Hazel laughed and said "sorry," though she didn't sound very sorry at all. "Ah," but here's a question," she said, leaning back so she could look between both Fel and Crystal. "Is the food actually super-glorious, or do we just think it should be because we're in the palace, and so we're tasting what we're expecting to taste?" She grinned, hazel-green eyes sparking with amusement at her own silliness, but also at all the grand sights surrounding her. Crystal looked positively befuddled for about two seconds, then giggled under her breath and shook her head. "Don't be ridiculous. The food is good. Rotten cantaloupe doesn't magically taste like sunshine and honey just because you eat it off a silver plate." [Author's note: I don't actually know what cantaloupe tastes like because I have always been a very picky child, so just bear with me. ] Charles shook his head. "It's too soon for him to like any of them, don't you think?" he asked. He'd raised the boy to be sensible. Sensible young men didn't fancy themselves in love with a girl after only one encounter.

"Oh come on, Charles," Katherine smiled and bit into a slice of watermelon, enjoying the sweetness. She dabbed her mouth with a napkin. "Let the boy experience a little looove." She drew out the word playfully. "Don't you believe in romance?" She nudged him with her elbow playfully but subtly, they were in public after all.

[I'm eating after this post sorry]
Rei wiped her brow as she looked at the mess left from preparing breakfast. "Might as well start cleaning," Rei thought out loud as she rolled up her sleeves to begin washing the pots and pans. She would start with things that needed to soak first so then she could get things that could be washed fast and easy out of the way. Rei turned on the water and held her hand underneath to wait for it to get warm before starting to get water in some pots and measuring bowls before getting to the utensils.

(No worries!)
Jaden walked into the kitchen with his empty water pitcher, setting it down by Rei. "G'morning, Miss Rei." He joked, having it a running joke that now they needed to call all these commoners "miss" and "lady" just because they were the Selected. It made sense, but to him it was still funny. "Need any help with the dishes? I think the girls can pour their own water for now."

Rei scowled slightly at him for calling her "miss" and grabbed a towel, swinging it into something she could use to whip him jokingly with. "Morning, Jaden," she greeted as she spun the towel in the other direction and tossed it at him. "You can dry the dishes I put on that towel and put them away. If you don't know where it goes I'll take care of it later." She went back to washing the dirty dishes and placed what was wet and clean on the towel she talked about.

Hazel looked around at all the elegance. "It is pretty incredible," she said. "It almost seems like too much. How could you possibly get used to all of it?" "I think it would be wonderful," Crystal sighed. "To be a real princess in a beautiful palace... It would be just like a novel."

Charles did not seem amused. He smiled at Katherine to humor her, but nothing in his otherwise businesslike demeanor changed. "He can experience love all he wants, after he's found the right girl, or at least narrowed it down."

"Sounds like a plan." Jaden smiled and dodged the whip with the dish-towel. He pulled another towel, grabbing a dish and beginning to dry it. "Well, what do you think of the girls?" He asked, putting the plate in it's place and taking another one.
Katherine smiled and huffed slightly, knowing her husband's view on all things. She began to a small pancake, cutting in a piece of strawberry into it.

Rei flashed a smile back at him as she rinsed the soap off some knives. "I have been in here the whole time so I don't know much. I guess they are girls so I don't know. I don't really have an opinion since it's not my place to have one. What about you?" She eyed him as she held out the handles of the knives she rinsed off, carefully holding them by the blade.

Hazel considered that for a moment while she chewed her eggs. "She seems comfortable enough. Maybe it's like a scented candle: no matter how good it smells, if you let it burn for long enough, you'll stop noticing. Or maybe she always knew that she was just born to be a queen," she added with a giggle.
Crystal smiled softly. "Just like one," she agreed. And she did love fairy tales...
~~~~~~
Charles looked up and let his gaze sweep around the room again, examining the girls. The dining hall had never been so full of female voices and nervous giggles, it seemed. "Some of them look so young," he observed. Perhaps they should have waited another year or two. These girls were still practically children. How could they understand what it meant to be a queen, Alexander's queen? His mouth tightened into a line as he thought.

(So, Sky... I hate to do this again, but do you think I could edit Hazel's profile one more time? See, I put something in there about her sister's dying, because the idea came to me and seemed interesting, but the more I think about it, the more I feel like I would do a rubbish job of trying to write a character who's experienced something like that. I was wondering if I could maybe say her sister was confined to a wheelchair or something instead? It's still a big family trauma I haven't experienced, but less psychologically damaging, probably, than a death, and therefore probably easier to rp believably. Besides, it's at least a little less of a tear-jerker this way, and I am a firm believer that tear-jerkers need to be earned. Haha.)

Fel nodded, thinking, as she pushed a lone strawberry around her plate. She was the same age as the prince, so she grew up her entire life knowing she'd experience a Selection. As a child, she dreamed of entering; as a teenager, she really didn't. She never felt queenly enough to enter, until she woke up one day and decided to fill out the form. Somehow, she ended up here, sitting mere feet away from the royal family. It was crazy. "To make myself feel better, I'm gonna say that she just stopped noticing after awhile."

Okay, finally home but still on mobile)
His parents' murmuring was background noise in Alexander's ears as his gaze roamed around the room. He concentrated on watching the girls, analyzing their interactions. Every once in awhile Alexander would use his fork to pop a blackberry into his mouth, in the pretext of eating breakfast. However, between the first breakfast with his family and nerves, Alexander wasn't exactly hungry. He noticed Crystal speaking with Felicity and Hazel, and Giselle ordering the servants around like a natural.
