Keeper of A Latte Secrets

Phel allowed himself a smile. "I certainly would not be opposed, Thea. Twould be a proper way to test if what I had to reteach myself still holds. I remember a majority of the manuals and books of politics and custom that were still left to me and I hope I have retaught myself well. However, practice shall not be replaced by anything. Shall we?"

Evidence. It was finally settling in more and more that Princess Theadora had to be telling the truth about their past. Duedephelon nodded gently. "May I see them? Dost thou still know the way they were solved? Were they obtained or created? Is there ought of their creation that you believe would be familiar to me? What? What? What? What? What?"

He repeated his question again and again and again, mulling the pondering over in his head. What would this spark if he tried to solve it? Could he remember making it? What if it was familiar? What if it wasn't? He didn't like he didn't have an answer to that yet.

"I could resolve them, I'm sure though- I think resetting at least one of them may be harder than solving it." She laughed lightly. "but I can show you! I'm also uncertain what it would be familiar, but let's go get them." She motioned for him and headed off towards the corner of the library her desk was in.

@alattesecrets for a plotted starter

It was another fancy party that the kings were holding, and that means that nearly every prince and princess was expected to be there. While Elizabeth had her excuse of being too busy with military matters for courting as per orders of her grandfather, Prince Elias did not have that luxury.

Weak, sickly from a well concocted brew, and hanging onto his date with a hobble, the 'prince' had to remind himself to be... himself. It was painful in how both familiar and unfamiliar it was. Elizabeth leaned to Theadora and whispered. "Thanks, Thea." Before remembering that she had to stop using her voice. Elias spoke up again. "Thank you for accompanying me, Theadora." It felt weird to not use the vocal training, but Elizabeth did know that her brother sometimes needed to make appearances. At least they had the excuse that he was simply too unwell to stay long or to get up and dance or talk for long.

She kept her arm around Elizabeth, or well, Prince Elias was who others saw right now. She knew the concoction would make her unwell enough to make the facade seem legitimate. "Of course, Elias. It's always a pleasure." She smiled, sincerely.

Pushing her surprise aside, Octavia gave a nod before leading the way to one of the more secluded tables next to a window. Once seated with treats in hand, Octavia gave Thea a sheepish smile. "Thanks for agreeing to sit with me. It's...nice having company for a change." Especially someone that wasn't her mother or uncle.

Thea (+Food Truck/Coffee Shop)

Thea's coffee shop is called Spill The Tea! Espresso and Tea Bar. It can travel across different rings. Often favoring the rather populated pride ring, as well as gluttony. I don't have exact images but I'll try to draw them at some point.

"I would certainly hope not. One bad lick could implode your stomach into a black hole!" He said adjusting his glasses and looking up at Thea. His eyes grew wide, his tail flicked open and close, as he took in the beautiful hummingbird before him.

"I- really hope that doesn't happen." She looked down at him, though briefly contemplating that. Then deciding not to picture further right as she noticed the way he was looking at her.

She blinked at him a moment, clearly very surprised at his words. Her cheeks warming. Her feathers seeming to tinge slightly red as well. "Stunning? Ah- thank you!" She flickered her eyes away seeming to look anywhere else for a moment before she recomposed herself. Usually she had time to prepare for comments like that at a ball or event when others were trying to win her over.
