“Uh… I’d probably go with tired and lost since I do not know my way around Auradon… I’m still trying to figure my way out around campus.” She admitted running a hand through her hair. “I’m still fiddling with my phone too.” She giggled softly.
“Get a map! I’m actually trying to get this guy I know to make an app for Auradon, like iAuradon or something and the app’s gonna have like a map for both campuses and you can put your schedule, link to the gossip blog, warnings for whoever’s having a raging tantrum somewhere...” she snorted to herself. “But, yeah, wow, sorry -- brain fart --” Kirsa shook her head. “Which part of your phone are you fiddling with?”
shen just watched, having already ordered his roast pork before kirsa, knowing she would need some time. he leaned his head against his hand and let her do her thing. he didn’t want to say he looked fond as he watched her, but that’s exactly what he was. fond and so, so nervous. and hungry. always hungry.
shen just grinned at the waiter, shrugging and muttering a small ‘sorry man, but thank you’ in cantonese. “ nah, the whole on the side thing is cute. it’s all g, pretty girl. ” he let the nickname slip, before freezing for a bit. he wasn’t sure if she was still okay with him calling her that. “ but, uh, i feel you. i’m hungry too. i’m always hungry to be honest, but you know. ”
kirsa stifled a laugh, covering her mouth with her hand as she shook her head. “ if you think that’s cute... ” you should see me in the morning, she’d been about to say, but stopped herself before she could. they both froze at the same time, but she didn’t want to make him feel bad so she smiled at him, as warmly as she could.
“ oh, i know. you’ve...probably hypnotised me or something. with your magic dragon powers, ” she said in a stage-whisper, the mischievous sparkle back in her eyes. “ made me love this place. and extra-hungry when i’m here, too. every time i’m here i just... ” kirsa looked around, smiling becoming easier. “ it’s cozy. i like it. ” she straightened her back a little. “ i’m thinking of setting my next play in a chinese restaurant. ”
Why climb mountains when you are not ready to?

" -- and then i’ll just have the chinese broccoli, please, but with the oyster sauce on the side. and, oh, for dessert -- ” kirsa flipped through the menu to look at the correct page. “i’ll have the fried banana fritters but i don’t want to have the ice-cream on top of it, i’ll have it on the side and if you have chocolate instead of vanilla, that would be great, thank you, but otherwise just vanilla is fine,” she finished, all smiles.
the waiter blinked at her, looked to shen, and then nodded, muttering under his breath as he wrote down the rest of the order and retreated to the back. kirsa pressed her lips together, twiddling her thumbs on the table. “sorry,” she said suddenly, “i love this place and, um, i’m really hungry.”
“kinda, yeah. i don’t know … the grand councilwoman is the main one, and she’s …” eivui made a face. “i don’t know much about auradon’s leaders and all — i mean, of course, i’ve heard about the land of sweets’ leaders, and queen belle and king beast, but other than that?” she shrugged. she offered a small smile to kirsa. “because of my design. i as designed with malicious intent, i guess.” another shrug. “yeah, it’s pretty cool! it’s giant — i’ve only been in it once, but yeah!”
“mmhmm, i know that face, that --” she copied the expression, “face.” kirsa didn’t know much about the leaders, either. though her mother had wanted her to learn about them before she came here. “oh, uhh, there’s also...atlantis? atlantico? with the mermaids? and snow white and cinderella...wherever they live? oh, cinderellasberg! cinderella-berg?” she thought aloud. “i know that one because they have fashion,” she grinned. “wait, you’re designed to be evil?”
❝ My tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature informs me that you are in trouble. ❞ - Kirsa ( @kirsafee )
Terra rose an eyebrow at her and slowly shook her head. “Um, I do not believe I’m in trouble… What exactly gave you that idea, though?”
“I was...regarding you,” she said, narrowing her eyes at the girl, but in no mean way. Kirsa smiled. “You looked a little lost. Frightened, maybe. Or, you’re just tired. Something’s...off about you.” She paused. ”How close am I?”
@narclla said: ❝ why is the rum always gone? ❞
kirsa pouted, picking up the empty bottle. “it’s gotten more popular since we got a lot of pirates roamin’ the place --” she squinted up at the top shelf of the liquor cabinet. “is that one there...?”
eivui burst into a fit of giggles, bouncing up and down in her seat. “yes, yes! except, i don’t bite of their heads —” she laughed, crinkling her nose. “i mean … yeah? i guess … kinda? the grand councilwoman kinda doesn’t … see me in such a positive light, but yeah! — and you would definitely be an ambassador for earth!” she exclaimed, giggling. “you would be the best ambassador in the universe!” she clapped her hands together excitedly. “… wait, what? no. not the ‘be right back’! the b.r.b. — the big red battleship!” she laughed. “oh, no, no! don’t worry about it! i can totally take on the grand councilwoman if she gets fussy.” she held up her fists, but ultimately ended up giggling again.
“are the officials up in space as lame as they are on earth? literally, the only leaders i’ve seen who are actually unproblematic as fuck are my leaders. rio and freddie’s mom and dad were the best.” not every kingdom was without their problems, but kirsa had only rose-coloured glasses for her old king and queen. “well, clara’s still queen, queen mother maybe, and rio’s king now but still. why wouldn’t the grand council-hoo-hah see you in a positive light? you are positive light,” she said, incredulous. kirsa’s mouth opened as she heard what the b.r.b actually was, and she laughed at her own mistake. “ooooohhh, big red battleship! that sound much cooler.”
