[ The feed turns on with Tiara sitting in front of the feed and Cui on her lap. No, Cui isn't a pokemon either. ]

Well, it would seem that I, too, have acquired a number of these poke-mon creatures, although it has taken me some time to give my latest a proper name. [ She turns the feed around a bit to an Absol paying the feed little mind. ] After much deliberation, I have finally decided.

Her name is Lianna Alyssandra Desdemona Yessica, or, to simplify matters, "Lady" for short. Regrettably, it took me much longer than I intended to finalize her name, and regrettably due to my extended deliberation I have lost a bet that I agreed to with my companion. ... As a result I must serve him, for one week, for a change. Much as I am loathe to cooperate, I am not one to back out of a deal.

I find myself mildly curious if others have involved themselves in similar 'bets' in the past? No matter, failing that, I wish to know of the best places one can acquire fashionable and high quality attire in the event my own clothing becomes torn or dirty. It it my guess that those who have been here longer than I may have a better idea of such. Money is no object.

[ Action ]
[ There's just no way this was going to end well. There was also no way that Fang wasn't going to gloat about winning his bet with her. And for a whole week. ugh. Well, she was a lady of her word. That didn't mean she wasn't a little peeved about it, especially knowing that her Absol had deliberately sabotaged her for her own amusement. Both Absol and Cui were sitting side by side, watching Tiara pace small circles until Tiara glanced at the pokemon and the fairy. ]

This is your fault, you realize.

"Absol.." "Cui!~"

[ Tiara siiiighed, giving both a pat on the head. Well she wasn't about to back out now - surely Fang wouldn't gloat too much right? Well he was about to get quite a greeting to say the least. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Oh yes he was going to gloat immensely. Especially since he isn't the one responsible for the sabotage he can do it with a clean conscience. So when he finally returns to their shared room he's having a hard time keeping his grin to himself.]

So then I heard that call you made earlier. You know you didn't have to be that honest with strangers about something you hate so much.

[hatedbloodline]

[ She'd been watching the feed for replies about clothing stores and such, but when Lady and Cui both heard Fang's approach, she turned the feed away. Fang, when he walked into the room, would see Tiara sitting on the floor like a proper little maid-servant, facing the door, smiling sweetly like she just poisoned his food. ]

Welcome back M... [ Gah, does she have to call him Master too? ] Fang.

Do not concern yourself with such trifles. I do not mind addressing the matter.

[ Cui, meanwhile, stared at Tiara. Whoah, transformation central. ]

"C..cui."

[ He is weirded out! ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[...Okay he didn't see that coming. Don't mind him he's just going to stare like a deer in the headlights.]

Oh. Huh this is definitely new. That look doesn't look off on your though~

[Compliment or insult. Which could it be?]

[hatedbloodline]

[ She's.. not sure if that's a compliment or an insult herself, actually. She looked at him suspiciously for a moment, and then smiles! ]

Well... it would seem according to the literature I read, a servant must present herself well to her...her.... [uh...] to you.

Do not get too used to this. It is only for a week. ... Perhaps you will learn something as well.

[fatedefyingwill]

[Probably a mix of both knowing him. That being said it's a weird feeling ot have her kneel towards him like that. But there is one thing missing. Something that's clearly bothering her.]

Say it once and I'll let you off from having to say it again.

[He quirks an eyebrow at her remark. Oh she still had that attitude. That was good. That was what made TIara Tiara.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Quite likely, much like how she would often compliment him and give him a backhanded insult - or insult him and give him a backhanded compliment. More often the former than the latter. Sort of. Although... ]

Even saying it -once- is... is... [ Augh, calling him Master, it was so ...-strange-. Though it was kinda considerate that he'd let her out of calling him that! Then again Tiara probably would have let it slide too. Maybe. Even if he called her Master mockingly like normal. ] It is so...!

[ Buck up Tiara, put on your big girl shoes. You can do it! ]

V..Very well. What ...is it you wish of me..... [ A little more. ] M-Master.

[ GOSH that was harder than she needed to make it. Still, now she wouldn't have to say it again, yay! ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Well that's just how their dynamic was as a partnership. No as slave and master. But now the roles were reversed and for a week too.]

If you don't wanna take my deal I'll just have you say it all the time then.

[But then she finally decides to take the plunge. The end result is cuter.....than he was prepared for.]

W-Well uhm I think I could use some tea right now. Long day and all that.

[Surely that won't be a problem.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Nope, no problem there! Especially since she did take the deal and won't have to call him Master again! Her cheeks were still a little pink when he finally makes his request - which wasn't too bad honestly. She got to her feet, smoothing out her skirt. ]

O-Of course. I will prepare that for you right away. Please make yourself comfortable and wait.

[ Cui and Lady sort of 'eye' each other, probably wishing they had some popcorn or snacks to get in on this entertainment, as Tiara delicately picked her way over to the pot of water, filling it a bit more to start heating it. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Fang on the other hand takes a seat at the small table they shared in the room and rests his chin in his palm as he watches Tiara prepare the tea from behind. To add to it all he allows his mind for a moment to picture her in a maid outfit as well.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Preparing tea was something she actually enjoyed doing - so he even got to see a genuinely sweet smile out of her as she was in the middle of that process. Though it took her a little longer to finish the preparation since she wanted to make sure to get the full flavor from the herbs steeping. ]

...would you also like a tea egg to accompany it, Fang?

[ She's even being very generous and accomodating. She must have done something to it - yeah! She's put the paralysis in the egg and she's gonna bolt! ...But no. That would be silly and pointless. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[She had a really cute smile. Fang quickly shook his head of the notion that had come out of nowhere just now. Even so that smile was burned in his memory now. So he couldn't help it but watch her and not what she was doing.]

Ummm I guess I could have some of that too yeah.

[Maybe he was a little too trusting. Maybe.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ MWAHAHAHA, he's fallen right into her trap! ... that didn't actually exist. Actually she hadn't thought about using any 'poisons' for her tea in some time - though if the opportunity came up she'd probably use it on someone else if she needed to. Cui, meanwhile, was watching Fang almost as much as he was watching Tiara, Lady on the other hand, decided to nap. Or perhaps she was just listening with her eyes closed - one couldn't really tell. ]

Very well. The tea will be ready shortly.

[ Shortly enough that she was already fetching the tea egg from the cooler. By the time that was done, she padded back over to pour the tea for him, delivering both on a small saucer. ]

There you are. As you have requested.

[fatedefyingwill]

[Cui would notice something of a wistful smile start to bloom on Fang's face only for it to vanish into that look of lazy indifference he usually had on once Tiara was done with her preparations.]

Ah thanks, Tiara. YOu can make some for yourself too. You've earned it.

[He's trying the master role but it's not something he's ever had the chance to put in Practice.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Ohoho, that was an interesting face he was making. Cui filed it away, since now that Lady had joined their company, he had someone to gossip with. K..kinda. Tiara, naturally, didn't notice anything any different about Fang, though she did sketch a graceful curtsey (though it seemed a little mocking) when Fang gave her leave to have some tea too. ]

Oh my - thank you kindly, I shall do just that.

[ She had to bite her tongue to avoid innocently jabbing at him, as she made her way back to the counter to prepare her own tea. Cui hopped up on the table, sniffing curiously at the egg, only to be scolded. ]

Cui, that is not for you.

"Cuuuuuui.." [ Pout. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Whether he noticed it or not he's still acting normal as always. When he sees her rebuke poor Cui he decides to speak up.]

Give something to the little guy too. Not fair if Cui just watches us have a good time with tea like this.

[hatedbloodline]

[ Cui's ears perked up in approval. ] "Cui Cui!" [ Yay snacks! ]

[ Tiara reached into a drawer, nodding slowly. ]

All right, I will give Cui a treat as well.

[ She glanced over at the pokemon, but Lady wasn't reacting to the possibility of snacks. Taking out one of the tea eggs, she cut it in half, placing each half in a little dish for both, just in case. Cui was all too happy to snack on the treat, taking little bites, while Tiara sat across from Fang with her tea. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[He does chuckle seeing Cui so happy to get his treat. Maybe Fang was spoiling the fairy a little bit. Just a little bit. Hopefully Tiara won't get jealous~]

Haha look at the little guy go~

[hatedbloodline]

[ ... No, she's not jealous. Not at all. See how not jealous she is by calmly sipping her tea. SO. DAMN. CALMLY. ]

I do not believe he has had tea eggs before. It is only natural.

[ She's not jealous. Or huffy. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[...yeah you're so very convincing there, Tiara.]

Hey what's wrong? I haven't asked you to do anything to put you in a bad mood.

[Quirks an eyebrow.]

[hatedbloodline]

I am not in a bad mood. If I were in a bad mood, you would certainly be the first to know.

[ Because see, she's in a bad mood right now, and he is clearly aware of it. And my this is delicious tea, yepyep. So tasty. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

I do know. That's why I am askin in the first place. Does it really piss you off that much to be my servant? Or maybe you'd rather I call you my slave?

[Yep he's trying the waters here.]

[hatedbloodline]

S-slave...! Oooh... you.. You cannot change the subject so casually. My mood has nothing to do with you.

[ Nothing whatsoever except everything. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Hmmm could it be you'd rather I be a harsher master? Maybe even put you on a leash when we're walking around in public?

[That was one way to cheer her up wasn't it?]

[redsnowangel]

"Lianna Alyssandra Desdemona Yessica"? That's quite the mouthful.

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara grins. ]

Indeed, it is why I have given her the nickname of "Lady" to make it easier to call to her.
