Anne looked up as Catie entered and mumbled a quick hello. It was too early for her to be planning something like a prank and she didn't want to cause an argument right now. Catie looked a little surprised at Anne's words but politely responded with "good morning".
They quickly lapsed back into silence as the minutes passed and it wasn't until Catie sat down at the table to eat that either queen spoke again. Anne dared to look up as she asked Catie who was in charge of the shopping this week. It was usually Jane, but sometimes someone else took control, and Anne would readily admit to not paying attention when they decided this. Catie puts down her drink and subtly rolls her eyes. She responds politely but bluntly, telling Anne she is in charge of shopping this week. Anne bites her lip, contemplating her next move. Deciding it was necessary, she quickly asks if Catie could pick up some more orange juice, quickly adding that it's for Kitty and not her. Catie looks slightly confused but nods and adds this to the list.
"Why didn't Kitty just ask me herself?" She wonders out loud. Anne sits quietly, eating her toast and ponders whether it's worth answering that. Eventually, she decides it shouldn't cause an argument and calmly informs Catie that Kitty is a little scared of her; in fact, all the queens are. Catie looks surprised at this new information. She sits and contemplates it for a few minutes while Anne keeps eating, taking way too long to eat a few pieces of toast. Both the queens are lost for what to say, and the tension between them is obvious. Catie looks up and hesitantly makes an offhand comment in an attempt to break the tension. "Your bedhead is really cute" she announces casually. Anne perks up in a way vaguely resembling a meerkat and smiles faintly. "... thanks?" She whispers hesitantly. "Just an observation you know" Catie responds. Anne looks a little confused but accepts it. "Wish it was as easy to untangle as it is cute" she whispers staring into the space behind Catie. A brief silence takes over before movement catches Anne's attention. Catie moves over to the sink and stares out the window. "Do you want me to help you untangle your hair?" Catie whispers, almost too quietly for Anne to hear. Anne looks over and responds, loud enough to break the tension up completely. "I- yeah that'd be great Catie. I really should tie it up like Kitty does I just forget". Catie nods although her shorter hair rarely tangled the way Anne's was right now.
A few minutes elapsed as Anne ran and got her detangling spray and hairbrush. Ten minutes later, Jane walks in. Expecting absolute chaos, she's shocked to find Catie brushing Anne's hair as they talk. Anne glances over and smiles at Jane. "Morning Jane" Catie chirpily announces. Jane responds and also addresses Anne, who answers. "Y'know when Kitty said you two were in here alone I wasn't expecting to find this" Jane admits. "What were you expecting to find?" Catie inquires, genuinely intrigued. "Honestly? Chaos, destruction and maybe a dead body. You two aren't exactly known for getting along". Anne chuckles and informs Jane that sometimes she can behave. "Especially if it means someone does my hair for me" she adds.
