Vivi nodded in understanding with Smoker, she knew that from the start
"I know. But I have a debt to repay this man for helping to save my people and I can't let that go unpaid." Vivi told him when Smoker turned to Pell, Pell simply nodded
"I do as the Princess asks of me, if she were to ask to...
Vivi felt terrible for Ace, his friend having died in such a tragic way and at the hand of someone they'd trusted. Vivi however didn't get the chance to bring it up though as Smoker's voice called out to them and the Princess felt that sinking pit in her stomach. Smoker was one of the only...
Vivi couldn't help but blush when he mentioned that there was a spice to her, brushing her blue hair out of her face
"I try not too but sometimes I can't help it, if I see someone act like that I have to step in." Vivi told him "Scias should remember that just because he's a prince doesn't make...
Scias shot a glare at Ace for interrupting their conversation and before he could take a shot at him Samira put a tight grip on Scias's shoulder
"Now, now your highness lets not say things that we will regret. It would be wrong to spoil your birthday party by insulting two future queens...
"Oooo sounds fun" Briza said with a grin hearing about Ace and his brothers "Don't let the other nobles hear or they'll be wondering if they're as pretty as you."
"Briza," Samira scolded gently giving a gentle tug on her wife's hair to get her to stop as Vivi tried not to laugh at the antics...
Vivi didn’t know why she was blushing as she carefully took a rather long and thoughtful sip of her drink and Briza laughed a bit as Samira shook her head
”Koza was the head the Alabasta revolutionaries and Vivi’s first friend other than Karoo,” Samira explained to Ace as Vivi nodded
“Koza is...
Briza smiled at Ace and nodded
”I saved her from some mean girls during an event when we were eleven and she’s been stuck with me ever since.” Briza said grinning as she put an arm around Vivi’s shoulders happily. Vivi shook her head
”I was mistakenly invited to a Mother’s Day brunch and people...
Vivi smiled
"I don't need you to announce me, there will be someone there to do that just an escort so we can keep things looking how we want. All you have to do is look pretty and walk with me." Vivi said she was mostly teasing him as she took another sip of her drink and glanced around them...
Rylie couldn’t help but snicker a little bit at his question when he stopped her explanation to ask that of all the questions he could have asked and she just shook her head. She knew he probably did have a lot more questions for her but she was grateful that he didn’t seem to ask more of them...
Vivi could sympathize with Ace on the matter, she quite often had people that flirted with her as well though often she didn't realize that was what they were doing and usually when she did it was because it was someone that she knew only wanted her to be a prop and increase their wealth and...
Rylie smiled happily seeing him sort of concede to her annoying little pep talk. She did feel a little bad when he mentioned the distance between them and she smiled sympathetically. She sort of felt the same way when her dad disappeared, she’d never been far from him for very long so when he...
Vivi noticed the woman approach too, she knew her as a Duchess with quite the attitude to match her lavish expenses and at first Vivi forced herself to smile politely at the girl thinking she was approaching to talk to her but instead the girl was right there to speak with Ace.
”So you’re the...
Vivi turned to Ace and took a moment to appreciate that he looked very nice when he was cleaned up, although her mind did briefly wander back to the bath she finally managed to push that aside and smiled
”You clean up nicely,” Vivi said to him happily “The Ball isn’t until tomorrow so we have...
Rylie listened to Donnie’s story, she wasn’t sure what exactly she’d been expecting him to say but it wasn’t that to say the least. Rylie nodded a bit and she had so many questions, she immediately wanted to know what mutagen was and where it came from, why it transformed people and animals...
Vivi set the towel and the clothes aside for him before she glanced up towards the bath and paused for a moment, Vivi hadn’t gotten to see much of Ace’s physique when they had wandered Alabasta’s desert, everyone had been covered with the bulky protective robes to avoid getting damaged by the...
Pell nodded at Ace’s question
”Yes, Igaram and I will make sure that you are well prepared for the ball.” Pell said before eyeing Ace for a moment
“Starting with a bath, Prince Scias was rude but he was correct in that you need one.” Pell said and Vivi tried her best to hold back a laugh at...
Vivi nodded listening to Ace explain about the person he was looking for, she wasn’t surprised it was the short version, he either didn’t want to bore her with the details or didn’t wish to tell them in front of Pell which was also understandable since he didn’t know him. The question about...
Rylie had loaded the van and with some help from Andrea had gotten Don loaded into the van with no issues, Rylie was the one who drove to their mom's house while Andrea stayed back to clean up and make sure that it didn't look too suspicious, she'd join them in a little while. When Rylie had...
Vivi turned to look at Ace and smiled a little although she was briefly horrified about her asking who Scias was in such a rude way and by the way his face turned red he heard him and Vivi let out a nervous laugh before she turned her back on Scias to let Pell and Igaram handle him so she could...
Vivi wasn’t unused to political missions where she had to go and talk with neighboring kingdoms to keep Alabasta’s political relations, being invited to a Prince’s Ball even though she’d refused the invitation 3 other times, was unfortunately part of that duty to keep up appearances especially...
