I frowned at my reflection in the mirror, not sure if black was the best choice of color to wear. The black tunic and trousers, not to mention my black hair, may be a bit harsh.
"August!" I could hear my mother call from outside the door, then she pushed it open and examined me, "August, dear, you look so handsome! But isn't that a little casual? Is that....are Augustus, are those your hunting boots!?"
"Mother, please," I urged, "I'm not trying to put on a facade for these girls. Be lucky I'm wearing shoes."
Mother frowned, her eyebrows furrowed, "Well, at least you cleaned them. Now come, your father and sister are waiting for us and the others are already heading down."
"I'm coming," I say, giving myself one last look in the mirror, feeling a little more satisfied with my appearance.
Turning towards my mother, I gave her a soft smile and we went to join Aris and father.
