"Do you want her to?" The kestrel hopped to a closer tree, waiting for Charlie's permission or lack thereof.
"Could she just check on him?" Charlie finally said after a moments pause. She knew that she shouldn't always be looking over August, and that he deserved more freedom, but fear of losing him got to her.
The bird swooped over Charlie's head as a way of saying yes, then turned and headed in the direction August had went. She looked for awhile before finding him at the river, playing with a cat. She landed in a tree just across from him.
August noticed a flash of movement and noticed the bird. He smiled a bit and walked towards it, the cat following him.
She tilted her head and cawed a little as a greeting.
Chakuro looked over at Charlie, smiling. "That ball is soon. All of you must get to your rooms."
"Any other information about these balls?" Genie asked Chakuro.
Chakuro looked over at Charlie, smiling. "That ball is soon. All of you must get to your rooms."
"A ball?" Charlie wrinkled her nose slightly as she thought about wearing a dress. She had never quite liked them and the people who wanted to kill her were putting this whole thing together.
"No, I don't really have much info, but um..the ball answers questions and such."
August smiled more, looking at the birds beak as it opened and closed. He could vaguely remember what it sounded like. Loosing concentration, the cat vanished.
"Wonderful," Genie sighed, "Do you know where are rooms are since I don't think Gabby or I know."
( Do you guys want it to be a masquerade ball?)
(And August is so adorable rn :D )
(August is my innocent, sweet summer child. Hate to say that things may get worse for him…)
(August is my innocent, sweet summer child. Hate to say that things may get worse for him…)
( cries )
"I don't know." Chakuro glanced at the castle, "I guess you guys should just follow me?"
(August is my innocent, sweet summer child. Hate to say that things may get worse for him…)
( cries )
Oh, really?
(drops another bout of pain on Chakuro)
(tortures him)
(HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA)
(STAHP!)
"Works for me," Genie replied.
( I literally already planned out Charlie's dress/mask xD. God, I'm weird )
"Lead the way then." Charlie replied as she stood up, waiting to follow him. She hoped that Noa knew where August was.
August smiled more, looking at the birds beak as it opened and closed. He could vaguely remember what it sounded like. Loosing concentration, the cat vanished.
Noa really wished she could sign right now. Internally sighing, she began the painful shift out. Here's to hoping I don't rip my skin this time. After a moment, Noa sat on the branch, skintight leotard and tights on.
Chakuro nodded and reached for Charlie's hand, thinking nothing of it until he realized it was a total flirt thing to do. He quickly let go and moved forward, heading into the castle.
August’s eyes widened, and he let out a surprised yelp, stumbling backwards.
Genie followed after Chakuro.
Charlie blushed as Chakuro took her hand, but it was hard to see against against her tanner skin. She tried to maintain her usual composure, but it was hard. She could practically hear her heart beating.
"Sorry, sorry!" She said sheepishly, holding her hands out. "I forgot how surprising that can be. The only person I ever really did it around was Noelle and she never got freaked out."
Chakuro smiled and he led them to a room. "I imagine that this is where you change?"
Charlie looked around the room quietly, looking at all the finely dressed nobles and maids milling around. Chests and intricately carved closets filled the empty space of the room. Everyone was beautiful. She had never felt so out of place.
