Sumika raised a brow. "You might as well get some meat on your bones. You're as skinny as a stick." She rolled her eyes. "If you need anything, just pull on the string beside your bed. A servant or myself will come and aid you. The kind requested for your safety that you not leave your room until his meeting with the generals and nobles are over. They would surely pounce on you the moment they see you." She says, flicking some white hair from her face. She didn't look amused at the slightest when the tiger purred and snuggled with Aliana.
Aliana turned to glance at the string then back up at the vampire as she spoke. "Okay. Am I allowed out when the generals and nobles leave?" She wanted to go down into the gardens again and look around the big palace. All of it was really pretty now that she was past her fear. She looked down at the tiger with a smile and moved closer to him, leaning against him.
"What is this tiger's name? It is very friendly," She cooed to Blizzard, rubbing his fur with her free hand.
She raised her brow but nodded. "Yes. Once the generals leave, you may come out of your room. But I would advise you to never enter the library without permission. The king spends most of his time there." She says, shaking her head. She looks around and sighs. "The tiger? That's Blizzard. The king's tiger. He's rather comfortable with you."
Aliana nodded cutely up at the other vampire, giving her a small, thankful smile. "Thank you very much. May I ask one more question? Where is the library?" Though she wanted to talk to her king more and see his kind face, she didn't want to disturb him and get sent to her death. He would most certainly kill her in one deft blow, by the sound of Sumika's voice.
Sumika raised a brow. "It's in the east wing. But do not enter unless given permission from me or my brother." She says stiffly. She brushed some hair from her face. "Now. The king has requested that you join him for dinner this evening. So. It is my job to get you groomed and prepared for that. You too, kitty." At that, Blizzard perks and gave a quiet mewl in sadness. She smirked at that before looking Aliana.
Aliana's face split into a little smile at the invitation, nodding a little. "Can you thank him for the dress and robe? They are very nice, I think I look very good in them!" She stood up and set her plate down, twirling for the female vampire and then grinning back up at her.
"What do you think?" Even though Aliana was in her twenties, she didn't really have this kind of attention when she was a kid. She enjoyed the fancy clothes and the dinner invitations. It was the life of a vampirc teenager, not a human adult.
She nods. "I will let the king know you are grateful for the clothes." She states before looking at the woman as she twirled. Sumika smirked a little. "It looks pleasant. Frames your figure nicely." She looked around, starting when Blizzard nudges her leg. She looks down at the tiger before petting his head. She offered a tiny smile. "Now. I am going to go and attend the meeting. Do not come out of your room until I come and get you." She says sternly.
Aliana blushed and giggled at the compliment. "Thank you! Will I be able to dress up to meet the king?" She asked, imaging poofy dresses and cute hairstyles for him, not to mention glittery, bright gems. "Oh-oh yes I'll stay here!" She vowed loyally, smiling brightly up at the woman. She bowed a little and sat back down with a big toothy grin. She didn't really have the brightest smile, and her teeth were rather crooked.
Sumika nods and smiled faintly, "Yes. It is rare for the king to have dinner in the dining hall, so we don't wish to disappoint." She says. "I'll have a maid come in later tonight and help." She tucks some of Aliana's blonde hair from her face. "Now. There are some rules." She says, pulling her hand back. "No leaving the palace unless accompanied by the king or myself. The creatures of the forest will eat you without a second thought. Do not go into the library. You may explore the castle, but keep Blizzard with you. That's it." She says simply.
(uhhh this is a one-on-one.)
(Ah, sorry. I forgot to close it. This is a one on one. Sorry love.)
Sumika nods and smiled faintly, "Yes. It is rare for the king to have dinner in the dining hall, so we don't wish to disappoint." She says. "I'll have a maid come in later tonight and help." She tucks some of Aliana's blonde hair from her face. "Now. There are some rules." She says, pulling her hand back. "No leaving the palace unless accompanied by the king or myself. The creatures of the forest will eat you without a second thought. Do not go into the library. You may explore the castle, but keep Blizzard with you. That's it." She says simply.
"Really?? That's it?" She asked squeakily, her eyes gleaming brightly. "Thank you so much!" She jumped up and hugged the vampire, giggling. She liked Sumika. She was nice and not so much as a predator as the other vampires. She pulled away from the vampire, her cheeks red. She bowed hastily again, bringing her hands to her face.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself."
Sumika starts at the hug, not necessarily used to contact with humans, vampires, or otherwise. She awkwardly pats Aliana's head. "Yes. well. You're welcome." She sighed softly before dusting herself off. "You really should be thanking my brother. You can do that tonight." She shook her head. "It's quite alright. I've just rarely made human contact." She replies as she runs a hand through her hair.
(Would you like to skip to the meal?)
Would you mind? Sorry I'm doing like 20 things at once)
(Sure! Sorry about the wait.)
Aliana waited patiently in her room. She hadn't gone wandering around because Sumika never got her, so she was stuck in the room. She cracked open the window a little when she got too warm in her clothes, but quickly shut out the cold and snuggled up next to Blizzard. Then she remembered the shower and went to take that. And she was left curled up in a towel with her hair slicked down and smelling pleasantly of roses as she waited for the servant to come and assist her into a dress, which she hadn't even gotten yet. She hoped she got a really pretty blue oneβ or a green. She would settle for any dress, but she liked the bright colors of the forest she lived near as a kid. She was stuck stroking Blizzard and contemplating the rest of her food, which she only ate about half of before getting full. She wasn't used to getting so much food!
There was a soft knock and a maid entered slowly. Her hair was an indigo color, and reached down to her mid back. Her eyes were as red as rubies. "Miss. My name is Ella. I'll be your maid." She says quickly, flourishing a beautiful blue dress with intricate gold designs along it. It was long sleeved and v-necked. She also had a pair of simple blue flats. She gave a fanged smile before walking to her side. "Now. Shall we get you ready?"
Aliana looked up and sat up slowly, blinking at her maid. She smiled back at her and gave a small bow in greeting.
"I'm Aliana, it's very nice to have you working with me!" She exclaimed in a chipper tone, hopping down off of the bed to grin up at her. "I would like to get ready, yes please! Am I allowed to pick my own dress? Oh, I like the dress a lot, too. And the other blue things are nice too!"
The dress is hers. Sorry should have clarified that!//
(Alright a small edit for you there. Tell me if it's not enough.)
