This is Rita's first time away from her lord's realm in years. The occasion is an unusual one, though it has some perks. She was given a new dress, clean and without wear, unlike her usual rags. Its colors, of course, are red and black, to complement her master's aesthetics, and its design is simple enough not to draw too much attention to her. She is a mere servant, after all.
She stands at her master's side, silent and still while he socializes with the Rose Queen. At times, she stares at the other changeling in attendance, but averts her gaze whenever it seems like their eyes are about to meet. While he carries the fruit bowl, there doesn't appear to be much purpose to Rita's being here. Perhaps being accompanied by a servant is a sort of status symbol to the fae. It hardly matters to her, anyway.
When the Queen gives her command, the Lord of Conflagration makes a simple waving gesture, wordlessly communicating the same to Rita. She nods, turns, and walks away at a steady pace. Of course, she knows practically nothing about this area, and wandering into the wrong place could be a serious faux pas... and at a time when she needs to avoid trouble at all costs, no less. She decides to follow the other changeling as he leaves the courtyard.
When she catches up with him, she merely gives him a pointed, expectant stare. He ought to know the way to... wherever servants should go when they're not needed, right? Then obviously, he should lead the way.
