(Can Ryu be the guard? She doesn't have to be...)

(sure

Ruby smiled and also asking her if some items were okay like poster's and fluffy things, she came upon some lights and red paint "these will do" she smiled

(yes)

Lilura smiles and agrees to all the things. Whatever made Ruby happy. She also decided to shop for other things, too, not just books and pillows but some things you would usually get while going shopping. She ordered a few treats for her spirit animal and then two candies, one for herself and one for Ruby. She offers the candy to Ruby with a small smile. "I think we've got what we want?"

Ryu nods her understanding to the Light queen and trudged back to the princess Alice. She knocks on the wall next to the door to Alice's room and calls in, "You're mother would like to see you." Ryu calls in a rather bored voice. She inspects the stone walls and chips at some of it with her fingers as she waits for a reply.

"yes lets go" ruby said smiling and slipping away with her items without paying

Alice sat up "did she tell you what she wanted?" she asked eyeing her bird on the window seal casting a huge shadow in her room

Lilura nods a thanks to the merchants and then leaves. Her spirit animal nuzzled her neck affectionately, pausing to glare in the bird way at anyone who stepped to close to her. "Thanks for taking me! It was fun." Lilura says about the topic of going and raiding.

Ryu laughs a bit in surprise at the question, "Sorry, but no." She wasn't used to being told why people would send for another, not usually one to pry when it came to royal things because she usually got in trouble if she did.

her spirit animal stood on its perch next to her throne

She grumbled "im coming"

Ryu nods in thanks to the princess of light and then escorted her to the queen of the light kingdom. She announced the princess' arrival and then retreated to the door to keep guard.
