Ludwig stared at Arthur, eyes sparkling with adventure and excitement as her young Master awkwardly explained things to her. With gusto, she stabbed her chopsticks down into her rice bowl and stood straight up as quick as a bolt.

[color=fff79a]"Of course, Master! I wouldn't wish to use these fascinating utensils rudely! It would be unbecoming of a knight-king as beauteous as myself. I must thank you for the aid of your wisdom and the nobility of your candor!"[/color]

With this barrage of compliments, Ludwig turned on a heel and dashed into the bedroom. Shutting the door did little to mask the noise of rifling and tossing as Ludwig tried desperately to find something she liked. It was all rather plain, nothing loud or ostentatious enough for her kingly form. Still, a handsome enough knight could elevate even common garb with her presence alone. Certain in this fact, Ludwig made her grand entrance back into the living area in only a few minutes. On any other person, it would look like a simple white shirt and jeans (with a weirdly conspicuous aquamarine pendant adorning the neck), but on Ludwig the outfit practically [i]glowed[/i]. She hit Arthur with her gleaming, fairy tale smile.

[color=fff79a]"Well, Master? I think this blouse looks rather lovely on me, don't you?"[/color]

[color=8882be]"Well..."[/color]

Lucia began cutting the focaccia, smiling to herself as she thought about all the joy her delicious food would soon bring.

[color=8882be]"I would be happy if the other Masters couldn't immediately trace the Servant they're contending with back to the church, as long as that might last. But even with your talent for theater, I don't know how feasible that is."[/color]

She plated up a few pieces of bread, and offered one to Nero. Lucia, just like the abbess at the convent she grew up in, would [i]insist[/i] on feeding everyone that she deemed needed feeding. Which was most people, all of the time.

[color=8882be]"I would like to believe that God is on our side, though, so I will put my faith in Him and in you. But... this is all very new to me. I'm a little anxious~"[/color]

Lucia smiled sheepishly, more like she had confessed something to a crush than admitted to anxiety for a death game.
