The typical days of Telrunya Isle had returned. It was now safe to resume exploring the outdoors, but Esmée really didn't feel like walking outside at the moment. The Pae'il Headquarters had so much to do! She had followed her brother to the beach under her mother's orders, but after she did so, Esmée banned herself from ever going outside again, at least for the next few weeks. There was so much she had not discovered yet!
"So, Fernand," Esmée turned her attention to her penguin familiar. He just stared back at her. "What shall we do today?"
The penguin seemed to shrug before waddling off into the next room. Esmée followed in close pursuit, figuring that her familiar did have an idea. Indeed, he did. "Esmée," he informed her, "we have not visited this part of the vast headquarters as of yet."
Only the familiar of a genius like Esmée would talk like that. "Excellent! Let's explore then, shall we?" Completely ignorant of anyone or anything else in the room, Esmée started scrounging through everything she saw.
(( Esmée and Fernand ))

Amethyst was bored out of her mind. She idly wandered around the island not knowing what to do next and truthfully not even caring as long as it filled the endless hours that seemed to plague her. Her only friend (and amusement) had seemed to disappear along with the rain. She sighed in frustration as she stepped out of the forest she called home. The massive building of the HQ rose above the horizon and she paused debating with herself. She hadn't been since she was a toddler and though she had been young, she'd never forget the scrumptious assortment of goodies Polgara had whipped up for her. She'd been avoiding the building since then, there were normally too many Pae around. But would there still be on a nice sunny day such as this one, and after such a long bout of rain too? She hoped not. With another sigh, this time of resignation, she headed towards the building. Maybe she would get lucky and run into Polgara again.
It appeared her guess was right she thought happily as she entered the building and looked around. It appeared no one else was here. She wandered to the kitchen and much to her delight discovered a plate of brownies sitting on the counter. Amethyst had just been about to take a bite when the first of the sounds reached her ears. Hastily, she turned around ready to defend her brownies only to discover no one was there. The sounds were coming from farther away down the hall. This would require investigation she mused as she took a bite out of her goodie. The taste of decadent chocolate filled her mouth. Oooh it had been too long since her last chocolate binge. Grabbing the plate to take with her, she headed down the hall to follow the sounds. They led her to a room which seemed heaped with strange curiosities, including trunks overflowing with all sorts of various clothes and costumes. And in the middle of it all, digging through the piles, was a purple colored angel girl. And a penguin. How weird Ame though as stared at the penguin a moment before speaking.
"You're making an awful lot of noise you know."

At first, the angel girl completely ignored Amethyst. Sure, she heard the voice, but there was no point in answering when there were so many mystical things littering the room. Why did she care if she was making noise? Cacophony was a natural part of nature, was it not? There would always be noise, and sometimes, there would be a lot of concentrated noise in the same area. So, indeed, the ignorant Esmée continued her exploration of the room.
Ah! This costume was one of a knight! Esmée loved the knights of old, though she stubbornly refused to admit it--mainly because Criofan thought knights were cool. Knights were instantly "uncool" according to popularity standards if males liked them, right? ...Okay, so she had a tendency to over analyze everything. Looking around secretively, she plucked the costume out and decided to try it on. It wouldn't hurt, right? It was just a costume and only her familiar was around.
Except there was still someone else in the room. "Esmée," the penguin chided, lifting a wing to point at the new, darker purple arrival, "You do have company, and I advise you to not ignore it." Afterwards, he gave her a poke in the shoulder to make sure she was paying attention to him.
"Yes, Fernand..." Of course, the response to nothing probably seemed awkward as only she could hear what Fernand said, but Esmée didn't care. She lifted her head and turned around. "It's the noise of discovery! You're interrupting my exploration." She hardly cared if the other present was another child. Esmée was still going to speak in the same manner, whether the other girl present understood it or not! Fernand seemed to sigh, if penguins could sigh, but he did not bother arguing with Esmée--the effort was useless.

Ame rose an eyebrow. "You're rather stuck up aren't you?" Despite her retort, she moved into the room anyway, and started to look around at the costumes herself, digging through the piles. "What is this place?" She'd explored the island fairly thoroughly so this had to be HQ but it didn't look anything like Alaera had told them. And she never said anything about a room full of costumes. Noticing a box overflowing with soft looking diaphanous fabric, Ame went over and pulled it out, examining it closely. It looked like a belly dancer's skirt, red with shimmering decorations that jingled as she moved it. She dug deeper and discovered the top, covered with bells and more flowing fabric draped off of it. She wasn't one to normally be impressed by such things but something about the outfit drew her. "Neat."

How ridiculous this person was! How did they not know where they were? It was decently easy to figure out. After all, it was the main headquarters of the Pae'il. Pae'il and humans alike ran in and out of the place on most occasions, though it seemed to be more empty than usual today. She scoffed as Amethyst openly asked what place they were in, but Esmée would answer her anyway. "We are within the Pae'il Headquarters. This appears to be a room filled to the brim with costumes." Even if she was not trying to sound stuck-up, she always did. Esmée always sounded a bit haughty because of her present way of speaking; she used a form of elevated English.
She pulled on her knight costume, watching Amethyst carefully as she did. This woman needed to be watched carefully, even if Fernand tried to tell her that she should just leave the girl alone.

Amethyst couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Obviously" she muttered under her breath. She watched the girl pull on the knight's armor, thinking as she did that if this girl was allowed to dress up, she could as well. She fingered the crimson red silk a bit more, thinking it would look lovely against her skin, before pulling it out and slipping the skimpy top over her head and then shimmy the skirt up.
Ame looked around the room, wondering for perhaps the first time ever how she appeared, for a mirror or some other sort of reflective surface. Finding one stashed rather haphazardly on a cluster of boxes on the other side of the room and (unfortunately the little girl thought with a grimace) quite close to the other occupant of the room (she quite plainly didn't count Fernand). She strode across the room, pushing the girl out of her way, in her attempt to reach the mirror.

When shoved out the way, Esmée's eyes burned with fury. No one shoved her out of the way, not even her mother! The little girl had an intense hate of being pushed around, and now that this little girl was daring to do such a thing to her, Esmée determined that it was time to rid herself of the nuisance as quickly as possible. Ignoring all of Fernand's warnings against doing something so rash, Esmée pulled the helmet off her head and stormed after the girl.
"Who do you believe yourself to be? Who?! You are certainly nothing worth of ever touching my body," snapped the haughty little girl, pushing her fist out in an attempt to hit the other child in the back. Fernand cringed, if penguins could do so, and decided to waddle in their direction before Esmée or Amethyst became too infuriated. Unfortunately, the haughty one may have already been too annoyed...

Ame turned back to the girl with a 'Hmpf' and looked her over. "Well, from the looks of things, you're a knight and I'm a Sultaness. " She gave Esmee a haughty look, as she pointed to her. "Which means you have to protect me." She trailed off, seeing the green scaled head of a dragon sticking out of one of the boxes of costumes. Bending over to dug it out and added "from the evil dragon." Her finger swung in the direction of the penguin waddling closer to them.

Esmée scoffed, turning away from the woman who dared call herself a sultaness, and therefore, made herself 'better' than Esmée even though she clearly was not. "I will not protect you from anything! Idiots such as yourself deserve to not be protected! I, on the other hand, being brilliant intellectually, need all the protection I can get and then some. You should be taking orders from me, and not the other way around!"

Ame threw down the dragon's head, her temper flaring. "Guardians, what the hell is your problem? You think you're so high and mighty and oh-so-smart. Get over yourself princess!" She ripped the costume off herself and threw the tattered remains at the girl.
"You know I was just trying to play dress-up with you! But evidently you're too smart to know a game when you see one. It's no wonder your only friend is a penguin! No one else can stand you stuck up ways! "
With that she stormed off, out of the room. She didn't know why she had even yelled at the girl, normally she would have just punched her and left. But she had resisted hurting the girl. Perhaps Raziel was having more influence on her behavior then she thought...No. It couldn't be that. She just had wanted to bring the girl down a peg or two. And you couldn't do that by just hitting. Ok well you could but...oh nevermind! Grr! Ame fumed.
What a waste of a morning!
