The pair sat down at a table teddy soon joined. "Good to see you Lady Anna!" exclaimed Teddy before taking his seat. "Anna why don't you pitch teddy your idea of what you would like to do next week?" said Larry. "Well, I know this museum is fairly large to begin with and to introduce myself to the entire museum piece by piece would be rather daunting, so I wanted to host a gala exclusively for the residents of the museum." said Anna. "A grand concept" said Teddy. "So what I was I would have Ahk make a speech, then an introductory speech of my own. "Then while the citizens eat I make rounds to each of their tables and converse with as many as time allows." Anna continued. "Will there be any outside guests?" asked Teddy. "Sort of, the man im courting "said Anna. "Courting? Excuse me?" asked Larry almost as though he was insulted. Teddy himself seemed surprised even though the idea should not be new to him exactly. "Who might that be Lady Anna?" asks Teddy. "Octavius or a painting version of him" said Anna with a hint of pride. "My own daughter …."said Larry utterly stunned. "He will be attending, and I plan to make a great introduction" said Anna with modest pride. "However, what of budgeting, and catering" asks Anna with a certain uneasiness. "We can handle that, we just need you to choose your cuisine and lay out, after all it is you who will be assuming the throne, this is your effort to know your people." said Teddy. "I need a word with just you Anna." said Larry taking on an irritated tone. "I can talk to you later, but thank you Teddy." said Anna. "Alright, I shall see you tomorrow evening if I do not see you later tonight." said Teddy with a gentle smile before heading out of the painting. "Anna, you're dating.. a roman? Asked Larry still shocked. "Ahkmenrah, mentioned that it would unsettle the people to take the throne without anyone by my least, and if I could court him for longer than 2 weeks he would issue an edict that could help me out." said Anna. "So what, you're just dating him for the throne aren't you?!" asked Larry slightly angry. Of course not!, I admit I met him in the hall of miniatures in the first place and grew to care for him. He himself was sad he couldn't see me because of our heights, now with this man or version of Octavius I have a chance at being happy dad, how could you not trust me?" asked Anna hurt. "Well, I knew you'd date eventually but I least expected this "said Larry softening his argument. "Dad, you act like this is a major crisis. It's not! "said Anna herself becoming angry." Larry decided it was useless to continue the debate, but she was right, he did need to trust her with something eventually. "You can see him Anna, you're right, and I can admit it" said Larry softly this time. With that the two exited the painting. Larry continued on while Anna was greeted by Teddy outside the Painting. "Ah good Lady Anna that I should see you! Now let's discuss cuisine, all that's left for you to do is tell ahkmenrah about what your idea is for him, come up with your speech, and your dinner dress." Said Teddy with delight. "Thank you, have you seen ahk?" Asked Anna. "Right that way!" teddy pointed. And with that she sought him out. Except she could see he was talking to someone, and was shocked to find out who it was. Ahk approached Anna when he saw her. "Looks like Romeo wanted to pay a visit" said ahk .It was Octavius from the painting. Anna my lady said Octavius approaching Anna. "I'll leave he two of you said." Ahk. "I thought I would surprise you said Octy." "Also I brought this for you." under his cloak he produced a crown of olive branches and placed it lightly on her head. "Thank you". said Anna. I came only to leave you with that my dear, I can explore your world tomorrow perhaps he suggested. "Sounds good" said Anna. Thank you and I shall see you tomorrow he said, pecking her cheek before he left. Anna Made her Way into the Egyptian room To find Ahk studying the inscriptions on the walls. "Hey, my dad and Teddy were just discussing the details of the gala." said Anna interrupting his thought. "What I would like is for you to make an introduction about my presence at least. And from there I could give a speech to the people" she added." I suppose I could" Said Ahk. "Lady Anna has your suitor brought you a gift?" asked ahk . She knew he acknowledged the wreath on her head. "Indeed, and so far I'm impressed by this man." she said. I've discovered something most interesting, your age has a device that's a box, and below it is a tablet where you can push certain symbols and the same symbol appears on the box said ahk. "Oh yes the computer "said Anna. Right said ahk still perplexed. "Well anyways I know that money could still be a catch for you, with the power of the tablet you could look up the gowns of your choosing with the ... Computer and bring them straight to you, all you have to do is push on it." said ahk with enthusiasm." Interesting, I shall try that but I will need a computer for speech ideas more than anything said Anna. But until then good morning said Anna. "To you too lady Anna" said Ahk before he disappeared and the sun outside, rose.
