When our eyes met

Chapter XIX Two different worlds

The morning came with the young princess being wrapped by her blankets. The birds were chirping and her shift was mostly covering her torso and belly rather than her legs because of how much of an uncomfortable sleep she had. She whined and she turned around but gasped seeing the loose hair of the blond beside her.

"A- what are you doing here !?" She yelled while looking at the other pregnant woman and sat on the bed. For a moment she could mistake her with her warrior and she... didn't want that.

"I- I couldn't sleep... I mean..alone. I'm sorry I sneaked in'' Adora was sleeping by Catra's side in her times and...old habits couldn't be forgotten because of this situation.

The brunette scanned her from head to toe but didn't say anything other than sigh and brush her hair back. They would have a lot to talk about as it seemed. "Okay.... We have a meeting today so... you'll just need to get ready"

"I will but.... I have no other clothes...and it's cold." Adora explained coyly.

The other one stood up then and opened her closet to give her a shift to wear, a corset and the upper shifts. "These will do their job for now... wait .. you'll still be cold without any stockings.." she hummed and continued to search.

Adora though was confused. She didn't know what to put on first. She had seen movies so.. she just took the corset first after taking her clothes off.

Catra gave her a loose corset to fit her belly size but the blond still didn't know how to put it on so she just huffed. Catra looked up at her and rolled her eyes back. "Put on the shift first...else the corset will hurt your skin... but you don't have to tie it up so tightly either. Let me help" she continued and helped her to tie it up after letting her wear the shift.

"I can wear a bra too... I mean it will do the same work and you wear it only on your chest" She could see the feline was confused and pointed at the bed where she had thrown the bra. "you don't have to wear anything else under it and just wear this and a warm shirt or... dress in your case"

"What? You don't protect your body with something? A shift...? You are crazy" Catra shook her head immediately. She wouldn't let this thing touch her skin. "..just get ready we will be late if you keep...- stop poking the corset" she noticed she was poking the bone of the corset only to sigh. Her ears went down in frustration.

"Okay okay.. Sorry. That's the first time I saw a corset- I mean..a real one" The other one admitted and began to dress up with her help of course.

Catra would get ready and they would both walk to the meeting room. Adora could see Angella, Mermista, Perfuma too but Glimmer and Bow weren't around so she had a strange feeling about all this. She didn't know what to do or...should she even speak?

Angella stood up after taking a sip of her glass and looked at them while continuing to speak to the others "...what I fear the most is that Shadow Weaver will try to attack now....better than before....and we do not have Shera to guide our warriors.." She paused for a second but she would continue to speak. "We don't have many soldiers. The Horde uses poisonous arrows. Queen Mermista, I know your father fought the Horde and is now without us but I invited you here to help. The Horde is surrounded by land and sea. If we both attack at the same time their soldiers won't have a certain plan.. I assume. Even your father fought them by land so.... this will surprise them."

Catra remained quiet though. She leaned more in her seat, making Adora wonder how she didn't offer any help to their plans. The meeting didn't end in an alliance.. For now. Queen Angela would try again in the next meeting but the other princesses didn't want an encounter with the Horde again.
