Nectar and Liam felt slightly unsettled as they walked in [ It's quiet, a little too quiet ] Nectar and Liam walked in, yelling for the kids to come out " We've got a surprise for you guys ".
Liam looked over at the waiting hall, the door was slightly opened " Maybe they're in there ". They walked in to the brightly lit room and Nectar looked around, holding out the basket " I have something for you Ica ".
Nectar frowned as she was met with silence. She shoved the basket towards Liam had began looking around, only to find the cookie jars " This isn't funny anymore, please come out ". She opened the other door and was surprised and relieved by what she saw.
The kids were talking with their guests as Reli spoke softly to Eros as if explaining something . Nectar frowned as she stepped out to the other side, " What's going on here "? They all turned to her as she quickly walked over.
Jewlica's smile faded some as she pointed up at Eros, " He wanted to take our cookies away from us Sister Qidu ". Nectar glanced at Eros then back at Jewlica, " Don't worry about that Ica, I'll sort it out. Take them back in Tera ".
Fauna and Tera nodded and guided the kids in. Reli and Cookie followed suite, collecting the basket from Liam as he stood with Nectar. She glanced at Dodwen who was avoiding her gaze.
Sighing, she spoke mildly, " Is there a problem you're majesty "? Eros shrugged but Archie spoke up shyly, " It's my fault, I ran in here and wanted one. I didn't expect his majesty to try and make them hand it over ".
Bonsi smiled stiffly, covering his mouth and shutting him up, " I'm sorry about him, he tends to speak before he thinks. Please forgive him your majesty ". Nectar smiled faintly, " No harm done, if you do want some. We'd be happy to share ".
Archie brightened, pleading with his eyes. Axis and Bonsi finally agreed and went in, Luscious followed suite after staring at Nectar for a few seconds. She turned to Liam and Dodwen as Eros spoke, " Help our guests, I'll be right in ".
Liam didn't seem to happy about leaving her with Eros but she gave him a reassuring smile and he reluctantly left. Nectar's face turned cold as she turned to Eros and curtsied, " Forgive me for leaving them unsupervised your majesty ".
Eros sighed, stepping closer to her " You don't have to be so formal ". Nectar nodded, standing straight " Is there something you need your majesty "? Eros smiled faintly, " Will you ever call me by my name "?
Nectar couldn't hide her shock, something like this never came up in her first life, except when he constantly reminded her not to call his name. Nectar smiled, shaking her head, " Your majesty and I are not very close and besides your majesty wouldn't like me to address you that way ".
Eros chuckled lightly, nodding in agreement, " Alright then, I heard about your little experiment in the kitchen as well ". Nectar nodded stiffing up as he played with a strand of her hair, " Its nothing serious, I can have the chef make them for you if you want ".
Eros suddenly held unto her gloved hand and kissed it, " Wouldn't it be better if you made it "? Nectar blinked a few times, retracting her hand " I. I'm not capable or worthy. Excuse me your majesty ".
Nectar's face crumpled immediately as she turned around and removed the glove she was wearing [ I'll just burn this ] Nectar walked in to the chatter of children.
Archie and August were sharing cookies as Tera handed out the chocolate milk [ I nearly forgot to eat what I made, that's terrible ]
Nectar didn't wish to bother them and picked her tray of star shaped cookies and a jar of milk [ You can't see me, I can't see you ]
Nectar had made it to a side hall on the far side of the hall. Sitting cross legged on the floor, she ate the cookies. She threw the glove Eros kissed aside, she was still confused.
[ He hates me but he's trying to be nice to me. It can mean only one thing, either he's gone insane or wants something from me ] Biting into her cookie, she confirmed her thoughts [ It could be both ]
" But what could I possibly have that he'd want "? Nectar racked her brain, thinking of anything but right now she was basically a pawn...or so everyone thought and she had no sort of political power in Actso either.
" Oh right, Nova will be here too. So many problems to deal with at once ". Nectar ate another cookie, trying to encourage herself " It'll be fine. I just hope she doesn't bother me ".
Nectar got up, stretching her legs and opened the door. She was surprised when she was met with green snake like eyes [ Haven't I seen those before? ] Nectar smiled slightly, " Is there something you needed your highness "?
Luscious shook his head, looking into the room " Nothing of the sort, I thought I heard voices ". Nectar resisted the urge to roll her eyes [ He should mind his own business, no wonder he got himself killed ] " Alright, I'll leave you be now. Excuse me ".
Nectar waved at him lightly and walked past him. The others were already going and Nectar went to see them off. She didn't even notice the strange look he gave her.
