"I wouldn't worry about that. I think your hair is auburn enough for the yellow," she reassured. "And... I heard it's soooooomeone's favorite color so I thought it would be the natural choice."
Lucrezia pretended not knowing who she was going out riding with.

"Excuse me, I have made absolutely no plans," she said superiorly. Then she broke into laughs. "But I can't help it if I mentioned it in front of his staff!"

Lucrezia giggled loudly before quieting herself.
"I think England would do well with a Queen as cunning and wise as you, Kat!"
She sat up and put her head to her friends knee affectionately.

"We'll see," Kat said with a slight chuckle, gently running her hand over Lucrezia's blonde hair. "I should wear the blue riding habit," she admitted. "Anything too showy and I risk seeming obvious. I'll wear the yellow when I come back and change for the afternoon."
Kat smiled. "You know I don't think I'd mind if I were never a queen. I wouldn't even have to be married, as long as I loved someone and he loved me."

"Mama isn't married to Papa but they're happy," she said, in agreement. "They love each other very much as well."
It was no secret and Lucrezia wasn't raised to be ashamed of her family.
"But I know you'll marry someone who will adore you as much as I do," she giggled and looked up at Kat. "If not more which is probably impossible but you'll just marry an impossible man, then!"

Kat laughed, charmed by Lucrezia as always. "And who would you have me marry, then? If you find me a husband, I'll find you one."

Her face lit up and she quickly ran through all the names she knew.
"What about... the Archduke of Austria, Ferdinand II? He is very handsome in his portraits."

Kat's eyes popped open. "How could you wish that hair on our children? They'd be the most redheaded brood alive!" She descended to laughter again, then, thoughtful hm's.
"I don't know. I see you... I see you with a Sultan! Yes, a sultan who abandons all his wives for his love of you. Oh, or an empress in the East!"

"Oh, how exotic! And very romantic," she sighed. "Would he fall in love with me on first sight?"

"The better question is, how could he not?" Kat gently turned her friend's face to her own. "And you can stomp all over my puny Austria, with the Ottoman Sultan wrapped around your finger."

Lucrezia laughed.
"I'd make sure that you and the Archduke became guests in our court," she said, taking Kat's hand excitedly. "And you could play with our children and teach them English and spoil them rotten!"
She loved playing make-believe.

"And I'd wear scandalous outfits and King Henry will hear all about it--" and here, she made a joke at Henry's expense, "and show up without any warning on a Tuesday afternoon!" Kat giggled.

Lucrezia gasped as an idea hit her.
"Harem pants! With your mid-drift showing!"

Kat fell into incomprehensible giggles. "Wait, wait--" She went to the dresser and grabbed a spare sheet, wrapping it around her legs in something resembling poofy pants. "There!" She'd rolled her nightdress up, too.

Lucrezia laughed at the puffiness of her "pants" and quickly came up with her own makeshift costume. She took her long blonde hair and held it in front of her face. She covered her nose and mouth to mimic an exotic Turkish veil.
"Am I alluring enough to enchant the Sultan?" she asked as she lifted her arm above her head and made floreos with her hands.
She hummed a modal Eastern tune as she twirled around and danced.
