Loras immediately bit his lip, stopping himself from saying something snide. He had long since learned at the palace that it was an unspoken rule to keep low language to himself in the presence of the prince, and it was awfully hard to keep himself in check. This girl was so irritating, though. Even after his Prince had given the girl an opportunity to apologise and check herself, she still started her sentence with that same snide tone. How dare she try to tell a prince he was wrong.

Snarling softly, Loras' knuckles went white from grasping the hilt of his knife so tightly. Surely her master would not miss this incompetent creature if she were suddenly to go missing. If anything, he bet he would be rewarded for a casual slit to the throat. Though, she had mentioned that she did not have a master, and Loras narrowed his eyes, convinced she was either lying or a high-born lady masquerading as a slave. The latter seemed quite impossible, from the way she spoke down to the way she dressed. Looking up and down his nose at her, it suddenly clicked in Loras' mind. Ah, yes. "So you're a freed slave." A bitter laugh came from deep in his chest, and he shot a condescending glare at the drunk woman. "So that's why you're so cocky to a prince. You think just because some red-faced farm boy bought you out of slavery to be his whore, you can be rude to the next in line for the throne." If there were no maids on this island, there surely had to be slaves of some sort.

The audacity of this girl would ordinarily make Renly set Loras on her almost immediately, how dare she. She was most likely nothing but a lowborn girl who'd been given some kind of righteous mind set by her scummy parents, Loras was practically seething next to him and he was half tempted just to give the order and have him take the girl's head off. That wasn't appropriate in a place like this, though. They weren't in the walls of their castle anymore, Renly couldn't help but wonder if he had any kind of authority among humans or not - of course he did, why wouldn't he? Humans were a lesser race, and certainly nothing compared to elves. "You're lucky I'm in a good mood," he lifted an eyebrow, "all I'd need to say was a word and my dear friend here could take your head off with a single blow." He'd seen it happen before, and that man had been clad in armor, a girl in slaves clothes wouldn't even be half a match.

Touching Loras' shoulder gently, a soft frown crossed the prince's features. "It's alright, the girl obviously isn't understanding us, it's best not to waste breath on those who shouldn't be granted it in the first place." His hand shifted up to lovingly tug at a lock of the younger boy's hair.​

Having her mouth wide open, she was speechless to the things she thought she was. Why were they coming up with such bizarre and insane things for her? Was it really hard for them to realize that she was just a student with powers, like everyone else on the island? Sighing, she kept quiet and let both of them speak their minds on her apparently disgusting behavior towards them. She was done trying to think that she had any choice with what they would say next. They obviously didn't care what she actually was, and would rather made fake accusations to think that she was something lesser then them, then realize that they could literally say that bout everyone the island.

As they finished talking, she nodded to them, trying to signalling that she about to talk. "I understand, and I'm sorry if I seem to look like a slave or a drunk person or whatever, but I am not. Even though you don't believe me." She felt a bit bad that maybe they wouldn't figure out the ways of this school, of this part of the world quickly. "I'll be happy to help you if you need it." Even though they had accused her of many things, in the long run they were just words, and they didn't affect anything in her eyes. "Unless I'm too unworthy." She did a little bow, as she didn't have a dress or anything of that sort on the courtesy.

Loras snarled quietly, tensing and ready to leap at a single word from Renly. However, Renly didn't take his preferred route, and Loras wilted a little at 'good mood.' He didn't like when Renly was in a good mood, he liked slashing and hacking at the rude commoners that dared try their hand at rudeness. Reluctantly, Loras released his knife, crossing his arms tightly across his chest. The leather cover gave him little protection, but it was more comforting than having regular old clothes.

Heaving an exasperated sigh, Loras turned to Renly with a fierce pout and a soft voice. "You never let me have any fun." Though that was far from the truth, it certainly felt that way right now. The girl interrupted their moment, and Loras swung back to her with a horrible expression. "Of course you aren't worthy, you incompetent fool. I thought we'd made that clear by now. If you must help, but I'm sure we could find a better servant elsewhere on this godforsaken island."

The girl's reaction had displeased him still, but at least she understood her place by now. Loras had turned to him and switched on that awful pout that made the prince's heart melt out all over the floor. "Stop it." A frown touched Renly's lips, "stop it, you know I can't-" A hand moved to touch Loras' shoulder, but the girl interrupted before he could ever finish his sentence. His head snapped back to her, a scowl upon his features and his hand dropping away before it met Loras. "Ugh." It didn't look like they had any other choice, Loras' patience was evidently wearing thin, and he began to get awfully hard to deal with when his mood turned south. At least he wasn't on the receiving end of it - or at least he hoped he wasn't.

There was seldom any bad blood between the two either way, and whenever there was it always seemed to be the younger than the two that came out on top. Renly couldn't help but wonder if that was down to the fact that he was far too soft for his own good, or whether it was because Loras was merely awfully persuasive. He preferred to think it was the second option, Renly didn't like to think himself as weak, but no matter how much he denied it - he was awfully weak when it came to the little unicorn boy.​

Looking at them both, it seemed that she had interrupted them at the wrong time, as both of of them had given her glaring looks for the words that chirped out of her mouth. She felt bad, as she didn't like to get on people bad side, and these two didn't see like the type that would put up with a lot of bad behavior from someone else other than the two of them. They seemed to be really close, and Kiyana didn't want to cause any trouble for them by speaking out of turn or anything or that sort. Sighing lightly and quietly, she tried to keep eye contact with at least one of them as she talked.

"I'm at your service then." That was all she could make out, as she didn't want to piss of these two guys anymore then she already had. She didn't want these two to decide that she wasn't worthy to live and kill her for pissing them off. Looking at him, she hoped that her thought wasn't what they had in mind for her. Judging by their looks towards her though, she didn't know if she would be safe. Kiayana also didn't find the thought of them asking every girl on this island the same questions they had asked her. She would be their maid, or whatever if they really did need one.

Even though he had to deal with an insufferable girl and an unsecure castle, Loras still felt his chest warm with a familiar feeling as he interacted with Renly. His prince didn't like it when he pouted, but obviously that only made him want to pout more to get his way. It worked well enough, anyway. I'll kiss him when we've found our room. Even though he was distracted for a moment by his affections, Loras was still cross at the out of line servant girl. Rude.

A smug smile replaced his pout in record time, and Loras proudly stood a little taller. He knew the servant girl would eventually run out of lies and have to come to terms with her servitude. "See, this would have all been much easier if you hadn't lied to us about being a servant. Very good, now, show us to our room." The girl wasn't a very clever creature, but perhaps Renly wouldn't mind taking the thing on as his own personal maidservant. "Perhaps then, if you behave like a lady ought, your Prince might convince your master to release you into the hands of a better master."

Renly lifted an eyebrow, dark eyes flickering back to Loras again. He supposed that was a valid suggestion, whoever her master was, he was sure she'd much rather serve a merciful prince such as himself rather than some lord he didn't know the name of. His squire had already given word, and Renly merely gave a curt nod in agreement with him. "Ah! Excellent idea." He clasped his hands to his chest, they needed a serving girl at least, Loras was far too important to do certain jobs, and Renly feared to degrade him by giving them to him. He linked his arm with the boy's and tugged him close, "let us follow this maid then, Loras, dear."

The man waited expectantly for the girl to show him what to do, they hadn't come with all that much luggage. There hadn't been time. Frankly, Renly missed his home comforts, perhaps he could find a tailor who could craft a new set of clothes for him. They'd snatched up as much coin as they could, but he doubted that would get him very far through the week. Still, it'd do for now. Renly couldn't really see himself working for it.​

Looking at them Kiyana was surprised, no, shocked that they had actually agreed for her to be their servant. When she had done it just a few minutes ago, it was more for a joke, as she thought that the two men wouldn't have been caught dead with her. Sighing lightly and putting on a smile, it seemed as if she wasn't going to get out of this one anytime soon. Looking in the direction of the school, she started to walk, but then walked backwards as she was now their maid, and not just some tour guide. It wasn't like they were going to carry their own bags, because of course that would be too much work for the little newcomers, so she quickly and skillfully grabbed all of them. Thankfully, they hadn't brought that many, but even so, it was still heavy for her. As she started to walk with the bags, she said something to make sure that the two for them knew that they had to follow her. "This, way." She said as she headed for the dorms.
