If you need to talk to me, do it quickly. I don't have time to waste on unfashionable people like you.

~[Ivan & Antoinette] Zuzu The Bear Is Missing~

[ivan-t-your-love]

*Smiles upon hearing the bear’s name. It sounds incredibly adorable to him, but he doesn’t say anything about it to refrain from embarrassing the poor girl* Oh dear. Well, if you care for him as much as it sounds you do, he’s got to be somewhere nearby. *Frowns in worry* Hmm… Do you know everywhere you’ve been on the day you misplaced him?

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

Yeah. [nods] I stood on the bridge for a little bit, I went to the cafe, I stopped by Gretel's for a minute and then I went home. I already talked to Gretel and she said that she hadn't seen it anywhere, so I know it's not there. I just checked the cafe and asked Joan and Marian and they couldn't find it either. [she sighs heavily, her voice sounds desperate.] I really need to find him, Ivan. He means so much to me. I'm really worried he's gone forever...and I don't know what I'll do if he is. [she lifts her head up, with a bit of hope] But I heaven't checked near the bridge yet, he might be there, but honestly I'm a little nervous to find out. If Zuzu isn't there....[she worriedly looks off]

Do You Like Fashion? [Antoinette/Candace]

Candace always took notice of when people didn’t cut her off when she was talking. It was such a common occurrence (in between her also common-place stammering) that she’d grown entirely used to people doing it— and when someone took the time to listen to her, it took her slightly by surprise. She found herself breathing a sigh of relief at the end of her sentence - and her smile was that much more relaxed when she listened as the other young woman continued.

"Oh— th—" Compliments were always difficult for Candace to accept, and she tucked a bit of hair behind her ear as she stumbled over her reply. "Th— thank you. Mm—" She nodded in confirmation, continuing with slightly less hesitation.

"It was my grandmother’s business, to start.. my sister and I, um— kind of fell into it, I guess you could say.." Candace giggled. Sometimes it felt very much like she’d fallen into her life. "Though my sister is more, um— she went to school for fashion, you know, so she’s— you know, she’s got the whole package..!"

She gave the customer a nervous smile. “Do you like fashion, miss..?”

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

"So, you didn't go to school for fashion? Do you want to? I don't think it's exactly necessary. I didn't go to school for it, and I'm doing just fine. Although now I'm in and out of extensive training and apprenticeships, but that's only because I want to improve more and more." She smiled as she looked back over at the dress she wanted, "Although, if you can make something like this, you might not even need to go to a school."

"Ah." Antoinette nodded, "Yes. You could say I quite like it. I've been sewing ever since I was a child. A thread and needle has always been there for me and now It's my dream to take over the world - with style and clothe every poorly dressed individual." She grinned at Candace, "Although now I'm considering joining forces with you." Of course she was just kidding, but she sounded very serious.

♪ [What a quaint town she'd come to -- well her father had told her to find someone who could create a dress for her, and she was more then pleased to hear she had a choice of whom to choose. Though the actually act of looking for someone was a bit more ... difficult.] ... ... [She double checked the address on the small piece of paper she held tight, before nodding once and knocking on the door in front of her.]

[Antoinette was sitting on her coach reading a book in the peaceful silence of her empty house. Things were quiet, gentle, she could only hear her fingers touching the pages of her book and the faint ticking of their grandfather clock. After two weeks of non stop/late night sewing she needed a break. But when there was suddenly a knock at the door, Antoinette was so startled that she dropped her book.] ….? [she stared at the door, then at the clock. It was too early for Gretel to stop by. She usually had farm work to do in the morning. Who the heck would come see her right now? Too curious to know she picked up her book and walked over to the door.] It better not be Kevin. [she opened the door and stared at the women waiting there. She had never seen her before, but from her point of view she looked like she had a keen sense of style. Antoinette could tell that instantly. She blinked at the women a couple times before finally saying anything.] Yes, is there something you needed? If not, there’s a good book I need to get back to.

What are some of your hobbies you do for fun?

I sometimes draw landscapes when I’m bored. I also have recently become fond of drawing frogs in my notebooks. I really want to learn how to play the piano, but I haven’t found anyone to teach me yet…

But mainly for fun I try to plot ways to destroy Lloyd—! No, wait! I-I mean…I like to bake sweets! Yes, that’s what I meant - I like baking. and imagining I’m baking something that will poison Lloyd.

What color would you dye your hair if you were guaranteed it would go back to normal the moment you wanted it to?

Hmmmm. White probably. It’s strange…I’m not exactly sure why. It’s just… very pure and makes anything you wear stand out, and it’s very light and soft, so I think it makes you look very elegant and graceful.

But, then again, I’ve always thought having brown hair would look really nice too. [smiles] I actually think brunettes are really very beautiful.

~SS SUNDAY~

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

What happened to your mother?

What happened to her…? [she looks surprised at first, but then she casts her eyes downwards with a sigh.] Well, to summarize a long story; She favored fortune over love, and chose her job over her family. A lot has technically ‘happened’ to her since then, she’s got many achievements. But it’s nothing I care about mentioning to you.

~[Antoinette & Vishnal]~

[butler-power]

 With the rain coming down so quickly, Vishnal had to work just as swift. The Prince and Princess were to be home early from there dungeon crawling and they had both requested freshly made beds as well as their specific personal flavored tea. Frey wanted warm — While Lest preferred warm, but not too close to cold.

  The butler nodded, trailing over the things he had left to finish and counting them on each of his gloved fingers. That was when he heard the knock at the door. “— ?” Being just beside the door, he straighten his posture quickly and opened the front door. “Greetings, how may I be of — !!”

  The man jolted upon noticing the drenched young woman, as well as her small companion. “O-Oh my! How about we skip the useless i-introductions — and how would you like to come inside Miss?” He couldn’t help himself from becoming slightly frantic, stepping aside quickly and allowing her to enter.

  “Please do come in! Wait a mere moment while I go fetch you a towel!”

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

When the door opened Antoinette felt a wave of relief, but the man in front of her looked...almost like a butler? She knew because she always admired butler uniforms. She wasn't aware that Selphia needed butlers though. Was there royalty in Selphia that she didn't know about? He seemed rather jittery to be a butler though.

She was pleased with his offer however and stepped inside with the shivering kitten. "Alright. Thank you." She remembered the cat and quickly called to him, "Ah! Actually could you bring me two?"

~[Antoinette & Mistel]~

[pechvogeltje-blog]

The clock face hanging in the front of the shop required just as much care as the clocks inside - and sometimes even more, considering it was exposed to the elements. Mistel made it a regular habit to make sure it was clean and in working order, gently wash its face and back and make sure time and the great outdoors were treating it with the care it deserved.

He’d noticed the stranger standing outside by the tree across the road halfway through his regular clean-up work, and had originally thought nothing of it except to throw her a friendly smile in greeting. It hadn’t occurred to him until sometime close to when he’d been finishing up that she’d been stealing glances at him occasionally - and taking notes on him, as far as he could tell. How else could he explain the way she seemed to be writing on a pad of paper after looking at him?

Mistel pondered this as he worked, humming to himself. Perhaps she was an inspector? But an inspector could probably garner more information from the inside of his shop than the outside. Perhaps it was a news reporter? But what sort of article could be written about a young man who’s cleaning a clock?

Young Man Cleans Clocks Without Raising A Fist. Mistel chuckled to himself at the imaginary headline. No, that was silly.

For his own peace of mind he finished quickly, leaving his cleaning supplies in a bucket by the front door of the shop. He crossed the road, approaching the stranger with his friendliest smile. “Excuse me, miss?” He folded his arms behind his back, leaning forward inquisitively - though not being so rude as to look at what she’d been doing with the pencil and paper without being invited to see. “My apologies if this is somewhat of an awkward meeting, but I thought I ought to come over and introduce myself. I’m Mistel.” He withdrew a hand from behind his back to offer her a handshake, smiling politely. “Who are you?”

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

Antoinette stared at him a moment, partly in confusion and partly in surprise. "I- um..." She looked down at her sketch pad, then back up with a slight embarrassed blush. Did he notice her drawing him? He had to have noticed. Why else would he come over? But more importantly how was she supposed to explain herself?!

"Ah." She snapped out of her daze, and reached out her hand to shake his with a firm shake. "Antoinette. I'm Antoinette." She drew her hand back and held her head up high and proud, thinking she'd act curtly to avoid embarrassment, "So, can I go? Or is there something you need from me? Or did you really just feel compelled to come over here and introduce yourself?"

~Antoinette & Gill~

[grumpy-gilligan]

*Nods* Thank you, though it’s my father’s decision whether or not my suggestions will become a reality, and unfortunately the gap between me saying something and him doing something about it is a rather far one. Yes, he is rather… interesting, indeed.

A princess, hm? I was not aware this town even had a king, *laughs just a little bit* or are you fond of pulling the legs of first-time visitors of the town?

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

*Antoinette laughs lightly from his statement* Well, next time I visit, I'll have to meet this father of yours.

Oh, no. *she sounds so honest that it's easy to believe her* No, I'm being one hundred precent serious. This town might not have a king, but I'm still the princess. *she mumbles to herself, but it's loud enough to make out* Of course it's not really 'official', but everyone in town kind of knows me as a princess. N-never mind. *she waves her hand in the air* The details don't matter.

miss-reneigh said: … ? [Looks down at her goat who was happily nibbling on a piece of fabric] Gabe! [Jumps forward and snatched it from his mouth, before handing it back to Antoinette] I’m so sorry, Miss! He’s friendly, I promise! That j-just means he likes you… ♪

Likes me? [she puffs a snarky laugh] Well, Gabe sure has quite a way of wooing women. [she takes the fabric from Renee and puts it up to the hole where it had been ripped out of. She sighs, and her anger cools down a bit.] Well... there's no helping it now. It won't be hard for me to fix up. It's hardly nothing to worry about. [she laughs at herself] Maybe I should feel honored. My dress looked so good that that goat wanted to eat it.

[Antoinette is a little surprised by how quickly she pulls away from her. She wonders if she's scared of her and tries to sound a lot kinder then before.] I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. You said you lost your grandma, would it be okay if I helped you find her? [she slowly reaches out her hand so she wouldn't scare the child] My name is Antoinette, I'm the princess of Zephyr Town. And what may I call you?

Speaking to Animals 101 (Rod and Antoinette)

[goggles-and-guineapigs]

"You sure?" He asked, tilting his head. "I mean! I don’t wanna offend you or anything! I really am sorry!" Rod blurted out, looking down. Crap, he probably did offend her and now she seemed upset. But, he could help her now! "Sometimes dogs can tell if you’re nervous around them! I heard it from somewhere but I don’t know how true it is really." He grinned. "I think he was scared like you! So that’s why~!"

Rod snapped his fingers, grinning still. “My stall! I got some dog bowls there and water there so we can give him some! Would you like that buddy-” He looked down to see the dog wagging his tail and beamed. Without skipping a beat, Rod blurt out to her, “Okay now you should him! Since he seems to like you now and you’re in a better mood!” He didn’t realize how that may just offend her, but he was way too happy to see the dog react that way.

[cherrytearoyalty-blog]

"Of course I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm pretty sure that's the cause." Antoinette shook her head, "Ah, no. I'm not really offended. I just kind of feel bad for scaring the poor little guy." She raised her head and smiled, "But he seems to like me a lot more now. Thanks to you, no doubt."

'Did he have to say it quite like that?' Antoinette dryly thought, but she wasn't angry about it. She chuckled softly, "Alright, fair enough. If I stop having a bad mood then he will too." She patted the dog again then stood up, "So, where is this 'stall' of yours? Come to think of it, why do you have a stall with dog bowls?'"
