@hecrowned : ❛ wanna try it ? ❜
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 ; one second turns to two then five and finally a minute passes in chilling silence. It’s clear as day that the treat is extended like an olive branch , but just looking at it causes her stomach to turn. She never got ‘ treats ’ on the Isle. They were lucky enough to have Kronk frequenting to put together dinner more nights than not but Aklla and Yzma had gone weeks on expired canned food. A fresh can of spam was what they considered a treat. No wonder they were all so peachy here. The cupcake sits in splayed out palms , and everything about the prince screams WELCOME. Home should be the next word to follow , she’s sure the other V.K’s have taken to Auradon well , but home would never be anything other than WASTELAND she left behind.
❝ I’m allergic , ❞ She doesn’t explain what nor does she know what’s in the cupcake , but Aklla of all people knew not to accept food from strangers. Her face strains to pull lips into a grin , and it never reaches her eyes. ❝ But thank you , I’m sure it tastes great. Has to , if it looks like that. ❞ Just like everything else she’d gotten her hands on so far. The taste in her mouth is BITTER and she swallows it down as her hands lace together in front of her. ❝ Did YOU make it ? ❞ She struggles to make conversation , but word on the street was King Ben was the first person she needed to cozy up with if she wanted things to go smoothly. He who wears the crown bears the weight. Didn’t he know kings were walking target practice ?
❝ Before I forget , I kind of need your help. ❞ She lies through her teeth as she pulls a sheet out of her bag. Her class schedule could be read by any dimwit with half a brain but Ma told her to play dumb so dumb she could be. Just had to channel her inner Auradon prep student body. A slim finger prods at one of the classes , eyes narrowed as she reads it. ❝ REMEDIAL GOODNESS ; where is that ? ❞ And does she really have to take it ?
