For you Yoyo! I'm trying! Dx -------------------------------------------------
I smelled the kitchen before I could see any part of it. The bitter dark scent of coffee drifted from the plain looking door before it was was swung open by one of Gill's large hands. I heard the gasping of the maid from my hiding place too. She sounded like she was in pain and with each gasp I could not help but to cringe. The kitchen was, otherwise, strangely silent.
"Gill! Tell me Keelan's not following!" Arrow chirped. I heard him approach.
"Arrow, where are the workers?" Gill snapped. I peeked out of the bag to stare at Arrow's apron-covered waist. His hands gripped his hips tightly showing his displeasure.
"The market opened. I sent them off shopping. What is Rosa doing here? Oh no..." Arrow shifted his weight.
"Yes. She saw her. What should we do from here?" Gill moaned. Arrow's face was suddenly at my level. He winked at me, but his crystal eyes were clouded with worry.
"What do you...?" Arrow began, but the door swung open as if to answer the both of them. Sobbing filled the gravely quiet room with sound.
"What're you doing?" slurred Keelan.
"Amy!" I heard Catra sob, "I lost her!" Arrow straightened up briskly.
"My prince!" yelped the poor maid. I guess Keelan, even with a hangover, put two and two together.
"YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS!" he roared, "What've you done?" Gill turned to face him. I saw the silver haired male leaning heavily on his look-alike, his face a pale green tone from being sick. A terrible frown rested on his lips.
"What do you mean?" Catra whimpered wiping his eyes. Rosa was released and she bowed.
"I saw her, I think!" the maid apologized. All went silent again for a moment. Arrow poured the coffee into some mugs and passed them around.
"Might as well have Rosa and Amy meet. It may be nice to have another girl," the cook sighed. Gill hand dipped into the bag and fished me out. Rosa was pretty, her black hair tied back into a bun and round glasses sitting lightly on her nose. Her brown eyes were warm. I felt myself blush. Her cheeks were turning pink too.
"H-hello Amy..." she stammered. I was placed onto the wood table as I waved to her. Beside me, Keelan slumped into a chair with a long moan.
"I hate life," he murmured sourly. Coffee stained his upper lip. Catra sat before me, his mug shaking in his hands.
"I thought I lost you," he whispered to me. I patted the side of his hand as he touched my shoulder.
"Excuse my rudeness," Rosa spoke up, "But what are you?"
"Is that a human?" a different voice boomed. Great. Another giant. Will I meet the whole castle before the day was done? A glint of silver caught my eye as a man in armor gazed blankly at me from the doorway. Gill paled as the knight approached.

Keelan raised his head at the sound of the new voice. His blue eyes were cold as they gave the newcomer a sharp glare. He leaned closer to me and dropped his heavy arm to obscure me from view. The thump of his limb hitting the wood so close to me sent a jolt through my entire being. Catra grew tense too.
"Talon," Gill grunted in greeting, "What are you doing here?" The knight shook his head in surprise. He removed his helmet and set the cold iron tenderly to the smooth stone floor of the kitchen.
"Looking for you like always," grunted to youthful boy shaking out his deep red hair. The friction of the helmet and his scalp caused the short flame-toned hair to stand on end. His smile was warm as he cautiously approached us.
Which caused a low growl to be issued from the hungover giant protecting me. A large palm connected with the back of the look-alike's head. Catra's heaving chest towered over me.
"Stop that. I think the more trustworthy people who know about Amy, the better," scolded the prince, "That means she has more people to turn to for help when she needs it."
"How do you know you can trust these people?" retorted Keelan sourly rubbing the back of his hurt pride. I looked up to the sngry giants with a flutter of fear in my chest. They both reminded me of a vision of someone glaring at their reflection for being off, Keelan and Catra looked so similar. A frown crossed my features.
Heart pounding in my chest hotly, I marched along the length of Keelan's massive arm making sure to stomp my feet as loudly as I could in displeasure. All went silent to watch my bravery. I motioned for Rosa and Talon to come closer. The knight's boots clanged against the stone floor as Talon stood next to the maid at the table's edge.
"It is nice to meet you," I smiled brightly despite the blue-eyed glare boring a hole into my back, "I'm Amy, the human." Talon laughed heartily, causing the very air to shake.
"I knew it!" he whooped, "You are a human! I heard that Airius has a pet-human and it has brought them luck. Are you Lord Catra's pet Amy?" I head Catra gasp behind me.
"Hold your tongue!" Arrow hissed tapping the knight on the head with a wooden spoon. With a hurt look, Talon muttered an apology.
"She is nice," Rosa smiled. She took something that she was hiding in the long pocket on her cream apron and handed it to me. It smelled like chocolate.
"Mr. Arrow gave me some yesterday," she explained, "You can have the rest if you wish. It is good!" I took it into my hands, grateful for some female companionship.
"Rosa," Catra stated bringing the attention to himself, "You may dine with us tonight. Talon, you may also join if you so wish. I forgive your rudeness." The prince's smile was warm and bright, kile the one he wore our first meeting. I nibbled the chunk of chocolate slowly, staring at him in awe of his compassion. Rosa flushed a bright red, but nodded all the same. Talon declined saying that eating with his comrades was important to him. He fiddled with his silver breastplate and I noticed something odd.
"Well, the Lady's dog caught me in the halls. I must take this to her," Arrow sighed hefting a silver tray with a polished cast iron pot balanced on top of it. He strode out of the kitchen, red curly ponytail bouncing merrily against his shoulders.
"Come commander," grunted Talon pulling on Gill's raggity sleeve, "You promised a spar to me is Arrow won the drinking contest. It was a pleasure Miss Amy!" Gill smiled in defeat and shot me a wink before exiting the opposite way than Arrow.
"Come," Keelan grunted offering me his hand. I was about to get on, when Catra's hand came down to fill Kee's palm. The retainer looked at his master slightly confused.
"Let the girls have some time together. I trust Miss Rosa," Catra grinned, "I'll go to your room to help with the paperwork. Miss Rosa, mine needs cleaning." Catra chuckled as he stood with Keelan's hand in his.
"Girl time?" Kee grunted with an arched eyebrow, "Keep her safe." He stood and allowed himself to be dragged.
"My Lord, it is your paperwork anyways, so you are not helping, you are finally doing your JOB."
"You are so mean!" Their voices vanished. I was left alone with Rosa. She offered me a shaky tanned hand. I looked up to her kindly.
"You need to remain steady," I sighed. Her hand tensed and I clambered on. She placed me in a pocket on her chest as she began to walk. Her gait held more bounce, but that was due to something else.
"Miss Rosa?" She peered down at me with her brown eyes, her glasses slipping a bit. "Are there any men in this country with... breasts?" She almost tripped on the stairs.
"N-No, why?" she squeaked.
"Because Talon had... breasts," I admitted averting my gaze.
"So you saw... I'll tell you more in Lord Catra's room..." We continued on in bitter silence.

I returned to the wonderful room which belonged to Catra. The painted walls merrily reflected the sunlight streaming in from the crystal windows. I gasped in pleasure. Rosa let me dismount her hand on Catra's nightstand. I looked in dismay at the cloths strewn across the floor and the toppled over books. Paper, some important looking, littered the rugs on the floor.
"He must have been looking for you," the maid sighed shaking her head, "Where do you want to go after we are done?" Her eyes shown from behind the glare of her glasses.
"Keelan's room," I replied almost automatically. Realizing what I said, I clasped my hands across my mouth. Rosa laughed as I tried taking back my words and rashly saying it was because Catra was there.
"You like Sir Keelan?" she joked lifting up a feathered duster.
"Kool-Aid? No way! Nu-uh! Never!" I yelped turning my back to her. A feather tickled my cheek.
"You do," she pushed. I turned red and sat down.
"I just met him yesterday and love at first sight can screw itself," I muttered, "It never happens in my world. And on top of that, there is a good bit of a difference in species!" I turned to look at the maid, who had begun her work. A large brown feather lay by my hands.
"You look just like us, only smaller. Besides," she replied bluntly, "I think he likes you too. Sir Keelan is just as awkward as they come." She put down her duster on the window seat's red cushions and began to put away his mess. I saw the shirt he had worn yesterday wadded in the corner. My heart began to hurt.
"Now about Talon," she stated as she dumped the clothes on Catra's unmade bed and began to fold them, "She would rather not have anyone really know her secrete. The only reason I know is because I caught her by accident in the baths. She ran away from her home for one reason or another and is in hiding. That is all I know. Please keep this between us!" The maid finished folding swiftly. I took the feather in my hands and stood.
"As long as I can take baths with you two. Then we have a deal," I nonchalantly replied.
"Oh my yes! We have to be better than the boys!" Rosa squeaked turning red. I began to dust the nightstand when Catra burst in, face covered in blue ink.
"He is so mean!" the giant cried flopping in a chair near his desk. He looked at me dusting and his eyes widened.
"Amy!" he almost sang, "You are too cute!" He was about to reach for me when a massive hand snaked around me.
"You can have your plaything back when you lean to sign the right papers," Keelan spat, "My apologies Rosa." He nodded curtly as he made a quick exit.
"Kool-Aid!" I shouted, his grip a little too tight. He hand loosened.
"Arrow returned your silver device to us and Lord Catra signed the wrong tax reform," Keelan sighed, "He wanted to see you and make sure you came to no harm." Again, the giant looked very tired.
"Oh..." was all I could get out. He nodded. I looked at him and held my gaze. Stomach butterflies taunted me from the inside as I studied his features closely.
"What is it?" the giant asked peering down at me. His blue eyes were curious and shown with light. The same light danced off his silver hair in a way that...NO! I could not think like that or...
"Keelan?" I asked meekly, "Can we paint one of your walls?"
