Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yashweh

"Really? No community sleeping? Families do that, I'm always curled between my brother and mother." but he climbed into the bed and laid down underneath the even heavier blankets. This country needed this to protect from the cold. He could only wonder how rich the family was compared to his, and it made him a bit sad. There was family here, but they weren't, well, close? It seemed a bit different. "Oliver, would it make you uncomfortable if I asked you to lie on the other side of the bed?" and moved to peer onto the floor where the boy was. "I won't touch you," especially not since Oliver was at the capital. "I'd be comfortable knowing someone was jut on the other side."

Yashweh

Maybe it did make Oliver uncomfortable. Yashweh tried to sleep, turning on his side but the bed was far to soft and large for him. After an hour he quietly slid down and moved beside Oliver. he left a good foot of space between them, but just hearing the other's breathing that much closer was enough and he fell asleep.

Come morning, however, Justin peeked in before closing the door and opening the curtains. He heard a child's voice groan, looking over and seeing a blue-haired boy next to Oliver. "O-Oliver!" Justin whispered, the other boy sitting up. "Oliver today we're really busy. I need you to wake up. There's no time for a proper breakfast so I brought you toast." he handed over a thick slab of bread smeared with jam before. "And you, um, you can have mine." Yashweh received the second slice. "We're going to be doing a lot of polishing and cleaning today."

Yashweh didn't understand any of that, but by looking at the stress lines on the other's face he nodded dumbly, quickly eating the food.

"Great! Get dressed! I'll wait outside the door!" and ran out quickly.

"What is happening?"

Come morning, someone was knocking hard on Tsume's door. "kashi!" came Megan's voice. "Kashi today is busy why are you still in bed?" she called.

The hare gave a yawn, looking over and quickly becoming alert. He took the upper blanket, letting Tsume with his dignity with the thinner one, and opened the door wrapped in it. "Megan what's wrong?"

"The king informed Henry this morning that Elliot's coronation is tonight!"

"What? But that's so incredibly short notice!"

She handed him a few pages of paper, "Some staff still aren't back from their vacations in other cities and towns so these are the things you and Tsume will be doing. Get it done before the sun sets." and ran off to quickly attend her own duties.

"How does he expect us to get this all done in one day?!" he shouted.

"Live up to your animal!" she called back, quickly rushing down the stairs.

Kashy looked at her before looking at the list of papers, hearing a few more maids rush by the door to get things ready. Many nobles would be staying overnight, especially on such short notice.

"Tsume get up!" he yelled, closing the door and going to the water pitcher, wetting and lathering the cloth, washing the essentials before wiping the soap away with a clean wet cloth. "tsume we've things we need to do I need you to wake up! Get dressed! Give yourself a whore's bath we need to go." and Kashi found his clothes in the wardrobe, pulling out the first thing he grabbed, Falian clothes, and dressed.

Yashweh

Yashweh nodded. "I don't want to get in the way. I really don't know what the rules are of this country." and followed Oliver. "But a coronation? That's right Elliot will become king! He said so last night!"

Justin looked at Oliver as he spoke, quickly looking at the boy with messy hair and a ruby on his turban. "I don't know I think the masters have a busy schedule of preparation as well!" Justin was quickly going through his mind of places they could put Yashweh. "We could let him be in the princesses' company. They're not helping prepare I don't think and if they are it's incredibly minute things."

Kashi handed the third and fourth papers to Tsume. "You do that! I have these two! As quickly and carefully as possible! Everything must be perfect. Perfect, incredibly perfect. Supremely perfect." and walked out in a rush.

Elliot's ears were perked and his brain was awake, listening to the sounds before he quickly sat up. "We need to get the heaven stone to the blacksmith." he said suddenly, white hair a bird's nest.

Yashweh

"It's okay I don't want to be in the way. I'm sure they'll take good care of me." and smiled.

"All right. Meet me at the main stairs we need to polish and wax the wood."

Yashweh waved bye to Justin, the boy barely having time to even speak that last sentence to them before running off. "three princesses? What are their ages? They all sound so varied. And a knight? Like a warrior? Women are some of the best warriors! I've seen some and they're so good at what they do!"

Alvaro was double checking everything. They'd gotten majority of it polished so many months ago, but now the king was worried he'd forgotten or that the crown had somehow magically broken in its cushioned box. "Everything needs to be perfect."

The prince smiled, running his fingers through his hair before getting out of bed and stretching. "Let me dress, then we can go into town to get it done, all right?"

Yashweh

"I hope they treat me well. I'm 9 as well." he said happily, stopping by the door.

Emily opened the door, looking between Oliver and Yashweh before looking somewhat disappointed. "We still need to get dressed but translation books? Where is he from?"

Elliot changed as well, taking Rin before following Leo down stairs. "We will get you two something to eat, then off to being responsible." he said, tapping the tip of Rin's nose with his finger.

Yashweh

"Arabian?" She asked. "I'm not familiar with the term but you're right, I might be able to find something in the library." Hazel eyes looked over at Yashweh before nodding. "There are no classes today so I'll be in the library. Prince Yashweh, hello." and did a small curtsey with what she could of her nightgown.

"And it's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Emily." and bowed to her before looking at the fellow Retian. "And that's so nice of you, Oliver."

"Oliver have you seen Martha?" Annabelle asked, walking forward while brushing her hair. "We woke up and she was gone, and we didn't see her come to bed either." She looked away, going back to the child sized vanity, "Honestly Elliot is going to be king and she's gone missing. And we still need to get dressed!"

Elliot weaved through the kitchen, surprised at the crowd cooking and preparing. It didn't help that the normally warm kitchen was sweltering hot, multiple fireplaces burning to prepare a variety of foods. The air was thick with the smell of meats, vegetables, spices and fruits, people's voices carrying over as they loudly communicated.

It all hurt Elliot's ears.

He motioned for four bottles, this way they could leave and not be in the way. The white ears were kept down to help block the noise, quickly taking an offered bottle and slowly feeding Rin. he waited for the second bottle, taking that in his teeth before slipping between people and out of the kitchen. He felt terrible all this last minute preparation of the food, and maids were rushing to fix bedrooms and dust them off.

No doubt that cleaning every day, no matter how tedious, had finally paid off for such a surprise.

Yashweh

"Aribian. All right." and she waved bye before looking at Yashweh.

Yashweh looked back, "Well what now?"

The girl offered her hand. "I'm Emily."

Elliot nodded, gently moving the bottle to rest on Rin's belly. "Well perhaps they'll get a lovely little bonus for working so hard in one day." Compliments of him once the drama was over. "And a nice little vacation. I'll make a schedule, these people get a week off, next week these people get a week off, everyone gets a lovely week off. However at different intervals because I cannot have them all disappear at once." and glanced at Rin who had paused his drinking to cough, not a choking cough, just to cough. "And that's a good idea," he said, sitting on his desk chair before letting Rin eat again, "Bundle them nice and warm and take them out. We can do that."

Yashweh

Elliot stared at the strange contraption, having no doubt it was made out of some sort of uncommon plant material like the water sap of troll blood or something. "I think I'd prefer carrying my child, or using a long sheet of fabric as a sling." He loved Falia he really did but too many inventions were outside of his comfort zone or just plain odd. What happened to holding your baby in your arms.
