What in the Regalia
Hazel looks up to see the large mushroom before her.
Hazel Arden
wow! these mushrooms are actually houses?
Edgar Gonzales
Yes, pretty brilliant isnt it?
Hazel Arden
Yes, i've only seen them in fairy tales.
Hazel returns the blazer to Edgar
Edgar Gonzales
No problem Miss Arden
Eve Gonzales
irritated*
Can we get in already?!
Edgar Gonzales
Opaha we're here.
A beautiful woman with hair as pretty as the night sky, soft looking eyes with the gentlest smile to ever exist, stood right before her.
Opaha
Welcome Hazel, i hope these kids have not troubled you on your journey here.
Edgar Gonzales
Tell that to Eve, she's been awful. Almost made Hazel cry.
Eve Gonzales
Shut up nerd.
Hazel Arden
No maam, they've been hospitable. Ed explained my need of arrival.
Opaha
That's good to hear. They are not very cooperative with each other
Eve Gonzales
now that i see, you've been awfully well adjusted. Shouldn't all of this freak you out
Hazel Arden
In the beginning, they did. But now that i know you and everyone here, this feels like a blessing. Like an escape from reality.
Opaha
Dont mind her, Its good that you have adjusted well.
Hazel Arden
Ed has been friendly, he told me alot about this place and people. It feels like a dream.
Eve shoots a look at Hazel involuntarily. Ed looks at his sis and tilts his head.
Edgar Gonzales
Was that a slight look of envy i saw in you?
Eve Gonzales
What? No. Me? Jealous of you? why would i ever be jealous of you. You're not even that handso-
Edgar Gonzales
*Playfully
No i meant you being jealous of Hazel, since i was never friendly to you. Why are you getting so defensive?
Eve Gonzales
I am not getting defensive
Ed gives out a smirk trying to control the laugh on his face looking at his sister who can't find words to bail her out of an awkward situation.
Hazel Arden
Opaha you have red eyes, Does everyone here have magical colored eyes too?
Opaha
No, we are born with natural colours but our eyes turn red when we are identified as a protector of Regalia
Hazel Arden
They are beautiful
Eve Gonzales
You have some serious eye fetish
Eve Gonzales
You complimented my eyes a while ago and now you are doing the same with Opaha
Hazel Arden
I did? i don't recall so
Eve Gonzales
You dont- you dont remember?
Edgar Gonzales
Yea even i don't remember Hazel saying anything to you.
Eve Gonzales
you weren't there.
*turns to Hazel
We were in the air and then you said- *blushes
Uh nevermind
Edgar Gonzales
Something's weird with you Sis, You've been acting out of character this whole time
Opaha
You kids must be starving after a heavy day. Go freshen up and come down for dinner.
Opaha
Eve, show Hazel her place to stay.
Eve Gonzales
*turns to Hazel
Come along
Eve takes Hazel to her room
Eve Gonzales
Now this is where you'll be staying. There are some clothes in the closet. i stay in the next room so do not be a disturbance.
Eve Gonzales
Go in. Are you waiting for me to arrange a procession?
Hazel Arden
Um yea, i mean no. i am not waiting for the procession but yea as is yes thank-
Hazel gives an apologetic smile and head in. Eve turns to leave but stops.
Eve Gonzales
Do you really not remember?
Eve Gonzales
Nothing forget.
Hazel Arden
*raise her eyebrow
you grabbing my butt? clear as crystal.
Hazel steps forward towards Eve giving her a sly smile.
Hazel Arden
I need to freshen up, Bye!
Hazel closes the door leaving Eve all flustered and red with embarassment.
Edgar Gonzales
You grabbed her WHAT?!!
Eve turns to see Ed standing next to her with his jaw wide open.
Eve Gonzales
Its a misunderstanding. Its not like that. Its not what you think-
Edgar Gonzales
No wonder you've been mean to her the whole day.
*Dramatically breathes in with his mouth open wide and his hands covering them.
You've been trying to silence her. I can't believe this. What will Opaha think. You've been misbehaving with our guest. This news is of grave importance. I must tell it to her immediately.
Eve Gonzales
No!!! Ed!!! Do not.
Eve Gonzales
I'll help you with potion making this whole week. Please shut up
Edgar Gonzales
A week doesn't seem sufficient weighing the information sis
Eve Gonzales
Fine! A month. Do we have a deal?
Edgar Gonzales
Fine, Dont misbehave again.
Edgar walks to his room feeling like he won a battle
After freshening up Hazel walks down to the table, to find Ed and Eve already there.
All 4 of them sit down to have dinner.
Opaha
How do you like your room Hazel? is it comfy?
Hazel Arden
Yes Opaha, the room is beautiful
Eve Gonzales
Do you not know any words apart from Beautiful?
Edgar Gonzales
Well if you hadn't misbehaved, she would have-
Eve Gonzales
He is just being his usual idiotic self. Its nothing Opaha, Really
Hazel lets out a tiny laugh
Edgar Gonzales
Fortunately. Not letting this one go. Ever.
Opaha
I don't understand what any of you are saying. But its glad to see you all are getting along
Edgar Gonzales
Oh we are. Right sis.
Eve kicks Edgar under the table
Edgar Gonzales
Ow! that hurt!
Eve Gonzales
shut up or it will hurt more
They all laugh looking at Edgar mock Eve.
After dinner, Hazel heads to her room to get some sleep.
Hazel recalls something and steps out of the room to fetch Edgar
Eve Gonzales
Where are you head to
Hazel Arden
Um i was just looking for Ed
Hazel Arden
Well uh i needed some water
Eve Gonzales
why are you looking for him? You can just ask me.
Eve Gonzales
Oh right, he is the friendly one. He is downstairs. Knock yourself out
Hazel Arden
You know you dont have to take everything so personally right. Chill a little.
Eve Gonzales
Oh i am sorry am i intimidating now. Is my face too terrifying to look at?
Hazel Arden
Thats not what i meant Eve. You know that.
Eve Gonzales
Whatever princess. you're price is downstairs
Hazel Arden
Whats up with this girl. why is she trying to pick a fight all the time
Hazel walks downstairs. She sees someone outside through the window.
Opaha
*Softly
No she doesn't know about it. Its better if she doesn't.
Edgar Gonzales
What are you doing here?
Edgar's voice startles Hazel. She turns back to look at him. Checks out of the window and there was no one
Hazel Arden
Um i heard something-
Edgar checks out of the window too.
Edgar Gonzales
What are you looking?
Hazel Arden
Doesn't matter. I just wanted to clear something
Hazel Arden
Eve didnt misbehave. It was an accident
Edgar bursts out in a laugh
Edgar Gonzales
I know, i was just teasing her.
Hazel Arden
Oh, aren't you gonna sleep?
Edgar Gonzales
Yea i have some work. But i will shortly
Hazel Arden
I'll head to my room then
Edgar Gonzales
Sure. Good night
Edgar Gonzales
Eve seems a little different around you. Different from her natural self. She may seem all tough and hard on the outside but she is more sensitive that she looks
Hazel nods in acknowledgement and leaves
Eve is in her room. With her head stuffed in her pillow.
Eve Gonzales
What is happening? Why does it feel different to hear her say my name? I mean it's the same name, same pronunciation but it feels different coming out of her mouth
There is a knock on the door.
Eve gets up to unlock her door. Only to her surprise
Hazel Arden
Hi, were you sleeping?
Eve Gonzales
Uh no. Why? did you need something? Did you not find Ed?
Hazel Arden
No it's just that its difficult to fall asleep since i am new to this place. I was searching if i could find me some company
Eve Gonzales
Company? you mean to sleep?
Hazel Arden
No. i mean to stay awake and talk maybe
Eve Gonzales
Oh yea that makes more sense. Come in
