Welcome to Gaia! ::

Capell laughed at her request, considering it was a bit too late. "Sorry, princess, I grew up in the Slums, this was no big deal back home." He responded with a smile, even though she couldn't see. He sat down beside the water as she regained herself.

With the combination of the splash and the humor found in that sentence, Capell dropped to the floor and starting rolling on the floor, laughing. "Is that so, ma'am? Quite right. Shall I start your bath, or perhaps get you something to read, madam?" He asked as he stood up again. Sykes was focused on Arethusa, who reminded Sykes of himself, only bigger.

Capell nodded and bowed as she demanded such things. "I'm terribly sorry to inform you of this, your highness..." He started off. He quickly grabbed the bucket beside the pond, filled it up and tossed it at her. "But the bath's going to be a bit chilly tonight!" He yelled with a laugh.

Capell could obviously see that this was troubling her, so he kept his composure and asked her without any sarcasm. "I take it you really are some sort of princess, aren't you?" He laughed a little at how silly the question sounded, but it sounded right in his head. "You seem a little too jumpy at the fact that you're in a POND, a giant puddle of water, and you still think you're bathing with a man."

He took the hit and processed the thought that he, Capell Strife, had actually just bitten the granddaughter of Count Dracula, the first registered vampire to the world. "Wow... Um... Yeah." He couldn't think of anything to say. It was a lot of stuff to take it, when he thought about it. His first kiss? Dracula's granddaughter. Person who saved his life? Dracula's granddaughter. First Vampire bite? You get the picture. "Well... I'm not sorry you saved my life, I'm still pretty grateful for that." He finally said with a smile. He concluded that if it wasn't that extreme or important when he didn't know she was royalty, then it shouldn't be any different when he knew that Teresia was royalty.

He stayed in the water as she got out, god forbid he get hit again. "Sounds like someone's in a bit of a pickle. Is that why you go around as a healer? To make up your what your family's done?" He asked out of his curiosity, which he was sure at this point would be the death of him.

"Oh ho, sounds like someone's got a resentment towards someone." Capell taunted as he got out of the water. He had his usual smile on his face, but his eyes gave a glare as if to say he'd shut her up if he had to. "For the record, what your family's done doesn't determine what you'll have to do for the rest of your life, so stop thinking you have to act this way because your royalty or because your family screwed stuff up. Big deal."
