"Yes, it will be rather cold," Aaric said thoughtfully. "And you seem to have a cold. I hope we don't make it worse." Of course he didn't want the girl to end up sick because of their antics. Hopefully the princess have fun, even if she was coughing a little. He turned the orange around in his hands, as if he was examining it, before taking a bite. Then, he looked back up at Coralie to answer her question. "Never," Aaric answered, a sly smile suddenly crossing his face. "He's most likely trying to impress you. Either that or end up alone with you in the garden at night. I assume that it would be rather romantic." He knew that Rylan would most likely kill him afterwards, but at that moment, it was worth it. Coralie would most likely blush too. It was always fun to tease others, and it seemed that his brother might be attracted to the princess, even if she did seem rather oblivious to it.

Leaning forward to smell one of the flowers, Cassi still did not notice Damien, especially since he had decided to hide himself. It did not occur to her that he might think her odd for following or that he might become weary of her. She was merely doing what was in her nature to do and that was to make sure that nothing went wrong. There were always terrible reprecutions if they did, including some that had made her black out. Cassi shook those thoughts away and concentrated on the flowers and the pleasant scene, unaware that a dark look had passed over her face for a couple of minutes. Reaching forward to pick a flower that she had never seen before, she quickly jerkec her hand back at two quick pricks and let out a small yelp, more from surprise than from actual pain. Staring blankly at the two tiny cuts, she was once again drawn into memories of her childhood, her features once again becoming unrecognizable.
((It's a rose, incase you're wondering. She doesn't have those in her home.))
Lady Anita was disappointed when Lords Lawley and Taite left, but did not let it show on her face, though it was more out of habit than actual practice. Slowly standing and pushing her chair out, she left the room and walked back to her own classroom and room. For the most part the entire class was ready and so were her lesson plans, though she had back ups incase something happened. Lady Anita was almost alway prepared for the worst so was never really fazed when it did happen. Leaning against the window, she looked down at the garden and the four students who lingered there.
Canis remained quiet throughout the remained of the meeting, his thoughts drifting from subject to subject, unable to rest on a single topic of interest. He listened with half an ear to the conversation between Lawley and Taite and found himself wondering why the Head Mistress never requested that he take care of such matters. After all, just because he taught dance didn't mean that he wasn't a man as well.

[[Sorry Canis. It's because Lawley could kill it or take it away easily, and Taite is a charmer.]]
Rylan was about to comment about Coralie's cold as well, before Aaric teased him. He was so dead. "Nothing you could say could offend me. I only get offended by things that make sense," he replied in a nonchalant tone. He stood up. "Well, I'm going to head up and put my bags away. Coralie, would you like some help with yours before I leave?"

Aaric smiled again. One of Rylan's pathetic comebacks. He was really in for it this time, he thought, with little regret. Best to avoid any time spent with him alone though. Or at least as much as possible. "Yes, would you like us to carry your bags to your room for you? It's a long walk up the stairs, I would guess. It's on what, the fourth floor?" he asked, looking out the doors, as if he could see the stairs, which he obviously couldn't from the angle he was in. Aaric popped the last slice of his orange into his mouth and stood up from the table, pushing in his chair. With that, he picked his bags up from the floor and hovered above Coralie's book bag again. He didn't want to take it without permission.

Coralie's jaw dropped as Aaric spoke. She quickly closed it again as a bright, tomato-red blush crept up from the nape of her neck and spread furiously over her face. At a loss for words and not knowing how to react, she glanced away from the twins and tried her hardest to will the blush away. It took everything she had to restrain herself from clapping her hands over her burning cheeks.
Her inner voice howled with laughter at her embarrassment and she sent a miserable glare at it. Not that Aaric's comment had really bothered her - it made her uncomfortable, but she knew she'd be grinning like an idiot later in the day. In fact, she was beginning to feel the smile right now. Her inner voice laughed even harder - if that was possible - and she groaned inwardly, already feeling like a fool.
It was a relief when the brothers stood, and she allowed herself a smile. "If it's not too much trouble," she told them gratefully as she rose from her seat as well. It was hard to look either of them in the eye, as her bright blush was still painted over her cheeks. "I'll have to repay you two somehow." She tried not to avoid their gazes too much, but her seemingly everlasting blush made her too shy to make eye contact. Not for the first time, she cursed her vulnerability to teasing and jokes.

Aaric resisted laughter as Coralie turned back towards them, her cheeks a bright pink, almost red. No doubt they had been even darker before. "Don't mention it. Being able to tease you and Rylan is worth it," he said, piling on more to the pain that he would get when Rylan and he were together later. Her silence during their banter made him curious though... Aaric figured that she was, in a way, glad for the teasing. At least he had made his brother's feelings more obvious to her, he decided. Even if they weren't quite so strong. He picked up her bag full of books, adding to the weight that he was already carrying. "You can carry her clothes," he said to Rylan, nodding at the suitcase next to her feet.

Lukas returned the nod to the boy who had passed him through the gazebo and continued his way to look around the flowerbeds. He noticed that others beside the first boy who he remembered recalling his name was Damien, was also out here. He walked along the small path of the flowerbeds when he came to a sudden halt. He noticed the girl who was staring at him from before in the dining room was out here as well. It seemed that she was busy talking to one of the teachers. Lukas, being the usual cold, narrow-minded, quiet boy continued his way down the path, observing some plants that he had recognize through his studies. He then settled himself down at a nearby tree and glanced around its surround before closing his eyes and drifting off to a light sleep.
--
Aurora heard knocking at the door as she quickly sat up. She glanced over at Webster and back at the door. She was being indecisive at the time being, whether if she should open the door or not. 'It's probably the teachers...' she thought. Taking her time to ponder, she heard the knock again. "We have to face them later anyways..." she said to Webster, "Might as well get over with it..."
She quickly stood up and paced herself to the door, hoping the teacher(s) who were there to discuss the matter wouldn't be mad at her because of the small wait. She opened up the door and found Lord Taite and Lord Lawley standing before. Remembering her manners, she gave them a slight curtsey before taking a couple steps back to let the two lords enter into the room. Webster had jumped down the bed and crawled over to where Aurora was to stand before her and the teachers.

"Probably," Grace answered, jumping onto her bed and landing on her stomach in a very un-princesslike fashion. "Hm... bouncy!" she proclaimed. After making sure her sheets were no longer perfectly pressed, she put her things away and glanced out the window. "Wow. It's a really nice day outside. Do you think the staff will allow us to eat lunch out there? A picnic sounds fun." Her blue eyes were all lit up at the idea. "Though that won't be for a while."
Rylan's eyebrow twitched slightly at Aaric's further teasing, a sure sign of restrained anger. "It's no trouble Coralie, don't mention it," he said with a reassuring smile. He hoisted her clothes onto his shoulder, and carried his own bags with his remaining hand. The weight made him teeter slightly as it was unbalanced, but he regained his confidence, and they headed upstairs toward the girls' dorms.
Lord Taite gave a smile and a bow at Princess Aurora's curtsy. "Hello, we've come to discuss the arrangements regarding your erm... friend. Where is he by the way?" he asked politely, noticing the spider was no longer in her arms. It was then that he noticed the enlarged arachnid was standing between him and the girl. He sprang back with a terrified shout, heedless of the fact that Lord Lawley was standing behind him.

"That's good to hear. And sadly, I do not know the time. I am not one to watch petty things like that." Lady Maybelline smiled at the princess, her eyes gentle, her smile kind. The Lady nodded once more at Bella before continuing on her way back to the main building. She walked through the Entrance Hall and Parlor, her heels clicking on the West Stairs. The door to her room was dead ahead, and it clicked closed behind her.

"That would be fun," Amira agreed. "Wouldn't it be strange to see Lady Florizel sitting on the grass?" She looked over Grace's shoulder into the garden, and spotted three or four students among the flowers. "It would be great right by that flowerbed," she commented, before turning back to her bed and unpacking her things. Amira slid her bags under her four-poster bed, where they would most likely remain for the rest of the year, until she had to pack up and go home. She was already dreading it. The academy was so much fun already. As soon as she finished, she joined Grace by the window. "I wonder if lunch will be as delicious as dinner," Amira said thoughtfully, as she watched one of the princesses reach out for a flower before drawing back. She wondered with concern if she had been pricked by a rose, but when the princess reached out again, she figured that she was fine.
Aaric stomached another laugh as Rylan nearly toppled over from the weight of the bags. Being polite was such hard work. "Heavy lifting certainly isn't for him," he commented to Coralie, before following his brother out of the dining hall. The twitch of Rylan's eyebrow had unnerved him a little. Of course, Rylan could never beat him in a fight, but their arguments never came to that. Aaric was positive that he would be chewed out after this though. Walking up the stairs, he turned around to Coralie. As he came upon the hallway, he saw that teachers were in the room. "Hm," he said, watching as they entered slowly. He backed them into the hallway. "Maybe we should head to Forest or Lake. Your roommate seems to be speaking to some teachers," he said, looking around the corner, then turning back again.
"Argh!" Lawley exclaimed as Lord Taite jumped back onto him. He was just entering the room, prepared to talk to the student, and this happened. Not to mention Taite's scream, which he would most likely laugh at later. Stepping back and letting Taite stumble back farther, he realized the cause of his anguish. The spider was perched on the ground. The visit had started off well enough, but Taite had quickly ended that. Ah, the always reliable Lord Taite, Lawley thought sarcastically.

"Aaric!" she protested as he continued to tease. Her inner voice snickered again and she restrained herself from hitting her head to stop it.
She followed the boys up to the girl's dorms and looked around when they reached the floor. She blinked when she saw two teachers - Lords Lawley and Taite - standing in front of her room. The door was open.
"Okay," she said to Aaric, turning back as well.
Suddenly, one of the teachers let out a terrified cry. She jumped, looking wildly in his general direction for the source of the fear. She saw nothing, however, and slowly her heart calmed down. "I wonder what that was," she mumbled nervously.

"Alright, thank you" Bella said sweetly as the lady walked away. Soon, Bella's eyes caught sight of the same guy before in the dining room. She saw that when she was talking to the teacher, he looked at her, but he seems cold as he walked away. Bella sighed as she looked down at her flower crown she made. She smiled happily as she stood up from the grass, not bothering with brushing off her gown since she was still going to be outside. She saw that the prince had gone off to a tree and rested there. 'Should I or not...' She thought as she headed towards the way of the tree where the prince was.
She quietly took silent steps. The closer she got, the more nervous she was, but she was so entranced by the prince, there was something about him that draws her to him. As she was next to the tree she looked at the prince, but then a sound distracted her to look up. It was doves on the branches in a bird's nest. Doves were her favorite kind of birds. She then decided to climb to get a closer look. Still trying to be quiet, she soundlessly as possible, started climbing the tree, her flower crown on her head so her hands were free. It took some time, but she finally sat on a strong branch of the tree as she was close to the nest. She smiled softly at the doves, but soon, one of them started to fly away out the tree in Bella's way, surprising her in the process and causing her to lose her balance.
Bella fell backwards as her flower crown fell off her blond hair and she fell off too. "Kya!" She screamed as she suddenly landed on the prince with the violet hair. She saw that the flower of crown she made had landed on his head. She quickly got off of the prince in a hurry. "I...I am so sorry!" She tried to apologize quickly as she lowered her head and blushed in embarrassment. 'I am so stupid...just to see doves!'

Damien had closed his eyes and relaxed, taking in the smells and sounds of nature. He fit in perfectly with the shadows, almost camouflaging, as he listened to the birds and the rustles of leaves.
The near-silence was broken with a yelp, causing him to slowly open his lazy eyelids. It seemed to have come from Cassi, and he debated silently with himself for a few moments before emerging from the shade of the apple tree. The sunlight struck his dark eyes and he shielded them with a hand.
With languid steps he walked to the flowers, making a face at their strong perfume. He had never cared much for flowers, no matter how beautiful.
"Hey," he called quietly once he was within earshot of the girl. "What - " The black-haired boy stopped and looked at her fingers. "Oh. Rose thorn? It's okay, they'll be fine in a minute." He spoke monotonously and with an expressionless face, and didn't seem to be too worried about her.

Lukas eyes shot opened at the screamed as he looked up to find a girl landing right into his lap. He blinked a couple of times, trying to adjust to what had just happened. When the girl got off of him, he noticed it was the princess from before. She had apologized to him as Lukas looked at his clothes, brushing off the twigs that had fallen from the tree. "Well that was sure a great entrance..." he muttered as his amber eyes looked up at the girl. He gave a small sigh as he pulled away a strand of his violet hair from his face. "I can't find some decent quiet time around here..." he continued speaking as he took off the flowery crown from the top of his head. He looked up at the princess again, seeing that she was slightly blushing. He leaned forward and gently put the crown back onto her blond head before sitting back against the tree. "Come here to stalk me or something?" he asked her in a low tone. He had no experience on how to talk to a girl, even though his mother had tried to teach him multiple of times.
--
Aurora was surprised at Lord Taite's scream. For a man to scream at such sight of a spider, Aurora could've laugh right there and then. But then again, she held it and picked up Webster into her arms. "I apologize for that," Aurora said with a apologetic smile, "Webster sometimes forgets that people see him as a spider..." She paused for a bit about mentioning that part about Webster. Shoot. "Uh..." she began to say as she looked at both of the teachers, "Anyways...Lord Taite...Lord Lawley...is there anyway I can keep him here, with me....please?"

Grace laughed. "Yeah, I doubt that. She'll probably take a parasol, handkerchief, and a giant blanket with her to prevent her from getting dirty or something. I bet that lunch is totally as good as breakfast, and dinner is probably even better. I wonder if they serve dessert?" she wondered aloud. "Well, let's go do something. It's boring up here. My eyes hurt from all of the lavender." Obviously she had no idea about the commotion going on in the Rose room.
After Aurora let the information slip, Lord Taite blinked. "You mean, it's not really a spider? What is it? Is it enchanted or something?" Still, just in case it was poisonous, he stood slightly behind Lord Lawley. "Perhaps allowances can be made for that if your roommate isn't bothered by the presence of... Webster?" he questioned.
Rylan frowned at his brother, then turned when he heard Coralie. "No idea," he said honestly. "So, the boys floor is one floor up." They headed up the stairs. "Whose room should we visit first?" he asked. Secretly he hoped it was his own - the bags were really beginning to tire him after four flights of stairs.
