Welcome to Gaia! ::

He expected him to use the guest baths? Oliver felt a little sick, but that was the prince's expectation, he would have to obey. "I shall be fine, sire. do you wish me to walk you to the kitchens first? Saeghtin should be there, he will help you translate, but i can come as well, if you wish it."

Pix rapped Fyr over the head, "how many times to i have to tell you? don't just grab people's wings! you're lucky he's nice!" she shook her head, "apologies, she's forgetful. i know how uncomfortable it is to feel your wings threatened." she gave him a small smile before looking over the food and piling her plate with mostly meat and a few rolls with some vegetables thrown in there. "i'm glad you don't have to cook for the lot of us. Henry said this is suppose to be your month off?"

Kiara got a balanced meal of fruits, grains, meats, vegetables and dairy before sitting down to eat. "Nix, this is princess Annabelle, correct? it is a pleasure to meet you." she smiled warmly at the girl, having not met the triplet princesses before now.

Nix nodded, "Anna, this is Kiara. isn't her blue skin beautiful?"

Lewis whined, "i can't decide now! i'll have to research." he nodded before sitting up, "ugh, we should get up. don't want to, but i'm hungry and i'm not about to make the servants come up and bring us food after all that work they did."

And now he was waiting. Oliver watched the door close with a sense of dread. if he didn't take long enough, the prince would question if he'd bathed properly, but if he took too long, he would have made the prince wait and chance annoying him. Oliver quickly slipped out of his clothing and into the water, wanting to get this over with. he washed, using the soap instead of taking time to lather a cloth first. he washed his hair and dunked himself before getting out and draining the water. there were some residual suds, but he got those off with a towel only to realise he didn't have a spare change of clothing for himself. panic filled his chest as he searched, but there was nothing. he looked at his already worn clothing and would normally put them on without a thought, but the prince had wanted him clean. he closed his eyes and knew he would have to chance it, putting on his clothes and placing the prince's already worn ones in the clothes basket. he stepped out, his eyes downcast, and bowed, "forgive me for making you wait."

Pix nodded, "my wings are a lot sturdier that yours look to be and i still have to worry. it's strange how such flimsy things can hold up our entire bodies, right?" she grinned as she ate, enjoying the spices in the meats, "somehow i don't think you are being completely truthful, sir. what about you, Henry? doesn't it look like he's hiding something?" her eyes narrowed playfully, "spill, or i shall have to force it out of you. Just ask Henry, i'm good at getting what i want."

Kiara smiled and met the princess' hand with her own, "touch as much as you like. Even in Falia, there are none with the same skin tone as i, but it gladdens me that you find it pretty."

Lewis blushed, "i stopped doing that years ago!" he got up and grumbled to himself as he found clothing, "not my fault i was always hungry-" he muttered, remembering a time when he'd had a pretty bad relapse and had been afraid of being starved, so he hide food everywhere in little troves.

"Miss Megan?" he asked, hoping that was who the prince met, "uh-of course, sire, but would you rather eat first?" he worried that the prince wasn't eating, did he feel alright? was he sick? if he was, it was Oliver's fault. had he not been caring for the prince properly? worries flit through his head as he lead the way towards the kitchens, the servant's quarters near there anyways.

Pix snorted and then started to laugh, her head rocking back a little, "that's rich! you do that, little birdy." she winked at him before moving her stool closer to Henry, "he's fun, maybe we should have him play with us too, hmm? or don't you do men? you seem the type to have tried at least once."

Kiara giggled, "after we eat, i must visit with your Father, Lewis, but once that is done, shall i join you for a bath so you may see all of my skin?" she had noticed Anna trying to look at her feet, "i promise i am blue everywhere, what's more-" she leaned closer, whispering conspiratorially, "i have no hair!" her hand touched the tendrils on top of her head, "these aren't like your human hair, they are more like cat's whiskers, how about that?"

Nix giggled, "Kiara can make plants grow, no matter what! it's really fun to watch because her hands glow when she does it!"

Lewis squirmed in Al's arms, smiling, but at those words he looked down, no matter how many times he heard it, it still felt wrong. he still felt like he didn't deserve something as great as love, let alone this amazing man's love. "I love you too," he whispered in reply, being selfish and taking advantage of Al's affection. he hated himself for it, but i just felt so good to love and be loved, he couldn't help but indulge

Oliver nodded and lead the way to the servant's rooms. he knew which one was Miss Megan's since she often had Justin bring her to him. he guessed she was what a real mother would be like, and he envied Justin that, but she was very kind to him too. he knocked and switched languages, "Miss Megan? I'm sorry if i woke you, but Prince Yashweh has a question?"

Pix's eyes widened as she took in a deep breath through her nose. her pupils slit and she leaned in close, her lips brushing Henry's ear, "one thing you should know, i can smell a lie. you are being honest, but not completely-have a one night fling, darling?"

Kiara leaned forward, turning her head as she bent it down to make it easier for the girl, "go ahead, just softly-it is sensitive, you know."

Lewis smiled as he finished dressing, "yes, that would be helpful. just because you aren't king, doesn't mean you can run around in your boxers. only i get that privilege!"

Oliver quickly translated for Megan, but when he heard Yashweh's question, he flushed miserably. of course he noticed, but Oliver had to translate everything accurately. his voice died away a little towards the end, whispering the rest, his eyes locked on the floor as he felt the flush slowly trailing down his neck. "it's ok-" he managed to say, shuffling, "these aren't dirty, i am fine."

Pix huffed, "fine, if that is your desire." she shrugged and happily took the fruit from Fyr, "just wanting to get to know you is all. one night stands aren't bad things, look at all of us!" she smiled as she waved a little around the room and then went back to eating.

Kiara laughed softly, "i am glad you think so. what is it you do for fun, Annabelle? it is nice to get to know new people and i wish to get to know you."

Lewis made sure Al was dressed before taking the larger hand into his own and heading for the kitchens, "dunno. might be, though i think i saw Henry dancing with some attractive women last night. maybe he's still in bed, recovering." he winked, pausing in front of the kitchen doors, "sounds lively in there, doesn't it?" his smile grew and he walked in, surprised to find five women he'd glimpsed the night before sitting around Henry, eating. "well, well, well! A happy morning to us all, it seems!"

Oliver had been humliated many, many times before, but it almost seemed worse now, having to stand in front of these people who had been so very kind as he was sized up for clothing. he was a very clean person, but he felt filthy under their gaze. he should have washed the clothing in the bath. they would have been wet a while, but that was better than this! he kept his eyes down, too embarrassed to remember he was suppose to translate, finally bowing low, "thank you, madam, you are very kind."

Kiara nodded, "you and Alice would get along well. Alice-" she called to the mouse, "This little princess is in love with clothing. you two should talk fashion. Alice, you see," she said, turning back to Annabelle, "is a seamstress, as is Pix. they have been taught how to weave sunlight and flowers into cloth, a secret technique that has been hidden carefully for generations! i sew, a little, just here and there to help, but i cannot weave. i grow the plants they use, though." she turned to the door and smiled, Lewis had come to them, it seemed. "Kiara, good morning."

Nix was enjoying her friend's fascination with Kiara and talking about the things she liked. it was nice to see Annabelle on her own, not competing with her sisters.

Pix smiled and waved at the couple, "gooood morning! we're Henry's harem, nice to meet you." a little revenge for his snappishness about prodding into his past. "and we've a request for dear Lewis, and you too, former king Ally."

Lewis snorted, "Ally-" he covered his hand and tried to get control back, taking a moment before nodding, "Congratulations, Henry! i always knew you were a beast, all these women-" he let out a low whistle, "go ahead and make your request."

"We want to live here," Pix said, straight to the point.

Lewis shrugged, "i'm ok with it. Ally?" he grinned, unable to stop himself.

Oliver nodded, "he shall have full us of them, madam. i apologize for inconvinencing you." he took a step back and softly told Yashweh what she had said. "i shall go and change clothing, sire, and put the extra clothing away. the kitchen is down the hallway, and to your right, it is impossible to miss. i shall join you shortly."

Kiara nodded, "i do tend to go for a different style than most, but i do like frilly things as well on occasion. most of my clothes are more form fitting, but i like them that way."

Nix grinned, "you should teach us how to sew! then we can start making our own pretty clothes!"

Pix stood up and gave the former king a hug, "thanks! oh, mine will have to be modified a bit, but it won't do any damages. just have to keep it at a certain temperature, you know. dragon eggs are so finicky!" she went back to eating, content that they had permission.

Oliver's eyes widened and he stared at Yashweh's retreating form. The kind words had felt-nice. he flushed a little and hurried to the prince's room to change. he didn't take long and soon he was running to the kitchen to see if he was needed.

Kiara nodded, "sure, i could teach you if you like."

Pix lifted an eyebrow, "No, dragon eggs. like-baby dragons? duh." she rolled her eyes and sat back down next to Henry, "He's gonna be a daddy...several times over."

Oliver peeked into the kitchen and found Yashweh quickly enough. he was getting food for himself and Oliver hurried to his side, "here, let me do that."

Nix saw a flash of color and noticed Yashweh and Oliver had joined them. "oliver!" she watched as he flinched a little and looked at her, "you have to tell us where Megan went. she didn't come back last night."

Oliver lowered his eyes, "i cannot say, princess, i am sorry."
