[center] [color=a6cbff]LAPIS[/color] ----------- [color=a6cbff]Mentions: People[/color] [color=a6cbff]Interactions: Roland | [@Ithradine] Leonid | [@Vertigo] Alphonse | [@Zombehs][/color] -----------[/center] As if on cue, most people around her started to jump on the chance at teasing the cherryhead princess. First was a guy who looked like he could be her brother, whose name was apparently Elias according to another man who seemed to know him. He was one of the few if not the only one to verbally congratulate Cherryhead for being House leader, and defending her. Maybe the guy had a crush on her or was trying to suck up; it [i]was[/i] pretty common of Nobles, wasn't it? [color=a6cbff]”If something's pretty I'll call it pretty. I'm not shy about it.”[/color] She said, though noting the coldness Roland addressed Elias with, she decided to ask. [color=a6cbff]”Would it make you feel better if Elias-guy or Cherryhead called you pretty too?”[/color] She didn't expect any sort of response from him. Her focus, instead, fell on the guy that crouched near the flowers alongside her. He brought his wyvern closer to drink the nectar of the flowers she'd just been eying. Just how good did the flower's nectar taste? Was it safe for humans to eat? It should be; there was no way an elite Academy like this would have dangerous flowers that could kill so many important people in one place. So they had to be edible! The man introduced himself as "Alphonse". He had silver hair and a red eye that practically glowed along his eyelashes. The next thing that caught her attention was the eyepatch, which had her wondering the story behind it. Maybe he lost it in an epic battle for his life, or maybe he poked his eye out doing something stupid. Regardless, it was a story she'd like to hear at some point. Lapis gave him a little nod in acknowledgement. [color=a6cbff]”Alphonse... Alphonse. Al. I can't guarantee I'll remember, but it's good to meet you. I'm Lapis. You can call me whatever you want.”[/color] She picked one of the flowers and held the stem between her fingertips. [color=a6cbff]”Yeah, you could say I'm a fan.”[/color] When one was hungry as hell, flowers were a treat. Sure it didn't have any nutrients, but it was better than nothing! Her ears perked up to the sound of a new voice. This one came from one of the other Suit Pigs in the group. He leaned in closer and started talking about the very flower that Lapis held in her hand. A delectable delicacy, sweeter than honey, and no doubt delicious. Lapis's willpower was one of the two things keeping her from drooling or stuffing the flower into her mouth to taste the wonders of this delicacy. The other was that Lapis had dealt with enough Nobles' bullshit to believe anything they tell her. She'd been fooled into eating things that'd made her sick for a week if not two. She'd trusted them before and was punished for it in various different ways. Sure there was a chance this man was telling her the truth, but... the fact the other Suit Pigs weren't jumping at the chance to eat this "delicacy" made her completely doubt this man's explanation. [color=a6cbff]”Whoaaa, if that's true, then the nectar must be what makes it so good. And it should be safe to eat as it is, right?”[/color] She started, [color=a6cbff]"Since you were nice enough to explain, why don't you get first dibs? With a description like that, Nobles must be itching to taste the stuff when they can. And it'd be rude of me to not give first dibs to the nice gentleman who clued me in."[/color] Lapis held out the flower for Leonid to take and eat, her smile peeking out from the top of her scruffy brown scarf. If it wasn't bullshit, then there shouldn't be a problem with him eating it, right?
