Full of blues and greens, the Siren Floor was made to remind Lucianna of her homeland. There is a river that flows through the garden in complex twists and turns, feeding the various plants and flowers she grows and eventually emptying out into a large hot spring. When one first enters the floor, her office space is directly to right, and inside there is nothing but the strict air of business. It is modeled after her father's own office space at home, and many of the decorations are more suited to his tastes than her own. Her bedroom, however, has been made to further her love of the ocean. In the day, the walls are brightly colored but at night, they shift to more muted tones.
There was a couple of loud knocks on Lucy's door as her sister wailed for her to open up. The girls were somewhat close and Yvette always had tried to be a fun sister to her younger one. They only real friction came with their younger brother. Yvette had naturally felt threaten by his birth. She was in an odd position even as an heir. She was over the top cautious sometimes. She was well aware that someone who wasn't fond of her could kill her, but for now she was just Lucy's big sister who popped in on her without warning.
♈❃ Lucianna had spent the entire morning in her office. She had attempted to write several different letter, addressed to various people from her home. There was one for her father, the king, and her mother, the queen. There was even one for her littler brother and a set for the friends she had left behind in Spain. Yet not a single one had been finished, since she had begun to find it increasingly difficult to contact these people. Homesickness had set in again, and she really didn't look forward to facing so many strangers later in the afternoon. Quietly, she left the office, abandoning the letters and planning to relax in the hot spring within her garden.
Lucy was halfway to her bedroom to change when she heard the knocking. It wasn't exactly rare for people to knock, no other diplomat or townsperson would risk offending her, but the voice calling out to her was completely unexpected. Turning on her heel, she ran to the door, yanking it open as she practically squealed with surprise. "Vetty!" She hugged her sister, showing more emotion in these five seconds than she had in the months she had lived in Janhall. If anyone else happened to appear on her floor now, they probably wouldn't even recognize the girl. "When did you get here? Why are you here?" Despite the occasional tension between her half sister and family, the war had taught Lucianna to live in the moment. And since this moment contained her fun, exciting sister, she had no reason to be frowning.

Yvette was happy to feel her sister's arms around her and soon the old sister was doing the same. "I hope you don't mine. I told Lyn I was going to be in town, so she may come over." The princess warned. She took in a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Something was wrong and she wasn't that good at hiding her emotions from anyone. "Caesar and I had a fight and I didn't want to be near dad." The woman answered. "He keeps asking when are going to get married and I didn't need it." That was when Yvette lost it and started to cry. Not a few tears, it was more like a wail.
♈❃ Stepping back once she had finished hugging her sister, Lucy listened intently as Yvette spoke. If Lyn was in town as well, she wouldn't be surprised to see the older woman here as well. Her expression shifted as she realized that Yvette was having trouble at home. Between their father and Caesar, she knew a lot could be weighing on her mind. The idea that their father would be pushing Vetty to get married was so hypocritical...and typical! Their father had left Yvette's mother before she was even born, so why should he put so much pressure on her? When the tears began, Lucy's eyes widened slightly, her mind racing as to what she should do. It was tough to see Yvette cry. Her older sister was so strong, independent, and noble. She everything Lucianna aspired to be. "Do you wanna' grab a bite and talk about stuff?" she asked quickly before pulling out a small, pocket pack of tissues. She offered one to Yvette as she managed a faint smile, hoping to cheer up her big sis. Absently, she dipped down to pick up her bag, which had been resting just inside the doorframe. "You know I'm a terrible excuse for a cook. Very unprincess-like behavior."

Yvette took the tissue and pulled out one. Sometimes it was tough to be the heir. She was always trying to please everyone and since she earned her spot the woman had been attacked by conservative parties left and right. If she messed up even a little it could spell trouble. Having been with Caesar for so long had started up the question of marriage. "Princesses have cooks. We don't need to." Yvette joked to her sister. If anything happened to her before she had a grown child then she wanted her sister to take the throne. Then again she really didn't know her brother much at all. "I wonder if dad found that pregnancy test. Do you know if it turns blank after a certain amount of time? If he found it blank then that's one thing, if he found it with the positive that would be another. Then again there was also the second test I took at Caesar's house just to be sure."
♈❃ Smiling as Yvette spoke about the various roles of their maids, she couldn't help but point out, "Well, the war scared a lot of them off. Remember Maria? She's in London now...I miss her apples pies..." Her voice droned off as she remembered the sweet crust and delicious apples her former maid had used. It had been a highlight of Lucianna life, gone when the war got really bad. She had even tried to make a pie herself, and almost started a fire when it got burned. Her gaze remained distant with the memories until her sister spoke again, snapped her out of the reverie.
"What?" Lucy felt her body turn rigid as she processed what had been said. Her sister was...pregnant? Yvette had said it was positive, right? And she had taken two tests? "Oh my." A part of her was worried sick over her sister's new condition. A child meant new complications and danger. The right-wing conservatives who wanted her life would go crazy with the urge to kill her now; the thought was terrifying. Yet...on the other hand, Lucy was elated at the prospect of being an aunt. Yvette would be an amazing mother. Doing her best to focus on the brighter side, she said, "Yes. Uh, yeah. The tests turn blank after like a day, I think." Her mind was still whirring with questions and ideas as she spoke up again, "You've told Caesar then? Is that...What does he think?" She wasn't sure if that was the cause of the fight Yvette had mentioned earlier, so she tried to ask without being too forceful.

Yvette had forgotten the war had scared many people away. The only ones left were always in the palace making good money because of the demand. She still didn't have to worry since she lived there. The woman then turned her attention to her sister and her unborn child. "Next question is when to the maids take out the trash. If one of them found it and showed dad well..." The girl didn't want to know if their father found out about his grandchild. "As for the one at Caesar's I put it in his kitchen garbage. Unless he saw it you are officially the only one who knows Aunty Lucy. I haven't totally thought up Godparents yet, but Lyn and Donny are at the top of the list. I think I want our cousins as well and I've figured out names too since we have to have special royal names." The Siren Princess told her sister.
The woman pulled out a piece of paper and started to tell her sister what she had thought up. "I need two more middle names for the boy, but so far I have Christian Seth as the first name and first middle name and as for the girl I have Isabel Tabitha Aurora Dawn." She told her sister the possible name of the baby. She was trying to stick family names in there. From her family not from her step-family. Yvette never recognized Lucy's mother as queen and refused to do so because her step-mother represented all that was wrong with older beliefs. That was no reason for Lucy to pay the price. "I also want you to be Queen Regent if anything happens to Caesar or me." She added.
♈❃ While her worry grew as Yvette mentioned how easily her test could be found in the trash by gossiping eyes. Still, it was hard to avoid the growing sense of excitement she had. The fact that Lyn and Donny, best friends of Yvette, were probably going to be name godparents was unsurprising, but fitting. The two had always been sweet to Lucy, and even her little brother seemed to like them. Feeling her smile widen as names were listed, she nodded her head with energy when she heard the ones that she particularly like. Christian for their grandfather, a man Lucy had never known but knew was kind and gently from hearing Yvette's stories. Of course, their father's name would be nice: Seth. If her sister was going to have a girl, there was actually a wider selection of names to choose from; It seemed at if both the Solindo's and Kent's had had more girls than boys over the generations. "I'm sure Tabby would be flattered. And Aurora always said she expected to have at least one child named after her." Lucianna laughed, remembering how vain her elder cousin could get. Dawn's name would be a kind touch as well, as she did die in defense of the family and countless innocents...and she had been born as a twin to Aurora.
It was only Yvette's last sentence that brought water to Lucy's eyes. She didn't even want to consider the idea of her being injured or...worse. It was too scary. Instead, she wrapped her sister in another hug, ignoring the paper between them as she said, "You know I will always be here to help." She stepped back, but kept ahold of Yvette's arm as she added, "Let's get some pie to celebrate!" Right now, Lucy was determined to keep her big sister from worrying too much. Whatever argument had occurred between the heiress and Caesar could wait. Their father could wait. Yvette's mother could wait. Everything could wait except for pie.

Yvette let out a chuckle. "Do you remember the name of our uncle. Maybe we could use his name in the boys name and then Caesar's father's name." She told her sister as she smiled. She enjoyed the hug. "I know you'll be there when I need you most." She told her sister wrapping her arms around her. "I am sure the baby will be happy to have a great aunt too." She added. She then pulled out her phone. "Let me text Lyn first. It's been forever and a day. Do you know if Donny and her are still dating. I mean after you know what happened."
((Read Spoiler))
Iced Cherry Latte
So what happened is someone found out that Nanami was a demon and not born an angel like she was supposed to be. They then started to question Ren about who she was sleeping with and Len jumped to her defense, but at the cost of exposing Nanami as his true born daughter, and thus there was something wrong with Len.
Len went Super Saiyan Dark Wizard and escaped with Nanami and leaving Donny and his mother to protect his sister. Donny in response turned into an emo kid for a while and got really depressed. So much so that he refused to eat even sweets. After that he was shipped away to boot camp for a while before he returned as an angel solider.
♈❃ It was one thing for Lucy to know how loyal she was to to her sister, but it was something else entirely for Yvette to be sure of how loved she was. Grinning now, she took few steps to her left, gently guiding Yvette through the diplomatic floor. As they walked she tried to remember their uncle's name. It was still a rarely mentioned topic in their household, as the man in question had run away and abdicated his title of heir for the sole purpose of marrying an elf. Needless to say, the current king had not been happy all those years ago. "Victor." she said after a few more moments of consideration. She was positive that was his name. Although he and the elf woman were now deceased, their daughter still lived and visited very rarely. It only made sense for Yvette and Lucy's father to accept his niece as family once he had crossed the line by making his own illegitimate daughter the Crown Princess.
Unable to stop smiling, especially when she was called "aunt" once again, she stopped walking when Yvette asked to sent a text first. The question she was asked drew a shrug. "I'm not sure, since they're your friends. I don't have a cool entourage like you." she teased while taking a moment to actually consider what she had recently heard of either friend. "I just know that Lyn released a new album last week. It's most popular song has been the top of every chart, both in and out of the Veil." Lucianna tensed up as she recalled the lyrics of said song, realizing what it must have been inspired by. "Uh-oh...I think the song's about Donny. She must be really hurting." While she spoke, she slipped her own phone out of her bag and brought up the web browser. Releasing Yvette's arm, she typed quickly to find the song. Hitting play once the video was loaded, she moved the phone close enough for Yvette to listen.

Yvette smiled. "Christian Seth Victor, now for asking Caesar's padre for the use[ of his name." Yvette commented letting a little Spanish slip in. She couldn't help it sometimes. She spoke it most of the time save for when she was talking to their father or her mother. Then her sister twisted from her grip and started to play the song. "Oh my darling Lyn you are such an open book." She commented. "Okay. I'm buying you congratz pie and Lyn heartbreak pie." She hadn't gotten around to listen to her friends new music yet since she found out she was pregnant right after getting it. The woman thought for a moment and started to get on Monster book. "Messaging Donny." She told her sister with an evil wink in her eye as she started to move her fingers. "Having trouble, please meet me at pie place. I have something I really need to talk to you about, and it's not about Lyn." Yvette wasn't totally lying. She needed to ask him to be her godparent, but because of his awkward disappearance it may be hard for him to talk to Lyn.
((Sorry, but had that planned out since Reeds. What was the original plan?))
♈❃ It was hard to hold back more laughter when Yvette began her message to Donny. Sure, Yvette was fibbing a little, but she wasn't totally lying. Lyn and Donny were still her best friends, so the heiress was obviously trying to what was right. Keeping quiet so as not to interrupt her concentration, she only spoke when the deed was done. "Alright, let's go~ The best thing in this town are the pies at this little café."

Amos laughed sarcastically at the teasing jab Kat gave him. The walked and talked as they retreated from the stables and out onto the main road where they could hopefully find a bus. "I don't recall anything about a princess. But even so, I'm beyond what you're thinking. I'm not some pervy old man who hangs out on buses looking down women's cleavage. Besides, if your siren friend is a "princess" she's probably way to young for me."
As the two walked, Amos could feel himself becoming a haggard mess. Aides had really done a number on him with her undead posse. "That woman." Amos murmured. "Kat. After your siren friend nurses me, you'll need to be careful. There's psychotic death goddess wannabe on the loose. She's extremely dangerous. Even worse, she's targeting you to get to me." The white haired mercenary breathed heavily as he tried to muster whatever strength he had. He hated himself for being so tired and such a burden. The old man was practically naked against the supernatural in his current state. Even worse, he didn't have any weapons. The mercenary would have to make a call later.
Soon, as if by luck, a bus had come to pick up the two and take them to see this siren friend of Kat's. Amos was eager to rest as his lungs felt like they were on fire.
Katrina was well aware of the princess' age, leading to a small shrug of agreement that Amos was probably to old to attract her attention. Instead of adding another joke, she listened as they stepped off of the bus, taking in every detail spoken about the woman he had faced the previous night. His tone sounded serious to her, and his aura was further proof that he meant what he was saying; this necromancer was completely insane, and she meant to hurt more than just Amos himself. "How would attacking me help her?" she asked, a brow raised in confusion. This woman, would have no reason to specifically attack her...unless Lily was aware that Kat held a charm for the town's veil removal and cared enough to want it. It was plausible, but from the description Kat had of Lily, she didn't seem coordinated enough for that to be her point of focus. It seemed more likely that they were facing a crazed woman who wanted something from Amos, and was willing to hurt anyone and anything within reach. "She sounds like a berserker."
After a few more steps, they were at the doors of a gigantic tower. Katrins held the door open for Amos before showing the way to the elevator. Usually, the nurse would always suggest taking the stairs, but this wasn't really a normal or healthy situation. Once a lift arrive and they stepped in, she pushed a couple of buttons, directing them to the floor designated for visiting Siren politicians and embassy officials. It was a fairly simple hallway, with a few paintings that all had some element of water and music in their themes. A few doors in, she finally stopped, wasting no time with soft knocks. When the door opened, however, Kat was caught off guard.
After hearing a series of urgent knocking, a man answered the door. Clearly, he wasn't who these people expected to see, if the look on the woman's face was any sign. He rose a brow in confusion, his voice polite as he asked, "Yes?"
Katrina frowned, but when she spoke, she showed no signs of irritation. "I'm sorry your majesty, but we were hoping to find your daughter here. Is she out?" It would be very annoying if the princess was out somewhere, busy and unable to help."She is. I was hoping to catch her before I returned home, but I suppose the excitement of her sister's wedding has her off with some friends."Well that wasn't very much help, thought Kat. The princess was an official ambassador to the town, so she could be called upon for help without much ceremony. Her father, however, was someone Katrina had seen briefly once before. Asking for his help would be asking a great deal, but at the moment, Kat was out of options. Amos was injured and she knew that this would be the quickest and most painless way to get him feeling back to normal."In that case," she began slowly, trying to think of the simplest way to request a king's help, "I would like to ask for your assistance. My friend here, Amos, was attacked last night and his wounds will take weeks to heal properly. May I ask that you grant him one song for healing?"
"Of course. This town has the full support of my people, and if I am able to help, I always will." It was such a simple response, but the moment he had spoken it, he could see how relieved this woman was. Clearly, she had been banking on his daughter being available for the task. With her out, the king was perfectly aware that his presence must have been unexpected. If the situation didn't seem so serious, he would have laughed at how formally he was being treated. Not that he didn't loved the regal attention, of course; it just seemed like an inappropriate time to be reminded of how powerful he was. So with a kind smile, the king motioned for the two to come inside, helping the man to the couch. "Amos, right? For now, you both can just call me Seth. I don't really have to be reminded of my position all the time, even if I like to...And your name?" he asked, looking to the woman in question."Katrina." she stated simply, relief obvious in her voice that the king's personality coincided with the princess she knew. That made this whole interaction much less stressful, and considering the headache she still had, Kat wanted to stress as little as possible.
