distant memories

prin·cess (n) - the female ruler of a small state, actually, nominally, or originally subject to a king or emperor. A princess is generally refined in all manners; she moves gracefully and with purpose, even in combat. It is a standard practice for a princess to make troublesome decisions and give orders-- Though, sometimes, one has to make rules to be broken... Hello! Welcome to Selphia. Oh-- Please, lift your head! Just call me Frey. ♥ [Part of HarvesTales. Indie RPers are welcome!]

"...Excuse me, Frey? If you don't mind, I need you to do me a small favor. It will be quick, I assure you. I just need...a mannequin, for a lack of better words."

"Oh— Dolce! Of course! Anything for you. ♪" Smiling, Frey blinks, oblivious to whatever experimentation she might undergo. "You can take your time, I don’t have anything spectacular to tend to today."

[little-miss-puppetmaster]

"If it helps the situation, I find you to be very cute with or without the scarf." Dolce offered a small smile and adjusted her scarf. "My work can’t make a princess look better. I’m not even a professional."

[caughtinthefrey]

"Really?" A light blush crossed her cheeks. "Thank you! That’s certainly a high compliment, coming from you," she teased lightly, though she really was happy to hear such a thing. "You’re doing much better than me. The accessories I make come out looking strange, most days," she laughed. Cuddling the scarf to her face, she hummed. "It’s very warm. ♥"

[little-miss-puppetmaster]

"If you would like, perhaps I could aid you in learning how to knit? It could come in handy someday." Dolce nodded reassuringly and held a piece of the scarf between her fingers. "It should be. It would be most unfortunate if the princess froze to death, now wouldn’t it?" 

[caughtinthefrey]

Frey actually took a moment to consider the offer. "Hmm... Well-- If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I actually think that learning to knit would be really fun!"

Blinking at Dolce's reaction, she smiled and huddled a bit closer in attempts to give her a hug. "Oh, of course! I'm very thankful to have such a wonderful caretaker to knit a pretty scarf for me! ♥"

[bookishselphian]

Kiel, Kiel! Look-- Dolce gave me this pretty scarf! -Looks to him with happy eyes, spinning in a circle before smiling at him.- What do you think? Does it suit me? ♪

Oh, hi Frey! /smiles back at her/  It’s very cute!  It really does suit you. ♪

[caughtinthefrey]

-Looks genuinely happy before pausing.- Hm…

-With a mischievous grin, she removes the scarf from her own neck and throws it around his, smiling happily.- It suits you a lot, too! ♪

[bookishselphian]

/His face turns red as she drapes it around his neck.  It smells like Frey./  D-does it really..?  I think it looks better on you, though.  /He wraps one end around Frey so that they can share./

[caughtinthefrey]

-Blushing faintly, she looks pleased by this response. Subconsciously, she huddles closer to him.-

You think so? I don't know, it's a hard decision... I guess sharing it makes us both look good, right? ♥

[distantfield]

-Looks around the farm with a curious expression, astonished by the strange surroundings.-

He spotted the girl looking around at his farm. Not reconizing her, he carefully approached her. Maybe she was lost?

"Excuse me, miss, is there something I can help you with?"

[caughtinthefrey]

"O-Oh!" Turning to find the stranger, her cheeks lit up in mild embarrassment. "I’m sorry for intruding— I’ve never seen a place like this before, so I guess I got a little curious."

Blinking, she offered a polite smile. “Does this land belong to you?”

[distantfield]

"Yes, this is my farm. I live here." 

As she smiled Henry took a moment to observe the girl. He’d never seen someone like her before. It’s like she had come from a fantasy world. 

He scratched the back of his neck, not entirely sure how to continue from here. She had come here because of her curiosity and Henry didn’t want to shoo her away as he most certainly wouldn’t mind some company.

"Do you want me to show you around?" He asked, his hand still resting behind his neck.

[caughtinthefrey]

Frey was positively enchanted by the strange piece of property. The creatures walking along looked a bit similar to her monsters back home, and the plants grew in the same way.

Looking to him as he spoke again, she lit up. "Oh! Are you sure it's not too much trouble?" She was excited, however, and didn't really wait for a response. "I'd love for you to show me around!"

"--Ah--" Remembering her manners, she gave a little curtsy. "I'm Frey. I'm from Selphia," she announced simply, not wanting to go into details about being a princess.

Kiel! -Beams, waving.- Hello! ♪

/waves back excitedly/  Oh, hi there, Frey!  Whatcha up to?

[caughtinthefrey]

-Trembling a little, she moves her hand away from the shoulder she’s covering to reveal a bloody burn.- 

I’m alright— It only got me here. Ah— -Winces.-

[bookishselphian]

Here, just a sec— /casts some healing magic on Frey/  Does that feel any better?  You should have Jones and Nancy take a look at that when we get back.

[caughtinthefrey]

-Heaves a sigh of relief as the magic heals the skin, leaving behind just a bare trace of the wound.- Oh, it's much better now-- I shouldn't have to worry them over this small thing.

And it's thanks to you that it's better! -Grins, giggling quietly.- It's a good thing you're here to help me out. ♪

F-Frey—!!  /He jumps in front of her and retaliates with some wind magic, knocking the Blue backwards enough to knock it out./

/Turns to Frey, looking worried/  Are you all right?

[caughtinthefrey]

-Trembling a little, she moves her hand away from the shoulder she's covering to reveal a bloody burn.- 

I'm alright-- It only got me here. Ah-- -Winces.-

Yuki cleared her throat. Could she? Well, that’s why she came, she supposed. “Yes, actually,” she replied, “you can.” No one in the doorways… No footsteps… Marvelous. “Do you, perhaps, have any tomato juice here?” she whispered, shuffling her feet hesitantly.

That absurd man, Porco-something or rather, apparently drank all he had left. It was only a matter of time before her stomach took over.

[caughtinthefrey]

"Tomato juice...?" Frey brought her hand to her mouth as she gave another yawn, moving to stand up-- Almost too quickly, at first, causing her to grab at things for support as she made her way to the kitchen.

A moment later, she returned with a glass of the red liquid, holding it out to the girl. "Here you are."

[butternal-blog]

Hey, Vishnal! I have a bone to pick with you.

Oh, Princess! What is it? Did I upset you somehow? Princess, I’m sorry! Forgive me!

[butternal-blog]

P-Princess! Waking up early is vital to shipping your crops and such on time! And I — Um… I will take your suggestion into consideration for when I conduct your wake up call next.

He clears his throat and shuffles awkwardly away from Frey.

I-I am afraid this is all beginning to be too much for my heart… I can’t serve you properly if I were faint out of the blue…

[caughtinthefrey]

-Laughs happily.- Oh, my. It’s too easy. ♪

Alright, alright— I’ll leave you be. If you faint, I’ll be upset, so I won’t give you any more of a hard time for today, hmhm. 

[caughtinthefrey]

"...Excuse me, Frey? If you don't mind, I need you to do me a small favor. It will be quick, I assure you. I just need...a mannequin, for a lack of better words."

"Oh— Dolce! Of course! Anything for you. ♪" Smiling, Frey blinks, oblivious to whatever experimentation she might undergo. "You can take your time, I don’t have anything spectacular to tend to today."

[little-miss-puppetmaster]

“Find?” Dolce scoffed, a bit offended at the princess’s comment. “Find? I didn’t find it anywhere. I made it myself. I spent 3 days working on it, only to get it compared to some common tailor’s craft? Well, Frey. I’m hurt that you would think that way about my work. Is it that sloppy of a job…?”

[caughtinthefrey]

"O-Oh-- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you--" A little embarrassed, the princess's head dipped slightly, large eyes focused intently on the scarf. Fingering it precariously, she murmured, "I just didn't want to assume you'd made it for me, I suppose. I apologize." It didn't take long at all for her to recover, though, and a mere moment later she was offering a consoling smile, eyes bright. "It's not sloppy at all! It's beautiful. I've never thought scarves to suit me, but with this one, I feel very confident! Oof--" Stumbling over her words, she pulled the scarf closer to her face. "I mean, I don't usually think myself particularly catching when I look in the mirror, but I'm positive that this scarf makes me look very cute!!"

[caughtinthefrey]

"...Excuse me, Frey? If you don't mind, I need you to do me a small favor. It will be quick, I assure you. I just need...a mannequin, for a lack of better words."

"Oh— Dolce! Of course! Anything for you. ♪" Smiling, Frey blinks, oblivious to whatever experimentation she might undergo. "You can take your time, I don’t have anything spectacular to tend to today."

[little-miss-puppetmaster]

"Ah, wonderful." Dolce nodded and firmly placed her hands on the girl’s shoulders. She took a few steps back for a moment before nodding slowly. "This just might work….Yes, perfect." She smiled briefly before wrapping a yellow scarf around her neck. Dolce gently moved Frey’s hair out of the way and stepped back once more. "Perfect. It seem to fit you quite nicely, if I say so myself."

[caughtinthefrey]

Blinking, Frey looked down at the scarf with big eyes before returning her gaze to Dolce. "Ah... You just wanted to put this scarf on me? I-it's so cute... I love yellow! Where did you find something as pretty as this?"

[bookishselphian]

Kiel! -Beams, waving.- Hello! ♪

/waves back excitedly/  Oh, hi there, Frey!  Whatcha up to?

[bookishselphian]

/stays close to Frey and peeks around the corner, looking curious./

It’s an elemental fairy!  I remember reading about these, but I didn’t think they could be found in this cave.  Is it lost?

/the Blue notices them and starts to attack/  Ah- watch out—!

[caughtinthefrey]

Yeah, these usually only show up in particular areas based on the seasons. I don't underst--

-Her reaction isn't fast enough this time, and she gets hit with a water laser.- --Ergh--!

[caughtinthefrey]

gothic-ruffles said: Yuki prodded the Princess’s shoulder. Hopefully none of those butlers would come marching in… Especially that bearded one. What was his name? Volkanon? Yes, it must’ve been. “Princess,” she whispered fiercely.

"Nn..." Blinking, Frey sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes. She was in her most unguarded, innocent state when first waking up. "Yes...? Can I help you?" she asked sleepily, not really paying attention to who she was speaking to.

[caughtinthefrey]

"...Excuse me, Frey? If you don't mind, I need you to do me a small favor. It will be quick, I assure you. I just need...a mannequin, for a lack of better words."

[caughtinthefrey]

-Yawns.-

-Grumbles in her sleep. It's far past time for her to wake up.-

Ugh... -Sneezes, rolling towards the wall.-

Fmmmph....
