Keeping a low profile, Amala headed into the palace, using the servant's entrance and acting as a servant would: keeping her eyes averted, head down, moving with purpose but not too quickly, hands out where they can be seen. She was keyed-up, alert, and ready for anything with a dagger concealed beneath her cloak. She kept her eyes peeled for any sign of Edie, once in a while coming across a servant and asking if they'd seen her.

Edie was in the rose garden, pruning the red roses. They were her favorite, although the bugs that were attracted to them were not. It had been her job, to prune the roses, since she was just a child, back when the world made sense.
Stretching she plopped down on a bench and looked at the roses in her hands, one pricked her finger and she dropped them "Ow, oh goodness." Sighing, she lifted her other hand and a light emitted from it, healing the small cut.

"You always had a knack for that." Said a nearby shadow.

Edie turned about with a huge smile and a laugh "Amala!"

Grinning, Amala stepped out of the shadow, lowering the hood on her cloak.
"Hello, Edie."

Jumping up she ran over and embraced her friend in a huge hug.
"Where have you been lately? I heard your father bought a new house the other day, did you guys move in all ready? I'd like to see it!"

She hugged Edie back. Although they were good friends, Amala couldn't help but think of Edie as a younger sister, and she sometimes had to remind herself not to treat Edie like a child.
"Oh, I've been practicing archery and some of my other skills. And yeah, we have a new home--it's one of those tree houses."

"Oh I've always wanted one of those!" She jumped back "To live up high above everyone else, oh how delightful that would be. It must be nice."

"We just moved in, but I like it already."
Her expression turned sly.
"So, Edie, I've been wondering..."

Edie put her hands on her knee's and placed her chin in her hands, she liked it when Amala said that. It always meant something fun "Yess?"

"Well, you wouldn't happen to know anybody we can count on that could be a maid, would you?"

Edie thought for a moment "Caralyn" she smiled "Caralyn has worked here in the gardens with my family for years, she's been looking for a way out of here. She honestly hates working in the gardens, she has allergies you see, even though there's a cure for them, she reeefuses to get it, saying that kind of magic isn't safe yet. Anyway, she's as trustworthy as I am, when the new king came in they questioned all the people in the castle, and oh Caralyn has lots of secrets and she didn't tell them a-one. I know, because I was listening, she hates those humans as much as I do."

Amala's grin was huge.
"Perfect. Dad'll be happy to hear it."

Edie smiled "I'm sure Mr. Ramses will love her, she's nice, but cranky like him."

"Ha!"
Her expression turned sly once more.
"Ohhh, and I have an idea...and I'm hoping you'll help me."
