[The view shows a sparse but freshly scrubbed room and a smiling Juliet.]

This home may be small, but I am well satisfied with it at the moment. I need to become better at the various ways of cleaning efficiently. I am unused to such things. But my limited skills have made a vast improvement upon this place, have they not?

[She brushes down

[The woman responding is dressed appropriately for the Tudor Era of England. She offers a vague smile.]

I would be willing to do this.

[capuletnomore]

[Juliet takes note of the clothing and, while she doesn't know much of England, notes the quality and style of the woman's garb. She smiles and bows her head briefly in return, recognizing some sort of noblewoman.]

That is most kind of you, my Lady. Please, whom do I have the honor of addressing?

[Video]

[marriedforlove]

I am Katherine, Queen of England.

[The title means less here, perhaps, but not nothing.]

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

[Juliet immediately drops to a low curtsy upon hearing her title.]

Your Majesty does me a great honor.

[thelonegenin]

Uh. It looks nice.

[capuletnomore]

[She smiles at the compliment.]

That is most kind of you to say, Naruto. I trust you are well?

[thelonegenin]

[That makes him smile, lifting a hand to rub the back of his neck.]

Eh, I'm okay. Bored, there's nothing t'do around here, 'ttebayo.

There is always something to do. There is cleaning, cooking, mending, visiting with friends.... You can do almost anything you like?

[She smiles, teasing.]

Or is it with you as it is with Tybalt, that you cannot choose from among all that you can do, and so opt to do nothing instead?

[coraltaijiya]

Ah, I'm sure I could find one for you.

[She's done quite a bit of scavenging these past few days and more likely than not, there's something like that laying around the house that she forgot about.]

...I do have something to be mended in return, however.

[She holds up a black bundle, her slayer's suit - she's wearing her civilian clothing right now, which escaped wear and tear in the Death Eater incident.]

[video]

[capuletnomore]

[She peers at the bundle, unsure of exactly what sort of clothing it is, but nods to the girl.]

I would be happy to exchange my skills for the favor of a needle and thread.

[video]

[coraltaijiya]

[In the time it's taken Juliet to respond, Sango had been rummaging in the vaguely organized piles around the house and has successfully procured the needle and thread in question.]

Thank you. I've found the supplies; is now a good time?

[Because, you know, she's got nothing else to do.]

[video]

[capuletnomore]

[She should ask Tybalt. She knows she should. But another girl who seems near her own age visiting is too tempting for her. If he doesn't want her going off on her own, then she is going to have company in.]

I will tell my cousin you are paying a visit. We live [x,y]. Whom shall I say is calling, miss?

I have such things. But I can fix cloths on my own. -=Not like there's much.=-

[capuletnomore]

You are a man of many skills, Mr. Starfyr. I can think of few men in my time who sew and mend.

[golden_hawke]

In my home, there are no tasks that are clearly for men or for women. -=small smile=- Though some people will forever be better suited for one task and not another.

[capuletnomore]

[This idea boggles her mind.]

Truly? Your America grows more fascinating with everything I learn of it. Would that I could see it one day.

[She smiles in return.]

That is true enough.

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

I am certain I will improve with practice. One cannot become master of anything overnight.

[Again, she smiles at the compliment.]

Thank you, Spike. That is most kind of you to say.

I am beginning to have quite an appreciation for all that the servants do at home. Upkeep on a small place such as this will keep me well occupied. I cannot imagine what it would be like to try and maintain a household as large as the Capulet home, especially to the standards Father and Mother set.

You have been in my position, having to learn all of this? [This only endears him to her more.] Did you find it difficult when you first began?
