[A long, loud, exhausted sigh. And the sound of someone flopping onto a mattress.]

Some customers should really learn how to make up their minds. I've got better things to do than run to the kitchen and back again just because people can't decide what to eat or drink!

Ugh. [Muffled. Someone just face-pillowed.]

Comments

[naivelysanguine]

Are you...alright?

[She can't help but be concerned for the girl; it's simply in her nature to care for others.]

I'm sorry that people make your job harder by being so indecisive. That seems like it would be quite the unpleasant situation.

[dedikayted]

[Sigh.] Yeah, I am.

I don't mind waiting around while customers think about what they want, as long as they stick to it.

[naivelysanguine]

That certainly is a relief to hear!

Mmm. I... suppose that there are quite a few people that just don't consider other people's feelings when they act. I hope it gets better for you!

[dedikayted]

I hope so too. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

[naivelysanguine]

That's always a good way to look at things.

Oh! Please forgive me for being so terribly rude. I'm Euphemia li Britannia.

[dedikayted]

Nice to meet y -

[Pause. A very noticeable pause.]

Britannia?

[naivelysanguine]

[An equally noticeable pause. This one of confusion.]

Yes. Are you...a friend of one of my brothers? Or perhaps a fan of Clovis' art?...

[dedikayted]

Ummm...uh... [Britannia...that name...but if Kay acted wrongly at the wrong time, everything could fall like a line of dominoes. Her cover would be blown, and it would be very difficult to stuff everything back ]

I've heard of them. And I've seen some of his art...

[Sure, when she was undercover.]

[naivelysanguine]

Oh. That's lovely! I wasn't aware that our family was so famous.

There's no need to be shy! I don't bite, I promise. [A small giggle.]

[dedikayted]

[Stuff everything back into...well, normalcy and all. Something like that. But Euphemia seemed genuinely...unaware of what her brothers were really up to. Was she?]

I'm Kay. Kay Faraday.

[naivelysanguine]

Well Kay, I think that's a lovely name! And it certainly is a pleasure to meet you.

[dedikayted]

Thanks! You really think my name is nice?

[naivelysanguine]

Oh, yes, I think it's wonderful! It's very simple, yet charming. And not to mention quite hard to mess up. [An airy laugh.]

[dedikayted]

Well, your name is pretty too! Euphemia, right? I hope I said it right...

[naivelysanguine]

Thank you very much. Oh, yes, that's right! Quite a few people get it wrong, but that was perfect. But you can call me Euphie if you'd like, it's what all of my friends and family call me!

[dedikayted]

All right! So...what's it like having brothers?
