As the door creaked open there stood a man, a man with large black feathers that stood behind him, intimidatingly. He wore a green and white striped bucket hat, and from underneath pieces of blond hair poked out. A dark green inner robe could be seen underneath a black outer robe, the cuffs framed with green. Scattered around him like confetti was crows, talking crows.

"Late-za"

"E"

"WOMAN"

"Enemy?"

"Who is that?"

"I'm lost"

"I'm confused"

"THE BLADEEEEE"

 

Ophelia's eyes opened wide with confusion as she stared between the man to the crows to Technoblade. "This is Philza" Technoblade introduced. Ophelia shook her head slightly as if to shake off her bewildered look.

She extended her hand, the back of it facing towards Philza and introduced herself, "Ophelia." Upon this Phil took her hand, bowing slightly and pressing her knuckles to his lips momentarily before letting it go. Embarrassment secretly rose to Technoblade's face, after realizing thats what she wanted when she extended her hand to him before.

"Princess? I'm assuming" Philza spoke, his voice calm and reassuring. Ophelia gave him a 'how-did-you-know' look and he gave a soft smile and said "Only royals greet each other with hand kisses, everyone else just gives a handshake."

Technoblade stepped foward, speaking, "She is going to be staying here for a bit, if that's alright with you." Philza gave a smile "Of course thats okay with me Techno." After his words he took a moment to look at the girls attire before turning back to her. "I'm so sorry for Techno's poor manners we'll get you something to wash up with in a second" Philza said, giving Techno a playful scorn. "HEH"

"Dadza"

"Dadza has adopted a new child"

"Dadza scolding his son"

"awww Philza is so caring"

Philza quieted the birds and turned back to the girl. "I'm sure my wife will have something for you for tonight. Tomorrow Techno will take you to the market."

"MUMZA"

"WE GET TO SEE MUMZA"

"MUMZA MUMZA MUMZA"

"yaaay mumza"

"mumza <3"

Philza sighed before telling the two that he'd be back and left again, crows following behind.

Ophelia turned to face Technoblade and gave a grin " "Techno" huh?" she asked teasingly, "I thought your name was Technoblade" Technoblade didn't even bother to look at her, clearly unamused. The girl gave a huff and muttered something about a stick in the mud as Technoblade walked out the door.

Ophelia wasn't alone for long before Philza returned, this time with folded clothing in his hands. He smiled nervously "Sorry it took so long, my wife was insistent on making you a new dress instead of giving you a hand-me-down, and upon hearing you were staying the night she also insisted on a nightgown."

Philza first handed Ophelia the dress, and she looked at it, amazement clearly shining in her dark brownish green eyes. It was truly beautiful, and looked just as good of quality as the dresses that were made for her at the castle. The dress was dark blue, with black accents along the skirt and black lace ruffles at the end of the long sleeves. Then Philza handed her the nightgown, baby blue in color, simple, comfortable, and pretty.

After admiring the dress and gown Ophelia looked at Phil with great admiration "Please give your wife all of my gratitude this is, beyond amazing" Philza smiled sweetly at the girl "Of course. Oh! and also," He said, grabbing his bag and pulling out a pair of shoes. They were flat, like slippers. "My wife apparently knows a lot about your kind, and she says that in your home habit it is unnecessary for you to wear shoes and if you plan on being here well, you're gonna need some" he said, chuckling slightly at the girls cheeks that has lightly tinted pink with embarrassment.

"Thank you Philza, you guys have shown me endless amounts of kindness and I swear to you, if theres anything I can do to repay you I will do it with no hesitation" Ophelia said, with a look behind her eyes that showed she meant every bit of what she said.

Techno walked back through the door and thw two stopped their conversation to turn the attention to him. "I got a bucket of water and a rag waiting for you to wash." He said, looking towards Ophelia and point behind him, towards another room. Ophelia hesitated for a second, nervously looking between Technoblade, where he was pointing at, and Philza.

Luckily Philza caught on and cleared his throat before turning to the tall man beside him. "Technoblade..." he said cautiously "she's going to need help. Royals aren't taught how to bathe themselves." Technoblade quickly caught on to what Phil was saying "HEH?!"

Ophelia looked at the floor shamefully, not wanted to meet either Philza's sympathetic eyes or Technoblade's panicked ones. "Just," Philza started taking a deep breath, "help her with her face and arms until I can come back with mumza." Technoblade huffed and grumbled to the girl for her to follow him as he walked out the door.

Ophelia looked at Phil with thankful eyes before saying "he doesn't like me too much, does he?" Philza gave her a sad smile before replying "It takes awhile to crack his shell, but don't worry, I have a feeling you can really break down his walls."
