Welcome to Gaia! ::

Face. Desk. That's what Lewis wanted to do right about now. He stood up and leaned forward to 'look' at the paper. [i["Announce you will be taking the throne, you idiot!" he whispered fiercely, knowing only his nephew would hear.

Oliver looked at the food, "Sir, I ate-" kind of, but he knew he wasn't going to be getting away, so he ate. "there are a lot of familiars in Falia, maybe you could go there and meet one." he took a bite and chewed slowly, it was good, really good. he took another bite and looked at the chef. he chose to speak in Yashweh's language so he didn't feel left out, "will you teach me how to make this too, Chef?"

Leo stood, "i'm going to go put these two down, they are getting heavy. Oliver, keep Yashweh company? he needs someone to help his translate." he waited for Oliver to nod before smiling at the Chef, "thank you again for taking your free time for this. excuse me." he bowed slightly before heading out, Tsume following after him.

Tsume decided to find Kashi, wondering where the girls had drug him off to.

FINALLY! They were getting somewhere! Even if it was in tiny little baby steps, Lewis would take it. His adorable little Elliot was so shy, he was having a hard time, but that's where Lewis stepped in. he moved to the other side of his desk and knelt before Elliot, lifting the hand with the royal ring up and touching his forehead to it, "Hail, King Elliot." there were whispers through the room before cloth rustle and one by one the nobles knelt and repeated his words. Lewis stood and grinned, "i'm so proud of you, Ellie." but he whispered, not wanting that to be heard. "very well, we will support this. should Kasp try anything, we will drag them from the sky by their feathers!" there was a roar of approval and Lewis patted Elliot's shoulder, "go, rest. i will handle everything else. oh, you might want to inform the boy of your ranking. and the ceremony for your crowning will be tomorrow. make sure Leo knows so he can look extra pretty."

Oliver wasn't sure what that meant. did she cook with the servants because she liked to or because women were nothing more than servants there? "Do only women cook? he asked softly, wondering if Yasweh's learning he was a cook would make the boy look down on him. he was already just a servant, was there something lower in the other's mind?

The babies were tucked into bed and Leo sat in his chair, rocking back and forth slowly, playing with the gem he'd been given by the elder. he hadn't told Elliot about the visit yet and with everything going on, he wondered when might be a good time. Elliot had a lot on his plate right now, would he even want to hear?

Oliver nodded understanding better now as he finished the food Chef had given him. "is that good? do you want to be in politics?" he asked as he took his dishes to the sink and washed them.

Oliver looked down, "I can wash them, sir." but Elliot returned and Oliver could only stare in wonder at what the man was saying. "we will what?" he gasped, but the prince was already leaving. "Chef, I-I'm just a slave. How can i do something as important as be a translator for him?"

Leo's hands closed around the jewel instinctively when Elliot came into the room. he smiled at the kiss to his head and watched his husband, looking for any signs of stress and finding more than a few. "so, what has been decided?"

Oliver quickly bowed, "I am Oliver. pleasure to meet you, Mr. Yashweh." he still wasn't sure about this, but if it was an order, he couldn't refuse. "I was told to stay with you, so, um, you will need a place to sleep and clothing..." he looked to the Chef for help. did he offer the other his bed? no, he was an important guest, so should Oliver prepare a room? he didn't know!

Leo felt sorry for his husband, but this is what had to happen to help those people. "i shall find something suitable...Elliot?" he opened his hands and showed his husband the jewel, "do you think it would be possible to have this fitted to a chain before then? it was given to me by the elder and i would like to wear it for your coronation."

Oliver nodded, he would sleep on the floor Yashweh would sleep in the bed. he'd have to hide his teddy bear, he didn't want the visitor to see it and decide he wanted it. Oliver would have no choice but to give it to him. "U-um, I am Oliver." he'd already told Yashweh his name, but the other must not have been listening. he finished the dishes and washed off his hands, drying them quickly, "where should i find warm clothing for him? i've dirtied the set i had..."

Leo nodded, "there is a lot to arrange, announcements to be made and the like, i would be surprised if it was as soon as tomorrow afternoon. it will probably be in the evening so that nobles can come for it as well." he stood, "it's late, but do you think that we can go to the blacksmith?"

Oliver bowed, "yes sir. this way, Mr. Yashweh." he got off the stool they used for washing dishes and hurried away wondering if Justin would have to lend out his clothing yet again. He planned to wash the set of warm clothing he'd warm earlier as soon as their guest was asleep and give them to him in the morning. he needed them more that Oliver did. he opened the door to the servant's bath and hurried to get everything ready. he tried to not remember his own bath with princess martha earlier, a small shiver going up his spine anyways. he got a washcloth and soap and held them out to Yashweh, "do you require help?"

Leo smiled, "would you like me to sew you something, my love? or i could touch up one of your more formal outfits and make it more suited to the occasion. i wouldn't mind, and i could finish in time, i am sure." he was happy to hear they would get the necklace done in the morning, he felt like he should have the elder's present there for the coronation. it only seemed proper.

Tsume heard Kashi as he walked up and put an arm around his lover's shoulder, "you really should learn to use your nose, love." he took a deep breath, but couldn't smell as much as he would be able to in his wolf form. he shifted over and sniffed around a bit before catching her scent, "this way." he head for the forest, following the trail left by the wandering girl.
