[ 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. ]

[ So cruel! So so delightfully cruel! Tiara's hand cups her cheek at his tone. ]

You need not concern yourself with that. I fear I lack the patience to mother someone as she does, nor would I want to.

[ Just a little nitpicking here and there, though. ]

Surely you do not think I am incapable.

[fatedefyingwill]

[Yuuuuup she's lovin the treatment. If this were in public some would probably think this extended to bedroom affairs in private.]

Yet you still tried.

[A little nitpicking even though she tried to keep finding things to criticize him.]

I think you lack the personality for it not the ability.

[hatedbloodline]

[ Gosh. Whatever would make them think that? O:) She was running out of things to criticize! She had to find the petty stuff. ]

Well you will see otherwise. [ If she's supposed to not nitpick - though she would really really REALLY want to fuss at him over something or other no doubt, and being unable to because of a promise would drive her absolutely batty. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Sooo you're saying you can pull off the motherly look and vibe?

[He doesn't buy it. Not one bit.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Hey, she could totally be an awesome actress if she wanted to! ]

... Yes. As a matter of fact I could if I wished to.

[ ... Well she could TRY. If she acted like Marissa, ... hrm, that ... that might be embarrassingly bad actually. But her pride is on the line now! ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Most would clearly contradict that claim of hers.]

You're gonna have to prove it then.

[He might trust her about a lot of things but acting skills is not one of them. Not anymore anyway. He knows all the little ticks and tells that gives her away.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ They're just jealous! It's easy! ]

Hmm, all right.

[ He didn't specify human or fairy or pokemon, after all. LOOPHOLES. She reached over to scoop Cui into her arms, rocking him back and forth. ]

Cuui, you've eaten your fill for tonight, so let us get you cleaned up and ready for bed.

[ She coo'd at the cutest little fairy ever, getting to her feet. So what if it was cheating, or that her 'mothering' was a little awkwardly given, she felt it counted. It counts, right? Poor Cui was baffled at first, but hey, extra cuddles was a good thing. He rolled onto his back in her arms so he could get belly rubs. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Jealous of what? They had nothing to be jealous of surely. That being said he does raise an eyebrow as she starts babying Cui.]

...

[hatedbloodline]

[ The list of things to be jealous of is ENDLESS. A better question is what WOULDN'T they be jealous of. And the answer is 'nothing. There is nothing they wouldn't be jealous of.'

Cui wiggled about in her arm, 'cuiii'ing gleefully. ]

What a good little Cui, you are, so well behaved~. [ Not at all like certain loud mouthed fairies! She sauntered on into the bathroom where she filled a basin with water. ]

And in we go - [ Which is about where her mothering stops since Cui decided to troll. At first he stayed put, nice and calmly, Tiara even humming a little ditty to herself. And then splashing followed. ]

EEK! C--Cui, no! What are you doing, you silly- stop that! Cui-CUI!

[ A loud clatter and KASPLOOSH followed, and Cui came bounding out of the bathroom, all wet and sudsy while a puddle of water leaked out of the bathroom. Followed by an equally damp Tiara, looking very displeased. ]

Cui!

[ SAVE HIM FANG. Cui is bounding right up to leap into the Fencer's lap, 'laughing'. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Her Ego is going to get its own gravitational field at this rate. He does watch Tiara with Cui wondering where she's going to take all of this. He quickly got his answer though as he heard the commotion from the bathroom.

Fang quickly reacts and manages to catch Cui with both hands before he gets the chance to leap on his lap and soak it through. That's when Tiara shows up as well.]

...Pft. Hahahahahah!

[Yep he's laughing. Laughing with everything he's got at the situation.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Nice reflexes! Cui wiggled a bit, ears twitching as he glanced over at his peeved bonded. ]

It.. it isn't funny! [ Tiara huffed, temper flaring briefly. How dare he stand there and laugh at her! And Cui! You traitor, how could you ;.; ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[Nope still gonna laugh because that is the funniest thing he's seen in a long while]

Hahahaha you should look in the mirror and see your face!

[Now if Cui wanted to make things even he'd choose this moment to shake in Fang's grasp and try to spray some water on him too.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ FUME. She's about to snap at him, when - what do you know, Cui does exactly that. Shake and get water all over Fang that is. ]

There! That serves you right! [ Tiara laughed. she decided to hunt down a towel to dry herself off. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Hahaha haaghgherbl! Cui! Hey knock it off!

[Well now he's soaked too though not as bad as Tiara. Hope she likes the look of wet hair Fang as he slicks it back while holding Cui in one hand.]

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara paused to stare at Fang with slicked back wet hair as she emerged with towels. Stare. And then she quickly looks away. ]

I do not know what has gotten into him, to react that way.

[ Or her, to stare at him like that. ]

Cui, behave yourself.

[ Cui wriggled a bit more, but decided to hold still after a moment. Tiara had towels after all. ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[He looks at her curiously hair still slicked back in one hand.]

Well you did drop the surprise of the bath on him while tricking him wiht cuddles. I'd do the same if I were in his shoes.

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara tosses him a towel, stepping forward to wrap Cui up in another one. ]

That is different. Cui is normally more well behaved than you are. Perhaps the water was just cold or...

[ ...! OR... she suddenly looks at Fang suspiciously. MAYBE he's COntaminating her poor fairy with his bad habits! ]

[fatedefyingwill]

[He catches the towel and just lazily throws it over his head before looking at the girl and her fairy. Just in time to see that accusing look.]

Hey what's with those eyes you're showin me?

[hatedbloodline]

[ Tiara hugs Cui to her chest. ]

I believe I have found the factor behind Cui's mischievous behavior.

[ J'Accuse! ]

[fatedefyingwill]

Huuuh? HOw the heck did you get that impression? All I did was give him snacks and scratch at his belly and neck from time to time!

[hatedbloodline]

Mmhmm, and because of that, I believe you are spoiling him and influencing his behavior with your own. Even unintentionally.

[fatedefyingwill]

That makes zero sense. It's not like I blackmail the guy with goodies.

[hatedbloodline]

Of course not. You would not think so far ahead, however you spoiling him is just as bad. He certainly never mis-- misbehav...

[ She pauses, turning her head to sneeze very very delicately. ]

He never did such things before we met you.

[fatedefyingwill]

[He's still not convinced by her reasoning.]

The things I do can't possibly affect his personality. You sure he's not getting these traits from your true self?

[hatedbloodline]

Absolutely not! [ She's adamant about that! ]

Nevertheless I will be watching you. [ Closely. And if she gets a hint of him influencing little Cui she'll...do nothing because there's really not anything she can do about that. ]
