All kinds of Sirs and Ladies filtered in and out through the door and made their way to the outside where other festive games were gathered. Food of all kinds were displayed right outside the kitchens walls, safe from the sky and mother nature.
The princess, Momo Yaoyorozu, was being bantered with talk as she stood with her ladies. They tried cheering her up from the harsh news of her dear mother, but it did very little to sweeten her sour mood. They were outside, safe under the roof and near the kitchens and soldering through the varieties of fruits and dry foods for their stomachs for an appetizer.
"Don't look so down about it!" A brunette with short and straight hair told her. She had a small curl at the tips of the front strands that caressed under her chin, two more tied behind her head and decorated in pins. Her voice was pitched and the height of it always brought a smile to the princess for how childish it sounded. But it was as honest, as friendly.
"But I worry for my mother. We're so far away too and if something were to happen..." Momo urged as she looked around the room full of lively people. The brunette soon stepped into her view, tho, with an adored pull at her bottom lip and crossed arms.
"You worry all the time, momo. Have some fun for a change instead of taking on the Queen's duties." her face then turned into one of more smugness as her teeth showed behind those mischievous lips of hers. "And look at all the men here~ actual barbarians'.' The brunette pulled at the side of her lip a little with a small suggestive growl and fingers curling. Momo gasped with a giggle and a hand covering it as she lowered her friend's hand.
"Ochako!" she whisper-shouted and the brunette started laughing as well, her features reddening at the thought of her display. Momo, however, looked around too before nodding off to a certain man, tall and most definitely muscular. "Tho, I must admit some of them really do fit the title of being barbaric." She whispered and Ochako looked over along with her other friends to see who she was talking about. He was tall and broad shouldered, a hunk of a man that seemed to work as a Lumberjack if it weren't for the expensive wear. They bite their lips to hide their teasing grins as they gossiped, before the man himself turned to show parts of his face.
"No way." She mumbled before her features brightened as she looked over towards Momo with a flabbergasted expression. "That's Tenya Iida from Ukran city! He's one of the richest as his mother and father are basically the governors of the city!" She exclaimed before looking back at him to see his profile. Momo gazed back at her and watched him heave a bow to a bypasser with his head before sipping on a cup.
"So 'e's a noble." Another voice joined and they recognized the irish accent belonging to Kendo. Momo nodded before nudging her friend, Ochako looking over towards her in question only to see her eyeing the male.
"Go talk to him. I'm sure I've caught him looking your way." Momo quipped with a smile and Ochako looked back at the man once more before facing her with a blush, demeanor falling.
