Always watching you

[jealousyborn]

[In this room, palace-girl!Beryl is watching an Endymion and Serenity together -- who shall remain NPCs for now, although other versions of them are free to drop by to confuse her. Anyone who wants to catch her spying is welcome, too]

[Like a ninja from behind.]

What are you doing?

[jealousyborn]

[oh so caught. have some flustered flailing. she bows quickly]

Mercury-sama! It's- it's nothing!

[boundtowater]

What is this 'sama' business? [Confused Princess is confused.] Who are you?

[jealousyborn]

[bows her head again as she introduces herself]

I'm Beryl, Mercury-sama.

[Jadeite is quiet in his approach. He's a little disoriented at the familiar but distant surroundings. He notices the red hair and steps more confidently.]

Beryl- [Something stops him from adding the honorific, he looks at her curiously. She looks...younger. Much. Younger.]

[jealousyborn]

[have a startled Beryl. caught!]

Jadeite-sama!!

[kaminomizoshiru]

[A pause. A long pause, at that.]

'sama'?

[Bloody hell. Mental headdesk is go. He bows to her, maybe out of habit more than anything else.]

[jealousyborn]

[Absolute blank look as he bows to her]

Jadeite...sama? Are you feeling well? Should I call the physicians?

[jealousyborn]

[Caught! She turns around immediately, ready to stammer out a reply when she realizes who has caught her. This is not Beryl's lucky day for avoiding getting trampled on by the greats.]

Zoisite-sama!!

[She really can't do anything but obey]

Of course. I will go at once.

[jealousyborn]

Yes, Zoisite-sama?

[The question seems simple, palace servant attending to the great shitennou, but the apparent mild confusion belies absolute surprise: someone remembered her name.]
