"I don't know about you but I'm taking a shower." Keira grabbed a change of clothes. Choosing to wear a set of her own that she packed. She pulled out a pair of black vans, black capris that were studded at the hem and a red fitted shirt.
"But Keira! I'm hungry!"
"So what? You weren't the one sweating your butt off in a fight. So deal with it." Keira walked into the bathroom.
Sylvia plopped on Keira's bed. "Ugh!"
After a few minutes of silence she decided it'd be a good thing to change too. Her dress was a bit dirty from sitting on the ground earlier. She left Keira's room and made her way down to hers. She was about to open her door when an arm snaked around her waist and pulled her back.
She knew who it was by the way her stomach did flips and fluttered with butterflies. "Going somewhere?" A husky voice whispered in her ear.
She turned to face him. "You idiot! Don't ever touch me again! Do you think that after everything that happened that I'd submit myself to you?! Well guess what Mister! I'm not!" With that she stormed into her room leaving a stunned and hurt Alexander to himself.

Keira stepped out of the washroom to find a teed off Sylvia, in a light blue gown, sitting in an armchair. She raised a brow at her but Sylvia said nothing.
Keira quickly pulled on her clothes and slipped on her shoes. She towel dried her hair and let it fall around her shoulders. "You still hungry?"
Sylvia perked up at that and jumped up. "Yes!" She hauled Keira out the door and down the hall. She turned corners and went down and up flights of stairs.
"Uh, Sylvia? Do you have any clue where you're going?"
"Uh, well, I thought it'd be close by but I guess not." Sylvia giggled and scratched the side of her head.
Keira shook her head at her. "What are we going to do with you?"
"Feed me." Sylvia beamed.
Keira stopped a passing maid. "Excuse me, Miss. I was hoping you could show us the way to the kitchens."
The maid looked at her shocked. She obviously wasn't used to being spoken kindly to. Her face flushed but then she quickly curtsied and stood up again. "My Lady, I could have food brought up to your rooms if you'd like. To save you the trouble from going all the way there."
Sylvia shook her head. "No thank you. We'd just like to head down to the kitchens please."
The maid once again looked startled but reluctantly nodded her head. "Follow me." She led them down a hall and took a flight of stairs down to the first floor. She walked down another hall towards the end where thick wooden doors were placed. "Here we are," she said bowing her head.
"Thank you so much," Keira and Sylvia said in unison. They smiled at each other.
The maid merely nodded, rather flustered, and scurried away.
Keira opened the door and allowed Sylvia to go in before her. As they stepped inside all the bustlings of the kitchen stopped. Cooks and servants all looked at them in unease. They all began to bow and curtsy to them, mainly Sylvia, and then stood awkwardly about.
"Please do not let us interrupt your work," Keira said in a soothing tone. "The princess only wished to have something to snack on, that's all. We'll steer clear out of your way." She smiled at them genuinely and they all seemed to untwine just a bit. They noticeably were unused to seeing people of rank down here.
