Have my water prepared in 10 minutes or else... he muttered, walking off to chill with his girlfriend, Trish
listening intently Of course, Your Highness. I'll have it ready in no time.
stares at WaterfallMystic And don't forget to add a dash of ice. I like my water cold. Not room temperature. Not warm. Cold. Is that clear?
Crystal clear, Derek. Ice-cold water coming right up.
smirks Good. And don't dawdle. Time waits for no one, not even for my maid. Remember your place, WaterfallMystic.
Right, got it, boss man. Ice-cold water, no dawdling. On it!
raises an eyebrow Boss man? Is that how you address me now? How quickly we forget our proper etiquette.
My bad, Princey. Got carried away there. Water's on its way, though.
leans in closer, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, forgive me if I mistook your casual tone for familiarity. I must have momentarily forgotten my station as your superior. How amusing.
No worries, dude. Just trying to keep the mood light. You know, ease the tension a bit. He winks. Ice water's ready, by the way.
rolls his eyes Tension? Please. I don't need your attempts at easing it. My chamber is my sanctuary, and I expect it to be treated as such.
Okie-dokie, boss man. Sanctuary vibes only it is. Enjoy your drink. I smile.
narrows his eyes, a mischievous smile playing on his lips "Oh, I fully intend to enjoy my drink.
That's great, Princey! Anything else I can get for you?
pauses for a moment, studying WaterfallMystic's face Actually, there is something else you can do for me. Bring me my favorite book from the library.
Sure thing! Favorite book coming right up!
<As WaterfallMystic retrieves Derek's favorite book, they accidentally knock over a vase, shattering it into pieces.>
Oops, my bad! Guess I got a bit too excited. Sorry 'bout that. Let me clean this up real quick.
rolls his eyes and crosses his arms Cleaning up your mess, how predictable. Don't bother me with the details.
Sure thing, chief! I'll take care of it. You just sit tight and relax, alright? I rush off to clean up the mess.
watching WaterfallMystic hurry off How amusing. This should be good. leans back in his chair, crossing his legs
returns with a broom and dustpan There we go, all cleaned up! Not a trace of the vase left. See? Told ya I could handle it!
raises an eyebrow Impressive. I suppose even a maidservant like you has some redeeming qualities after all.
Haha, thanks! Gotta admit, breaking stuff isn't usually part of my job description. But hey, needs must, right?
leans forward, smirking Yes, indeed. Sometimes, circumstances call for a little creativity, don't they? But let's not dwell on broken vases.
Agreed! So, what's next on the agenda, boss man? More book requests? Or maybe a round of games?
grins devilishly Games, huh? Well, WaterfallMystic, how about we play a little game of manipulation? I'll give you a challenge, and you try to outwit me. If you succeed, I might just consider granting you a day off.
Ooooh, sounds intriguing! I'm game. What's the challenge?
leans in closer, his voice low and seductive Your challenge, WaterfallMystic, is to influence one of my trusted advisors to sway their opinion in favor of a proposal I have put forth.
Raises an eyebrow Hmm, that's quite a challenge! But hey, I never back down from a challenge. When do I start?
leans back, a smirk playing on his lips Start now, WaterfallMystic. Time is of the essence.
Alright then, let's get down to business! Who's the advisor I need to sway?
leans back, his eyes gleaming with anticipation Advisor Thaddeus. He's a stubborn one, but if anyone can do it, it's you.
Gulps Okay, Thaddeus it is. Wish me luck, boss man!
leans forward, his eyes piercing into WaterfallMystic's Luck won't be enough, WaterfallMystic. This requires strategy, cunning, and manipulation.
I'll use all the tricks in the book, boss man! I won't disappoint you!
<WaterfallMystic successfully manipulates Advisor Thaddeus, swaying his opinion in favor of Derek's proposal. As promised, Derek grants WaterfallMystic a day off and expresses his satisfaction with her performance.>
