How can one enjoy this holiday? [She sniffs a rose, careful of the thorns.] My fiancee is nowhere to be seen, my butler is absent and I have no connection to the Queen of this place.

[Gathering her skirts delicately, Ciela sits down beside a fountain and dips the rose's petals into the water. Slowly, she draws a pattern. If one looks closely enough, they will see a heart in the ripples.]

I must make do, of course. But the situation is disappointing. [A sigh escapes her parted lips.] Her Majesty must have some reason for bringing us together. All females...hmmm.

[It hasn't occurred to her that females might delight in the holiday together.]

[There's the face of a very excited and very happy-looking troll girl appearing via the Vine today. Feferi doesn't really look like she knows how she activated it. But she's happy and it seems to be telling her she can speak into it.]

Oh my cod, this place is beautiful! I can't get over how lovely the forests are, and the flowers...and the purrbeasts and the slitherbeasts and the hopbeasts! They're so cute, I want to hug them all. Even the slitherbeasts. But especially the hopbeasts! They are just adorable.

...wait, I didn't introduce myshellf! How silly of me, I shrimply forgot my manners. I'm Feferi Peixes! It's nice to meet you. I am so excited!

[She sure has dragged that vine with her as she's dipping her feet into a nearby pond, letting the fish in it nibble at her toes.]

I think I like it here already.

How utterly embarrassing. Why must I traipse around in these rags?! [Ciela mutters, irritated. There is the sound of clothes being smoothed out and hair being brushed.] Surely there is more appropriate clothing somewhere? I don't believe I am asking for too much.

Sebastian, would you - [She pauses and sighs under her breath.] It would be just like you to follow me in the shadows. [Raising her voice, she lightens her tone.] I was wondering if you could help me? It is such a chore to tie back my hair.

[Pausing for a moment, she listens for any sign of her butler hurrying to her aide. Unfortunately, she is doomed to be disappointed.]

Must I come and find you? And here I thought you were mature. [Getting to her feet, her heels clicking against the floor, Ciela ventures away from her mirror and her communication's device. It's clear that she didn't even realize she was being recorded.] Sebastian? Really, this is getting tiresome. If you remain absent, I will punish you.

[And, that, is a promise.

The feed ends with the sound of doors being rapped on sharply.]
