Elliot walked out of the bathroom, the robe trailing on the ground because of his size. He looked over at Netty and said, "Please play?" He jutted out his bottom lip in his attempt to get her to say yes.

He glanced over at the bed with his clothes and told Felix, "I don't need them ironed." He walked over to his dresser and bent down to pick out a pair of shorts.

"Thank you, Netty." Felix softly patted her head as his eyes followed his master. "I think it would do Master good to eat in the dining room. We could have the participating staff members gather, so we could discuss rules and length." Why does he look so cute? I'm so happy it takes a lot for me to blush, especially with Netty around. Felix ran his tongue along his lips as he moisted them, before looking back at Netty. "If you could please prepare Master Elliot's breakfast? Oh, and if you please, mind asking the kitchen staff if they would be willing to play, as well?" Another charming smile passed to her, as he rested his hand on her cheek. "Could you do that for me, please?"

Between Elliot's adorable little pout and Felix's dashing ways, it was nothing short of a miracle that she didn't go on and melt into a puddle right then and there. "I-I will be sure to do that Master Felix." She said as she gave him another quick bow. She does the same to the prince and smiles to him. "I will play highness and I will make sure the others join us as well. If you'll excuse me." With that Antoinette turns and heads for the kitchen, relaying Felix's orders and the Prince's wish for everyone to join him in a game of hide and seek after breakfast. Once she's passed it on, she goes on to the dining room to help the others get it neat and tidy and ready for him to feast. Once done, she nods to herself. "Just right.." She thought proudly to herself.

((Have to go feed the little brothers. Be back as soon as I can.))

Elliot smiled at Netty as she said yes, and he grabbed the shorts, shutting the drawer and walked to the bed to grab his other clothes. He turned to Felix and said playfully "I need to get dressed, so I will be a moment." He gently tugged at Felix's arm toward the door and when he got outside, he closed the door but left it open a crack.

He turned around to walk back to the bed and dropped the robe, taking the towel he discarded to pat dry his body off and he began to get dress, pulling the silk boxers on.

Felix had tried to put on a pokerface, yet couldn't help but to smile, feeling Elliot tug on his arm like that. After being put out of the room, he rested his back against the wall next to the door. "I'll wait for permission to enter, sir." Silly boy. He's so innocent, young, playful. I can't remember myself ever being like that, but seeing it on him, makes me feel so warm inside. I lo-.. Felix' gaze fell upon a maid walking down the hall in his direction. Standing up straight, he saw how she quickly turned around and dashed off. Hmm... Netty probably told her to tell me about the progress in the kitchen, but the girl she sent is too shy to approach me. Am I really that bad looking that people fear me? Or am I seeing it wrongly and am I attractive enough to make girls melt inside, like master Elliot does? Elliot... He closed his eyes, biting his lowerlip again. I'm not upset about you not wanting to dress up for me, but I feel bad I had to share your sight with Netty...

Antoinette looks over as the maid she sent runs back to her, face red and looking nervous. She sighed and rest her hands on her shoulders. "It's ok, you stay down here and start serving as soon as the Prince's food is done. I'll go tell him." She turns and exits the dining room, heading up the stairs and finds Felix leaning against the wall, biting his lip. There was something about the sight that made her freeze in her tracks. He looked so deep in thought, so distracted, so.."handsome..." Netty's face flushed and she shook it off. "Where did that come from??" She closes the gap between them and walks closer. "Master Felix?" She asked, not really wanting to snap him out of his thoughts but needs to keep him informed.

((BACK! My mom is feeding them.))

Elliot slipped his shorts and began to slide into his button down shirt when he called out to Felix. "Felix? Can you help me? Please, Felix?" He began to get frustrated as the buttons weren't alining correctly. His eyes started to tear up as he felt pathetic for not being able to button up the shirt by himself. He sighed to himself and he finished he buttoned his pants, zipping up the zipper and attempted to button the shirt up again.

(Welcome back! <3)

"Yes, Netty?" Felix glanced up at her, his eyes slightly dazed as he felt caught. He then heard Elliot call out for him. "Yes, sir? Netty, if you'd please follow?" He bowed slightly to her, opening the door as he walked up to his master. Upon seeing Elliot's position, he shook his head softly, a smile on his face as he bent over a tad, fixing the buttons. "What is it you needed me for, sir, Netty? Please feel free to tell me. I might be a man, I do know how to multitask and split my attention." He smiled at Netty from over his shoulder, his green eyes shimmering before he continued fixing the buttons.

Antoinette nodded, getting herself together, but it took some doing. His eyes were so beautiful and she often found herself distracted by them. As well as the Prince's shirt predicament which was just too cute for words. "I came up to inform you that the dining table has been prepared and breakfast shall be served. In fact I'm certain they must be laying it out right now, so as soon as his highness is done, we may make our way downstairs."

Elliot blushed slightly in embrassment for not fixing the buttons himself and mumbled a soft "Thanks, Felix." He looked up at Netty and said sheepishly, "I am kind of hungry." He looked up at Felix and then walked up to Netty, "Let's go to the kitchen?" He held out his hand for her to take.

"Thank you for your efforts, Netty. If you'd please escort young master to the dining room. I'll finish keeping the room tidy, then join your presence downstairs." He bowed deeply, turning around as he picked up the bath robe and towel, laying them over his arm before hanging them in the closet, as he grabbed the unworn pants, heading into the bathroom to place them back where he had taken them from.

Antoinette smiled and took his hand in hers. "So soft and gentle." She thought to herself. "He's truly a prince". She looks up at Felix and nods, then looks to Elliot. "Then let us make our way to the dining hall your highness." She said to him as she made her way out of his bedroom and towards the stairs. Stepping down them with him, she made sure he didn't trip or anything, then finally enters the dining area where the food was already laid out, a wide selection displayed for him. "I hope it is to your liking your highness.

Elliot smiled at the dining room and said, "This looks lovely. Thank you, Netty." He smiled impishly at her and let go her hand to lean toward the food. He pointed out pastries and said, "I want some of those." He looked up at Netty with his bright blue eyes wide and said "Can I have hot chocolate? With whip cream?" He looked hopeful like a puppy who was excited and tail waving.

Antoinette laughed lightly, finding his eagerness adorable and she looks to him. "As you wish your highness." She walks over to the kitchen to make him some hot chocolate while the others serve him the pastries he pointed out. Before long, Netty steps out with a gilded pitcher full of hot chocolate. She stands beside him and pours the chocolate into his cup and scoops up a dollop of whipped cream to place in it. "There you go your highness. Enjoy your breakfast." She said sweetly, tempted to ruffle his hair as if he were her little brother, but restrains herself, stepping back to stand with the others and wait on any other orders he, or Felix may have for them.

Opening the windows in the bathroom, Felix stared outside for a few seconds as he inhaled the fresh air. Mopping the floor, he couldn't help but to think of what tutors might drop in, and what they would be like. I hope they're not the flirtacious type of men. I don't need them around my master. It's not what I like, not what I want. I doubt he could handle it, and if he could, would I be able to do the same? Elliot... His eyes slowly narrowed as he felt a mood hanging over. Continuing on as he removed the bits of foam left behind and the shampoo from the shower cabin's floor, he bit his lip. Thinking back on how upset Elliot was after his old tutor's passing, he let out a deep sigh, shaking his head. I don't want you hurt, Elliot, ever again... Once the bathroom was cleansed, Felix put away the mop and the cloth he used to clean before washing his hands. Drying them, he fixed his tie and wore his white gloves as he headed out of the room, closing the door on his way out. I hope Netty has pulled it off. She's great at things like these, but she's such an odd girl at times. As if she forgets things when embarassed or flustered slightly. It's cute. It's almost the same as what Elliot does. Elliot... Why do I have the nerve to think the name in my head without master or sir, but not the heart to speak? Walking into the kitchen, Felix stood at the side of the door, glancing at Netty and Elliot.

Elliot smiled gleefully as he sat down at the table, the chair being tucked in by a servant and took a tentative small bite of a pastry. He said "Yum," happily and smiled to Netty when she poured him a glass. "Thank you." He took a sip of his drink, foam giving him a small mustache as he took a napkin, placing it in his lap and licked the top of his lip and said to the staff "With the mustache, if I was a bit taller, they would mistake me for my father." He giggled at his own joke and took another bite of his breakfast. He looked up at Felix and smiled saying, "Netty made me a cup of hot chocolate. She is super nice."

"So I saw. Glad to see you've thanked her. Would you also give a thank you to the kitchen staff for their hard work, preparing breakfast for you this morning?" Elliot slowly walked over to stand aside of Elliot's chair as he winked at Netty, mouthing a thank you afterwards. "Now then. As you would all know, the Prince has requested for a game of hide and seek. Those willing to join, please take a step forward. Those uncapable of doing so, or unwilling to play along, please take a step backward, greet your master, and excuse yourself as for we're about to discuss the rules, which wouldn't be of any interest if you're not participating." After speaking, he glanced around, seeing that everyone had taken a step forward. "I thank you all for your coöperation and will to play along. Master Elliot, the rules, if you please?"

Elliot smiled excitedly at Felix and the staff, he tucked his bare feet beneath him and he turned to address the players. "Okay rules are the seeker goes and looks for the people who are hiding." He tapped his finger against his chin and said "If you are found, you have to help the seeker find other hiders. But no cheating!" He smiled ruefully at them and said, "Don't give out the hiders hiding place, since thats cheating if you get tagged and you tattle on them. No one likes tattle tails." He perked up as he took another big sip of his drink, foaming collecting on his upper lip as he said "Can we play now?"

Tattle tails... Isn't that just adorable... Felix smiled, shaking his hand as he took a napkin to wipe Elliot's upperlip. "I think someone still needs to finish his breakfast," he said, pointing at the still half full plate in front of the boy. "Throwing it away would be a waste of their hard work and the good meal, so if you'd please. Also, the Queen insists on you emptying your plate, as you know." Folding the napkin, he placed it on the table. "Once the Prince has finished eating, the game will start. As for I shall start seeking, voluntarily, unless master would like to see otherwise?" He bent forward a tad, awaiting his master's response.

Elliot sighed softly and said, "But there is too much. Can I share, oh please, Felix?" He looked up at Felix and with the mention of the Queen he pouted and said "I can give some to Mr. Hutt and Mrs. Nancy who helped cook this, and to the people who are going to play. I can share." He smiled hopefully at the five other staff in the room, including Netty, and then said "You can be the seeker Felix. I don't mind."

"Big eye, little stomach. I know the chocolate milk is filling, which is why this time I could let it slip. That would be, if they would be willing to be shared with?" He eyed his collegues, who nodded and bowed in thanks. "Seemingly it's been decided. I will count to fourty. At fourty I will come and seek. Who hasn't hid him or herself properly will be my partner in crime." Felix smiled, as he turned around to walk to the corner, putting his hands over his head as he closed his eyes. "One. Two. Three."

Elliot laughed excitedly and jumped out of the seat, rushing past Felix and trying to stiffle his giggle. He rushed up stairs but not before he noticed other staff running off like ants and scattering into hiding places. He got to the top of the stairs and rushed to the library, and there is a tiny door in the wall which is a elevator, he opned it up and got inside. Giggling to himself in the dark and thinking Can't find me here.

"Fourty. HERE I COME!" Lowering his arms, Felix looked around to see if anyone was there, but the room, as he expected, was empty aside of his presence. Stepping into the hall. "Come out, come out, wherever you are..." He walked so silent, his footsteps were unhearable, his goal was to hear whispering from people who took the same hiding spot. But the hall was quiet. Then, seeing a door partially open in by the main entrance, he felt a little disencouraged. I gotta find over fourty people... I'll see inside first, then send the one I find outside... He glanced around as he noticed a piece of clothing by a desk. "GOTCHA!" He tapped the back of one of the dishwashers, who stood up chuckling. "You were never good at this game Joe. Look outside for any outdoor sneakers?" Highfiving his partner, he heard noises coming from the first floor. With a smirk, he ascended the stairs.

((I LOVE FELIX. Just saying.))

Elliot giggled nervously in the dark, getting slightly afraid of his excellant hiding spot. He glanced around the small space and could feel his breathing getting slightly ragged. He began to hiccup softly, his hiccups making his body start to lurch. His eyes started to water and he felt scared inside the small space.

As he walked up the stairs, Felix seemed to be struck by lightening as he froze in place. "Elliot..." What's wrong? Why did I feel that? Elliot, I have to find you and make sure you're okay... With large steps Felix found himself up the stairs as he tapped Antoinette's head, since she was hiding in the hall itself. As if something inside guided him, he found himself in the library, where he once again tapped several people. "YOU'RE ALL GOING DOWN! BWHAHAHA VICTORY WILL BE MINE!" But I need Elliot... As his eyes slid through the library, he walked up to the little door in the back, opening it as he found Elliot, his eyes watered and he was shaking. "Elliot!" In one flexible movement, he pulled the boy to his chest, his arms tightly around his back and waist as Felix rested his head in his hair. "It's okay. I'm here..." Just in time...
