The Midnight Prince

[GamesMaster]

"No, not at all -- we can take you to him if you like."

"IF your intentions are good," grows Tsuki.

"Leave off, please," says Seiya, cheerily. 

[Rokag]

"Right now, my intention is to figure out what HIS intention is. And I'd rather ask what he thinks than just assume what he wants." Rokag gave a nod, taking one of the brownies from the parcel. "And...thank you."

[GamesMaster]

"He's in his room, just across the hall -- they moved you here so you'd be close," says Seiya. "We're just down the hall, so you know. If you need anything."

[Rokag]

"Oh...uh...huh." Rokag tried the brownie, blinked and took another bite. "Wow, this is really good!" She was really surprised that it was alright and also taste like poison.

[GamesMaster]

Seiya smiles. "I like baking," she admits. "I know it's not really a proper activity for a noble lady like me, but, well... I like it. Getting to make something people enjoy."

[Rokag]

Well, it's not like I'm a noble lady... Shit, WAS she a noble lady? Probably not till the marriage and - "Right. So baking is good and I guess you're good at it since usually I just...got rice cakes during festivals and such."

[GamesMaster]

"I can teach you a little, if you want." She smiles, tucking some hair behind her ear.

[Rokag]

"I mean...sure, I guess." Rokag was pretty sure it couldn't be THAT hard. She'd cooked before...it had been over a fire and the fish had made her sick the first two times, but still! "I guess if you ever wanted to learn how to fish I could do that, too."

[GamesMaster]

"Sure," she chirps. "Sounds great."

"If we're done making friends..." begins Tsukikage.

"Never. But we can go now. I'll let you go talk to Shisou." Seiya smiles, tugging Tsuki toward the door. 

[Rokag]

"Alright....and thank you for the brownies." She wondered if Seiya knew how to swim. You kinda needed that to fish properly and she couldn't imagine the family going to swim somewhere. Later. Right now you need to talk to Shisou and find out if you're going to need to avoid him as well till you have a plan. Once they'd left, she made sure that she was properly dressed (mostly because she wasn't sure if there were people out there that would send her back to do it properly like with the menagerie) and made her way to the indicated room for Shisou. Lacking anything else she would know, she would try to knock.
 

[Shisou]

Shisou jumps at the sound, leaving off pacing at once. Indou. He worries his lower lip, straightening, and heads for the door -- remembering to let his lip go as he opens it. 

"Oh! Uh. H-h-hi," he stammers, blushing faintly. "C-come in."

[Rokag]

She gave a pretty good bow before making her way inside. He sounds nervous...maybe? The stuttering they mentioned, so it's probably something he did for a while. "Hello. Are you well?"

[Shisou]

"Y-y-es," he stammers, shutting the door behind her. "Are y-you w-w-well? Th-they didn't h-hurt you?"

[Rokag]

Rokag took a deep breath once the door was closed. "No, tho I think a couple of them gave me a dirty look at not knowing what I was doing with all those damned clothes." She turns, taking a moment to steady herself and not be too forceful with this. "Okay, so first thing, did you know all THAT was going to happen? Because I'd have to be surprised if any of this was something you could have predicted."

[Shisou]

He shakes his head. "N-n-n-o, I s-swear. A-are you alright? D-d-did-- you s-saved my l-life, my f-f-family. I o-owe you. If y-you d-d-don't w-want to d-d-do this..."
