Thread: Princess & Alchemist of the Bang (Fancy_Sakura)

It was not surprising that someone like Clarisse would be so naive about her position. Then again, it wasn't as if she could really get any information about slavery and its developments over the years. And being as she had rarely left the safety of her home sweet home, she did not know of where they had ended up. In their devious hit and run, Salvial had carried her all the way into the kingdom of Armestriest, where the practice of slavery was permitted, even encouraged. With her current status as his slave, she wouldn't get off that easily even if he had been taken away and executed. Chances were, she'd just end up in the same situation as before getting trained until she was ready to be sold to a willing buyer. Of course, she had not thought about those sort of consequences. She didn't seem like the kind that would think things out herself, as she always had people making decisions for her. After her little response, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed with his expression. He had been looking at her in a similar manner for most of the time they were together, and she didn't enjoy being looked down upon. For him, a common man to be looking down on her while she was a noble! He would easily argue that she was not really a noble in her position as his slave. She let out a little sigh with his little nickname for her. There really wasn't anything she could do to stop him from calling her that now was there? For now, she'd just have to bear with it. Luckily, she had somebody around that she could get some enjoyment out of being with. She was quite bewildered with the little fairy flying around her, but as with just about everyone, she wished she could be a little quieter. Perhaps it was Clarisse's natural abilities as a neko to respond quickly to Elena flying about. While she didn't have too much trouble dodging the tiny missile, she did get rather tired of doing so eventually. While she did not know of Elena being a partner to Salvial, she could understand that, seeing as she wasn't afraid to speak her mind to him. Of course, the same could be said for Clarisse, though her words didn't have much priority now. She was a little confused as to why they seemed so hesitant with her asking for Salvial's name. Was it really that difficult of a question to answer? And despite her expecting a simple answer, she got something else entirely. Ugh...I should have expected as much. How silly of me to think I would get your name right away. She grumbled softly as she fell back on the ground, watching the two of them get into another little argument. Again, she was glad to see that Elena appeared to be on her side. Perhaps it was that bond of being young women. Then again, she wasn't sure how fairies aged. She certainly looked like she was young. Maybe she'd ask about that a little later. As easily as Clarisse could eavesdrop on their conversation, they started talking in a different language. She always wanted to try and at least learn another language, though she had not been allowed to. Well, it would be rude of her to try and interrupt them just because she wanted to know what they were saying. She just waited patiently for them to finish talking between themselves, perking up a little with Elena now fluttering over to her. Important business huh? She went ahead and moved over a little closer to where he was. Well, I can't really help it. You already know the reason for that don't you? He had already figured out she was a noble. Her eyes followed his finger on the map, trying her best to make heads and tails of it. Though as simple as it should have been for her to understand the map, she wasn't really familiar with the area outside of her kingdom. Armestriest? That name does ring a bell. That may have been one of those kingdoms my father was talking about. He didn't really seem to enjoy talking about them, so I guess it's not surprising considering they openly practice slavery. There weren't too many kingdoms around that were against slavery, so he'd probably be able to guess where she was from eventually. Of course. We know our kind are rather popular among slavers. Gallia has made an effort to try and save our kind from slavers and have them reside with us. She wasn't aware of the wars between kingdoms, but with the mention of orcs and the like, it made her think back to her marriage. Now that she thought about it, she didn't think anything good could come out of that. Gal'thul and the others under him would most likely be able to overpower Gallia's military, and the marriage between them didn't guarantee any peace. Ugh...I get it already. I'd rather not think about that happening right now. It was during that time that she was glad to rather be with him then getting captured. But she still wasn't sure what he had in mind for her. Well, it's not like I intended to turn out as a slave in the first place... As a noble, she was so used to having things go her way without any question. She wasn't used to having to humble herself, but she wasn't in her kingdom anymore. She didn't have her servants to go about and carry out her will anymore. In an odd turn of events, she had found herself as the servant. She turned to see Elena taking a spot on her shoulder, giving her a little smile. She turned back to Salvial, going ahead and questioning who she was exactly, knowing she was a noble. But there was more to her than that. Well...I guess I'd have to tell you eventually. Either that, or you'd just find out yourself. She carefully stood back up, dusting herself off. After checking to see that she was more or less appropriate-looking, she went about with her introduction. As I've said before, my name is Clarisse Vira Elsimaral, only daughter of King Marcus Elsimaral and Queen Miranda Elsimaral. I reside from the kingdom of Gallia. As for my clothes, these belong to one of my servants back home. I was to be married to the orc leader Gal'thul this morning, though I had no intention of giving myself to some brute like that. So, I had slipped out of my wedding dress and changed into my servant's clothes. And with that, I fled up until I was captured. And from there, I'm sure you know the rest. She gave him a rather interesting stare, as if expecting something for her telling him all this. Well, I've gone ahead and told you everything haven't I? Wouldn't the proper response be to tell me just who you are? It seemed that she'd probably have to wait for that from him though. She noticed him glancing over to Elena, who was still propped comfortably on Clarisse's shoulder. What could he possibly be thinking? While she didn't expect to get an answer right away, she could see that Elena was quite thrilled about the idea. The...object? She jumped a little with Elena flying off, now circling around Salvial even quicker than usual. She expected another excited rant from her, and that was just what they got. She almost had to cover her ears at the little fairy's sudden outburst, but luckily it didn't last very long. Though the little chant of Elena's did make her a little curious. Just who would this new friend be anyway? Surely they weren't referring to Clarisse were they? Even if she was to be a part of this odd group, she wasn't necessarily seeing them as 'friends'. All Clarisse could do was wait and see what they were planning. With Elena started to glow, she noticed the object starting to form upon Salvial's hand, which was starting to take on the form of a large egg of some sort. Was this the 'object' that they were talking about? And of course, she had to wonder what would be inside that egg. What sort of creature would hatch from it. the other thought was that he'd simply be using it to cook food, which didn't really sit well with Clarisse right now. She almost went and tried to catch Elena herself, but stopped herself when Salvial did it himself. It was certainly a little odd to see him talk so kind to Elena compared to all the times they had argued, but it was refreshing to see that even he could be like that. She stared curiously at the egg, now seeing Salvial offering it right to her. Huh? You're...going to give this to me? It was rather surprising, seeing how precious it looked. As she expected, there was more to this egg than she though. Fairy egg? Is that how they come about? she thought, cautiously reaching out to take the egg in her hands. It wasn't as heavy as she thought it would be, but she was still very careful holding it. Is it really fine for you to give this to me? It seems like a really big deal to be bound to a fairy. If it was true that mainly elves were with fairies, she'd be one of the few outside of elves to have her own. She wasn't even sure what she'd do once it did hatch. It would be nice to have another fairy floating around. They'd most likely get along really well with Elena, and it would almost be like having a servant again, but she found it hard to think of them like that. Well, I suppose I could give it a try... For a minute or so, she was just staring at the egg, not exactly sure where to go from here. Uh...and just how do I go about with this? Do I have to chant something or boil it or what...? She really was not sure where to go from here, and so she would turn to him for direction. She figured she'd have to get used to relying on him for now, as he was her Master now.
