The Most Wonderful Party of the Year

[lastfonmasterguardian]

Who: Anyone and everyone!
Where: Cuppa Kupo
When: December 23rd
Summary: It's time for Cuppa Kupo's first annual Christmas Party! The party details are in an OOC post here and an IC post .
Warnings: None! (At the moment, anyway).





[It's the 23rd of December, and, as promised, Kuppa Cupo has opened its doors for the first (and hopefully not last) Christmas/Starlight party!]

[The entire restaurant is decorated for the season, complete with a large tree near the entrance. The ceiling is covered in lights, and the tables all have matching red and green tablecloths. Near the wall, the catering table is packed with food.]

[Even the helper moogles are taking part in the festivities, with many of them wearing elf or santa costumes. Whether you came early to help set up, or arrived fashionably late, enjoy!]

[Natalia giggles.]

It's the good kind of doubt, if you must know.

[She sweeps up another set of trays, glad to see that their workload is slowly diminishing. People can only eat so much, after all, so it should be Yuri's turn to rest and mingle with the others soon.]

To be quite honest, you impress me. You work hard for the sake of others with no thought to your own needs or comfort. You would have made a fine prince in my world!

[dammit_flynn]

Really now?

[ He raised a brow at her as she sweeps the trays. She cared way too much about his well being-- much more than he'd like to admit. Yuri and his self care regime wasn't always as functional as he wanted it to be. ]

I'll take that as a compliment, coming from the ever so earnest and sincere Princess.

[ He chuckled. ]

But I'll pass. I'm not suitable for royalty. The things I do and the stuff I had done, weren't worthy of such a compliment but I'll thank you for it.

[worstintheworld]

The only quality that truly matters is being able to serve your people.

[Don't expect her to smile at his sarcasm, though, she's steadfastly ignoring the little jab.]

You were one of the first to respond to my call for aid in Trano Golsaucia, even though you didn't seem to think much of me personally at the time. That is worthy of praise indeed.

[Even so, she waits until they're back in the kitchens before setting down her empty tray and turning to face him directly.]

If I might be so bold, what kind 'stuff' do you mean?

[dammit_flynn]

Not everyone thinks the way you do, Princess. There are some nasty aristocrats out there who only view their people as stepping stones for their wealth. It's a good thing that you aren't that type.

[ He meant every word of it as he shifted his movements. Even if he was sarcastic about it, there was some sincerity in his tone. All wasn't completely lost. ]

First impressions are everything aren't they princess? Can't say I wasn't a little jaded, considering what I've dealt with.

[ He shrugged. ]

You're better off not knowing.

[worstintheworld]

You aren't wrong.

[She sighs, resting her hands upon the countertop.]

But I hope you won't allow your previous experiences to reflect poorly on all aristocrats. My father, and the emperor of Malkuth, both care very deeply for the welfare of their people. Therefor I strive to emulate their level of service and care.

[As for his last remark, she settles her hands on her hips and tosses her head.]

Please. You can't seriously believe that. If you don't wish to talk about it then say so, but don't speak to me as if I'm too fragile to handle the truth.

[dammit_flynn]

That's exactly my point.

[ He replied setting a couple of trays near her on the counter top that she rested her hands on. If she's going to help out, he's going to make sure she will do just as much work as he is if not more-- but he's sort of a bully sometimes. ]

That I can't promise, but I can guarantee that I'll have a different opinion once I get to know them. Can't say I can easily just assume that most aristocrats are kind people, when I've dealt with the lather.

[ He shrugged. ]

I do. Whether you want to believe what I have to say or not, doesn't really matter to me. You're right, I'd rather not talk about. Frankly, it's not something I'd go around spilling.
