Thread: An Animal's Trust (DarknessEmbraced666 & TekN0!!!)

Seraphina was such a good child, doing her very best to respect and honor her deceased parents. She respected her willingness and determination. Everyone knew that and did the same. With a small sigh, she nodded her head. Right. No need to worry about him. Although fancy pants business is getting to cut into your study time, I'll take the liberty of informing your teachers that you have a pressing matter to attend to. She said with a smile, nodding joyfully. Oh, but that poor lad will be so sad you're not there. You know, I think he has a liking to you. Oh, that man did very little to hide the affectionate gazes he sent her way. She was so engrossed in her lessons though that she practically gave him too many opportunities to swoon over her! With a playful grin, she leaned in and whispered in her ear. Between you and me, I think you could probably land someone better. She winked and covered her mouth as she chuckled again. Nothing like girl talk. Tilting her head to the side, she looked at the dress. Hm, perhaps you're right, Princess. Wait just a moment, I'll go have a look see. She scurried to her wardrobe and began searching for said dress. Green... green... green... aha! Pulling out the lovely fabric, she could never stop smiling in awe when she held the dress. With the morning sunshine casting a spotlight on the dress, the golden embroidery made it shimmer and shine. Draped across her arms neatly so as not to create any creases, the head maid brought it before Seraphina and held it out to her. This is a much better choice. Sad to see that you have to go to a meeting in it. It looks like a dress made more suitable for going to a ball. She said with a rather sad look. Back when her parents were alive and times were well, they had a good few amount of friendly gatherings and balls throughout the year. Nowadays, it would be surprising to fit even one in. After she took it, the head maid went towards the door. Since we're in a rush, perhaps I should grab your plate. Go ahead and get ready, dear. I'll be just a moment. Don't you dare leave without eating breakfast! She warned as she was out the door, picking up her dress so she could move faster. You may be a young and vibrant at your age, but without breakfast, you'll barely making it through the first hours of the day! Her voice soon faded out as she was somewhere down the hall and probably around a corner somewhere. The last sound heard was the joyful chuckle of the woman. She didn't take too long, however. When she returned, there was an ornate plate in her hands, decorated with intricate and beautiful designs. The plate was filled with a yummy pastry, but as well as fruit to get her going. Seraphina shouldn't be too full, lest she doze off during that meeting, so accompanying the meal was a small glass of water. Light, but it would quench her thirst hopefully should the fruit fail to do so. I won't let you leave till it's all gone, either. The woman teased as she set it down on her desk, setting her mind on what items to clean and dust in Seraphina's room. She almost seemed completely focused on it, almost forgetting that they were both in the room. Oh my, I can't believe I didn't notice the time of year. The head maid had an even bigger smile on her face. Just a couple more weeks, and it'll be your birthday! She spoke it with such glee and excitement, clapping her hands. Now, it won't be like last year where you were stuck studying. I'll make sure to have a beautiful cake prepared for you. And I'll see if I can persuade your teachers to let you off the hook. Well, one of them will be more than happy to cancel the day if he's celebrating with you, I'm sure. Another light chuckle. Oh my, and a gift! She went on and on, so excited to hear that the girl she cared for since birth really was becoming more and more of a young woman. It made her proud, really. Very much so.
