Sir Anstice blinked but continued to smile. "Well a little squabble here or there is better than fist fights." He nodded. "Ah, other than watching over the child, what have you been up to?"
Era emitted a small growl under her breath. Ophelia seemed to be stuck up and that was pissing her off. Someone who was angry at the world would be the first to snap - and Era was no exception. "Someone else blinded by their beliefs." She huffed and turned, walking away from the dark-haired female.
The Prince smiled. "It's a pleasure to meet you Saiph. I am Prince Callistus." So the other was from space...? That would explain the way he was dressed. Though that fact mattered not to the Prince, he was more than happy to find someone willing to assist him in his search for love, a love who's foot would fit the glass slipper he carried.

"Oh, I've been weaving little trinkets for the female spirits and practicing with a new instrument that I have never tried before." She answered softly tilting her head once again, it seemed to be a nervous habit. "Even if its cheap and inexpensive jewelry is such an icebreaker with other girls." She giggled hand coming up to cover her mouth. "And what of you, are you only a peace keeper these days?"
Ophelia frowned but made no move to follow Era; the other knew nothing of what she had went through! With a huff Ophelia flicked her hair with one hand and marched off to find a tree to rest and hide in until the owners returned.
"Where are you a prince from?" Sapih asked curiously, crinkling his nose at the thought... He kind of remembered some sort of glass slipper story but it was at the edge of his mind.

Sir Anstice chuckled. "Ah, that sounds wonderful. It is nice to get to know others and make new friends." Jewelry, huh? Perhaps when he got home he would try his hand at making her something nice. Chances are it wasn't going to be anything spectacular but it would be the thought that counted... just like at Christmas! Well.. he hoped. "Ah, yes yes. I try to keep others at ease. And to the younger one, Tempest, I tell her stories of Christmas' past."
Era carried on, grumbling under her breath in a nasty tone. The nerve of her! Lost in her own little world and believes. Such a close-minded person.
The Prince soon found himself rambling about his home land and his people. He went on to tell him of his castle and his parents, the King and Queen. It was some time until he caught himself. "Ah- forgive me... I've been rambling..."

"Oh, I'm sure she enjoys hearing about it! I had our guide elaborate some and it sounds so fun... I understand why the younger generation wanted to embrace it." Fai'Mai smiled remembering the tales of all the sweats and families staying together, loving one another.
Ophelia ran her fingers through her hair as a makeshift brush, she hated being told off by other females! They of all people should understand the horror that males caused.
"Its fine, I have to understand your wish in its entirety to be able to grant it!" Sapih replied with a small grin, it did sound like the story of CindyRella! But, he knew this prince wasn't Cindy's because she had already found hers thanks to his sister's help.

"It is very fun and heart warming. Perhaps this year... we can celebrate it together?" Anstice looked at her with hope in his eyes. Spending a Christmas with the one who was becoming the love of his life would be the best thing to happen to him. Like a dream he didn't wish to wake from. He hoped she should say yes.
Era sat down on a rock, crossing her arms. This was such a pain. Now she couldn't return to the group - not that she wanted to anyways. She had freedom but yet she felt empty. It was such a pain indeed.
The Prince tilted his head. "Ah, I would suppose you'd need to... My wish is simple... My love would be the one who's foot would fit in this slipper. Not by force, not by a foot too small, but by the foot which fits snug inside." He nodded. From the displays of affection which weren't existence in his time, he began to wonder if the person he searched for was a man instead of a woman. As all the woman whom he'd ask to try on the slipper had feet to wide, too small or too large to fit into the slipper. Such a thought was so foreign to him and he was afraid it was the case.

"That would be wonderful, I'm sure an expert on the holiday would make it a wondrous time." She turned fully to him and give such a childish little smile, it was her first Christmas and she felt like bouncing like a child at the thought. With the holiday only two short months away it would seem like only a few weeks.
Ophelia glowered at Era from her spot in the tree, she could still see the other in the distance and she made a show of huffing and turning away, letting her legs dangle from the branch. She was surprised she had been able to manage to scoot up into the tree, her husband would've yelled at her for it...
"Have you ever seen your true love?" Saiph asked after a moment peering down at the shoe. It was a funny size, that was for sure, but he'd not say that out loud.

"Then we shall find a tree which we can use to decorate. It will be some time before the time to decorate it comes, but would you like to find some things we can use? Perhaps we can take vines and make some wreaths!" He chuckled and smiled contently. Sure it was a bit early but it was something they can do together and hopefully they could get enough done from now until the week of Christmas to make it really spectacular!
Era looked down and picked up a small pebble. She soon tossed it into the air, watching it soar off into the distance. She mused at the thought of it hitting Ophelia and began to laugh. It wasn't a probable event due to her lack of any major physical strength but it still gave a good mental image.
The Prince watched Saiph. "Ah... I was to marry a Princess before I passed away but I am not sure what our love was. It was an arranged marriage... So I had not the time to look at anyone else..."

"Oo, that sounds fun, decorations are always so much more delightful when you make them yourself or with loved ones." She clasped her hands together and looked back at the group hoping everything was going well, a small frown gracing her lips at the thought of them not doing so.
Opehila sneered at the ground rocking against the branch idly, but even though she was a spirit she still didn't have perfect balance, and one lean too far and she crashed to the ground in an undignified heap.
"So you don't know anything about her at all?" Sapih asked with a frown, that sounded awful!

He looked at Fai'Mai and frowned a bit. "Would you like to go see how the others are doing?" He brought a warm smile to his lips again. She seemed worried and Anstice didn't want her to be. He was sure they were just being themselves and were okay.
Era caught a glimpse of something falling from a tree and couldn't really make out what it was since it was last minute. An ear flicked as she rose to her feet and slowly began to walk over to see what it was.
The Prince shook his head no. "Nope... And for all I know it could be a he. It scares me that I know so little..."

"Just for a moment before we wander off too far, I would feel bad if something happened while we were away." She admitted hesitantly holding out her palm wondering if he would lace his fingers with hers.
Ophelia let out a small noise of irritation as she picked herself up off the ground, she couldn't believe that she had fallen like that! Stupid tree, it had caused all this.
"Oh, well that will make this much harder but I'm sure it'll work!" Saiph assured cheerily before he pulled out the small mirror and began to swirl the images around on the surface.

Anstice nodded and placed his hand in hers, smiling as he lead her over to the group. "I'm sure they're alright. But I do agree."
Era saw Ophelia get up and couldn't help but laugh. She was the object that fell from the tree! Oh how priceless~! "Hehe... Gonna blame the tree on that one?" She smirked and crossed her arms.
The Prince nodded and tried to see what Saiph was doing. "I sure hope it would... I long to find my love." He was lonely since his death and wanted someone to call his own. Someone to love and hold close. But didn't everyone want love in their life?

"Thank you, hopefully you're correct and we won't have to worry when we leave for a while." She smiled noticing that most were getting along, she cast a worried glance around when she couldn't find Ophelia, but she heard the female's voice just off to the side and let out a sigh of relief, if she was complaining she was alright. "It seems all is well."
"S-shut up!" Ophelia snapped irritably glancing at her hair again, running her fingers through it to pick out any dirt that had lodged itself there. "And it was the tree's fault." She hissed, not raising her gaze from the too clean strands she was running over.
"Well, it might take a little longer than you'd like but if she's here in the after life we'll be able to find her." Saiph assured again, hoping he was right but he didn't voice it once again. "Since we have nothing to go on I'll have to dig through the wish pool and see if I can find something." He explained, but there was no guarantee he could find anything since so few spirits had shown faith in him.

Anstice nodded. "Then shall we go gather some vines?" He smiled. He had watched the mother and child from the family he lived with make these wreaths made of vines and learned the process. In his spare time before meeting Fai'Mai he practiced making them and now was rather good at it.
Era snickered a bit as she placed her hand on her hip. "Admit it. You were doing something stupid and you fell. It was your fault."
The Prince listened with another nod. "Alright..." He was growing nervous and anxious by every moment. Would today be his lucky day?

"Yes, lets go, lead the way." She replied looking back at the other spirits once more before following.
"Hmph, what would you know?" Ophelia snorted but she didn't look up, she was use to the condescending looks that people plastered on their faces.
Saiph hummed a bit before catching a strand. "AH! Someone made a wish to find a prince! I can't tell who it is, but its in here so we should be able to find them sometime over the course of the next few months."

Anstice smiled as he lead her off towards the forest, making sure the path was clear of any branches which could harm her, holding those back which were in the way until she was safely on the other side.
Era rolled her eyes a bit. "I saw something fall from this tree here and it happened to be you. I didn't see the tree smack you or anything so it had to of been something you were doing. There's also no wind today."
The Prince smiled contently. Someone had wished for a prince...? Oh, how wonderful! "I cannot wait to find the soul who wishes for a Prince in their life. I do hope that their foot will fit in this slipper... Oh how I hope..."
