Chii
Chii couldn't help but look a bit sad, as Wynter said she wanted to get things herself. Everything the wintery girl said reminded her a lot of someone--the previous slave that Wynter had in fact replaced. That other slave, that Jun threw away, had been like her sister... She was trying not to be too upset over Master replacing her, but it was hard to ignore. And now Wynter was so much similar... in terms of ideals, and attitude. Especially attitude about slavery... The previous pet had convinced Chii of that other view--the one where all of these guys here were assholes and they should all be free. She could appreciate that side... she really could... but she also could not deny the fact that this place was good for her. She wasn't smart enough to fend for herself on the streets... she was weak. She was too scared to think for herself, let alone go out and be on her own. The chimera girl was extremely co-dependent. There was zero chance of her surviving the street.
Chii straightened her bunny ears attentively as Wynter piped up again. "O-Oh! Umn! Yes! Th-that's all, really... to see... but now I have to try to tell you all the rules here..." She walked to the professionally dressed bed and sat down on it.
"Rule number one... is..." She fidgeted a bit. "Don't try to run away... n-no leaving this wing without Master's permission...even to go outs-side...." Chii began with that rule first and foremost, because the last slave had done that and paid for it. Dearly. "Otherwise... b-bad stuff happens... and punishment is... h-horrible..."
"Next is the one I m-mentioned before... no pants... we're required to wear skirts and dresses only... We also have to make sure we dress well, our outfits h-have to always be clean and ironed, and bows tied evenly, buttons done straight, stockings even, shoes polished... th-things like that... even in our maid uniforms... Our hair has to be clean and brushed... We aren't allowed to look like slobs, even in pajamas... We are required to wear our collars at all times, unless Master says we can take them off.... especially if we go outside with him..." Chii was looking at Wynter nervously because she knew the girl was not going to like all of these rules, if she had anything in common with the previous slave....

☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter really hated herself when she saw Chii suddenly just look... sad. It bothered her severely, as she didn't like apologizing or feeling bad for anyone, or really admitting her attitude was uncalled for pretty much all the time. Luckily, the bunny girl seemed to get right on talking again. Which, as mildly annoyed as she was to be told rules... Preferred it over seeing her sad face.
The girl would glance around the room, trying to at least get familiar with it if it was going to be a bit before she could make an escape attempt. She would direct her attention back to whatever silly rules she was going supposed to abide by. Well, that limited her options if leaving the wing was a big no-no.
When Chii started explaining the dressing and keeping a clean appearance... She looked silently pissed all over again. This time it was a combo of her hating the idea of looking like a doll, but... also having no ******** idea how to even dress like that. That kind of stuff was never expected of her, ever.
"What, all the time-?" Wynter was going to lose her mind here, she just knew it. Especially being cooped up in here all the time if apparently going outside was such a punishable offence. "I... would seriously rather go back to the cells... Than trip over myself trying to look like something I'm not."

Chii
Chii nodded her head several times.
"Y-Yes... all the time... Master gets very angry if even one of us looks messy... or un-feminine... we also have to wear heels m-more often than not... he doesn't like us wearing flats, most of the time..."
She lifted her hand up and tucked some of her dusty pink hair out of her face.
"I-I can understand that..." Especially because her 'sister slave' before Wynter had the same thought. "B-But I can say that you do get used to it... the heels is the hardest part... I still trip sometimes..."
"The other things we have to do are chores, like laundry and cleaning... s-sometimes Master will give us time off, especially when he has important business to attend to... But wh-when he's here we have to make sure we serve meals on t-time.... If food is late he gets really angry... Do you know how to cook, or bake...?"

☠『Wynter』☠ How in the actual <********> am I supposed to walk around in HEELS-?
Wynter was simply at a loss, there was no way she was going to, one, look pristine 24/7. Two, follow the silly a** rules set out for her. Three, not only do chores and cook in general, but wear heels as she did so. It unnerved her she was going to ******** up at all of this regardless but... maybe if she was incompetent he would just trade her in-? Now that was just wishful thinking.
"...No. Not that or cleaning, or wearing heels, or all of the dressy bullshit..." Wynter would mutter in response, quietly pinching the bridge of her nose as she scowled at the floor. Playing along was a god awful idea if she couldn't even actually do anything asked of her.

Chii
"Th-That's okay-!"
Chii squeaked out, worried that she might have been discouraging the poor girl.
"I can t-teach you." Of course she was being derpy, because Wynter was in fact getting pissed off and irritated. Not discouraging her in a worried sense, but in a '******** this' sense.
"As I said, the h-hardest part is the heels... The rest is pretty easy... Cleaning isn't everything... What kind of stuff are you good at?"

☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter was about ready to go ahead and try to storm out of the wing just to spare herself whatever... this was going to be. Cleaning was so ******** irritating to her, her father being a nasty slob and she spent the majority of her childhood uselessly attempting to clean things to stay under his good graces.
The question about what kinds of things she was good at almost made her laugh out of pure irritation. She would look up and just.... stare for a long moment before rolling her eyes.
"Stealing. Bullshitting. Telling off people. Not dying in the streets. Oh wait, those skills are totally ******** useless here huh?" Wynter would reply rather sarcastically, throwing her hands up slightly. "I've cleaned, sure, but it was half assed and just to keep from getting thrown out."

Demitrious Varibon Reseria
"Well of course it's going to be white haha... I was mainly asking about the accents.... right..."
Mentally saying to himself: "I totally forgot! I will just swing with the punches and just get her to melt into my hand."
Scratching the back of his head, Demitrious laughs nervously as he second guesses the entire plan of showing her the bright red dresses. Of course it's a wedding and of course it's going to be white. How stupid can he be? No.... it's not stupidity, it's advance ideals about how weddings should be. Why does it have to be white? That's just silly.
The prince peeps out the window to talk to the carriage driver.
"Please change our destination back to the castle. I want to observe my brother and his training. I want to see what he is up to today. I am very concerned for his health..... "
Almost gagging at saying that, he forces a smile and looks to Kisa trying to show how much he "cares"
"I am sure you are going to be glad to see his training yes?"

KisaThe Beacon of Light
Kisa didn't really notice Demitrious' obliviousness over the wedding dress concept, since she was more focused on trying not to call attention to herself. After he practically lectured her, she was going to have to be even more careful of upsetting him now.
I want to be a good wife... but how am I supposed to... endure... his horrible fetishes...? I'm honestly terrified for our wedding night... She thought, almost sweating in dread over the concept. She had only spent a few nights with him thus far, and she was pretty damn sure that Demitrious was far more perverted than the average male. And she was as clean as freshly fallen snow... growing up in a church, she had absolutely no desire for sexual things. So just being thrown into all of this sexual content so suddenly was enough to drive the poor elf girl insane. Trying not to anger him was hard enough out in public like this... let alone all of the stuff he told her in private.
What... What am I going to do.... Moon, please help me... She felt positively miserable I feel as though I'm doomed to fail.... Kisa was trying really hard. She honestly was. But he was so sinful it made her skin crawl. But his little speech might have meant there was something redeemable in him... and hearing him seem to worry about Thorival's well being might have been another sign.... As much as he terrifies me... surely there's virtuous qualities about him... maybe there's hope for him...
"Yes... I enjoy knight training, even if I'm not really fit for it... but... umn... why are you very concerned for his health, did something happen...?" Kisa asked worriedly.
_______
Chii tilted her head at Wynter, her bunny ears tilted in her direction. Did she say something wrong? The other slave seemed to be pretty miffed about something.
She blinked a few times, kind of surprised. Her life was so similar to her last sister-slave... It was so strange to her because the concept was so new to her, yet the last two slaves she had known both coincidentally were.... not girly. Like at all. It didn't really occur to her that being masculine was even remotely normal as a female. Her entire life she had it drilled into her head that she must be feminine on every level. Even more so here in the castle. She had always been made to wear dresses, cook, clean, and the like. So anything else was foreign to her. It never even crossed her mind to choose anything else, because she thrived in her femininity.
"O-Oh, I'm sorry-! I didn't mean to upset you!" Chii squeaked out, seeing how irritated Wynter was getting.
"Aa... umn...!" The bunny stammered out, trying to think of how to response without upsetting her more. "W-Well, they're not totally useless-! But at least now you don't have to do them anymore, or live on the street, or go without food or water, right...? Isn't cleaning and cooking easier and less stressful?" She asked, honestly thinking maybe Wynter could see the positive side. "Isn't it h-hard to survive on the street, all alone?"

☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter went back to silently staring at Chii, watching the poor girl fumble and try to find some way to make this whole thing seem... somehow better. It irritated the hell out of her to even consider looking at this s**t situation optimistically. It really sucked to learn that getting her hopes up would just lead to it all crashing down ten times harder.
Her eyes narrowed more when the bunny girl started listing off some things on the better side of being here. Definitely not looking any less agitated. Part of her could kinda see the appeal that others might have to this, but definitely not what she saw as a win.
".....Sure. It's hard, but I'd rather just suffer on my own terms if that's what it comes to. I don't need anyone out there, and I never will. Have you seriously been in this system so long you don't even consider how ******** this all is?" Wynter would bite the inside of her cheek slightly, feeling like this would keep going around in circles. "I... seriously can't stand having my free will taken away like you happen to tolerate."

Chii
Chii shifted her weight back and forth nervously, quickly realizing there was no changing Wynter's mind on her perspective when it came to this scenario. The last girl had been this way, too.
The bunny's eyes started to water a bit, and it took her a moment to realize she was about to start crying.
"I-I'm sorry, Miss Wynter... i-it's just..." She paused, looking down to the floor sadly. "Y-You're replacing a slave Master just sold off... she was like my sister... and... sh-she was a lot like you... she preferred the streets... she fought against... this place... Master... all of this... And Master always punished her... she was always being beaten... she was so angry, and m-miserable... I couldn't stand seeing her get hurt all of the t-time..."
Chii's eyes flicked back up, to Wynter's. "I-I don't want the same thing to happen to you..."

☠『Wynter』☠ The wintry girl would feel a sudden stab of guilt as she watched Chii's eyes water up, recoiling a bit. She was totally unsure what to do, apologize? Attempt to make her feel better? Neither of those things she considered herself skilled at...
At her explanation, she would grimace. Is that why she was trying so hard to get her to look at things differently? Her hostile posture and attitude would quickly turn awkward and uncomfortable. She would give the bunny girl a confused look, wondering why she... cared at all. Her gaze would meet hers for just a few moments, then shift away guiltily.
"Look, Chii..." Wynter would sigh and run a hand through her hair with a sharp sigh. "I've been under everyone my whole life. So... Having what little I do have taken pisses me off... So I'm not just going to roll over and put up with it. If I get hurt, that's on me. It doesn't matter. So take that weight off your shoulders before it hurts you.." She would pause, frowning harder. "Again, apparently."

Demitrious Varibon Reseria
Giving her the most insincere smile that could possibly exist, the prince pats her hand with approval.
"I am sure he is going to be very happy to see that you are watching him. He apparently doesn't have much friends at all. It's quite sad to be honest."
Sitting back in the carriage after saying that, he pulls out a bottle of wine that was in a case under the seat and gets a wine glass out of the very same case, and pours himself a glass and sips it. Relishing the flavor, he looks up to the ceiling of the cab and shudders in delight.
'Ah.... I enjoy a very...very fine wine. One that is aged to perfection. One that has had the most time and effort in making sure the aging is just right for the most optimal flavor...."
Grinning, thinking about how he is making the similarities of aging wine being similar to aging the amount of pain he is about to inflict to his brothers heart, the idea of being able to watch it wittle his spirit down piece by piece. Demitrious licks his lips when he imagines how the explosion and snapping of Thorival's mind is giving him a joy that cannot be compared to anything.
"I hope you like what you see Thorival.... I really hope you do..... You are my brother after all...."

KisaThe Beacon of Light
"O-Oh...."
Kisa said quietly, nervously tucking some of her pastel hair behind her pointed elf ear.
It was a shame if Thorival-senpai didn't have many friends... but why was Demitrious pointing that out, at a time like this? She didn't get very brotherly vibes from him... her gut told her he probably just wanted to say more mean things to him, like at the dinner back in Aquaria... But she didn't want to think more ill of her future husband. Hopefully they would work things out and be kind to each other...
Chii let out a soft whimper, feeling terrible. Why were that girl, and Wynter, like this..? It pained her to even think... She couldn't imagine being willing to endure so much pain just to stick-it-to-the-man... They had almost nothing on the street... Why was it so worth it to them to 'fight for what they had'? Her brain would probably never be able to comprehend it... She wasn't stubborn at all, let alone if pain was involved... But the chimera girl was kind of a cry baby. She couldn't handle even a mean look, let alone someone beating her.
She didn't mean to compare the two so much together, but she grew up in slavery... so most of the slaves she had met were somewhere in between Wynter and Chii, which usually involved just grumbling and doing their job so they could live in peace, while still hating those in charge. The other slave, and now this one, were so..... hell bent on fighting. It was very rare to run into female slaves like this... usually one good beating broke them in for good. It was strange to meet two in a row like this...
"I-I'll... try..." She replied softly, giving a half-hearted smile that just seemed to scream 'I can't help but worry about it anyway!'.
"Well... umn... M-Master will probably be back soon... when he's not here, and the chores are done, we get to have free time... do... do you have any... hobbies? B-Besides what you already said, I mean..."

☠『Wynter』☠ Something would suddenly dawn on Wynter, both with Chii's explanation of her being replaced, and how similar her and that girl were. In the cells, when Jun came down... She remembered a girl with him that looked beaten to hell and back. What stuck out then was the broken thing still had the guts to spit at him, even after he threw her in a cell. So that must have been who the bunny girl was talking about. Wynter could take a few hits but... She wasn't sure if she could have her entire body broken and even have the will to do anything. Being broken that bad was... terrifying. Especially to Wynter. Anything could happen to a broken girl, and what could they do? Nothing.
The wintry girl forced herself to swallow and think about something else, face paler than before as she looked back to Chii's little smile. It... was painstakingly obvious her "try" wouldn't really do much.
Her wandering gaze would go back to Chii as she spoke about Jun coming back soon, internally wincing at the idea of having to deal with that again. The other girl's question about hobbies made her frown and try to think of something that didn't involve self defense or thieving...
"...Reading's actually okay. If that counts as a... hobby." Wynter didn't really share the fact she liked or even could read, but it was all she could come up with. Not that she really read anything nowadays, but she did a lot of it when she was younger after she was taught by a friend. School wasn't ever an option for her, so she had to deal with the frustration of asking someone to freely teach her.

Chii
Chii's eyes widened a tiny bit, as excitement lit up across her face.
"Whaaaaaa-!? You can read?! Just like Onee-chan!" Her bunny tail was wiggling behind her, making her skirt flip back and forth behind her. "You guys are so lucky... I can't read very good, and only write a little bit..."
"There's some books here, but most of them are really hard to read..." The chimera clapped her hands together three times, the slapping sound completely non-existent because of her maid gloves. "Master says it's okay if we read and write! A lot of my old masters and mistresses didn't allow slaves to at all, or you got in big trouble. So I only just started! What kinds of books do you read? I really like the ones that have pictures in them, especially if they're about animals."
(( Not cringey at all, Chii sweatdrop LOL ))
