"But Ciiiiaraaaa, I can't go out like this!" Emer examined the new dress with distaste, then shot her mother a stern glare. "What are people going to think?"
Ciara gave her a motherly smile and fixed the bow in her hair with no regard for good taste. "They'll think you're a very pretty young lady, just like I do. Not stop squirming. It's only for one day, it won't kill you to wear it for a day, will it?"
Emer tugged at the thin material in a vain attempt to get it to fit more comfortably. It might have looked quite pretty on someone else, but on her it looked like a rumpled sack. "Can't I wear a uniform instead? Deirdre gets to. She says a soldier has always got to look the part."
Ciara brushed some invisible lint from Emer's shoulder and sat back to look at her. "Your grandmother says a lot of things, pup. You're not a soldier, not yet anyway. You're a princess of Cearnach, and my beautiful daughter, and that's what I want everyone to see at the gala tonight. Now, try to smile, at least a little? Please?"
Emer forced a smile long enough to get Ciara to finally leave. When she had first heard of the big gathering that night, she'd been quite excited. Ciara and Deirdre together conspired to keep her at home most of the time, so she only rarely got to meet anyone from outside Cearnach itself. Tonight, dignitaries from all of the Three Kingdoms would be gathered together and it promised to be quite the spectacle.
She tugged at the hated dress again and grumbled under her breath. She could hear everyone laughing at her already. Glancing toward her bedroom door, she cocked one ear, listening for any hint that her mother might be coming back. Slowly, hardly daring to breathe, she knelt down and felt under her bed for the dagger that grandmother Deirdre had given her for her eleventh birthday. Ciara might be able to make her wear a dress, but she would show the whole world she wasn't that kind of princess.

I don't think I said she'd never get to liking wearing them. Just that at the present it seems too girly to her. Call it a variation on the tune, if you will.
Right now any guys trying to get her attention could probably get it, but not the kind they might be wanting. I'm sure she'd like practicing her knife fighting with a guy as much as with another girl. ;3
Any of the boy/girl relationship stuff is way in her future (or girl/girl for that matter). I'm sure all three of us agree on that point.

I know, hon, I was teasing you!
And yes, absolutely! Any boy/girl or girl/girl relationships she might strike up will be strictly platonic and friends only. I love her as she is far too much to want to mess with that! Besides, anyone making a move on her is liable to find out just how protective her Mamma really is!

*gasp* You......teasing me? And here I thought the only way you would tease me is with your gracefully undulating voluptuous body.
Both her mamas! Of course, that's assuming she doesn't take matters into her own paws first and redirect their attention to trying to protect themselves from her.

Perhaps that is what she needs. Come to think of it, skirts and dresses could be thought of as good disguises for a badass tomboy princess to fool those unwise enough to try something underpawed with her. That's a new thought for me. I think you're right and they should hang out together.
Oh, she likes parties well enough. Who could ever say no to free food? It's just the dress she's displeased with. But I imagine you're right. In another decade or so, she might not mind so much. After all, Ciara was much the same until she found out how amazing she looks in that slinky black dress she wears now and then.
