[they all made their way to the royal dining hall to hv dinner, the seating arrangement somehow was set to make Terrance sit closest to Grimm n Wander sitting closest to Hater]
Loathe: (giggle) [giggled quietly n proceeded to make small talk with the other candidates]
Hater: (was seated next to Wander) :^)
Wander: [felt a little out of place bt tries to be optimistic abt it as he picked up the wine goblet] Ooh, fancy~
Hater: Mhm...
Wander: Sooooooo... Ur ACTUALLY a royalty. I thought ur Lord title was just for the Conquering gig
Hater: |-( You just have to butt your nose in where it doesn't belong, don't you?
Wander: Eheh, no exactly on purpose. I mean, they invited guests, so I thought everyone could come. Besides I didn't know u got this shindig going on. I originally came here to explore, coz I nvr been here before
Hater: Right... (poked at his food)
Wander: Sooooooo.... Ur sister seems nice :)
Hater: Well, yeah, she is.
Wander: Ummm... So if I understand correctly, there's an elimination process for the nxt 3 mths until one person is standing to become ur brother's wife, right?
Hater: Yeah. (nod)
Wander: I hv a feeling I know who the winner will be [looks at Grimm practically low-key flirting with Terrance, barely acknowledging the other candidates]
Terrance: :$ (also chatted a bit with Grimm)
Hater: Seems he already made his choice...
Wander: Yup. It's gonna be so awkward if I ended up being ur brother in law, eheheh... [scratched his chin awkwardly]
Hater: (to himself) Or possible lover... >_>* (thinks; o////o??)
Wander: [doesn't notice his look as he picked at his food, moving the meat away]
Hater: (nibbled at his food)
Wander: Sooooooo... Why aren't u on the throne instead of ur brother? Ur the elder son, aren't u?
Hater: Yeah, but... (gripped his fork) Just a change of plans, nothing more.
Wander: I see. So ur taking a break from conquering to visit ur family n be here for ur brother for this ceremony? That's a very nice gesture :)
Hater: You could say it like that...
Wander: So wat... [his words were cut short by the familiar stomping of feet n the slam of the dining room door open, revealing the breathless zbornak] S-Sylvia! :O
Sylvia: :| Hey...Can I have my pal back??
Hater: O_O Aw frap...
Fury: Wat's the meaning of this? [stands up] Guards, seize that intruder n kick her out!
Wander: No, wait, she's--
Sylvia: (to guards) Don't even try it!
Hater: ...She's a friend of one of these suitors!
Wander: Y-Yeah, she's, uh, my bodyguard
Loathe: Dad, Dad! [whispered to Fury's ear]
Fury: [blinked in realization] Hmm, I see. Sir Wander, pls calm dwn ur bodyguard n tell her to wait outside like everyone else
Wander: Y-Yes sir ^^;; [comes to Sylvia] Syl, buddy, calm dwn. I'm OK, reli
Sylvia: :^) Looked more like you were forcefully dragged into this mess to be wed to some dumb Skeletor.
Hater: That's my brother you're talking about, stupid horse. > : |
Wander: Sylvia, pls! Just wait outside, OK? We don't wanna start any trouble [whispered] Ur embarrassing me in front of Hatey's family. Hatey's my friend, remember?
Sylvia: Fine... (to Hater) :| You better watch your back. (leaves the room)
Hater: -__- Oy...
Wander: Ehehe, nothing to see here. Crisis averted ^^;; [returned to his seat]
[the other candidates murmured distastefully before returning to their meal]
Hater: (went to eating his meal, too)
Wander: [picked at his meal again, moving away all the meat before nibbling at the veggies n mash potatoes]
Hater: ? The meat not good for you?
Wander: Oh! Uh, no, I'm sure it is... It's just I'm semi-vegetarian
Hater: So you just like mostly veggie?
Wander: N fish n certain types of seafood. I'm good with dairy. I just don't eat meat
Hater: Huh, okay.
Wander: Yeah. Sorry if I'm weirding u out or anything
Hater: Nah, you've weired me out in weirder ways then this.
Wander: I do? :|
Hater: Well, yeah, with all that stuff you've been doing around me. :^) Somehow you knew I liked glitter...
Wander: Reli? U actually do like glitter? I was just spitballing :D Well, more like gut instincts, bt still. Wow~
Hater: |-( Yeah, yeah.
[the dinner went more or less well, with Grimm barely talking to the other candidates except Terrance]
Fury: Thank u for joining us for dinner. Now for the nxt 3 mths u will stay in this palace to get to know my son. U will be called periodically to go thru the elimination process. At the end of the 3rd mth, there will be 2 or 3 left standing n my son will choose one to be the bride. May the best person win
Hater: (to Wander) You're pretty much stuck here till then.
Wander: [shrugged] No big. I go with the flow. I most likely will prolly eliminate myself
Hater: Yeah but that means you might have to hang out with my brother instead.
Wander: Ooh~ Right... Wen u put it tht way, it kinda sounds awkward [scratched his chin awkwardly] Eheheh...
Hater: Uh, yeah... (glanced away)
Wander: It's OK, like I said, I'll prolly eliminate myself at the end of the elimination process. I'll be home free to hang out with u [smiled innocently]
Hater: (face glowed green a little) Um...yeah, sure, whatever you say, sunshine. (thinks; O///O???)
Wander: [blinked in surprise at the nickname, then smiled innocently again, the meaning went past his head] Aww, thanks, Hatey :) [sees the door open] I better go to Sylvia before she freaks out again
Hater: >///< Oh shut up. Just go see her.
Wander: :) [joined the suitors' crowd to leave the dining room n went to see Sylvia]
Loathe: [sidled nxt to Hater n grinned] Soooo... someone is getting along there, Hatey~~
Hater: >///> How much did you hear?
Loathe: Long enough to know that there is someone else besides us who calls u "Hatey"~~ (smirk)
Hater: >_< That doesn't mean anything!
Loathe: Reli? Sounds like ur already the close to be calling each other nicknames, eh? Sunshine?
Hater: > 8 | I swear if you don't shut up...!
Loathe: :p Well, good luck. Let's just hope Grimmy doesn't choose ur little sunshine~ [run off before Hater can yell at her, laughing all the way] (rofl)
Hater: (facepalm)
