taking the teabag and placing it inside of one of the cups, while waiting for the water to boil, which was soon added to the cup, turning the contents brown. she pauses mid-action, looking around, searching. )
jakob, could you fetch the milk for me, if you'd kindly ?
jakob, i'm more than capable of making a cup of tea ! flora and i used to do so, all of the time !
( there's a playful roll of her eyes as she follows behind the dedicated butler, seemingly confident, if only externally. as much was true; corrin and her maid had prepared +
Now slow down milady, if you have been observing me closely all of these years you must show me you can do it like I can. Letโs start off with something very simple, making tea and pouring a cup of it. Come along.
[ The butler gestures for the princess to follow him. ]
[ + ]
plenty of tea in the past! whether it was healthy or edible, however, remained a different question...
still, she won't let past experiences prevent her from trying, a brief moment to inspect the ingredients in front of her before clicking her fingers and getting to work! +
i should really get back to work โ i wouldn't want to cause any inconveniences for jakob and flora by standing around idly while they get all of the work done ! but, perhaps i'll come and visit later, so that we can continue this conversation ?
mm, maybe not, but you'd be a close second place !
( she laughs cheerily, fangs on full display as the grin overtakes her face. she had such fond memories of dressing up with the other nohrians, for the rare occasion where they all gathered together. simpler times... )
well, +
haaaah... do you think so dear ? are you sure you wouldn't be the one benefitting the most from that, something you'd like to see mmm?
( he jabbed, half sarcastically, as if she would be as degenerate as himself, fantasising about them
the princess from trying her best! when he relents, her smile threatens to grow even larger, spread wide across her face. )
thank you, jakob ! i'll be sure to do my best, and to stay out of your way !
now, where to first?
as much may be true, but i've watched closely for many years ! i'm sure that i can handle some basic responsibilities, especially with your watchful eye, jakob. โจ
( how she shimmers, completely unaware of the difference between watching and actively doing, but it won't stop +
[ The butter just stared at his lord in confusion and slight disapproval of what she was wearing. Someone like her shouldnโt be wearing a simple maid outfit, even though it did look lovely on her. ]
You want to help me today? Milday, you donโt have the years of training I do.
jakob !
( such a disapproving voice, one she was far too familiar with, could only belong to one person, the nohr noble spinning to face him. in spite of his disbelief, she appears bright, smiling. )
i thought that i could help out with your duties today ! is that a problem ?
placed faith in felicia to dress her with, though the repeated bending over to address the messes on the castle floor had knocked it askew. a look of admiration for him, practically sparkling. )
or , you could always ask felicia for a maid outfit of your own ! ehe .. โจ
it sounds like everything is going well , then !
perhaps you should take it as a sign to take things easy , for once . it seems like you're always on your feet , busy with something ..

( snapping out of his trance, once again laying eyes on his sisters form, he couldn't quite extinguish the flame of hunger that had been lit inside of him, a purpose bubbling towards the surface )
ahhh... compared to you, i suppose i ' ve
but she mustn't remain distracted from her duties for too long, relaxing into a more casual posture before tilting her head. )
what about you , big brother ? what are you busy with ?
hmhm , you think so ?
( she appears pleased to hear his compliment, proudly planting clenched fists against her hips, posing in front of him. it helped that she was similar in stature to the maid sisters, or perhaps felicia had intentionally dressed her to resemble them. +
felt, eyes scanning up and down her body, admiring the frills and accessories the dress was completed by, looking almost like a third sister of flora and felicia, he chuckled )
it suits you well dear sister . .
arms behind her back. )
it's not dress up ! i overheard jakob talking about his long list of responsibilities for the day, and thought it best to help them ! i feel it's important for us to all work together, especially after everything that happened ..
oh ! big brother !
( so occupied had the newly-made-maid been with tending to shards of a broken plate, undoubtedly dropped by a certain pink-haired maid, she had not noticed the proximity of the nohrian king. corrin smiled brightly, a flash of fangs as she stepped up to him, +
( her incognito internship wouldn't go unnoticed for long, as perceptive as ever, the newest king to take nohrs throne would have recognised his dear sister anywhere, even when dressed up to match flora and felicia.. breaking away from the
( she finally re-emerges at the castle grounds, figure adorned with a plain maid uniform, that which served as one of the traditions of castle krakenburg. if she was going to lend a hand, she would dress the part. )
now, let's get stuck in !
