The young girl looked back rather quickly eying the door of the castle a moment before turning her head again towards the festival grounds that had been opened up in front of her. Her foot tapped a little impatiently, and once again she looked to the door. However, just as it seemed that she was growing extremely tired of waiting, Rosa watched as the door opened and Feliciano Rossi appeared. In half a second, the small girl broke into a full grin and literally jumped/clung to/glomped her older brother. "Felis! Let's go go go!" Rosa grinned without waiting for a response before releasing her grip on Felis's form and seizing his hand before starting to pull him off to the actual rides and things. Feliciano Rossi, who had all but been oblivious to the fact that Rosa had been so ready to go out and enjoy the events until the few seconds before said sister had started to pull him, quickly found himself on the move. "Rosa slow down," Felis found himself grinning the words a little even as he said them. However, that did not detour the young girl's energy in the least, and instead, Rosa all but seemed to walk faster. Rosa's eyes darted around rather quickly as she looked to try and find what she actually wanted to do first. In truth, she had no idea for all the general rides and such and such sounded great. Because of this, she had resolved to simply move towards whatever caught her eye first. After a moment, something large and plush pink finally caused her to stop dead in her tracks. "Felis! Let's get some cotton candy!" Rosa grinned. In another moment, she was dragging off Felis once more although the duke himself put up no protest to this what so ever. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

"FWEE!" Kitty was absolutely beside herself. Almost seven whole years she'd gone without ever being to a carnival, and now this was her second one in such a short time. Maybe staying with brother all the time would be nice after all. Currently, she was dragging him along, looking over the attractions so fast she hardly had time to take them in. Finally, a large Cherrim doll caught her eye, and Kitty stopped in her tracks. After nearly twenty seconds of staring, just before Ryan could ask what was wrong, she spun around at lightning speed. "Ryan win me THAT!!" she cried, pointing frantically.

Ryan let out a half laugh as his eyes traced her point up to several dolls hanging on the side of a game. He was pretty certain he could tell which she meant, though. It was oddly fluffy for something emulating a grass-type, in his opinion, but it was a giant round pink flower, so of course she would like it. "All right," he answered softly. "Let's see what we can do." And with that, they stepped up to the game in question.. which just happened to be next to a particular cotton candy stand.

However, before said person could turn, Felis picked up Rosa lightly and moved her back a foot. "Don't crowd personal space, silly," Felis grinned... though then again, he was slightly notorious for doing that himself... just well... in different contexts yes... After a moment, the stand was free, and Rosa stepped up quickly before looking from Felis to the cotton candy to the seller back to Felis to the-... Rosa caught herself after a moment and then looked grinned. "Two please!" escaped her mouth. Felis nodded as well to this order, and though he thought one of those was for him, Felis would learn later he was very much wrong. Upon getting the two, Rosa took one in each hand and then started to-..... Felis had turned as well and then found himself confused as to why Rosa had stopped so quickly. "Hm? What's wrong?" Felis asked keeping a light smile on his face. "It's a flower...." Rosa answered back pointing then at the Cherrim doll that could be seen in the stand next to them. Felis, among other things, was also grinning at the doll. Well now~! A Cherrim~ The perfect symbol of spring! In another moment, Felis realized that Rosa had already taken her steps forwards and had stopped when she had all but run over bumped into another little girl who at least appeared to be at the game.

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Kitty had been looking at nothing but the oh so fluffy flower, and upon being bumped into she promptly fell to the ground, letting out a loud cry as she hit. Ryan had just finished making sure he understood the game when the sound pierced his ears, and he frantically spun around to find his sister on the ground in tears. "Kitty what happened!" he exclaimed, all but falling to his knees to check on her.

The child let out several more pathetic sobs, then finally glared up at the smaller of the two blondes, accusing, "She pushed me!" Or in Kitty's mind she had anyway. "Mmph!" she cried as she flung herself around to cling to Ryan. The redhead, in turn, just sweatdropped a bit as he placed a large hand on Kitty's back as hesitant as comforting. Not happy but reluctant to be angry with a mere child, he looked to the other girl as if questioning if there was any truth to Kitty's claim.

Her face was beat red with the sudden embarrassment as well as... irritation was it? No... something else that Rosa couldn't find the word for. In another moment, she'd puffed up her cheeks a little before crossing her arms in front of herself and releasing the air. "I uh.. I..." Well. That hadn't worked the way she had wanted it to. In another moment, this calm inevitably crumbled in the girl. "I didn't push her!" were the words that streamed afterwords. Felis, who had taken a solid minute to fully process what had happened and who was now realizing that he should at least say something, rubbed the back of his head and stepped forwards. He looked from Ryan to Kitty and then finally to Rosa before he stated anything else. "Now Rosa.... she did fall though, at least say your sorry, even if you didn't mean to," the blond haired man stated after a moment smiling a little. Rosa, who had all but forgotten that Feliciano was even with her until he had said something again, looked up at Felis and frowned considerably in something of a now rather defiant pout of sorts and then looked forwarded again at Kitty. "Hmph, I didn't do anything," was all she answered back with as she crossed her arms again and looked away. Felis sweat dropped greatly and then looked at Ryan and then at Kitty more apologetically rather than anything else. Looking back at Rosa, Felis frowned a little. "Rosa," Felis tried again. However, his young sister was now shaking her head repeatedly. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Kitty didn't budge, and Ryan gave a long sigh. "Kitty... I'm sure she didn't mean to do anything... Are you sure you didn't just bump into each other?" The little girl- Rosa, the man had called her?- was a bit bigger than Kitty, after all...

The child remained resolute though. "No," she spat out. "I didn't even see her. She just pushed me!" She was a stupid stupidhead and Kitty wasn't going to like her even if she did say sorry! It.. She hurt her and... Kitty whimpered as she clung tighter to Ryan, making him sigh again.

"Please forgive my dear little sister," he smiled gently. "It was an accident..." Rosa would have fidgeted if not for the fact that she was, for a moment, stunned by Felis's actions. She knew ... he tended to be nice to people... but even people that blamed her for stuff she didn't do? Hmph >3< .... Though... part of that might have also stemmed from a slight jealousy at Felis giving out a flower to someone at the end of it all. Eventhough she was free to choose her own flowers from the garden as well as the greenhouse at any time she wanted, Rosa rarely received a flower directly from her older brother. >3< That wasn't fair at all... *sigh* . .... Despite teh fact that she was trying to keep herself focused on the fact that this girl was blaming her for something, Rosa was slowly fading out of irritation rather quickly. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Between Kitty's face and the rose, it was hard to say which was redder. Of course, whether this was more from flattery or shame only Kitty would ever know. Her first reaction at the man leaning in so close to her was to run and hide behind Ryan, but after a few steps rushed backward she stopped, only leaning against her brother instead. This... this man was offering her a pretty present. And.. he was a big brother too then? So... he was like Ryan, right? ... Heh~ If his hair was a different color he'd even look kind of like Ryan..

Meanwhile, her own big brother was having similar thoughts, minus the minor resemblance part. Well wasn't that interesting? What were the odds, he wondered.. After a moment to snap himself out of his analytical state, Ryan prodded, "Kitty, wha'd'you say?"

Blinking a few times, Kitty finally nodded and stepped forward again, hesitantly accepting the rose. "...Thank you, mister..." she mumbled, then covering much of her blushing face even with rose in hand as she stepped back to Ryan.

The man, in turn, nodded and ruffled her hair before standing, turning his attention to the older of the two blondes. "So.. yer a lot older than your lit'l sister too, huh?" ...Eh. Ryan had his moments of eloquence or interesting conversation starters. This was not one of those moments. Ah well..

Hm? After a moment, his eyes moved from Ryan to Kitty and then finally back to Ryan. After a moment, he smiled lightly and nodded. "Yes I am," he answered back before suddenly pulling out a white rose from somewhere and holding it out to Ryan. "My name is Feliciano Rossi~ Most just call me Felis for short, though." Rosa's irritation was dead, and the young girl finally sighed to herself and found herself now staring at Felis offering a rose to yet another people D< aiaocnasoicn.... =3=; Oh well....... After a moment, she sucked in some air and forced a smile. "And I'm Rosalba! But Felis and Miggy and everyone else call me Rosa," she finally answered back after a few seconds as her eyes moved from Kitty to Ryan and then back to Kitty. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Ryan blinked several times as he stared at the rose. Was... he offering one to him as well? ...Eh.. The man's face flushed a fair bit despite his efforts to fight it down. "Er-.. Ryan," he introduced himself, standing there rather awkwardly unsure if he was meant to take the rose or just what to do. "..Sieger," he added. He'd just almost forgotten. He... is actually really cute, isn't he..

Kitty stood quite silent, looking between her rose and all the people. After a few moments, Ryan nudged her lightly, and she murmured, "Kitty..." It wasn't as though they hadn't heard him say it already... Ah well.

Suddenly, a thought hit Ryan like a ton of bricks. "...Rossi." Green eyes grew wider as the rest of his expression became more blank. Surely he-... "Not... the Grand Duke here?" he almost sputtered. Ryan didn't know anything about the man but a name, and the fact it was indeed a man, but...

Name.... Face.. name.... face... Eh.. Felis remembered names easier than faces for one reason or another, but he'd try and recognize the man anyways. Upon hearing Kitty's name, the blond haired man nodded and smiled lightly. Rosa stared at Ryan as she herself tried to sync name to face before hearing Kitty's name and blinking a moment. Well.. that reminded her of kittens! That was going to be easier to remember for sure! Felis blinked slowly at Ryan as he had questioned the title, and for a few seconds, the blond was at a loss for words. However, after a moment more, he found himself laughing a little rather easily. "Why wouldn't I be here?" he asked chuckling to himself gently. "This is my home... or rather our home, after all," he said motioning to Rosa who seemed to blink confused as to why she was being directed towards. Rosa recovered rather well from the initial confusion and giggled a bit to herself. "Yep! We live right over there!" she grinned pointing towards the castle. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Ryan's face grew redder as he twitched hard, suppressing an awkward urge to flail. Shrinking back and bowing his head, he fumbled, "AH-er-.. Forgive our.. rudeness, m'Lor- yer Grace? We uh.. Er.. um... Sorry for.. yeah... Sorry.." He coughed a bit, backing up a little further. Ryan.. was a bit of a rebel, truth be told, but... Well it was a fricking Duke, right there, and, well...

Kitty, meanwhile, seemed to have the inverse reaction, eyes growing wide and staring until Ryan was done before finally breaking out into a massive awe-filled smile a few seconds after. This was directed not at Felis, however, but at Rosa. "You live in a CASTLE!?" she exclaimed, actually jumping a bit from excitement. "So.. You're like a PRINCESS aren't you!" All right.. So she said she'd never forgive her for pushing her down. But... She could make an exception for a princess! 8U

Ryan cringed hard, reaching out and pulling his sister back. "Kitty!" he hissed. "Don' be so-" He wasn't even sure what word he was looking for, but.. She shouldn't be it! Kitty, in turn, just stood there looking scolded and confused.

"Please," he answered back lightly. "Call me Felis. Anything more is... heh..." he finally broke down and laughed a little at it all. Rosa's eyes seemed to grow in reaction to Kitty's, and she burst into a grin of sorts. "Yep! Well kinda..." she giggled back grinning until Ryan pulled Kitty back and scolded her. At this, both blonds blinked in unison. Rosa turned her head to one side and found herself confused. After a moment, she looked sideways at Felis and seemed to stare for a few seconds. At said staring, Felis found himself staring back for a few seconds before the blond looked forwards again. "Ah, she's just excited is all," Felis stated stepping forwards lightly. "Anyone would be with the spring festival going on," he grinned a bit more at Ryan. Satisfied with this, Rosa quickly stepped towards Kitty grinning. "I have a lot of dress up clothes and sparkles and everything! We could play dress up some time and be princesses over everything!" she grinned lightly at her own words. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Kitty's jaw dropped. "I.. could dress like a princess TOO?" For some time, she just stood dumbfounded before turning to Ryan, quite possibly the most excited he'd seen her since... "Can I can I CAN I?!"

How could he say no to that face? If she was begging to make a new friend, then... Ryan swallowed, still thoroughly embarrassed both at the previous issue and Felis's utter dismassal and apparent amusement from it. "Well.. I.. guess if th- her- if Felis doesn' mind...?" Name.. just.. a name.. Right.. Ryan could do that.

This would be fun! Really fun right? Right? Of course! Rosa didn't have to even beg, in all honesty. Felis had already thought on it, and the prospects of Rosa having a friend at least partially around her age was nothing but good in his mind. The blond haired man grinned lightly in another second. "I see no problem with it," he answered back rather easily as he looked from both Rosa and Kitty and then back to Rosa again. Rosa literally jumped up and down and clapped her hands together before looking towards Kitty. "Want to go to my room and dress up and then come out again and have fun at the festival like princesses are supposed to?" she asked with a huge grin on her face. She was already going rather quickly through her mind of what Kitty could wear. She had a freak ton of dresses, after all, having gotten even more for her birthday. Felis didn't quite follow how 'princesses were supposed' to do anything, but he kept it to himself at the moment and decided to simply be encouraging. His eyes rose again, and he smiled a bit at Ryan. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Kitty nodded vigorously. "Uh-huh, yeah!" She giggled, spinning around once in excitement before heading off toward the castle with Rosa. A really real castle! The Cherrim doll, of course, seemed completely forgotten.

Just as well, Ryan thought. Most of these games were pretty hard to win, if this festival was anything like every other fair. The man found himself averting his gaze when the blond looked at him. "So eh... 'll they be fine er should we follow 'e-" He suddenly cleared his throat, concentrating on his words a bit more. "-Them, or..?" He certainly wasn't about to make any assumptions with a duke.

A few people that were hired for the pageant and the festival in general could be seen walking around here and there, yet Rosa dismissed them all instead heading straight up to the tower that was hers. Upon coming to the steps that wound their way up to her room, Rosa looked back at Kitty for a moment before quickly heading up the stairs. Finally getting up the stairs, Rosa threw her door open revealing an almost obnoxiously pink room. On the far wall, what appeared as a large doll house could be seen taking up most of said wall while a pink bed took up another bulk of space. Rosa ignored both these two things and instead headed towards her closet and pulled it open. On one side, what appeared as more normal clothes could be seen, yet on the other, large pooff gowns of sorts could be seen. "See?" Rosa grinned back. "I have a lot of dresses! See? Come pick one out!" Or..... Kitty could let her pick one out... though Rosa wasn't going to be... that pushy just yet.... Felis laughed a little before looking back where the girls had been headed. "We should probably help them out... Rosa usually has Miguel or I help dress her," he finally answered back before starting to walk slowly towards the castle. "So have you enjoyed the festival so far?" the blond haired man asked rather easily. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Kitty struggled to keep up as the older girl ran up the stairs, actually becoming rather terrified at a few points that she was going to be left behind and get lost in this massive new place. Soon enough, though, Rosa was flinging open the door and- 8UUU ........ Oh... my.... gosh.... How was this even.... The younger girl just gawked until the elder had announced her closet and for a while after. Finally, she burst out, "THIS IS THE COOLEST ROOM EVARRR<3" Suddenly she was all over, squealing at one awesome pink thing before rushing to the next, careful not to touch too much but just taking it all in. "All I had in my old room was a pink bed and toybox and some toys but this is-" She squealed loudly again.


"Um.. Yeah I guess.. We just got here actually," Ryan answered. How old was Rosa? Even Kitty could dress herself.. Not that she hadn't pleaded for help at first, but he quickly made it clear she'd have to learn to do it. Rather than this, however, Ryan decided to ask, "So who is Miguel?" It seemed a bit odd to think of anyone trusting some guy to handle his sister like that. Maybe another brother?

"Thanks!" she grinned. "I wanted a princess room, so Felis made it for me!" Well... Felis had hired painters and bought things rather than actually making the room, yet that was rather far from Rosa's thoughts at the moment at least. "Oh you see my dolls?" the blond haired girl asked suddenly distracted from the dresses as she headed over towards the large doll house. Starting to open up the 'compartments' that showed the inner rooms of the house, Rosa grinned as the sight of the dolls in the actual house came into sight as well. "Oh and these are my ponies!" she chimed moving over a bit and pulling a few horses off a shelf next to the doll house and holding them out towards Kitty. As the question about Miguel came up, Felis laughed a little. "He's the castle's knight as well as Rosa's baby-sitter and my assistant as well as other things," he answered back with a smile. However, through the months Miguel had also proved to be a rather good friend and a steady support of sorts. Aside from those that had been paid to work for the spring festival, Felis rarely ever had anyone else in the castle aside from Miguel and Rosa. He did a lot of the cleaning of said castle himself, seeing as it somehow or another allowed him to clear his mind. Most rooms went unused anyways, so they remained virtually untouched. Felis also did most of the cooking though Miguel had been taking it upon himself to aid in that quite often as well. All in all, they were a small family in a large house. [/scrolly]

[ Ryan / Kitty ]

Kitty was nearly ready to foam at the mouth. "PRETTYYYY." As she continued to spazz over everything, Kitty found herself slowly starting to go from impressed to jealous, until finally she fell to a sitting position and crossed her arms, pouting at the floor. "It's no fair. I wanna princess room, too!"

Ryan couldn't help but wonder what those 'other things' might be, finding himself almost a little.. disappointed, honestly, at the first thing to come to mind. Eh... Not that he was really looking to date at the moment anyway, but.. Well, he seemed nice, and they already had a fair bit in common with the whole baby sisters thing. It might've been a nice option, but it wasn't like he couldn't still get to know him, right? So meh. "I see," he mumbled. Hoping he wasn't being too bold, Ryan hesitated before asking, "So.. what about yer parents..?" It was a little strange for a Duke to be so young, after all.
