o.O.O.o
Integra sat bored at her daily lessons. Her tutor was out sick and Walter was teaching her today.
"This is Earl Grey, Miss Integra. Notice the subtle underlying taste to the tea."
'Lil 'Tegra struggled to sit up straight in the massive throne-like dining chair. She reached her arm across the table, trying desperately to reach the delicate tea cup just out of reach. Her shoulders were barely level with the table top, despite the several cushions she was sitting on.
"Earl Grey is brewed from an extract of the rind of the Bergamot Orange…"
She frowned as the lace cuff of her frilly dress, which she detested, trailed in the marmalade. It was just a few more inches…
"Now, Earl Grey is a personal favorite of mine, as well as one of my heroes, Captain Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation…"
"And Artemis Fowl!" Integra interrupted, giving up on the tea cup for the moment and sitting back in her chair.
Walter turned from the blackboard where he was writing notes at the end of the table.
"I find your fascination with that particular character rather disturbing considering the amount of power you will one day be inheriting. And do sit up in your chair Miss Integra."
'Lil 'Tegra stuck out her tongue at him, just as he turned his back to her once again.
"Now, turning to other variations of Earl Grey…"
She once again turned her attention back to the cup of tea in front of her. Biting her tongue and furrowing her brows she stretched across the table…she could get it with her fingertips…just a little further…
"Miss Integra?"
Integra jumped, which managed to give her just enough of distance to grab the handle of the tea cup firmly. It was also enough of a movement to snap the handle off the cup and send the contents of hot tea sloshing on to her lap.
"Shite!"
"Pardon me?" Walter turned to face her, and she quickly hid the broken tea cup in her soaking lap, biting her lip against the pain of the heat.
"Um…I meant…uh…Shite…aki mushrooms?"
Walter blinked, "Yes, actually, that is correct. Yellow Earl Grey is often brewed with powdered Shitake Mushrooms. I'm impressed Miss Integra. You have an excellent palate for one your age."
Integra waited until Walter had returned his attentions to the tea set, before quietly slipping out of her chair and through the open servants' door Walter had left open when he had wheeled the tea cart in. If she could just get to her room, change, dispose of the broken tea cup and sneak back before Walter noticed she was gone…
"Going somewhere Miss Integra?"
'Lil 'Tegra winced. Walter's senses were too good for someone his age. She was convinced he had been a ninja in a previous life.
"Just to the loo, I won't be long," she said, keeping her back to him to prevent him from seeing her tea stained skirt.
"Very well…hurry back."
Fifteen minutes later 'Lil 'Tegra was in the back garden, trying to climb the trellis on the back wall barefoot, dressed in corduroys, a t-shirt stolen from one of the mechanic boys, and one of Walter's old caps to hide her long blond hair.
"Miss Integra?"
Integra knew when she was beaten. Sighing, she let herself slide to the ground, accepting the shoes and stockings Walter handed her.
"Come now Miss Integra, It's time for our lesson on the comparative economics of Europe in the 18th Century."
Integra sighed, allowing herself to turned around and trudged back towards the dining room, making sure to stand up very straight while doing so.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Germany, a Kittenboy named Schrödinger was waking up…
o.O.O.o
OOC's Reasoning: (ObsessiveOtakuChick…Ironic Lettering, eh?) Even the best and brightest have to be trained in the beginning. Sure Integra's awesome, but they had to get her there SOMEHOW, right? Yeah, I know it kind of petered out in the end. That's why I need new ideas!
What do you think? Should I continue? Or just give it up? There just isn't enough Hellsing Crack though… PLEASE REVIEW!!
P.S. I'm not making the thing about the mushrooms up. It's true!
