(Let's skip!)
Quinn was in her room, nervously checking the time. She had changed from her previous attire; she was no longer in a short purple dress but a floor-length black one that had a half-open back and lace sleeves. Her hair was down, per her request, and her makeup was light. After dinner, she had told her maids that she would undress by herself, there was no need for them to suspect anything. Oh get over yourself, Quinn. Please, this isn't even anything! It's a fun bet thing.

(low-key want them to kiss at sunset but maybe not idk where this could go why do i ship them so much help)
Quinn jumped and took a deep breath as she heard a knock at her door. Running her hands through her hair and double-checking her appearance in the mirror, the Selected opened the door with an easy grin on her face, which quickly melted into a real smile as she saw the guard. "Gil! You're early, that's a first." She teased, hoping to calm her nerves with a joke. "Ready to lose this sunset bet?"

(good night Holly!)
Quinn rolled her eyes and stepped out; her heels had made her taller, almost eye-level with Gil now. "Alright then, Mr. Cocky Guard, show me the way." She said with a smirk. She was no longer ridiculously nervous, but rather calm; and slightly mad at her thoughts that kept reminding her how handsome he looked in his uniform. "I managed to not embarrass myself completely during tea with the Queen today by the way." The girl commented, wondering if she should take his arm, if they should just walk side by side, or what.

Quinn smiled. "Rooting for me, eh?" She took his arm, silently thanking him for taking the lead on that one. "I do have to say, Giselle's was quite amusing. Your friend Officer Dubois made sure of that." She tried really hard not to notice how steady he was, how strong his arm felt, how happy she was to be walking by his side... Quinn shook her head slightly as she walked with him, pulling herself out of her thoughts. Punishable by death. That stupid voice of the old creepy guy that told her the rules rang through her mind.

Roberta sat on the kitchen counter, smiling sweetly at her mother. It'd taken a fair amount of pleading and the promise of a large favor to be owed, but she'd convinced her to make that incredible chocolate cake that her mother always made for birthdays here in the palace. It was practically infamous among the staff and already Roberta had chased off a few staff members who were sniffing around. She watched as her mother carefully finished frosting it with several delicate flowers along the edge, then slid off the counter and wrapped an arm around her mother's waist. A kiss on the cheek and a thrilled thank you were all she took time for before carefully moving the cake over to a serving tray. She had someone to go see and didn't want to waste a minute.

Jaden smelled the chocolate cake and peeked in, spotting Roberta. "Hey, can I steal some?" He called jokingly, although if she said yes he wouldn't oppose.

This is sorta rushed sorry)
Gil let out a laugh at the idea of Juliette being let free to do what she wanted. "I love Juliette so much. Word of advice, don't get on her bad side. I don't think I'd be of much service to you if you ever did," he wanted her good naturedly as he led her up a flight of stairs. Gil knew perfectly well where he was taking her. It was to one of the old balconies in an old residential corridor that no one lived in anymore and was rarely guarded. He used to hang out in the empty rooms all the time as a kid, so they were somewhat special to him. Something about her was easy to talk to; easy to momentarily forget the whole situation they were in, forget if one sentence got too suggestive, even by mistake, he could be punished with his life. When the duo topped the stairs he led her to the empty hallway, relieved to see no one was stationed at it. Gil led her to one of the closed doors and opened it to reveal a furnished room with dust covers on the furniture, but he nodded his head towards the French doors that opened up to a pretty balcony. "Best spot in the house for sunsets. You'll never see anybody on this balcony, that's a promise."
Respond to this when you can/want!)
Fel had not forgotten about Roberta's promise for a cake night. She had changed into pajamas as soon as she arrived from dinner, her dark red dinner gown splayed across her bed. Fel sat at her desk, nervously playing with her nails, thinking about tea with the queen. She would like to say she made a good impression with the queen, but that wasn't her place to say. Fel looked at her reflection in the mirror, biting her lip, lost in thought at this point.

Roberta quickly covered the cake, tsking sharply, "Off with you, go get your own cake! Or beg my mother to make another." Lifting the platter carefully, she gave him a stern look, "Either way, you're not touching this one." There was a slight lift in his tone that implied he wasn't serious, but there was no way. Any other situation and she would have gladly shared, but not today and not this cake.

(You're good ^^)
Quinn laughed. "I'll remember that; never get on Juliette's bad side." She paused as Gil opened the door and her eyes widened with curiosity, stepping in and looking around, a smile creeping over her face as she walked through the room and then out onto the balcony. "Wow." She breathed, putting her hands on the rail and looking out, the skyline of Angeles, so foreign to her, breaking up the sky as the sun dipped closer to it's edge. If one looked down she could see the gardens in all it's glory, and she looked over to Gil with a raised eyebrow, refusing to act impressed; even as she was. "Alright, Officer Davenport, the moment of truth is drawing near."
Jaden laughed and put his hands up in front of him in a defensive motion. "Alright, alright, fine!" The boy shook his head. "Suit yourself! But you owe me one on my birthday!" He shook his finger playfully, showing he was hardly serious.

Gil came up next to her and braced his own hands on the rail, their shoulders almost touching. He had definitely relaxed in private - no way would he stand so close to her if they weren't. Gil had also known this was a fairly pretty spot, and let his eyes settle on the Angeles skyline. His home. He had enough wild nights out of the palace walls to know Angeles' streets well. "I'm telling you, Quinn, nothing's gonna compare," Gil ensured her confidently, turning his head to let his eyes meet hers, a small smile playing on his lips. Truth be told, he was actually excited for her to see this, to see a little part of the beauty that was his hometown, since she likely wouldn't have many opportunities to actually go into the city.

Quinn looked up at him, meeting his dark blue gaze with her green one. "Alright, well, we'll see." She teased, bumping him with her shoulder playfully, although truly she wanted to just relax into him, but that would convey too much, and we couldn't have that. As the sun drew closer to the horizon, the sky lit up with a blaze of orange and pink, contrasting the previous blue that had been there just moments compared. Quinn turned back to face the horizon as the sun dipped even lower, and she had to admit; it was beautiful. Her gaze locked on it, taking in all the colors with a faint smile playing across her lips. Dammit, sunset. Why you gotta go and make me lose? The Selected bit her lip, refusing to admit it.

She reached out and lightly swatted his wagging finger, smiling slightly, "Alright alright, I promise. A wonderful cake for your birthday, you great lout. Now excuse me." She stepped by him, managing to maneuver past him and out the door with the tray balanced easily in one hand. Giving him a small wave goodbye, she began to make her way upstairs, humming softly as she navigated the winding halls. It took a minute or two, as she was being far more careful than usual, but she finally arrived at Fel's door. Collecting herself, she took a moment, then lightly rapped her knuckles against the doorframe.

Jaden laughed. "I'll hold you to that!" He called to her as she left, before walking down into the kitchens to grab a water pitcher; his shift started soon, after all.

Gil had seen the sunset over Angeles countless times - this was nothing new to him. It was, however, new to share it with someone; this was why his eyes weren't locked in to the sky but rather Quinn. The faint smile had disappeared completely, and Gil was definitely losing at trying to fend off thoughts that shouldn't be there. He stayed quiet for a few moments, before finally mustering the courage to speak and break the silence. Softly, he asked, "Beautiful, isn't it?"
Fel had snapped to when she heard the knock on her door, and instantly knew who it was. "Coming!" She called out, almost leaping out of her chair in excitement to actually see someone she was comfortable around. When she opened the door, she knew a wave of relief washed over her face as she opened the door wider for Roberta to walk through. "I've been waiting for this all day," she confessed, "finally something I don't have to be extremely nervous about!"

Quinn blinked and looked back over to Gil, the atmosphere immediately changing as their gazes met and her heart sped up. "Yeah... it is." She breathed, turning so one hand was on the rail and the other by her side, trembling slightly as the nerves crept up again. Quinn had completely given up on warning herself against this; it was too late now. Her hand went to tuck her hair behind her ear and away from her face, and a small, intimate, shy smile crept over her cheeks again, as she glanced to the floor with a blush. Anndd... you're officially the worst person at hiding your feelings. She thought before forcing herself to look back at Gil.

Roberta couldn't help the grin as the door swung open to reveal Fel and how happy she was to see her. Or the cake. It was probably the cake, but Roberta was going to take any little victory she could. Sidling in, she set the serving tray down on the small round table in the corner, then looked over her shoulder and grinned, "I'm glad I can provide some relief in this stressful time. Speaking of which, how did the tea go?" As she spoke, she removed the cover to reveal the decadent cake, then stepped back to let Fel get a look at it before she began to cut into their dessert.
(g'night!)
