Sikura looked at the ballroom as she was wisked away to be redressed. Her eyes closed as she was undressed and bathed. She didn't know exactly what happened but she knew that peace was almost within sight. The human looked at the gowns the demons brought to her and picked a gown of red. It was a strapless gown with a ruffled bottom and a short train. Her hair was piled on top of her head and a large black diamond around her neck. Sikura blushed as she walked out into the ballroom.
|
"Yes your majesty," she replied to the princess. She followed the princess diligently and hoped Zeak would not take long Phoenix made sure she was more aware since it was just the two of them. She did not want to be caught unawares with so many demons about. She was sure there were still some with battle lust that might make a rash move. She had only a small dagger on the inner part of her left thigh. She knew how to use it well enough but she was hardly equip to deal with a real attack. The simple dagger was mainly for self protection and not much else.
|
Penelope hurried along. she didnt want o be caught by anyone! not even an angel. She didnt want to risk any of her time away from the prince being noted by her father of whom she was sure was keeping a VERY close eye on here and the situation.
"U-uhm....P-phoneix c-could you lead the way!?" penelope asked an enbarrested blush spreding across her face and neck. "I think i just got us a little lost is all !" she said laughing slightly and rubbing her hands together nervously. |
Phoenix had studied the layout and had even gone as far to locate and dig up very ancient blueprints of the castle. It was unwise to come into unknown territory without an idea of the layout. It was another reason she had come early. She had done a lot of her own poking around to see what still existed and what did not.
She looked toward the princess and said, "Of course Princess. Your room is not far from here." She stayed side by side to the princess not wanting to let her go out of her sight. It did not take long for them to reach her quarters. Phoenix went and held the door open for her and said, "This way your majesty." She made sure to bow lightly to give respect. |
penelope Smiled happy that Phoneix knew the way."Thank you Ill have to keep you close so i don get lost at all!!" She said and stepped into the lovely room. It was made fo an angle no doubt. It was all white, curtain and all. She noticed a tronk at the foot of te large bed and figuare she might start their for cloths.
"I wonder who packed for me.... It was probably mother!" she said trying to keep conversation with Phoenix. |
Phoenix walked into the room after the princess making sure to shut the door behind her. The room was excessively white but it fit the princess well. Phoenix always was more prone to wood tones which was another oddity for an angel to have.
She turned to the princess and realized that there were no attendants around. They must have not sent any but Phoenix knew royalty had attendants. She said to the princess, "Would your majesty like me to help her dress?" Though Phoenix was not bursting with femininity she knew how to get even the most confusing clothes on. |
penelope looked over her shoulder at Phoneix. a smile came to her face and she only shook her head. "I know im rather strange but i like doing things for my self! Thats probably why mother didnt send anyone to help!" Penelope stated as she pulled a green dress from the tronk and tossed it on the bed. sh ethen pulled a purple one out and smiled. "Im going to wash up a bit before i dress do you need to as well!?" penelope asked and she folded the dress over her arm to carryit easer."Feel free to do waht you need. you can barrow any dress you like i dont mind!" she added before dissapering into another room and finding a focet to get water from.
|
Before the princess took off Phoenix said simply, "Your majesty it is not fitting for one such as I to wear your clothing. Plus my body shape is rather odd. It would be best for me to dress from my things. I am grateful for kindness though." Phoenix did not have much in the way of a chest and with her androgynous body type and their different sizes she knew the dresses would not fit her. She hoped she had not offended the princess by refusing her offer. Besides them not fitting she knew it was not proper for a lower angel such as herself to be attired in the princesses clothing.
|
Penelope only gave a sad face that was most exagerated. "Ok, i understand!" she said and gave Phoenix puppy eyes. "youll still stay and help me though if i need it right!?" She asked as she pulled her hair down from the fancy bun it was in and began to wash her face. "Kuz i think i might need help getting into this thing!" She gave a small laugh before popping back into the room.
|
Phoenix gave a light smile and said, "Of course your majesty. I will stay with you until Zeak arrives to watch over you. I do not mind helping you Prince Penelope. I should not have any trouble buttoning or lacing any of the garments." She went forward ready to be at service at any moment.
|
Penelope smiled happy that she was going to have help. She had chosen the most complicated and worst kind of dress she had ever put on in her life. But it was her favorite, next to the white one with blood stains all over it. Quickly Penelope washed up and slipped herself into the strapless dress. It was a little heavy due to the amount of beed's embroidered into it. "Ok Phoenix!" she said as she held the dress in place. "I just need laced up please!" she said and carefully stepped backwards to exit the wash room.
|
Phoenix's nimble fingers went to work quickly weaving the fabrics to lace them up just right. She made sure not to make it too tight but also not to make it too loose. Once she was finished she used the loose ends to make a beautiful bow. She then took the time to slightly adjust and smooth every little thing so it looked perfect. Their princess was an icon and Phoenix would make sure she looked radiant. Once she had finished with the back she went to the front and looked it over. She did the same thing and made sure everything was spot on and then took a step back saying, "Princess would you like me to fix your hair? It has come a bit loose. If you have some gems I could put them in your hair. I think it would be a nice touch but if you have something else in mind I can do that instead."
|
Damien sat impatiently as he waited for the Princess. His eyes kept scanning the room as he was uncomfortable, though his body seemed relaxed and regal otherwise. He saw Janen waking up the demons and an angel waking up the angels.
After a few minutes he spotted Sikura and smiled. He waved her over, his eyes looking her up and down. He also dismissed the lesser demons who had dressed her He loved the dress. Red was his favorite color after all! |
"Your free to do as you want, after all your not a subordinate of...Janen I said don't bite!" Talon had started to say towards the priestess looking angel, before his attention again went to his second in command. He had bit one of the few still sleeping lesser demons to wake them up. Out of the corner of his disapproving gaze, that was directed at his second, he had noticed a flash of white and metal heading towards the entrance that would lead to the various rooms of the castle, and figured that, that had been the Princess and half mechanical angel.
Janen let out a sigh as he released the demon he had bit. The demon had woke with a start at the feeling of the white haired demon's fangs digging into its flesh and was relieved of Talon's intervention. Janen couldn't help but use pain to awaken others, after all he did serve under the 'battle-happy' Talon. Regardless he knew from his superior's look that if he disobeyed again it would be more than just his head flying. He too had noticed the Princess and the metallic angel as they had gone by, but he didn't say anything to either one. His gaze then turned to their Prince and notice he was again gawking at the human girl he had been fawning over. |
Penelope smiled. "i would like that very much!" she said and looked around quickly for a place to set. She then rumaged quickly though her trunk to find a rather large wooden box. "This is my Jewlery box!" She explained happily as she opened the top and plucked out a small purple bag amung many diffrent colored ones. "Here use this it should have a few things you can use!" She stated with a smile. Penelope then found herself a foot rest and sat down.
"Next ill help you! And dont refuse Ill just ignore you and do it anyways!" She said with a small laugh. Zeak stood outside the door that was penelopes room. he could here her getting ready with Phoenix. It was rather refreshing to here her try and make friends. though it seemed she was doing a poor job at it. "my lady You had best hurry Im sure the Prince has little to no patence!" Zeak stated from outside the door, his only responce was of Penelope complaning that "He will wait even if i have to take the rest of the night!" |
Phoenix went the box quickly knowing exactly what she was looking for. Her hand came out with a handful of small diamonds. She set them gently to the side and got to work brushing the princesses hair carefully. She was about to respond when she heard Zeak speak through the door. She finished brushing her hair and started putting it up elegantly saying while she worked, "I would love to accept your help your majesty but Sir Zeak is right. The Prince is willing to make the peace treaty and he should not be kept waiting too long. I very much appreciate your offer but perhaps another time." Once the hair was done she used a light angelic spell to keep the diamonds in place as she set them in different spots all over. She finished and gave a small hand mirror to the prince saying, "Is it to your liking my princess."
|
Penelope took the mirror and examined her hair. it was wonderrfull. She was glad Phoenix had done it. If she hadent then penelopes hair would of wound up just being placed in a dumb old ponitail with some simple curls strun here and their.
"Thank you Phoenix!" She exclamed and stood up. "I guess your right though," penelope said with a sad look. "Perhaps we can play dress up another time and I can make you look as beautiful as you should look!" She said a smile coming to her face. "Please feel free to use what ever you want from my box i dont mind at all nore do i care if its proper or not!" She statsed befor leaving the room. "it took you long enough!" Zeak said with a small chuckle. He glanced down at Penelope only to see how beautiful she was. "Your looking even mor radent...Though wernt you wearing makeup?" He asked noticing she had little to none on now. "Yes well its late and I doubt anyone will care whats all over my face.!" Penelope stated and fallowed Zeak back to the ball room. |
Talon didn't notice the reentrance of the Princess and Zeak. No instead he was currently beside his second in command. "What did I say about biting?!" he said only rising slightly above his normal tone volume and hitting his second in command upside the head. He had again bit yet another lower ranking demon and the once patched demon had, had enough of it.
He knew there was perhaps only one way to get it through the white haired demon's head. His gaze went to their Prince that sat upon the throne. He appeared a bit preoccupied, staring at the human that he had been gawking over, but he wasn't going to let that stop him from teaching Janen a thing or two. "Permission to behead my second since he appears unable to follow directions and orders at the moment" he asked in a fairly serious tone. Typically this sort of request was done as a joke, though whether he was actually joking right now or not was uncertain. Janen rubbed the back of his head where he had been struck by the bat winged demon. His eyes widened a bit at Talon's request to behead him. He really hoped that his commander was joking. He also hoped that if he wasn't their Heir would deny his request. He had known he had pushed it by disobeying Talon twice, but he couldn't help it. The lower demons were just laying there and he was a known biter when it came to his kind. In fact it had been rumored that he had even been bold enough to actually bite Talon to get the demon's attention, this in turn had left him wandering between the battle field and in hell many of times. |
"I am glad you are pleased with it princess," she said grateful she had been able to do a praiseworthy job. Phoenix simply listened to the princess as she offered her things to her and watched her leave. Phoenix had manners and would be proper regardless. She put everything away carefully and made sure to lock the door before she left.
She made her way to her own room and sat down once inside. She simply relaxed for the moment and thought about the other dresses she had brought. None of them were as exquisite as the one she had on but there was not much she could do about it. Phoenix stood and slipped her dress off and walked to the sink. She did the best she could to remove the blood but there was still a stain. She hung it in the bath so it could dry and grabbed another dress from her trunk. A coworker had told her to bring it saying it looked good on her but now she wondered at the choice. It was a vibrant red with embroidery of gold thread and beads. She let out a sigh and set it on the bed. Going to the bath she got a towel and gave herself a quick bath with it. It felt nice to get the blood off. She then removed her jewelry and hairpiece putting them away carefully. Slipping into the red dress was easy enough since the bottom was not full. It sort of draped elegantly off her small curves. Deciding there was too much red she grabbed a white and gold sash from her things. It was long with gold threads hanging from each end. She wrapped part of it lightly across her neck letting one end fall behind her back. Then she draped it nicely around her waist making sure it would not come loose. The other end hung nicely from her small delicate hip. She picked some simple gold jewelry to go with the out fit and re-did her hair. For her hair she put in a gold clip with red jewels. Pulling a little feather off her wing she managed to stick it to the hairpiece. Now that she was finished she left her room and walked back toward the ball room. She hoped this was the last time she would have to change in next few hours. ((can we say Zeak has the key to your room or something ;^^)) |
Penelope had just sat down and gotten confertabul when Talon approced the prince and requested something terrifyinly horrid. She looked around for who talon might be talking about with no luck. She wanted to say something but waited intill the prince gave an answer. "The poor demon!" She mummbled to herself as she watched and waited.
Zeak stood silently he caired not of what happeend to the demons. Perhaps if they were lucky this demon would die for good and would be one less head ache for him to worry about. (( of course! He would have to have it anyways!)) |
(Lol you realize that Talon just directed his gaze at the Prince, but remained by Janen right? XD)
|
'Dispell' I said softly twirling my staff. The next moment some sleepheads were holding their heads, except for the lesser creatures that have not had sleep for 5 days, but yeah, I cant help those can I?
((woopsie, double post o.o)) |
((But i thought Talon Approched The prince and asked him. Not that he was a cross the room and saying it! or did i get that wrong too?! o~o))
|
The redressed human saw Damien looking her over and blushed as red as her new dress. "Does it it look alright?" She said shyly as she looked at the prince who claimed her. Her eyes scanned the room a little bit as she waited for his response.
|
"It looks more than alright." He smiled at her. "It looks lovely on you. Red suits you." He grinned and looked over at the Princess.
"The demons are use to it...though it is somewhat impolite in a meeting such as this." |
