Yuki ignores Mozart. She instead turns to the other maids. "Do you think that if we hurry, we can work together to put together a single effective dish?"

"Unless she loses her composure, it should take some time for her to return and the next made be called to meet the Prince. I think we have enough time to lay the groundwork of a decent dish before then, at the very least. Perhaps a large sandwich, with a variety of ingredients we can all prepare and compile?" Yuki suggests.

Leon noticed her nerves flaring back up. Thinking back to Yuki, he decided he could at least ask the truth.
"It's alright, it's alright."
Terran arched an eyebrow from his place by the door.
"I said it's alright, Terran...Anyway...May I ask what has you so nervous? If it's that I'm a prince or your employer, don't worry about things like that; I'm not a fan of formalities, particularly not when it makes someone nervous. Be as frank as you like."
He was hoping this was the case. Really, really, he was.
"I'm not...nervous....I don't know if that's totally it," She briefly pouted and glanced at the prince. "I'm just......I don't know......there's a word for it...somewhere...." She furrowed her brows and shook her head, her pink pig tails slightly swishing to the side.
"Hmm...perhaps. It could work...of course what we have isn't...bad, per-se, but something nice for the prince would be a lovely addition. Something...unique...."
He said with a much more sincere laugh; he didn't think it impossible, but it was probably not the cause...Today.
After a moment he paused and looked at her, giving it some thought.
"...Whatever's got you on edge, I don't blame you. This is hardly a normal situation."
"Lovestruck?...bwuh?...I...err...ah....fwooom. ..." Her cheeks went red and she shook her head, swishing her pig tails. "I...." She closed her eyes and tried to think of something. "I'm just....not used to being in ah....formal situations...I find myself not really knowing what to do."
"Didn't I just say that I don't care about formalities? I'm high-spoken, but that's because I like it; But I don't feel there's any point in expecting that from anyone else. I like hearing what people really have to say."
He patted the seat beside him and moved his wing to give her room. Giving her a topic could help. His voice was lighter than before. After all, she had blushed, and that was fun.
"Come, sit down, tell me about yourself. Whatever you feel like telling, I am nothing if not a captive audience."
She was hesitant at first but sharply took breath and walked over and sat on the seat. She couldn't relax like he wanted, she found herself sitting stiffly, hands on her lap. Here he was but so far at the same time....she couldn't tell him who she was. No.
"I don't know....where to start....uhm...." She closed her eyes and thought. "Well....uh...I think chains are cool accessories as you can see from my uniform."
" Good idea Miss Yuki, I think I finally have the idea of what this 'sandwich' is so I will help as well until I must see the prince. " Lune scurried off to start collecting ingredients.
" We will impress His Highness yet!" She shouted over her shoulder.
"Brimstone? Hauh?...I uh....I dunno...I err....don't smell anything," She went white and gulped as she fretted with her apron and stared at her hands. Curses that she'd forget about her brimstone stank when she complied to sit near him.
Yuki nods in determination. "I will begin slicing the tomato, cheese, and lettuce. You girls can handle gathering and slicing the meats and bread. If you can think of any other toppings or condiments, feel free to suggest them."
She then scurries off to find the ingredients she needs, and properly slice them for the sandwich.

He...did he really remember her after all this time? No...just...coincidence....maybe something like that...yea.....that. She continued to sit as the other two had their moment, their exchange with each other.
Yuki tenses, and narrows her eye. "Girls... I fear I must leave the rest of the meal up to you. I have a cat to locate."
She then turns, and begins to stalk off after the missing butler. As she turns to explore the kitchen, she idly reaches out with her left hand and yanks her combat knife out of the wall where it impaled itself earlier. She twirls the blade between her fingers for a moment, before letting it slip down her sleeve.
A predatory smirk forms on her face. "Here kitty kitty..." she purrs softly, before beginning her search for Mozart.

"That's because there's no way a girl could hath gotten to the palace without being spotted."
Leon pouted visibly at this, before adding,
"Still, where is that smell coming from? I didn't notice it a moment ago. Did a breeze shift? I left a window open..."
He tapped his chin.
A small part of her smiled inside, he really did remember her, maybe even...fondly? But still, she abhorred her smell, it was not something she was proud of, you could even call it a complex, har har hurr.
"Maybe? Maybe it came from the stables outside?" She offered to try to shift any suspicion it could be her.
Ante quickly swipes her headdress back after Yuki removes her combat knife, and slips it on underneath her pot/hat.
With the headdress set, she removes the pot from her head, and does a turn to face Lune, with a confident smile on her face.
"Alright then, let's go make sandwiches! Lune, go find the perfect meat in the fridge, and I shall put it all together. With our powers combined, it will blow the prince away!"
"Oh, yea, when I was trying to find a wagon or cart for Skelly..err the skeleton in the wardrobe, so that I could...I guess pull him around so he wasn't stuck in one place," She latched on to this topic, it didn't come with the awkwardness of their recent "conversation". "You have really lovely horses."
She stares at the butler, unmoving, her single eye staring into his pair of eyes. Finally, she flatly states: "Rather than threaten you, let me make you a simple proposition. You leave us alone and let us do our jobs, and I will endeavor to provide you with some catnip. Everyone wins."

Not sure if it's really needed, but just in case...

"Oh, you can call him Skelly, if you like. We don't really know who he is. Some evenings we'll go through some records and see if anything sounds right to him... To be honest, I'm not sure if *he* knows what he's called, so sometimes I'll just start making up names. Anyway, he's got no objection. Also, A wagon? I never thought of that!"
He was into this topic as well. Who on earth their skeleton friend was was a popular discussion for the residents here, including the skeleton (current name from Leon: Winston) himself.
"I'm expecting some gear to be shipped in soon. I'll request some catnip be packaged along with it," Yuki explains. "After all, if they can ship me a blunderbuss, I'm sure they can send a cat treat or two."

"Well, then I'll just have to teach you sometime...For that first ride, while you're still getting used to being on a horse..."
The prince smiled warmly, and looked her straight in the eyes.
"You can just cling to me, alright?"
She stared straight back, but only his head on look to her eyes made her freeze. At least the subject of the brimstone smell had thankfully for her was dropped. "I...okay." She nodded her head or rather bobbed it for a few seconds. Her thoughts then switched to something else, less cheek reddening and something she was curious about being a curious little devil when not feeling awkward.
"I was wondering, but what is the name of this horse? I was curious.." She asked and went on to describe that lovely horse she saw who came up to her and let her pet it.
