 ~Allister Adair~ Allister was smiling and whispering to himself gently as he was creating strange concoctions all at once. The wonderful aroma was spreading through out the house, which was even catching the tailor's attention. There was some food already prepared on the table, which was probably a lot, but Allister was not really used to other people living with him when he barely knew them. The thought made him chuckle and he finally turned off all the burners on the stove. Everything was done, except for the baklava in the oven. It was a strange treat that was Allister's favorite. After he set the table with all the wondrous foods he called out for Odessa. "Odessa, it's time to eat now."
((Sick!~ c: ))

 ≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa couldn't tell which she was savoring more: the book, or the delicious scent of the food coming from the kitchen. Both were amazing. She kept reading even though she was starving. Soon, she contained herself and started to keep her nose in the book, literally. She was deep into the third chapter when she heard Allister call her. Quickly making another mental note of the page number, she closed the book, set it down on the small table beside the armchair, and walked over to the kitchen. "Ay, Dios mío..." she whispered as she caught sight of all the food that was laid out for the them. Odessa looked up at Allister with a look that was mixed with surprise and happiness. "This looks amazing." She sniffed the air, letting her nose fill with the savory aromas that were mixed in the air. Then, she started to sense something baking in the oven. Following the scent, she walked over to the oven and noticed the baklava and immediately got excited. "Baklava!" she exclaimed. She had only had it once in her life, but the one time she tasted it, she had loved it and kept the memory of the taste fresh in her mind. "Thank you so much," she said to Allister, scanning the platters of food and wondering what to try first. Of course, she wasn't going to start eating yet. That would make her look like a pig. ((I don't know whether to say, "Aww..." or "Yay!" But you're smiling about it, so I might as well just say, "Yay!" But I hope you feel better. =] ))

~Allister Adair~ Allister was waiting patiently for Odessa to come to the kitchen. He was a little worried if she would think him weird for making so much or for not making anything she liked. He was becoming a little tense as he waited, but soon relaxed when he heard Odessa. "Thank you. This is all for you. It's the first time I have ever served anyone in my own home." It made him a little nervous, but soon got over it when Odessa began to get excited over the baklava. He couldn't help but laugh at how cute she was when she was that happy. It made him a little happy as well. "It should be done by the time we are done eating. Now you may eat if you like." He waved for her to sit down as he sat down himself. He began to fill his plate up with a little bit of everything, but did not start eating yet. He was waiting for Odessa to start eating. It was only polite to do so.
((Either doesn't matter. xP Just wanted to put it out there for the next time I don't reply.))

≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa looked at Allister, shocked upon hearing that all the food was hers. "This can't all be for me," she said, unsure. Her head was tilted to the side and you could see the confusion in her big blue eyes. "I can't possibly have all of this. A few scraps would have been fine. Really, they would have been." Although she had sounded believable, her stomach disagreed. It let out a soft rumble, screaming to be filled to the brim with the delicacies upon the table. Embarrassed, she blushed and sat down at the table, starting to put a bit of every dish on her plate. Then she looked up at Allister to see what her next move should be. He hadn't started eating, and she instinctively waited for him to start. However, she realized a few seconds later that he was probably waiting for her to eat first. Bowing her head, she folded her hands and placed them in her lap. "Gracias a Dios por un dueño maravilloso y esta comida rica. Amén." Then she started to eat the hot, delicious food in front of her. Upon taking her first bite, she struggled to hold in a moan of pleasure. The food was scrumptious, and she couldn't get enough of it. She had never had anything like it, especially since her old masters were ruthless and hardly put her taste buds to use. A few leftover scraps hanging from a bone don't truly satisfy hunger or cravings, but it was what she was used to. This master knew how to treat her like a human being and fed her properly. That was why Allister was becoming her favorite master. She continued to ponder as she slowly ate the rest of her food off of her plate.

~Allister Adair~ Allister smiled and nodded encouragingly. "Well, I made it all in hopes you'd have enough to choose from, but if you don't want to eat it all you don't have to." His smile faded and he twitched slightly at the word of "scraps." Was that what she was fed? How could somebody survive off of that? That was probably why she was so skinny, now that he got a better look at her. But soon his smile returned when her stomach growled and she had sat down to quiet it. It made him feel relieved that she was eating it. "It is good, yeah?" Now he began to eat as well, watching Odessa's expressions. She was a beautiful girl, and her being happy made her radiant.

≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa continued to eat, the food slowly vanishing from her plate. "It's delightful," was her response to his question. As soon as the plate was clean, she grinned and patted her mouth with a napkin. Then she took the plate over to the kitchen sink and started to wash it. She also washed her utensils and cup that held her drink. Well, I don't think I can remember ever having a meal as wonderful as that ever in my life, she thought to herself as she smiled and dried off the plate. Her eyes shone brightly and you could practically feel the happy, bright aura around her. "Thank you, Allister," she said with a sweet smile as she leaned against the counter. "The meal was delicious. I can't compare it to anything I've ever had in my life." Her eyes still held a slight sparkle, even though no light hit them as she looked down and started to play with the skirt of her dress a bit. Getting distracted by little things after entering a state of euphoria, she even started to let her fingers tousle her golden blond hair. She was looking around the room with a smile on her face that couldn't seem to be washed away. It was a nice feeling to experience: the combination of satisfaction and pride.

~Allister Adair~ Allister couldn't help but laugh at how happy she seemed to be. It made her look absolutely beautiful and radiant, just as he thought. Before long she was already done, although he still had some food on his plate. He watched her get up and wash her dishes, and he couldn't but admire her beauty, his eyes never leaving her. After a moment he jumped up. "Oh, I almost forgot!" He went to the oven and pulled out the Baklava, a wonderful dark golden color. He took some honey and drizzled it all over it. Then he took some finely chopped nuts and sprinkled it over it as well. He put some on a plate and handed it to Odessa. "Here you go, Milady, dessert for you." He bowed playfully before going back to the table to grab his plate. He wrapped it in plastic wrap and set it in the fridge, then continued to do the same with the other food on the table.

≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa could feel Allister's eyes on her, which made her blush a light pink in self-consciousness. As soon as he got the Baklava out of the oven, she sniffed the air slightly and smiled brightly as she admired the dessert. Her mouth was starting to water. She couldn't possibly wait to eat it up. Even though her stomach seemed full to the brim, she simply had to eat the baklava, since she hadn't been able to enjoy it in such a long time. She giggled a bit and took the plate from Allister. "Why thank you, kind sir," she replied with a curtsy before taking a small, delicate bite out of the dessert. Her eyes fluttered closed and she grinned as she enjoyed the first bite. A moan of pleasure escaped her lips after she swallowed. "¡Ay, tan delicioso!" She continued to eat it, savoring each and every bite like it was her last. She remembered baklava being extremely tasty, but she had never experienced a whole piece of it before. She had only tasted a few measly crumbs and some honey before. This was a huge improvement, and it showed. Soon after finishing it off, she washed the plate and set it down on the counter next to her other plate and her glass. "Thank you so much, Allister," she said with a smile that showed off her bright, shining pearly whites. With another playful curtsy, she walked over to the table and helped him wrap up the food and put it in the fridge.

~Allister Adair~ Allister had a childish grin spread across his face when he saw and heard her enjoying the baklava. It seemed Odessa was the only person that made him feel a little self conscious around her, and made him joyful in doing something that seemed normal to him. For instance, when he cooks. "So, you enjoyed the Baklava, right?" He knew it, but he just wanted to tease her a bit, the grin showing his intentions. He blushed lightly at her thanking him, her bright smile and curtsy so adorable. He just couldn't quite grasp the idea of what a slave was/did, so the thought of her being purposefully starved or mistreated could not be fully comprehended in his mind. "If you want more anytime you may have some. Don't be shy about browsing through everything. This is your home too, after all." He smiled and thanked her for helping him, then gave her a light hug. "Shall we go see if Mr. Tailor is done with your dress...?"
((Oops I did it again... >3< ))

≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa giggled. "Of course I did," she replied with a sheepish grin. "I've only had baklava once before in my life, and that only the leftovers stuck to the pan. Today's baklava was pure bliss." Her eyes twinkled a bit as she thought of eating more baklava, then she realized that she was full, so she dropped the thought from her mind reluctantly. "Well, I will definitely keep that in mind," she said with a smile. "And you're welcome." Blushing slightly, she hugged Allister back, wondering what it was like to be a master. He didn't seem to be the master type of guy, but whatever. She nodded at his request to visit the tailor and find her new dress. Still, she couldn't shake this idea of him being a master from her mind. "Allister, why did you choose me?" she asked curiously. "Actually, why did you decide to get a slave in the first place? You don't seem to be the 'master' type of person in my eyes. If you don't want to answer my questions, you don't need to. They were kind of nosey in any case..." Her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of rouge as she went on to walk to the tailor's room, not daring to say another word. ((It's fine! ^-^))

~Allister Adair~ Allister nodded in agreement. There weren't many who could say they didn't like Baklava, almost everyone loved it, no matter the preferences. "Oh, that's too bad. I'm sorry for how you were treated before, but I assure you no one will not treat you like that in my house." He wrapped an arm securely around Odessa's shoulders and smiled with a wink. "No, it's alright. It's something very questionable, anyone would want to know. Actually... The reason I picked you was simply because you looked like the one who needed the most help. You looked very... Well, sort of dead. Almost like you lost all hope." He shook his head and let out a sigh. "I was beginning to get lonely and slightly bored. The only other person I talk to daily is the tailor, and he is not the kind you can rely on as a friend. Don't get me wrong, he is a nice guy, but he's more of just a worker that you must talk business to, which is what he technically is. A slave, well, you must interact with them and actually get to know them. That is, only if you want to keep them forever. I plan to keep you as a friend instead of a mere toy that I think nothing of." He smiled as they entered the tailor's room. He seemed to be sewing something red. "You done yet, Mr. Tailor?" He chuckled as he looked up and nodded. "This be good for her?" The tailor retracted the needle and cut the thread before lifting up the dress.

≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa sighed and shrugged sadly. "It's fine. I have always been treated that way, be it my family or my masters." Blushing slightly as Allister wrapped his arm around her shoulders, she rested her head against his shoulder, smiling weakly back at him. She nodded as he told her his reason for choosing her. "I understand. I did lose hope. I need help. I'm malnourished and I can't survive on my own. Even if I could, I would never be free. Once a slave, always a slave until you meet a master who is willing to free his slave. That's one master that I have never had before..." Again, she started nodding slightly while he told her about his reasons for getting a slave. "Well, since I've never had a real friend before in my life, I'll gladly be your friend, Allister." Once more, she smiled at him, except this smile wasn't weak, but genuine and sweet. Then Odessa looked over at what the tailor was stitching. It was red, her favorite color. When the tailor held up her new dress, she gasped and slipped out from underneath Allister's arm and went over to feel the material. It was a nice sleek, smooth chiffon dress that slid through her fingers as she felt the cloth. "Ay, Dios mío," she whispered before looking up at the tailor and smiling brightly at him. "Thank you so much! It's beautiful!" (())

~Allister Adair~ Allister frowned as he shook his head. "It is not fine. No one should ever be treated badly, and especially not by family. That may be the most horrendous thing I have ever heard." He smiled slightly though when Odessa lay her head on his shoulder. "I would also gladly set you free if you promised to talk to me frequently. It would be heartbreaking to just let you leave and never see you again." He sighed as he shook his head in mock disappointment. "Of course, friendship was all that I wanted in the first place." He couldn't help but also smile when he saw Odessa's smile. It was just so beautiful and contagious. But soon her attention was taken away from him and to the dress instead. It was beautiful, and by the looks of it, she loved it. The tailor chuckled, along with Allister, and he took Odessa's hand. "Of course it is. It brings out your beauty the most. You shall be the most beauty of the ball tomorrow." He smiled and glanced at Allister, who was rolling his eyes.

≈≈ *Odessa Ambrosia Leos* ≈≈ Odessa shrugged again slightly. "I know that people shouldn't treat others badly, but maybe my family just found something wrong with me. I'm not sure. But I'm sorry that I have brought such a terrible thing to your attention." She started to get confused when he talked about letting her go. "Wait, what? What do you-" Then, she understood and laughed softly to herself. "I didn't mean it that way!" she exclaimed cheerfully. "What I meant was that I wouldn't be treated like a slave. I would be treated more like... a friend. Someone that you truly care about and won't abuse. I wouldn't mind the freedom to leave, but so far, I don't think I would leave. Plus, I wouldn't want to break your heart." She winked at him before taking the dress into her free hand and started twirling around with it freely. Suddenly, she paused and raised an eyebrow at the tailor. "Ball? What ball? There's a ball coming up?" Instantly, her eyes brightened and a grin spread across her face as she became more and more excited. "I've never been to a ball! I've heard all about them, but I've never actually been to one. The masters would often go to balls with their girlfriends or wives and leave me at home. Then they would come back and brag about how fun they are and how I'll never experience the fun because they are rich and important and I'm scum! Wow, spectacular..." In her own state of euphoria now, Odessa sat down on a nearby stool, still clutching the dress to her chest and staring off into the distance at nothing in particular but her own daydream. (())

~Allister Adair~ Allister sighed with relief as Odessa explained what she really meant. That made it so much easier for him. He wasn't really the one to actually make someone stay with him, even if he might act like it sometimes, but he really didn't want someone to leave when he just met them and wanted to get to know them. The wink she gave him only making him want to know her better even more, and it made him smirk. "There shall never be any abuse or bossy demands in this house. Unless it came from you...?" The last part he murmured to himself with a laugh. He watched Odessa as she danced around in the dress, a brow raised with his amusement. He slowly walked over to the tailor, making sure he didn't disrupt her dancing, then they began to whisper to each other. "Rome, you should not have brought up the ball. It was going to be a surprise. Plus it seems to make her babble on about her saddening past." The tailor chuckled and shook his head. "It slipped, Allister, I didn't mean for it. And I didn't expect this any more than you did. You must admit it is quite amusement, yes?" Allister rubbed at his chin thoughtfully as he watched her some more. "Yeah, at least she isn't depressed when she speaks about it." He cleared his throat and spoke loudly now to get her attention. "Alright, Odessa. Now that you know about it you know the reason why I am going to send you to bed early. In the morning we have lots to do for preparation. I also need to get you some reasonable shoes to go with the dress. And I want to take you to a spa as well before we go. The ball starts at 9 pm but I like to get a good start so I know I won't be late. And for your amusement, I bet some of those mean masters of yours will be there, though they are considered less important. You'll understand when we get there." He grinned as he glanced at the tailor and gave him a quick wink.
