Yukari sighs.

Somehow, filling the role of her parents has become more taxing than usual even though really all she's doing is sitting pretty on a throne and listening to a commander's report.

"This concludes the situation explanation, Your Highness," bows the armored man.

"Yes, yes, thank you," Yukari dully says, waving him off. "Please be dismissed."

Again, he bows and strolls out of the room. It's only once the massive doors shut that the princess relaxes and reaches for the food that had been brought to her during the report. Wait. She pauses.

To the side stands only one guard who, yes, looks incredibly bored too, but wow is she cute. Yukari doesn't particularly recall her being in the royal guard, though. Now all she needs is an excuse...

Ah.

"Guard."

The woman stiffens and whips around towards her princess. "Yes, Your Highness?"

Mustering as much strength as she can to keep a blank expression, Yukari offers her a slice of cake.

"Please taste-test this."

"Um.." The guard glances around uncomfortably before nodding and cutting a small yellow chunk with the fork accompanied with the platter. She brushes strands of platinum hair out of her azure eyes as she takes a bite. Immediately, a shock of pleasure passes over her face. "Oh my.."

Yukari suppresses a smile. "How is it?"

"Ah, um.. It's safe, Your Highness."

Giggling, Yukari leans forward in her seat. "What's your name?"

"M-my name? It's...IA."

IA, huh?

"That's a pretty name. Did you come from the northern region?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The monarch nods. "Recent recruit?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Interesting." Yukari gestures to the throne to her right, meant for her mother. "Sit. Why don't you try the wine, just to be safe?"

IA furrows her brows, vexed by the idea of taking the throne of the queen. Regardless, she complies and reaches for the little table, for the glass of red wine all while Yukari watches with growing amusement.

"Safe, Your Highness," mutters the guard as she returns the glass.

The princess picks up the cake that IA had sampled before. "Try the brioche."

Again, IA melts into the taste of a sweet confection, but the look leaves as quickly as it comes. "Safe, Your Highness."

Yukari clears her throat in attempts to hide her grin. "Good. And the steak?"

IA attempts to protest only to sigh and obey with barely contained excitement. "S-safe, Your Highness."

Crap. That's all for the day's lunch. Well, guess this is what Yukari gets for going overtime with her duties. The servants can only fit so much, after all. And she DID ask for something smaller than usual. Hopefully IA got the hint, but it'd be best to stall...

"I take it you enjoy these types of foods?"

"Er.. Yes, Your Highness."

"You may drop the formalities. It's just us anyways."

"Yes, Yo-.. Yes."

Yukari snorts, lowering her face to conceal a wide smile. "Good, good."

"Wh-what is it?"

"Oh, nothing. You know, if you'd like, you can dine with me for the time being. I'm sure we have long enough."

Panicked, IA shakes her head. "I.. I couldn't possibly! I'd.. I'd..."

The princess chuckles. "You'll be fine. I insist."

"Well, I, um.. Thank you.." IA lowers into an awkward bow, fists clenched and face flushed.

Cute..

Yukari hands the guard her own plate and utensils and promptly begins to dig into the slice of cake she'd been holding.

Still rather hesitant, IA takes her time with eating an assortment of the three foods presented. Her expression, however, suggests she's more than enjoying every second of it.

"You seem rather young," Yukari comments. "How old are you?"

"Fifteen."

"What? Really?" She must be quite talented then to be in the guard especially at that age and gender.

"Yes."

"Why the guard?"

IA shrugs. "My father and brother were in the royal guard. And, er, may I ask..?"

"Anything."

"What is this all about? It's not that I'm complaining, I'm just a bit confused."

"O-oh," Yukari nervously laughs. "It's nothing. I was just feeling bored."

"Bored?" IA questions.

"Something like that, yes. Just think of it as a date, maybe?"

Blushing furiously, IA tilts her head down. "A date... Alright, it's a date, Yukari."
