked indignant, they obviously had seen eachothers bodies since they were younger but Kallista has been growing a little insecure the last few days, not that she would tell anyone. "Boring"

After puting the dress on, she opened the curtains and gave a twirl with a grin while Helion whisteled.

"That's a pretty dress, I like it, do you?" He asked with a smile his eyes.

"Um, I don't know is too sparkly" She responded looking at herself in the mirror and Helion just blink.

"You did not just said that, weren't you the one that brought a covered diamond dress to the meeting, that thing was blinding my eyes of how sparkly it was, abyways, nothing is ever too sparkly"

"It was a meeting everyone dresses extravegant, and there is too sparkly, people will think i'm tacky" 

"You are the Princess of the Winter Court-" Helion started standing up and walking towards Kallista, he stood behind her looking at her in the mirror over her shoulder "Do not care what other people think. You Kallista look beautiful with that dress, now do you like it?"

"Yeah, I like it a lot" Kallista muttered still looking at the dress.

"You what?" Helion asked loudly, he did heard her but he wanted to make her say it.

"I like it!" Kallista said loudly with a smile.

"That's it! come one, try the other dresses" Helion went back to his seat on the sofa. The high lord of day, has to go through the same thing almost every time they go shopping, but he doesn't blame Kallista, being highborn you get your set of rules and stares watching to see what would you do or what would you choose, even how would you dress, so of course her gentle heart would try and fit in to avoid the scrutiny of the court, but Helion was always there to remind her to be herself, that it was more important than whatever etiquette rule she has to follow and Kallista would forever be grateful of calling Helion her closest friend.
