The guest of honour merely shrugs and follows the example of the other guests Today, there was something about Miranda that rubbed her the wrong way... I'll just have to ask her tomorrow...

She takes a chunk of beef & begins cutting it into tiny little pieces as she imagines it was something else. Miranda: Wretched little insect! Hogging my Ceddy all to herself! As if things couldn't get any worse, she decided to make me look like a fool. *the knife slips & she cuts her finger* "Owwy..." Stupid thing!She throws the knife at the guard by the door, who barely ducks in time for the blade to pierce the door. Miranda then begins to stab at the beef with a furry. Miranda: Die! Die! Die!She continues to stab at her victim with a frenzy until she stabs the fork into her hand. Miranda: Whether from sorrow, pain, or shame, tears begin to flow down her cheeks. She remains silent as she looks at her hand.

Seeing how Miranda's attitude is just getting worse, Elyon changes the initial plan accordingly. Using the background noises, the other guest's talking and the band playing, to prevent any unwanted attention, she calmly paused eating and asked: "Something bothering you, Miranda?"

Miranda (obvious sarcasm): "No, I always wear a fork in my left hand for special occasions."

"Uh-oh..." Elyon said, looking over her shoulder to see if any guests have turned their gaze yet...
"If you all could excuse me for a moment..." she stated, as she stood up from her seat. Walking past her, Elyon grabbed Miranda by the uninjured arm, bringing her along. "Come with me for a moment, okay?" she whispered, as she made her way to an empty corner of the ballroom...

A little too surprised for words, Miranda let's Elyon lead her away from the table.

Suddenly, Elyon stopped in one of the corners of the room and turned to Miranda, pulling the fork from her flesh and dropping it on the floor. "So, what's bothering you so much then?" the princess asked, as she looked at Miranda's injuries, trying to judge their severity...

"So, what's bothering you so much then?"
Miranda: "Uma..." Now what? Phobos wants me to get on her good side, so I can listen in on her secret plots with Ceddy. Explaining my feelings of jealousy to her definitely won't get me on her good side. And yet... *looks to the floor in shame* Everything I've done tonight has gotten me closer to her bad side, and now I'm about to be scolded for my actions. Could I be any more of a failure?
A tear falls down her cheek.

"Come come..." Elyon started. "It's not that bad. Just let me get something to... Ah, sentry!" The nearest soldier immediatly approached upon being called... "Could you please go get some bandages please?" Without question, the guard obeyed Elyon's request, and hurried to the sickbay.
"You should be careful with your cutterly, Miranda..." Elyon continued. "Especially when you're distracted by something... Anyway... You were saying...?"

Miranda: "I'm sorry, Auntie Ellie. It's... It's just..." *sniff* "About two weeks ago, father was all set to make me queen. I was so excited. Although my coronation was only a week away, it seemed like forever. I tried my best to be patient. The days slowly went by until only one day remained. And then..." *looks up at Elyon* "Ceddy showed up with you by his side. My coronation was canceled as if it never existed. I didn't even get a ball in my honor. All my waiting was for nothing. And now I... Just moments ago you..."
She hugs Elyon & starts to cry on her shoulder.

"Oh my..." Elyon managed to utter, before Miranda tossed herself on her shoulder. Patting the back of her head softly in a comforting way, Elyon rolled her eyes behind Miranda's back... That sounds like a tall tale... This is the kind of stuff you say during the first introduction...
Cornelia had mentioned once that she was a bit naïve, but Elyon certainly was no fool, and Miranda's story simply made no effort to make sense... Well, I might as well play along for now... It should make the night more interresting...
"I'm so sorry to hear that." she said, "How could Phobos do such a thing!?"

Miranda: "You're his sister. The throne of Meridian is rightfully yours. As such..."

"Hush! Sister or not, it's just not fair for you to be treated like this!" Elyon continued. "If he were awake, I'd go to him right now and set things straight!"
The sentry came back with the bandages Elyon had ordered. He was caught slightly off-guard with the princess and servant in their almost sisterly embrace. "Ah, thanks!" Elyon said, as she carefully let go of Miranda to take the bandages from the sodlier, who promptly went back to his post. Helping Miranda back on her own feet, Elyon quickly, and slightly clumsilly, bandaged Miranda's injuries. "There... That should do..."

Miranda: "Th-thanks..." What's she mean by if he were awake?She places her hands behind her back as she smiles shyly to Elyon. With her hands behind her back, she places her hand on the gift from Phobos & contacts him via telepathy. Miranda: P-Phobos?Phobos: Not now, Miranda! I'm busy!Miranda: Busy? Doing what?Phobos: What? Are you like--retarded or something? Everyone knows that I'm doing Elyon's coronation! We can continue this discussion after I place the Crown of Light on Elyon's head & claim what is rightfully mine!Miranda: Isn't it a little early for that? Besides, Elyon's here with me in the ballroom. How are you supposed to put the crown on her head without her?Phobos: Nonsense! She's right here walking in front of me! *places a hand on dream Ellie's shoulders* I'm leading her outside as we speak.Miranda: Sorry to burst your bubble, my lord. But Elyon's welcoming ball isn't even over yet. You must be dreaming.Phobos: !!!!!! The connection is cut as he wakes up.

"That's okay." Elyon replied with a smile. "Come! Let's get back to dinner. Just watch out with the cutterly, okay?"
Already heading back to the table in advance, Elyon turned around halfway to see if Miranda was coming yet...
