Etaya gave her a side-glance and then walked in the bathroom. Anastasia followed her. Etaya stepped in the water without creating fuss. While Jor'gas gave her a bath, Anastasia stayed away. It was gross watching her take a bath. But she helped her with her clothes. When she was about to leave, Etaya said with narrowed eyes, "Who are you?"
For a moment Anastasia froze. She looked at Etaya with a cautious look and meekly said, "I am Natsya, m'lady."
Etaya sized her up and without speaking a word, walked out of the bedroom to the antechamber where the court painter was waiting for them. Over the next several hours, the painter asked them to keep sitting in the same position.
