Remilia gave a small sigh as she watched Ahelissa, pinching the bridge of her nose slightly.
"I'll give you an E for effort." She mumbled before glancing back at Averill.
"I've always wanted a sibling to look after, you're a lucky man. Excuse Ahelissa, she can be a klutz." She gave a gesture at her, but her tone wasn't exactly mean, it was more of a light tone. "Hopefully she can put that to use at the ball and scare away my suitors." She gave a subtle wink at her before going back to her prim and proper attitude.

"Eh, but the dullest rock can have the most beautiful crystal inside. You seemed quite dull when I met you, but look at you now.", Lidia complimented.
She squinted at her, poking her more. "You're a bad liar, you just told me not to be nervous.", She pointed out with a giggle. "But it's fine, seeing you're flustered is kinda cute. Tell me why though, I won't judge." Lidia had a good guess for the answer but she wanted her guess to be supported.

Nicote yawned and slouched out the door and to whee he was supposed to be. Ema followed him.

You idiot! You've been lying about being a boy for months now, and you can't even make up a simple lie about why you're blushing so badly?? Emrys though with flustered panic, putting her face into her hands with defeat.
"Y-You're just, I-I'm just embarrassed because-" She gave another muffled squeak, and finally looked up at Lidia. "Y-You're just making me nervous. That's all." She finally snapped. "You're such a bullyyy Lidia!!" She whined rather childishly.

Odelina stumbled off to wait for Lidia by the ballroom. She was rather confused about what was going on. While she waited, she fawned over the pretty dresses and lovely suits.

Lidia rubbed her back reassuringly. "I don't mean to be rude, but I've never had royalty blush at me before.", She murmured with a chuckle. She felt a little bad for making her feel upset. "If you don't mind if I ask, what am I flustering you about, so I can stop?", Lidia poked one more time, this time, her voice soft like a concerned mother's.

He nod at her smilling more naturaly by now, at least until the bell rang and he had to go deal with the guests. With a sigh he stand up and start heading toward the door. " This was nice to speak with you but infortunately, i must make myselg the metaphorical embodiment of an icicle and make myself visible as the eldest child of the throne now."

Emrys grumbled something quietly to herself before she finally recomposes herself, clearing her throat as she looked to Lidia.
"It's really just me getting inside my own head, I'm quite alright. I just like to be a child sometimes." She gave a small laugh, her cheeks still just a little rosy. "I was just flustered because of how pretty you are, it throws anyone off balance really." She replied, trying to stop the smile that curved up her cheek after saying that.

Nicote was.......basically trying not to explode with annoyance. So far hed had to ward off three giggly lady's in waitings, deal with two lords who thought Ema was a mere castle servant , and now had a headsche.


(Hey lum...wanna use Ema and her dancing as distractions? Xd
