A bit of a shorter chapter, but I felt as though I needed to clear some things up. Do enjoy, and tell me what you think.
Chapter 3. Normal POV.
Amu grunted as Rima pulled her dress laces impossibly tight.
"I don't kn-ow! To tight!"
"Sorry, Amu." Rima apologized.
"I have no idea how people stay in these dresses for the whole day. I'm about to die from lack of oxygen." Amu complained. Rima sighed.
"I have to wear one too, Amu. Don't remind me. Besides, don't you want to look good for Sir Calothstine?"
"Are you still going on about that? Come on, you know I'm not interested. Besides, Calothstine will be to sick to notice what we are wearing, fancy or not. It's more for show." Amu retorted, scowl on her face.
"Actually, that wasn't what I was implying, Amu. But then again, maybe you do want to look extra special for him." Rima smiled innocently when Amu glared.
"You almost done?" The pinkette asked, still slightly annoyed.
"Almost…wait, last ribbon…Okay! All done!" Rima took a step back to view Amu from a better vantage point. "Hmmm…bit frilly for me, but the blue looks very nice on you."
"Thanks…here, your turn." Amu held up an equally frilly, yellow, counterpart to her dress, and Rima grimaced.
"Do I even have to go? I mean, it's not like Calothstine is even going to be looking at me…" Rima trailed of at the sight of Amu's eyes. "Never mind."
"Mhm. Okay, story check." Amu commanded. Rima rolled her eyes.
"Amu, we've been over it a thousand times already, I wont forget our background or anything." Rima complained.
"Really? But I forget, how did we meet each other? What was our big problem anyways? Oh, and what was your name again?"
"God, fine. We met each other when we were little children, your parents were close friends with my parents. Practically grew up together. We just came from Feyland, up north, visiting our friend Maia, who just got married to a count. We are here on an errand for your beloved mother, whom has told the both of us to buy a particularly expensive dining room set. She absolutely needs it. It was her dying wish to see it in her house. But, out of your clumsy and air headed behaviour, you got robbed by a bunch of petty thieves. Calothstine, who saw you get robbed, and out of his good-natured heart, rushed to your aid. But the thieves, who just happened to be Yaya and Utau had already run off with your dignity and money. The money that you were going to use for that dining set. Since Calothstine is a sucker for helpless people, especially girls,"
"Which all men are." Utau, who was standing next to Rima, with an amused look on her face, piped in.
"He has decided to loan you the money," Rima continued. "For that incredibly expensive dining set. But, oh! When we get to his castle-like house later today, Calothstine will be horribly sick, and you, being the apple of his eye, will be worried for his health. Even worse, no doctor will be able to diagnose his problem, because we just gave an insane amount of money to a Black magic dealer to make us a custom poison, just for him. I hope he's happy, even when we're robbing him he's spoiled. So after a little while, you recommend him to our partners in crime, Kukai and Kairi, whom I do hope are making good reputations as miracle healers. Since word of them has passed around, he might trust them. If not them, then he should trust you. They heal him, slowly, but gradually. And with every visit they make to Calothstine, they will also be secretly mapping his house and locating his goldmine vault. Once we find it, we make a plan of escape, and on Kairi and Kukai's last visit, we take as much gold as possible from the vault, and flee to the farthest country from Calothstine's residence as possible. Your name is Alice, and mine is Constantine. Happy?"
"Very good. A few little details you missed, but we'll talk about them on the way there." Amu approved. "Now then! How about we get you into you dress?"
"But it took hours to put yours on!" Rima exclaimed.
"Well then, I do hope Calothstine is patient."
