Who would be the worst person to be stuck in an elevator with? How about the best person to be stuck in an elevator with?

“The worst? I don’t know, someone I can’t seem to get along with... but I can’t think of anyone off hand. The best would probably be Kat or Arthion.”

[wilburtanaka]

What are you best at?

“Nothing.”“I don’t know... maybe art? I don’t really have an answer to that question.”

[wilburtanaka]

How often do you help others? Who do you help? How do you help?

“I hope that I help others... I try to as often as I can, however I can... It just depends on the situation.”

Were you named after Charlottes web

“I don’t think so... I don’t think my mom has read Charlotte’s Web. I haven’t even read Charlotte’s Web.”

“It’s nice. It is also weird because it is no longer just my house.” She chuckled softly. “What about you, Wilbur? How have things been?” Kelsey asked as she turned on the tv and then the PS4. The werewolf switching from games over to Netflix. “A movie sounds good. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is on Netflix, are you cool with that?”

“Yeah... that makes sense. I had to get used to living with someone else again when me and Kat moved in together.” Wilbur admitted, but then shrugged at her question. “They’ve been good. I went back to school, so kind of busy.” He only had a few courses to finish up, it wasn’t like he was actually a full time student again. “Yeah, that sounds great. I haven’t seen that in years.”

A smile grew on his lips as he thought back to his childhood with Faendes.  “You could certainly say that.  She was always so lively, and we got into a fair bit of trouble in our time.”  Arthion’s smile grew at the suggestion.  “Sounds like a plan.”  The continued to move to the music, for a while simply enjoying each other’s company.  Eventually, the elf chimed in, “you know, you’re actually quite good at this.  Are you sure you never took lessons?”

Wilbur laughed as Arthion mentioned them getting into trouble as kids. “I can’t imagine you getting into any kinds of trouble.” He admitted softly. He was always so by the book... or at least, that was how he seemed. He moved to the music with the older elf, trying his hardest not to step on his feet. “Really?” He asked hesitantly, his eyes blinking behind the mask. “No, I never did. My mom taught me a bit when I was younger, but it’s like everything else... I don’t remember most of it.”

Iris tilted her head. “Oh? A couple of weeks? What has been going on?” Clearly she wasn’t the only one that was having problems in life.

Wilbur hesitated at her question before just shaking his head. “I just haven’t been sleeping as much, I guess... but it’s fine, I have assignments due, so that’s usually what I’m up doing.”

[wilburtanaka]

Iris stared at him before sighing. “Look…it’s fine.” The last thing she needed was making someone cry. She was upset and angry, and she shouldn’t make someone else feel that way. “I’ll get someone to clean it up.”

Wilbur paused at her words, his gaze moving from the floor to back up at her. “If you’re sure...” He said softly, swallowing hard and trying to regain his composure. “Sorry, it’s been a long couple of weeks.” Couple of months, really.

“Yeah.” She smiled. It had been a little bit different living with a roommate.  “And yeah, he did live with Rick. I think they were best friends.” She nodded before going into the kitchen and getting him some water. “You want to play any video games or just chill?”

“Do you like living with a roommate?” Wilbur asked curiously, hoping to make any conversation that wasn’t about him. It wasn’t so much that he minded talking about his own life, but it wasn’t that appealing as of late... he didn’t want her to worry. “Either one, doesn’t really matter to me. Maybe we could put on a movie?”

[wilburtanaka]

“I’ve been fine. I think I was able to give the city security systems the boost that they needed and that’s all I can really ask for.” She replied with a smile in return. “Matty. He moved in with me after his old roommate left town.” The blonde replied before asking, “Anything you want to drink?”

“Oh, that’s awesome.” Wilbur admitted with a bit of a nod, reaching down to pet the animals as he followed her into the house. “Right. Yeah, he lived with Rick before.” Wilbur hadn’t spoken of Rick in a long time... now that Arthion was in town, it was so strange to even think of Rick. “Just water would be fine.”

Pulling away from the hug, she grabbed on to Wilbur’s hand and made her way further into the house.  “Alright sugar, let’s get to work.”  This was going to be a good night, Danica was sure of it.

Wilbur smiled and nodded firmly, following her through the house and looking around. He always liked to see how people decorated and treated their homes... and although his nerves were still present, he was glad that someone like Danica was thinking about it too. “I haven’t really seen you as much lately, how have you been?” He asked curiously. Truth be told, it was mostly because he wasn’t leaving the house often, but he wasn’t going to say that.

Wilbur followed the other obediently to the dance floor, nodding as the other explained his dance experience. “That’s so early…” It seemed crazy, to start such a structured life so early. “Follow, I think… I don’t know the steps well enough to lead.”

He gives a tiny shrug, not at all phased by his life being controlled by his birth right.  “It wasn’t all that bad.  It could be pretty fun sometimes.  Faendes was my partner usually.”  Arthion nodded and placed a hand on Wilbur’s hip and grabbed the half-elf’s hand with the other.  “Leading isn’t too difficult.  I can always walk you through the steps if you want to give it a try.”  The music playing followed a beat you could fox-trot to, so he chose to go with that.  It was a fairly simple dance, something Wilbur should be able to follow without difficulty.

[wilburtanaka]

Wilbur had always been given a choice about everything... the fact that Arthion didn't almost made him sad. He didn't have any freedom, just what he was born to do. "Oh, that makes sense. I'm sure she was fun to grow up with." Even now, Faendes seemed rather bubbly. He was sure she would have been even more like that as a child. Wilbur put one of his hand's on the elf's shoulder, his other hand occupied with Arthion's. "Maybe when we're not in public?" He suggested, dancing with him as he started to move.

The half elf let out a small laugh and shook his head. “I’m all yours.” He said simply. “How old were you when they started you in dance lessons?” He asked curiously, fairly certain that would have been done in elven court.

“Great,” he said as he took Wilbur’s hand to lead him to the dance floor.  As they got closer he made a humming noise, trying to think back to his earliest dance lessons.  “Hmmm good question.  I must have been around 5 when the lessons begun.  Now, do you want to be the lead or follow?  I’m happy to be either.”

[wilburtanaka]

Wilbur followed the other obediently to the dance floor, nodding as the other explained his dance experience. "That's so early..." It seemed crazy, to start such a structured life so early. "Follow, I think... I don't know the steps well enough to lead."

“Oh, that’s true.” Whereas Wilbur’s mask hid barely none of his face, Arthion’s face was mostly covered. At the offer to dance, his smile only grew, and he nodded a couple times. “You’ll find I’m not very good at it… but sure.” It was great spending actual time with Arthion. For months, all they had done was send letters back and forth - and now there he was, right in front of him.

He shook his head, smile never leaving.  “All the better.  That means we can take the time to teach you.  Unless someone swoops in and steals you as a dance partner, then I’m helpless.”

Wilbur was glad that Arthion was so willing to spend time with him. Sure, he had people that he hung out with all the time - Kat, for one… but this was completely different. It was more than that, at least for him anyway. “Thank you.” He said with a bit of a laugh as the elf opened the door for him. “I’d never expect you to be bowing to me.” He teased.

He pointed at the masks with a grin.  “Tonight we can be whoever we want.  There are no expectations.  Speaking of which, would you like to dance?”  Tonight Arthion didn’t have to worry about appearances.  He could be himself, and not just the crown prince.
