Who: Princess Elena and You!
What: Loss shenanigans.
When: This afternoon. 10/09
Where: The kitchen.
Rating: So very G, unless someone has a potty mouth! Then maybe it'll change later. She is practically a Disney Princess, there is no swearing ever.

When Elena woke up this morning she was on a mission.

She was going to find her room in the castle, perhaps find some clothing that might have been left there for her and then she was going to sneak into the kitchen to marvel at it. She has essentially finished the first and second parts of her plan so, as of now, Elena is walking through the lobby to get to her final destination. Ah, yes, it was time to admire technology at its finest. The kitchen here makes her own appear to be severely lacking which says a great deal considering she lives in a freaking castle.

"Something to instantly warm foods, a box that will keep things fresher longer and.. what is this? C-o-l-a. Cola. What a curious looking beverage.. oh! Oh, no!"

While turning the can of cola every which way, she somehow manages to drop it in such a way that it knocks something else off of the shelf, a jar of jam, so that it shatters at her feet. In the end all she can do is shoot the fridge a dejected sort of look. Then when she picks the can up it, as if on perfect cue, explodes when she unintentionally pops the tab open. Seriously. What is her luck lately? Her pretty dress is ruined.

"This cannot be happening.."

Sweets is wandering in to make himself something quick for breakfast, and arrives in time to see the soda explode. It's actually ... a pretty common occurrence where he's from -- more for prank reasons than for anything else. He can also tell by the dress that she might not be familiar with the properties of a soda can.

"Shake it up too much before you opened it?" he offers sympathetically, reaching for one of the hand towels to help her clean up. "Soda can be tricky that way."

Elena heaves a sigh but, luckily, that's about the time Sweets walks in so she doesn't feel quite as silly as she did before. It helps to learn that this soda can be tricky, as he said. She is quick to claim another towel so she can make the process move along a little faster.

Plus? This soda feels absolutely terrible against her skin, she kind of wants to run upstairs and change -- but manners first! While cleaning the floor, she directs a sheepish smile his way.

"On the contrary, I only dropped it! I've not had the best luck since my arrival here. Perhaps I am simple still getting used to the surroundings, so I am.. nervous? Yes! That must be it."

Yes. That explained it perfectly! Right? Right.

"That's perfectly normal. A lot of people have a hard time adjusting to the castle right away." He continued to help her clean up the mess before standing up and flashing her a smile. "At least you didn't blow up the microwave."

Once the mess is dealt with, she straightens up and gives him a questioning sort of look. The microwave, which one of these were called that? She directs her gaze around the kitchen before her smile becomes sheepish.

"I am afraid I'm not well-versed on the names of the items in this kitchen."

"Oh!" he says with a nod, before looking over the different appliances. He moves through each one, placing his hand on it as he does. "Refridgerator. Microwave, coffee maker, toaster, oven."

He pauses for a moment, looking around to make sure that he heard everything. "I think that's everything."

Every time he names something, she nods and attempts to commit the word to memory. Once the mini-tour is over she smiles and bows her head.

"You have my thanks. But I do believe I touched something on the microwave, however! It made a strange noise, one I have never heard before.."

She looks a tad uneasy. DID I BREAK IT, SWEETS? ;;

YOU DID NOT BREAK IT. Or ... probably not. Sweets turns and looks at the screen, before pressing another button and clearing the screen with a beep!

"All the buttons on the microwave beep. It's one of the features."

Elena looks a little surprised when the microwave makes the same noise it had when she had touched it. Ah, so it was a completely normal occurrence. She sighs, clearly relieved, then offers him a grateful smile.

"I see! What a curious device. And this is used to make food?"

"More to warm it up than to actually cook it. I mostly used it for my leftovers back home. We're more likely to use the oven for actual cooking."

Zelos had no trouble asking the ghosts to cook his meals and do his other chores. After all, it was like having servants all over again...if not a bit on the disturbing side. He would ask Colette and Lloyd about them later to make sure it wasn't another deal like the Exspheres.

But even if he had the ghosts serve him hand and foot, Zelos enjoyed taking trips down to the kitchen on occasion. He had little to do in his time so there was nothing like killing time, especially when one could possibly see what lovely ladies this world had to offer.

As such as one that seemed to be in distressed when he enters the kitchen.

"Oh dear. What happened, my lady?"

Elena is going to be so surprised when she actually meets a ghost face to face. Until then, she's finding it is simple enough to get things for herself. It isn't as if she is a completely lazy princess, after all. The second she hears the unfamiliar voice, she momentarily directs a deer-in-headlights glance at Zelos.

This whole scenario was rather embarrassing, even more so considering she has managed to get caught. Princesses were supposed to be graceful and now she can add making a great mess in the kitchen to the fact that she nearly fell on her face outside earlier. Something was clearly wrong here! Oh, right, he asked her a question.

".. Oh! I am sorry, I was distracted."

Luckily for Zelos, he was used to clumsy girls. Colette was clumsy enough that she managed to trip on air, which was a feat in itself. So he'll simply grin at her in his most charming fashion.

"I can see that. Would you like some help, my lady?"

"I would not object to it. Thank you."

She will totally have to meet Colette one day, they could make an epic and clumsy pair. Her smile softens some as she collects a towel laying on the counter nearby and crouches down to start plowing through the mess.

"It is kind of you to offer your help to a stranger."

He'll wish for his own towels and start wiping up the mess. He could make a show of being tidy if it meant charming a hunny.

"What kind of person would I be to leave a beautiful lady unaided?" And certainly beautiful was she. Almost if she was royalty the way she seemed to be clothed. "Besides, I'm used to it."

She looks up when he wishes for the towels and stares for a moment. This is definitely going to take some getting used to. But yes, staring is rude! So she is going to regain that composure and resume cleaning.

"You flatter me," Elena says with a smile. The second half of his statement is curious but she has never been one to question kindness.

His own grin simply widens at the staring. Like he minds the ladies doing that to him.

"Oh no, I only speak the truth, miss!" Zelos was never one to lie about the beauty of women. Then again, he found most of them beautiful in some fashion.

Easy, Fabio, she is paying more attention to those towels you wished up. Nonetheless, after the two of them have cleaned the kitchen up, she straightens up.

"My name is Elena."

Fabio wished he had hair like Zelos's! But he'll straighten up as well, discarding the towels in a nearby sink.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful princess," he'll bow a little with a charming smile. "I'm Zelos."

"You are kind, Zelos, it is nice to meet you."

And it really is, he seems to be a very genuine person and that is always a refreshing quality to see in someone. As he bows, she curtsies in reply.

Around this time, the man with the hair everyone wishes they could have walks into the kitchen. His eyes widen slightly at the state of Elena's dress.

"Everything all right, my lady?" Also he's eyeing Zelos. Not hostile yet, but you'd best not be getting too close to his princess.

Ah, Gwaine! Her smile is even brighter as she curtsies to him and straightens up to gesture to Zelos. All this pretty hair in one room, what ever is a lady to do?

"It is, thank you. Zelos was kind enough to assist me after I made a mess of things. I was unaware that it is unwise to drop one of those," she pauses briefly to look over at a can of cola sitting atop of the counter.

"And then attempt to open it. Zelos, this is Sir Gwaine. Sir Gwaine, Zelos."

Throw a hair party? He nods to Zelos.

"I am grateful for your assistance to my lady, Zelos." That's right. His lady. Bounce off, ginger.

Cross walks into the kitchen just as Elena's can of soda explodes all over her. Yeah...well then. That's quite unfortunate.

"Shall we speak after I let you go change out of that sticky mess, my lady?"

Elena, Cola still clutched in one hand, can do little more than laugh as she looks from the mess on the floor to the newest arrival to the kitchen. What else could possibly go wrong this afternoon?

"That might be wise. I am sorry, I was not aware it could do that."

He smirks, finding her amusement over this entire thing rather cute.

"Yeah, you have to be careful when it comes to soda. I will be here for some time, and do not worry about the mess on the floor. You worry about yourself."

"I will make haste. .. Or, well, it may actually take longer than I expect it to. The castle saw fit to house me in one of the towers."

Princess in a tower! She will never get over the amusement of that fact. Despite the cola clinging to her dress she manages to curtsy before closing the refrigerator door behind her so she can make her way to the exit. Pausing briefly, Elena opens her mouth to say something else then closes it again before laughing.

"Thank you for understanding. I will tend to it when I return, you have my word."

"What am amusing, yet cruel joke. Do take your time, my lady, and of course."

Cross nods at Elena and waits for her to vacate the kitchen before he cleans up the mess. A simple wave of his hand, a few words under his breath, and the spilled soda and covered surfaces are clean once more.

It takes approximately fifteen minutes for her to get upstairs, change and return to the lobby again -- and that is only because she rushed. Mind you there was a lot of tripping on her part, much to her exasperation, but that much doesn't show on her face as she walks back into the kitchen with every intention of keeping her previous word. Towel, towel..

But then her gaze drifts to a very clean floor and she gives Cross an amused but secretly thankful smile.

"It is difficult to keep my word when you clean up my messes for me. But you have my thanks."

He grins as she comes back into the kitchen and shrugs at her comment. "I was never planning on letting you keep your word. And no thanks necessary — a lady such as yourself should not be on hands and knees cleaning up an unnecessary mess."

"A true gentleman."

It wasn't necessarily a rarity here, people seemed to be kind enough, but he reminds her much more of the men from home and that in itself is refreshing. So she approaches and offers him her hand.

"My name is Elena, of Gawant. May I ask for yours?"

He takes her hand and sets a kiss on the palm as he bows, before straightening up. "General Cross Marian, a pleasure to meet you, Elena. Have you just recently arrived in Paradisa?"

"It is a pleasure, General Cross. Is it so obvious? I have been here for a few days only."

When he straightens she accepts her hand back with another smile.

He lets her take her hand and grins. "I ask only because such a beautiful face was not familiar to me. Hopefully you have met someone familiar to you from your world?"

"It seems that everyone in this castle means to flatter me," she is unable to wipe the smile off of her face but, to answer his question, she does manage a nod.

"I have. Several, as luck would have it. It seems they have come from a time before my own but one was kind enough to allow me to stay with him and his friends in a home located in City Royale. Perhaps you have met? His name is Arthur, he comes from a kingdom that neighbors my own."

The General knows exactly what residence she speaks of before she says his name. Oh, another one from Camelot. The castle is finally attempting to complete its collection, eh?

"I have, actually, and I know of the house you speak of, too. My apprentice owns it."

"Your apprentice is Allen, then?"

Aw, Allen, she is going to grow to really like him if Arthur and Gwaine don't give him a heart attack first. "I met him when I first arrived, he spoke to me over the journal. He is kind."

"Correct, Elena."

There is always someone in Allen's circle that will give him a heart attack. "He is indeed well-mannered. Do not hesitate to ask him for favors."

"That is good to know, but I am certain I will manage. If I were too delicate, I do not believe I would get far here."

She could show Arthur's knights a thing or two about being awesome, Cross! Just you wait and see.

"Good, because this place will test you to your limit."

He would love to see this when she does show them how to truly be awesome.

"I have little doubt. If nothing else, it will keep me on my toes."

Elena laughs. Cross will have to watch her kick Arthur's butt in their horseback riding race later.

"Now, what was your original intention coming to the castle today?"

Tell Cross the date, time, and location, and he will be there with some popcorn. Oh, and he will make sure Timcanpy films Arthur's getting owned, too.

"I had hoped to find my room. Arthur offered to let me stay in town with him and Allen before I had a chance to search."

Done and done! It will be quite a show.

"Simply being the gentleman he is. And clearly you found your room, so what else are you up to?"

Yessssss. Any chance he gets to see Arthur get owned by someone — especially a female — is beautiful.
