The blonde, despite her distress, smiled brightly as the girl sat down. There was very little things Punzie loved more than making new friends. Sure she wished it were under different circumstances, she was also appreciate of the help. Sticking her tongue out in concentration, Punzie nodded as the girl talked her through it step-by-step. Following each small motion, the blonde was beginning to think she was on the right track. Once the chopsticks were resting on the fingers the brunette had instructed, she reached down into her bowl for a noodle – no, too ambitious. She opted for a piece of chicken instead. “I’m never going to get this, am I?” Punzie grumbled as the chopsticks slipped from her fingers for the umpteenth time, sliding into the bowl beside the chicken and the noodles.

Anya watched as the other tried and tried, and tried some more. And in the end she seemed to give up and Anya leaned back on her chair and stole a fork from a different table, handing it to the other and picking up her own chopsticks, using them a little more successfully then the other had. "It just takes practice, keep at it when you don't want your food to get cold and I'm sure you'll get the hang of it eventually. Even if it does take a while."

Out of all the classes for Bambi to flunk it had to be the one class he promised his dad he would take for his sake: business. Now seeing the large F on his computer screen, Bambi closed the lid, let out a heavy sigh, and looked over at the person sitting next to him, “Excuse me but I was wondering if you would possibly know how someone could change a final grade?”

Anya looked up from her book and over to the other with a raised eyebrow, "That bad, huh?" She asked, setting the book onto the table and pulling her coffee closer to her, "You know, changing grades isn't exactly the right thing to do- but I may know a guy. Or guy's, they seem to be able to pull travel papers out of thin air, I'm sure they'll be able to change a grade." She spoke, before looking at the computer, "Though that thing- that might stop them, we're not used to this kind of technology. Or any technology for that matter."

scarlettshood:

Scarlett hesitated. She already had a lot on her plate but this girl seemed nice. She sighed, “Yeah, sure. If we can find a time that suits.”

The sigh seemed like the other was obligated to help and not like she wanted to and Anya hadn't wanted to bother her further then what she already had, "I work nights so it's not like I'm busy during the day- but if you don't wanna, don't sweat it. I get it, you're busy. Probably don't have time to show people the skills, especially when they could be terrible."

scarlettshood:

Scarlett laughed, “Well then maybe leave the baking to the pros then,” She joked, “I’m sure you could bake with the right teacher. Sometimes it’s best to learn from other people instead of a book.”

"I think that might be the best idea." She chuckled, sneaking her finger into the bowl and putting it into her mouth with a smile and a hum of satisfaction. "You would be able to teach me?"

thebeautifulbloom:

“This is an interesting book.” Belle paused upon looking at the book she was checking out for the customer before her. She looked up at them with a smile. “Actually… it’s one of my personal favorites.”

"Huh? Really?" Anya asked, turning the book over in her hands- she had just picked it up because she had been told that she should read the classics and this was probably the best place to start. "Can't say I know anything about it- I'm just getting it in the hopes of liking it."

dimitrixantonov:

“Come now, princess. I’m sure I could take it, if you really could do it and I couldn’t.” He said, pretending to pout. “Think of Vlad’s list. This will put you so far ahead I will have no chance of winning.”

"Could you really though?" She asked, because she liked to think she knew him well enough to know how he would react. "Vlad isn't here and I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to know about his list- and I'm already far ahead." She pointed out before moving closer to the other, "I think you're just trying to get me to take this off your hands so you don't have to do it yourself. Am I right?"

dimitrixantonov:

“If you’re so adamant that I don’t know what I”m doing, why don’t you come over here and do it yourself?” Dimitri looked over at her, raising an eyebrow with a huff. 

"Because of three reasons." She told the other holding up three fingers as she explained, "One, it seems like far too much effort. Two, you'd whine for the rest of the day if I managed to do it with ease and you couldn't." She spoke, lowering each finger with each reason. "And three, I'm far too amused watching you and your attempts."

punziegcthel:

“Ummm–” Punzie froze, turning around slowly on the spot to face the owner of the voice, “–not really,” she admitted sheepishly, chopsticks in hand. After looking over at the other tables and trying desperately to hold onto and pick up anything with the utensils, she was about to stab the piece of chicken with one of the chopsticks and eat it like a shish-kebab. The girl had stolen her attention mid-stab. “You don’t mind giving me a hint or some advice… do you?”

Anya chuckled before grabbing her bowl and her bag dumping it on the blondes table and taking the empty chair opposite her- if she was going to teach her how to eat with chopsticks, she might as well make friends and have some company for dinner before she went to work. "Sure- it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it." She explained, holding her own in her hand. "You want to balance one of them between your forefinger and your thumb and then rest it on your ring finger-.." She demonstrated before continuing to explain, "Then you want to do the same with the second, but rest it on your middle finger instead of your ring one. You want to get a good grip, but make sure you don't hold them too tightly and then just use your middle finger to move the top chopstick." She finished explaining picking up a piece of chicken from her dish and placing it in her mouth easily.

“Absolutely,” Scarlett said, stirring the goopy batter, “It just needs a bit more flour is all.”

Anya looked into the bowl and had to stop herself from dipping her finger into the sweet batter to have a taste- "See, if I tried something like this it would be all over the walls by now. And probably some sickly colour."

[axyaromaxov]

“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” Anya asked, watching as the other seemed to be struggling whilst she stood back, no plans to hurry and help out. In fact she was pretty content with observing them with a small smirk on her face.

get to know me: [02/??] favorite animations: anastasia (1997). 

Do you ever think about the possibility? That I could be royalty? Well, I don’t know, it’s kind of hard to think of yourself as a duchess when you’re sleeping on a damp floor. But sure, every lonely girl would hope she’s a princess.
