Anders turned as she entered, breathing increasingly heavy as she sat there watching her. "you're back early miss" She said, turning back to work, tucking her hair behind her ears. "find a suitor this time miss?" She asked, attempting to lower her voice slightly to make it out different.

//sorry low muse!

Anders continued to work, though there wasn't anything to do. The room was already tidy, cleaned earlier in the day by some more experienced staff member, which was why she was stuck on cleaning at night. There would be little to do. She then turned to the Princess.

She had never had an honest conversation with her, apart from moments before at the party, but she didn't know that. She took a deep breath, "getting close? as in you liked them? what happened?" She questioned, wanting to know more but of course already knew.

Anders grew closer, though careful enough not to be too close to the girl, in order to not give anything away. "i'm..." She hesitated, thinking on what to say. "i'm sure she really likes you, maybe she just had to be somewhere" She spoke, "what if she thought of herself unworthy of you? you are after all the princess" She added, cringing a little at what she had said.

Anders smiled, "yes, i work for your parents, hence why it means even more when i do flatter you She smirked, seemingly forgetting where they would stood and what she was wearing and who she really was. She shook it off, lowering her head and taking a breath. though i grew up here, with you pretty much" She finished, somehow trying to change the subject and keep the heat off what she had said initially.

Anders shrugged, she knew it was informal but she deemed it fitting since the conversation they were having weren't exactly a normal one, especially considering Anders status. "i grew up with no different" She started. "my mum was born here and worked here, had me, now i'll most likely do the same, though i doubt i'll have kids" She added seeming content with her already well structured life but really hating it.

Anders nodded slightly, they each had their own problems to worry about. "what about that person at the ball" She questioned, as if she still had hope that she would ever tell the princess it was her. "would you consider them?" She again questioned. At this point she was tired, and usually should would be in bed by now, fast asleep, curled up on her pity full mattress. She yawned slightly.

Terry shook her head as she watched the girl put the drink down. "no, not a chance" She said reaching past her and picking it up. "it's a uni party, you're drinking" She stated, eyes rolling. Without hesitation another girl walked up, arms at full length as they wrapped around Terry's tall figure, squeezing tight. She was drunk. Very drunk. "terrryyyy" She shrieked, before walking off. As soon as she had approached them, she was gone again.

Terry shrugged it off, most likely she would have loads of people come up to her and do the same ritual. She turned back to Celeste, an exaggerated look plastered on her face before chucking. "look, my goal for the night, hook you up with someone" She stated, eyebrows raising.

Anders felt embarrassed to say the least. She nodded, blushing slightly. "yes that would be good" She started, beginning to walk to the door. She opened it, stopping and turning back to look at Jeanette. " the other servants have gone home, so if you need anything throughout the night just head to my quarters and wake me up" She finished.

Her quarters were nearby the kitchens and as were the other two unoccupied quarters. The other servants had their own places and families, travelling up to the castle in the morning and staying till late and then making the trip back slowly. Yet she preferred to stay on site, mainly because she didn't have any money to afford a house, but it did make things easier living there. She left, closing the door slowly behind her and gliding her way down the hallways, finally reaching her room. She grabbed the clothes from under her mattress, something that would be impossible to sleep over and chucked them into the corner, she could hide them better in the morning. She didn't get changed, her night clothes were the same as her day clothes.

Terry took another swig at her drink, letting it run down her throat for a moment, debating what she said. "i know you're not going to get into bed with anyone for the rest of the year, it's like you're only chance" She exaggerated, poking her finger into the girls shoulders. "come onnn". She finished, reaching for another drink after already finishing her first one.

"right cool, lets go" She said, grabbing the beer despite her arm being swatted away. She then grabbed Celeste's hand, dragging her through the crowd and to the second story. She leaned in towards Celeste. "second story people are all looking for hook ups, it's the place to be" She stated, winking at a girl that walked past. She took a swig at the new beer in her hand. "pick anyone, come on"

~i'll time skip to morning aha~

Anders had woken up early, getting ready as the other servants had began to arrive. She didn't have much in the way of work in the mornings, the jobs taken up by more experienced workers, so free time was plenty. She got dressed quickly, scooping the pile of clothes she had worn that night at the ball, she left her room, trailing along the corridors, seeking out the wash room located near the back of the castle, thrown off into a corner. Praying that as she was walking she wouldn't come across anyone.

Terry sighed as the girl took the drink from her hand, she could just grab another shortly anyway, there was constantly people walking through handing out beers as if they hadn't needed to pay for it. She rubbed the pack of her head, closing her eyes for a moment, thinking about who she could to hook up with Celeste. "Alex" She called, seeing the girl from across the room. A slim girl walked over, head tied tight against her head, and a smirk plastered on her face. As she reached them, her eyebrows raised at her, her pupils shifting to glance at Celeste, before taking off, leaving the two to talk.

She stood by in the corner, grabbing another beer after realising she had left her one with the other girl, and took a big gulp.

Anders reached the wash room, an open room connected to a small stream that ran behind the kingdom, mainly used only for showering, washing clothes and dishes and anything else that needed to be done. The water was far too dirty to drink from, but the water still provided enough to wash clothes. She sat down, grabbing a board and a small vile of soap she would use to scrub the garnets. She began, quietly humming to herself as she sat there, cross-legged, her legs admittedly becoming sore.

Terry mostly kept herself occupied by talking to other people, friends she had met in previous years but hadn't talked to in a while, some were her old hookups, the both of them knowing each other enough to not mention anything about the night they had shared once upon a time. She had multiple drinks in this time frame. Already drunk and mostly unaware of her surroundings, she needed to cool off.

She stumbled past Celeste, pleased with herself that she had paired them up, she then ducked into one of the rooms that had been blocked off, Dylan's room. He wouldn't mind. In the room, the music was dull, the light was low and there was no one but here. She took a deep breath, heading to the bathroom that sat connection and sat by the basin. She washed her face, spraying it with cool water until she felt somewhat human again.

Anders turned quickly, shifting her body to cover the clothes she had worn the previous night, by her side. She gulped, looking up at the princess as she had approached. "good morning" She responded, giving the girl a light nod and a smile. "up, early i see" She said, trying to take the attention from her poor efforts of concealing the clothes.
