Aero listen to her and shook his head when she teased him for the first time. He chuckled, which was cut off short when
she spoke about her death. He frowned at that and stopped walking. His gaze rested on her figure, as he tries to figure what to say. "Shouldn't say that. As my future bride and queen,.." Aero started. "I won't let you die before me." He finished, feeling a bit hurt. He shook the emotion off and continue to walk. Aero thought there for a second and came up with an idea. "We can go into the town tomorrow and check the pet stores. Maybe something will catch your eye? Plus, it will allow you to meet the different animals and get a positive look on them fro one of the expert vets and shop clerks." Aero offered. "Ha, am not feminine like." He replied. He wasn't a bit upset anymore, In fact, this angel is actually making him more open. "Alright, thank you for understanding," Aero replied. He let her up to the empty stables and stopped, turning to her. "I'll have to take my leave now, but my sister is most likely inside with someone watching her. Feel free to bug her or talk to the servants. They have stories to share anyways." Aero stated, hoping that they do not share say anything about him when he was a small child.

She smiled from the shake of his head but she stopped when he did. She listened to his words and she nodded slowly. She didn’t know exactly what to say so she didn’t. She didn’t want to upset him. The sa slolk he have made her upset so she decided to keep her pipe shut about the topic. She follows him once again when he began to walk and she looked around at the floating lanterns before turning her attention to him. “Oh. That sounds quite delightful. I’d love to go with you whenever you’d like.” She agreed, stopping at the stables. She nodded to him as she listened carefully and made a few mental notes. “Alright. I will see you later tonight then?” She asked, glancing back to look inside he stables. Her plan was to simply go inside the castle and read. She wasn’t one to communicate with strangers unless it was truly needed to, or if she saw them as somewhat pure. Though, she might go and see Alice to learn more about her and her Brothers.

xxxxxAero nodded and made a mental note to keep that in mind. "Tomorrow then." He stated and gave a slight nod to her question."I should be back for dinner, if not, then right after it. I would suggest you eat soon, skipping meals isn't healthy." Aero started. Without thinking, he gave a slight bow of his head before turning on his heels and leaving the stable grounds. When Aero realized what he did, he grumbled. His mother's habits really stuck to him. She often told him to bow his head when leaving a lady. Sighing, Aero soon made his way out of the castle grounds.

xxxxx"Ah! Lady Alice!" A maid called, as she followed after the young child. All she got in return was giggles, and the maid sighed."Shame that she must watch Alice.." Someone murmured from her side. She glanced over to see two servants cleaning the floors. "Quite. Lady Alice is quite troublesome when she doesn't have her brothers around." The other replied. The main frowned and stopped. "Please, do not disrespect Lady Alice!"She snapped, and the two shut their mouths. The main turned back to see Alice was gone and she let out a sigh and went on a hunt for Alice. Turning down another hall, she saw a door open and frowned. Alice has gone into the office. "Lady Alice, please, you are not allowed in here without your brothers." She stated as she pushed the door open. Alice was looking up at the books only to turn around and skip over to the desk. "I wanna write a note to big brother!"Alice replied. "Well.. Alright, if you wish but please do hurry, Lady Alice." The maid replied. The maid her way over to the desk, and peered over Alice to see her writing about father and ice cream. Alice suddenly stops and frowns. "Jasmine." She murmured. "Yes, Lady Alice?" She replied. "Do you think father will return home?" She asked. "Possibly," Jasmine replied. Alice frowned even more before going back to writing. "Alice.." the maid stated, this more quietly. A habit the maid picked up when they are alone. "If you promise to stay here, I'll fetch us something to snack on. Alright?" Alice looked up and gave a goofy smile. "Oh, I promise!" Alice replied. Jasmine smiled and pat her head before heading to the door. "Alright. Please stay here."Jasmine stated and left the room. Alice watched her go and sat down in the seat, looking up at the photo for a second before down at the note.

“Perfect. Ah, do not worry. We do not eat much in my kingdom. One bowl of soup is probably as far as it goes. Everyone is very thin there. It is a bit upsetting to see this. Though~I am one to sneak food all my life... and my Mother never understood why i weighed more than others. It is only because I ate so much in my free time.” She smiled to him and giggled lightly from his nod before he disappeared into the darkness. She turned a certain direction to where the castle was and she began to make her way there. Once she entered the beautiful palace, she glanced around. No one. She began to walk around before she head giggling. Alicia’s curiouslity took over as she began to make her way over. She peered past the door and into the office to see Alice, writing. “Oh. Hello Alice.” Alicia smiled and leaned up against the doorway. She crossed her arms and glanced around the room. She wasn’t sure if she could go inside so she kept her feet planted in the hall. She looked over to a wall to see a portrait of the past King. She furrowed her brow a bit before looking back to Alice. “What are you writing love?”

[nocтιѕ;]

Alice looked up to see Alicia and she gave the brightest smile and jumpednout of the chair, running over to her. "Alicia! Oh, I was writing about ice cream."
Alice replied. It was more than ice cream, it was also her trying to remember father and her memories. "Come,
Come and read it!" She stated, grabbing her hand and led her over to the desk. "I'm leaving it for big brother in hopes he gets more ice cream." She stated. Alice climbed up the chair and grabbed the pen once more, as she scribbled something else on the paper. Once done, she lifted the paper to Alicia to let her read.

[Trots]

“Oh! Hold on.” Alicia caught up with Alice and she looked down to the paper. Once it was up to her face, she squinted her eyes and tried to read the dribbles, but finally sighed and smiled, giving it down to Alice. “My eyesight is not great. Do you think you could read it for me, dear?” Alicia asked carefully, unsure if she hurt the girls feelings. It was true. She needed reading glasses. She never could see well. She even had to use human products. ‘Contacts’ to see better. Without them, she’d be as blind as a bat.

[nocтιѕ;]

Alice watch her try to read her paper, and frowned a little, not understanding for a split second. Though, she figured it out and gave a slight nod. "That is alright, Alicia! Should we get you some glasses?" She questioned before taking the paper gently and looking down at it. She reads over it, and let out a small huff, not sure how to start it. Instead, she skipped almost all about her father and went straight to the ice cream part. "Father always said ice cream made sweet moments, possibly we can go and get ice cream?" Alice stated, reading her question. She set the paper on the desk and turned to face, tilting her head just a little. "Do you like ice cream? Oh! We should all go if you do!" She asked. Alice jumped down and made her way over to the wall of books and looks up at them. "Do you like reading? Brother has a lot of books, wish to read one?" Alice asked, looking over her shoulder to Alicia.

[Trots]

Alicia watched her and slowly began to smile. “Thank you love, though, I have my own pair in my bags. I’d just have to get them... wherever my bags may be.” She shrugged and listened to Alice, smiling even more than she already had been. “Oh yes! Ice cream is quite delicious. Of course I’d like to go and get ice cream with you guys. I wouldn’t mind that at all. What flavors do you have here? We only have vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry sadly. Nothing else.” Alicia watched Alice scatter to the ground and she smiled gently. “Oh I do. I do, I love to read, but really I can read the ones in the library, no? I would not like to steal books from his office. He might not like that.”

[nocтιѕ;]

"Your bags must be in your room. I can take you there if you would like me to do so?" Alice questioned, as she looked over her shoulder once more. "Flavours.." Alice mumbled and stopped looking at the books to think. "Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberries," She started listing but stopped. "I have seen more but I never remember their names.."She explained. "Maybe tomorrow? If I convince Aero?" Alice asked, turning around to her, a smile on her face. "I suppose you can, but I never once saw nor heard Aero mad if someone reads a book in his office," Alice replied, looking at some of the titles. "Though, all seems boring" She huffed and gave a slight frown. Alice then looked up at Alicia and fixed that frown with yet a smile. "Do you like it here? I hope so. Are you staying here for good? Or just visiting?" Alice questioned. "Is it true that you are getting married to my brother? Are you okay with this?"

[Trots]

“Oh, that would be wonderful love. But I am alright for now. I am going to head to the library soon if you’d like to join. I’m trying to find hidden stories in the palace. Like an adventure. Do you like adventures?” Alicia smiled and tilted her head before shaking it. “That’s alright. Also~we probably can tomorrow! Your Brother said we’d go to the pet shop... so maybe after or on the way there we could get ice cream.” Alivia hummed happily and she looked at the books, reading a few names. “Well...” She took one and she held it close to her body. “This one might be helpful. I don’t know all your tongue so this could help me learn.” She admitted quietly before looking down to Alice. “Oh sweetheart. I actually love it here. Your warm welcome has made me come to enjoy it. Also, I’m hoping I could stay. I’m not sure what your brother will want... and yes. We are getting married. I am okay with it. Your Brother sounds like a very sweet man, even if he tries to hide it. I just need to break his wall. Once I do that... I think I will get him away from the idea that he is simply a ‘demon’. Maybe he’ll be happier?” Alicia furrowed her brow and offered her hand to Alice for if she wanted to go to the library with her.
