It's a Strange World, After All - A mythical role play

[Bantambird]

Emily started coming out to clear off spent dishes in order to make room for further courses. Then she started helping to bring out the deserts. In bringing out one of the pies, however, she happened to stumble over a crevasse in the stone floor, flinging the pie as she caught herself, ending up covered in custard. As she picked herself up, she couldn't help but start to cry, although she did not wail. She gathered the broken pie plate and as much of the ruined pie as she could in her apron, turning to go back to the kitchen while silent sobs shook her.

SIno smiled cordially. He knew now her family was gone, and as it seemed they both were to spend their days together in the dungeon, even though she would be outside, he decided it was in his interest to court her.

Angela smiled at him then was distracted by the child tripping nearby. She glanced back to Sino then after the girl as she quickly left the room. Poor child. She glanced to Sino again then excused herself and followed the girl to make sure she was alright.

Reptar finished getting his plate with beef and vegetables. He set it down and looked to Lyra. "Perhaps the fault is not with you, but me. I'm sorry, I've upset you, Lyra. I've been on edge of late." He replied honestly. He glanced out over the table and sighed softly.
~~
"No, not at all. Is more of a fear of saying something wrong. With the written word, you have plenty of time to ponder your next words. If that makes sense. That and your beauty is very breathtaking, when you add to that your sharp intellect, I find you astounding. Here I am, I'm probably rambling on, when I should have held my tongue. " Aiveron replied softly with a flush. He looked to Aisling shyly, before he played with the napkin on his lap.

Lyra reached over to touch his hand gently "Reptar, it is not your fault that I have been out of sorts. You have been kind to me since my return...well, mostly kind. You do love to tease me" She said, trying to joke to lighten the mood.
~~~

Aisling giggled softly then looked over to Emily, sitting up straight to see if the child was alright then looking to Aiveron again "It is perfectly understandable to me. The written word is far easier to send than to have to speak to one person face to face."

Emily was afraid she would get into trouble with the kitchen maid for ruining the pie and breaking the pie plate, so she tried to be sneaky in getting into the kitchen, but she needed to find a mop to take care of the rest of her mess before it caused problems. She was so distracted in her distress that she didn't notice if anyone was near her.

"Are you alright?" Angela asked as she caught up to the girl. She was not trying to startle her, though she might do so.

Emily whirled around at the close voice, a piece of the pie plate clattering from her apron. Looking up at the woman, the concern clearly broadcast on her face, Emily could hold in her frustration no longer. She burst into tears, whimpering with embarrassment. She wanted to run and hide in her corner of the scullery, but felt almost rooted to the spot, hugging the remains of the pie and what was left of the plate in her apron to keep it from spilling, while bits of pie littered her hair.

Reptar covered her hand with his own in a comforting gesture and smiled warmly. "Lady Lyra, that is because you are so fun to get a rise out of. I simply can't help myself sometimes." He said, also trying for levity. This was a special night and he wasn't going to ruin it, he reminded himself. So he decided to be on his best behavior for the rest of the evening.

"What a relief. I'm glad you understand that so well." Aiveron said pleasantly.

Angela came closer, picking up the piece that fell out to add it back to the rest then pulling out a handkerchief to dry Emily's eyes and clean her face a little "It will be alright." She said as she started picking the bits of pie out of her hair and adding them to the apron so they wouldn't have to be cleaned up later. When she was relatively clean, Angela would hug her gently and pat her back to soothe her.

Lyra returned his smile "It's only fun because you actually have to work at it with me" She teased then chuckled softly. She was so glad he didn't look hurt anymore. That was the last thing she wanted, was to hurt him.

~~~
Aisling smiled again and nodded. "I do not like to speak too much either. If I had to speak even to those here, I would freeze up and be unable to say a word." She admitted with a glance around the table.

" I messed up *sniff* everything," whimpered Emily between sobs, burrowing her face against Angela's warm side gratefully.

"No, you did not mess up everything" Angela said gently and looked at the girl as she held her in the hug. "This one pie on the other hand, well, no one will know what it would have tasted like, unless you got some when you tripped" She said, trying to cheer her up a little "Come now, let's go clean you up. One misstep is not the end of the world"

Sino looked with appreciation st her kindness. He only desired to court her more now.
