[ So it turns out that while Mitsuru is actually someone who is entirely used to have servants at her disposal back home, having to witness lower ranks outright forced into serving royal ones like her is another matter entirely. In fact she had been doing her best to avoid monopolising anyone for her exclusive use during the banquet at the Gilded Cage, however one of her entourage apparently couldn't stand seeing the queen of hearts not being doted on and served by one of the lower ranks and had seen fit to fetch and assign a pretty red haired young woman to her. She doesn't look all that different in age to Mitsuru herself, which adds another layer of guilt and empathy for her new attendant.
Dressed in flowing white robes and a garland of silver flowers nestled in her long red hair while she sits upon a throne, Mitsuru looks regal, even if she does feel slightly ridiculous. This whole situation is ridiculous. She fixes Rise with an apologetic look in her eye as she appraises her. ]
I must apologise for this. Although I think it will go better for both of us if we just play along for now.
[ It could be worse she reasons. At least if Mitsuru takes charge of her then she can't go to anyone else who might treat her badly tonight. ]
