When the music drew to a close, Adelina's eyes opened, not realizing she had been dancing around the room until she looked and found herself standing in a different spot than she was before. She looked over at the piano and saw that Orren was looking in her direction. Her cheeks reddened in a slight blush at being caught dancing. She cleared her throat slightly and glanced to the side, wondering what to say. But it seemed the prince beat her to it. At his question, she turned her head towards him. "Yes, your mag- Orren. James gave me a brief tour and lead me to my room. It's very beautiful and grand." She hesitated for only a split second before she made her way over to him, admiring the piano as she approached. She ran a gentle finger over one ivory key. She didn't see many pianos, none of the town's people could play one and they were quite expensive besides. She pressed down softly and smiled at the note that rang out softly. She wondered if she could learn how to play. She turned her attention to Orren, a question on her lips.

"Does the castle have a library? I didn't see one on the tour James gave me." A library would be wonderful. She didn't have much time to read at home but when she had spare time, she would go to the small bookstore and sit in there and read for as long as she could.

Adelina turned and surveyed the room, her eyes widening slightly. It was so big and grand! She had never seen such luxury and she almost half-turned to James to ask if she had been given the room because surely this must have been the prince's room! But her doubts were dispelled when James handed her the key then bowed out, shutting the door behind me. Adelina turned to the room once more, eyes taking in everything. She placed her bag by the foot of the bed and began exploring her new room. She pressed one hand against the mattress and marveled at how soft and squashy it was. She had half a mind to throw herself onto the bed but she was dirty from her journey and in need of a bath. She gathered up a change of clothes and opened the only other door in the room, revealing the bathing chambers. Even the bathrooms were nice! She set her change of clothes and grabbed a towel from a nook in-set into the wall by the tub.

She examined the strange knobs, having not seen anything like it. At home, they had a tub that they filled with water heated over the fire. She twisted one of the knobs to the right and jumped slightly as water began to pour into the tub. She blinked her eyes in astonishment, running a hand under the water. It was hot! It poured hot water! After playing around with the knobs she discovered that the other knob poured out cold water and soon had the tub filled with water to the temperature she liked. She shucked off her dirty clothing and folded them neatly so they wouldn't wrinkle, placing them on the floor to wash later and stepped into the tub. She sighed, relaxing into the water and submerging herself nearly up to her nose.

She soaked for some time but soon she washed her hair and body with rose-scented soap she had made herself and brought with her. She dried off and after a few moments struggle, figured out how to drain the tub. She dressed in a red dress and sat down at the vanity, brushing out her long lockes, then pulling the top half of her hair back into a pony-tail. She slipped on some slippers and exited the bathroom. Not really ready to go to sleep, she left the room with the desire to explore. James had showed her where everything was on the tour but she wanted to examine each room more thoroughly. But first, she followed the soft music to the ballroom. She slipped inside and examined the form at the piano.

Who knew such large and fierce hands could produce such a beautiful melody. Her fingers itched, she wished there was a violin she could play. She had forgotten to pack hers, thinking she wouldn't need it here plus not wanting to damage it in the travel. It was a gift from her mother and though she knew she could sell it and make a pretty penny off of it, Ciel had flat-out refused to let her sell it and though she made feeble protests, it tore her heart at the thought of selling it. She returned her attention to the present, swaying side to side slightly as she closed her eyes, letting the music swirl around her as a smile graced her lips.

Adelina remained quiet as the prince told his tale, chewing thoughtfully on her apple as she soaked in his words and processed them. She set the core down and used a napkin to wipe the juice off of her fingers and around her mouth. She kind of felt sorry for him. Sure, in retrospect it was his fault the he was cursed but they all have their bad days and it was unfair of fate to throw that change at him on a bad day. Now he's paying unfairly for a momentary lapse in judgment and morals. She didn't speak it out loud but she could feel determination creeping up that compelled her to find a way to break the curse. Cardlin was always saying she had a soft heart and couldn't bare to not lead assistance when someone was in need and she was proving her brother right in the current moment. The prince was helping out her family more than he knew so she planned on returning the favor. Breaking a curse was no small feat but she felt confident she was up to the job.

As the paperwork was set down in front of her, she leaned forward so she could read through it. Once it was all read through, the contract as he had already stated, she grasped the writing untensil that had been laid beside the paperwork and signed her name where it was needed. "A year doesn't sound too bad. I think I can manage that." She said with a smile in his direction. And a year gives me time to find a way to break the curse. She added to herself silently. The papers now signed, she relaxed into her seat, content with the knowledge that her family would be in good financial standing. "So how would you like me to address you?" She inquired. His ranking dictated her to call him "your majesty" or "your highness". But since she worked for him should she call him "sir"?

@XxLyraxX

A piano! That sounds like a full day on it's own. :P

@Wick

Yeah, especially since there was a lot of stuff and around the piano we had to move first. But I've eaten dinner, I have my drink and I have my music so I'm definitely ready to reply

@Wick

Yuppers. I went to the park today with the family and then I had to help move the piano.

Magic Apprentices

Lilia Winchester

Appearance:
Standing at 4'0, Lilia has a slender and petite build. She isn't very strong physically-wise but is quick on her feet and nimble with her fingers. She had light brown that tumbles passed her waist in slight curls and her fringe of bangs tends to fall in her bright blue eyes that have small flecks of gold in them that can be seen in the right lighting.

Name:
Lilia Cardlin Winchester

Age:
14

Talent:
Water, Air, Telekinesis

Grimoire Appearance:

Hider

First Spells:
1. Water: Taking small amounts of water and bending it into small shapes, such as spheres and being able to hold the shape together
2. Air: Making a feather levitate from the palm of her hand
3. Telekinesis: Moving small objects across a surface

Personality:
At first glance, Lilia would seem like a bubbly child, bouncing all over the place however once someone actually takes the time to talk to her they realize that appearances don't always portray the person. Filled with seemingly an infinite amount of patience, Lilia is the type to gather all the parts of the story, even what may seem like insignificant details, before she choses what action to take. Even it is takes a long time, even if others would have given up by this point, Lilia keeps moving forward until she feels she knows enough to make a correct judgment. Seeing the glass as half-full, Lilia knows that there can be good in everyone and she can be very persistent in sticking around long enough to show everyone else what she sees. That isn't to say she tries to force her ideals onto others, even if others don't necessarily agree with her, she is satisfied so long as they acknowledge her point, even if they don't have to like it.

Not exactly shy, Lilia prefers to wait for others to initiate the conversation, however long that may take. Lilia also can have a habit of annoying others, prompting them to just walk away because she may be taking too long at making a decision. Hand-in-hand with her patience is also her stubbornness. Once she puts her foot down, it takes a lot to move her. (Metaphorically speaking. Come on, she's about as heavy as maybe a sack of flour.) Lilia is not angered easily, which also can annoy those looking to get a rise out of her. However, this isn't to say she is like a brick wall. She has feelings and they do tend to get hurt. However Lilia tends to hide those type of emotions away from view and instead put on a smile. It could lead to those around her having to show patience in trying to get her to admit that something is wrong. Some are rather shocked by how grow up she acts sometimes.

History:
To say Lilia had been loved as a child would be over-exaggerating. Her father, an Irish man, was a wealthy business man for a computer company and her mother, an Englishwoman, didn't work. Her parents had not married for love but to bring two wealthy families together. Her father was always at work and her mother was out at parties all hours of the day; that being when they weren't moving everywhere on the face of the planet because of her father's work.. Everywhere they went Lilia's parents always hired some kind of nanny to watch her. Her parents never paid attention to her and when they did they were detached, not really caring about the conversation going on. Lilia did everything she could think of to get her parents to notice her. She eventually stopped trying after she made a horrible grade on a test just to see how they would react. Her father never looked up from his tablet and her mother just gave her a customary glance, replying “That’s nice dear.” Lilia faded into the background and even though she was surrounded with so much stuff, she was horribly lonely. So one day she just...left. Clearly she was being a burden on her parents, which was why they were ignoring her so much. She knew her mother had a sister that lived sort of close by so Lilia decided she would go live with her.

However, on her journey through the streets, she discovered an odd shop. Ducking inside, Lilia's journey began.

Other:
She is claustrophobic and afraid of heights and the dark. She has a soft spot for animals and she is fairly good at drawing.
