Odelina's reaction didn't went unnoticed and Averill took it somwhat personal, as one does when they cant read to overall mood of the previous conversation. " Is there somthing funny in what i said ?"

( Not alot have happen so far and nothing that realy justify a full on recap, just make your starting post if you hadn't already and you should get in / back it relatively easilly ^-^)

Ahelissa blew out a grateful sigh and made her way over to the bathroom. Remilia seemed a little.... off this morning. What could be bothering her? Ahelissa searched her mind and slapped her palm against her forhead when she remembered. Of course! The ball! She had never even seen a ball before, much less participated in one. Personally, she would rather scrub the grand hall than attend a ball, from what she had heard of it, with the dancing and formality and so. Many. People. She filled up the bathtub with hot water and as she turned, she caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror. Oh. Wow. She quickly tried to comb her bright red hair down with her fingers and smooth her clothes, but they refused to cooperate, so she gave up and searched for some towels and soap. She knew for a fact that the castle-folk did NOT need that many towels. Once she had gathered everything, Ahelissa returned to Remilia, now self-conscious of her hair and clothes. "It's ready," Ahelissa absentmindedly fidgeted with her collar. "Ma'am." Ahelissa inwardly winced at the last part. The title sounded so unwieldy and clumsy, especially if she was talking to someone who was only 4 years older than herself, even if Remilia was the duchess.

"I know she will, Amias.", He replied sternly. "I know it, I could feel it in her heart." He looked ahead again, mouth shut. He was just so excited about being freed from the castle. It's been about a decade since he's seen his parents, oh, how he missed them. Riften sighed, he didn't want to think about it.

Lidia elbowed her friend gently. "Bother, shush, I find you quite amusing myself.", She chuckled. "Anyway, tonight we are doing anything but getting married. "Why don't you find Dorian and bug him, we still have some things to do to get ready.", Lidia responded, standing up straight, trying to look taller than her 5"3' self.

I realized the time and ran back into the castle. I would be in trouble if I didnt get back soon. I ran straight into someone. "Sorry!" I said surprised. I hadn't seen them. I grabbed their hand to help them up before realizing it was Prince dorian. I dropped his hand causing him to fall on the floor. "Sorry!" I yelped. I was in SO much trouble now.

He could only smile at her cute attempt to seem biger then she realy was. " Fine, fine little sister, you know i don't bite that mutch, no nead to wory, i'll let the two of you working on whatever you were doing. Don't expect me not to come back later however."

He was in the middle of commenting on the hideous color of a guest's dress when he suddenly staggered forward before being thrown to the ground. Shocked he pushed himself up and back onto his feet. "What the heck was that?!" He snapped turning to find slave. Cocking an eyebrow he reached over and picked up the tag hanging about the boy's neck. "What are you doing here? Away from your master?" Dorian questioned harshly. Dexion even flinched at the tone cowarding away some.

"I'm sorry" I said staring at my feet. I was afraid he was going to tell my master. "I was getting some scones." I mumbled kind of showing him the scones. I made sure they were close to me so he wouldn't steal them.

"Without your master?" He question skeptically. "Why would they wish you to go alone and risk you running off?"
