Elliot hiccuped softly and felt clausterphobic and he squeaked when Felix pulled him to his chest. He cried softly against him, and said "I-I w-was so-so scared.." He cried and sniffled and said "I-I won't hide there. N-Not again. Ev-ever." He closed his eyes in relief for Felix and thought He will always protect me.

Felix softly kissed Elliot's head as he stroked his hair. "It's okay, I'm here. You don't have to hide there, and you wont hide there anymore. Not alone. Not without me there to make sure you're at ease. I'm sorry, master, for not getting here sooner." He pulled him closer to him, patting his back as he felt slightly flustered. He's so fragile...

Elliot looked up at Felix with his wide blue eyes and sniffled, with a soft hiccup and said "Its okay Felix. I-I forgot I was afraid of the dark." He smiled softly and said "Its my fault, I should have brought Rolly with me." He hugged Felix around his middle and nuzzled his head against his chest and whispered "Thanks for saving me."

Antoinette squeaked when she was caught. All the other hiding places were taken and that was the best she could find. She got up and walked with Felix as they went around looking for the others. She watched as Felix ran towards a small space where the prince was, and saw he was frightened. She slowly walked closer as the prince was comforted, had no idea he had such a fear.

((There is something wrong with the site. xP))

Elliot sniffled in Netty's direction and sheepishly waved with his tiny hand from within Elliot's arms. He flushed, embrassed when he noticed other people in the room but he often catches himself thinking it is only him and Felix in the world, caught up in being next to him.

"Are you alright your highness?" She asked as she knelt down beside Felix and Elliot. "Mabe we should save this game for another time hm?" She asked with a sweet look on her face, hoping it will help ease him.

((@[email protected] so I see))

"He'll be fine, Netty. Thank you for your concerns." As if he weighed nothing, Felix lifted Elliot as he held him bridal style. Glancing down at the young boy in his arms, he nodded decisively as he headed for the door. "I'll be escorting you to your bedroom, sir. I think it would be wise if you would take a rest, now." Standing in the doorway, Felix turned around to look at the staff, his eyes seemingly darkened. "Thank you, all of you, for participating. Games like these, are bounding. Please keep it in mind, and if you'd please, feel free to continue playing." His green eyes shimmered as he made eye contact with Antoinette. "Netty, if you don't mind. Could you please make master Elliot a big cup of hot chocolate? Yours is the best, after all." Flashing her a polite smile, he waited for her to respond to him.

Antoinette smiled a small smile and nodded, herding everyone out of the room and heads to the kitchen to make the hot chocolate. Once she's done, she places cups, sugar, and the pitcher of chocolate on a tray and carries it up to Elliot's room. Stepping in backwards, she carefully enters with the tray and sets it down. "Here you go highness.. I hope it helps you feel better." She says with a sweet smile to him.

Elliot flushed when Felix picked up as he weighed nothing, and he laid his head against Felix's chest. He closed his eyes and said "B-but Felix, the tutors are suppose to be coming. I am suppose to meet them." He sighed slightly, feeling tired but still wanting to be polite to the staff he opened his eyes to look at Netty and said "Thank you for playing with me." He smiled sheepishly and said "Sorry, I was such a baby about it.." He flushed even more embrassment and said "Thank you." He reached forward to the hot chocolate and took a soft sip of the drink.

Theodore got out of the taxi when it stopped infront of a huge castle. He started walking towards it, searching for a maid or a servent that will show him his way to where the tutors' auditions were held. He smiled at a maid he saw when he got near enough to the castle. "Can you show me the way to the tutors' auditions?" He asked, still smiling. The maid blused and nodded immidiatley, asking him to follow her as she walked towards the drawing room. Theodore looked around the castle. "I can get used to it..." He mumbled under his breath.

Sitting on a chair aside of Elliot's bed and his arms resting on his knees, Felix nodded at Netty. "Thank you, for your efforts. Also for wanting to fulfill that request." He smiled faintly, before fixing his eyes on the ground. "Master, you're not a baby. Everyone has their fears and pains. The fact that you were scared makes you no more or less than human. I know you feel awkward about what happened, but considering yourself a baby... That would be lying to your own reflection, sir." Though unhearable, for his feeling Felix let out a big sigh. "Once the tutors arrive, we will head downstairs. Until that time has come, you will be staying in bed, master." I know you'd rather not, but I don't want you to push yourself to your limits and exceed them...

Antoinette stood beside Felix as he sat near the bed, and she nodded in agreement. "Yes master Felix is right. You should rest here and take it easy your highness. The tutors should be arriving shortly and we can keep them entertained until you are ready to come down."

Elliot leaned back in on the bed, saying softly to Felix "Thank you. And oh alright.." He curled up in a ball on the bed, his head tucked on the pillow and he reached out to tug on Felix's sleeve, holding the sleeve like it was a stuffed animal, he closed his eyes. What Netty said made him open one to look out and he said "When one arrives, please let me know, so I can go meet them. Please, Netty?"

Felix smiled softly, patting Elliot's head. "You'll know." Directing himself to Netty, he eyed her from under. She seems so much different from this angle... "Netty, thank you for your dedication to my master. You really set an example to maids, of which one is coming right now." Felix' eyes shifted to the doors as a young maid walked in, trembling as she stuttered out the word 'tutor' shyly before running of. "...Yeah..." I really wonder if they fear me or not...

Antoinette bowed low and smiled. "I will your highness." She noticed Felix eyeing her and she blushed. "His eyes look so intense...."Netty came back from her thoughts as a maid came in and let her know about the tutor. She turns and heads out the door after her. She hurried down, being careful not to trip and fall, then approaches the newcomer. She gives him a quick bow and addresses him. "Welcome sir, you must be one of the tutors come for an audience. Please, come this way." She said as she made a motion with her arm towards the drawing room, then leads the way towards it.

Elliot sat up when he heard someone shuffle in and out. "That was a maid right, Felix? Oh boy! Tutor must be here." He slid out from under Felix's hand and slipped on his slippers, sliding off the bed and heading out the door. He looked back at Felix saying "Come on!"

Theodore smiled gently at the new maid that arrived. "Thank you, miss." He said as he started following her, hoping that this time he would arrive the room where the auditions are taking place in.

[...short, sorry D:]

Felix sat there, eyeing his master. His excitement... Just when he wants to play a game... Why? Why do I mind him being excited? I know that I'll never be the only one in his mind, but why do I mind this much? I'm a bad servant... I deserve punishment... His eyes seemed empty, as his mind went blank. Staring at his master, he slowly stood up. His feet felt heavy, and it seemed he had to drag himself forward. "Yes, master..."

Antoinette motioned to one of the couches and smiled to him. "Wow, he's a handsome one... if this keeps up I'll never get any work done with all these handsome men walking around. "Uhm, please, have a seat. Master Felix and Prince Elliot will be with you and the other tutors shortly. Shall I get you anything to eat sir? A drink perhaps?"

((Awe Felix..)))

Elliot smiled slightly at Felix, and ran back to grab his hands, lacing his fingers with his servant, and leading him out and down the stairs. He walked down a long hallway and ended up in the entrance to the drawing room. He smiled happily up at Felix saying "Get to pick out a new tutor, Felix."

Netty looks up as more tutors enter and she gets them all situated, offering them all something to snack on while they wait their turn to meet with Felix and the prince.

((sorry just making up a group of tutors lol, I'm guessing there's more than one even though we know who's gonna get picked right? lol))

A slight blush appeared on Felix' cheeks as he felt startled by the sudden act of affection. He's holding my hands... He's just too cute... Smiling warmly at the Prince, Felix nodded in agreement. "Indeed a new tutor will be chosen today. Someone seems excited." Which would be a good thing if the tutors aren't all male... "What kind of tutor do you seek?" Felix wiped the hair out of his face with his free hand as he guided his master into the room. Taking a slight bow as he stood next to Elliot's seat, he glanced around, founding the room to be filled with men solely. Just great...

Theodore sat down on the couch and looked at the yound maid. "Thank you, but I'd rather not." He kept his smile on and looked around, hoping that none of the tutors he know were here, before he setteled his eyes on the maid infront of him yet again. "May I ask for your name, miss?" He asked her just before the door opened. He glanced at the two who entered the room, guessing the short one was the prince.

Elliot smiled at Felix and glanced at all the older guys, who would be his tutor. He frowned saying to Felix, "I don't know. I want someone who is good at academics. I don't need other tutors, since I still have my musical tutor and my ettic tutor." He glanced at a few from his seat, and tucked his legs under him and he smiled at them all saying, "Welcome." He looked at Netty who was talking to one and thought He is talking with Netty, he must be nice.

After serving those who wished for a drink or a snack, she turned to the first tutor who asked for her name. "Oh how rude of me, I never introduced myself. My name is Antoinette sir, I am the head of the maids here. However Felix is in charge of all the staff and serves the prince personally. You shall be meeting him shortly." She said with a smile. She looks back and sees that they have arrived and took their seats. "Ah, they're already here. I'll wish you luck mister....?" She said, hoping he would oblige her and give her his name.
