i doubt I would look better than you do in yours dear .
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
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 ..
( she beams so brightly as he takes measures to adjust her uniform, that which she had +
now then, what sounds good ? i haven't had much opportunity to try more than a standard blend, never had good enough company to excuse bringing this out .
( as the door closed behind them, the royal went towards his closet, pulling out a rather ornate looking tea set, placing it down on the table within, pulling out a seat for his guest first before sorting himself a place to sit )
( hallways that the maid was far too familiar with, having spent many a year 'working' beneath the regime of the former king garon, held against her will as a bargaining piece against the ice tribe, those she called family. yet, since xander's ascension, relations were being →
( 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
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. +
been slacking on my duties, everything is running without the need for my input, trust me to choose competent staff...
i was merely talking with gunter about some matters within the kingdom.
( a careful hand reached out, straightening the
royal palace, meticulously upkept by the blue haired maid, something he heavily appreciated her for, stopping right outside the kings chamber, door opened for her to enter first )
after you dear .
it would be my pleasure, flora .
( and off they were, navigating through the winding hallways of castle krakenberg, torch lit and yet still dark and mysterious, remnants of the old regime lingered in the cracks of stone that made up the

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 . .
isn ' t that noble of you, you truly are model royalty
( words were failing him, looking down at the alternately dressed princess he had fought alongside for the freedom they enjoyed... it was a great look on her he
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, +
excellent.. i'm glad I was able to convince you, you deserve a break from all the taxing work, and while I don't doubt you could make something exceptional, I wouldn't want you to lift a finger,
rather just sit back and relax .
( there's a sigh, or at least, internally, as she maintains her near-neutral expression; it seemed to matter not which of the nohrian royals she dealt with, they were all as persistent as the next, a look of resignation from the maid as she nods, curtsying to xander. )

very well, see it not as compensation but as an invitation, not from your king but your friend, does that sway your decision ?
( same soft smile on his lips, he saw the look in her eye, only hoping his words were able to reach past
there's truly no need for compensation, my lord. it is merely my duty to adhere to the needs of the castle, after all.
( her smile is faint, unfamiliar with the idea of being rewarded for her hard work, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she looks to his hand. despite
