Tiana's fingers continued to tap on the coffee table as she looked over her plans. Grabbing a pencil she scratched out one part and substituted it with another then she erased that part and went back to her original plan. After a few more times of erasing and rewriting and rewriting and erasing Tiana threw the pencil on the paper, digging her fingers into her scalp. Putting her head on the table Tiana looked at the fire her eyes closing a bit. But as they closed the door was thrown open. Tiana jumped at the sound and looked at the intruder.
"Morning!" Naveen smiled happily going to the curtains throwing them open to which Tiana promptly turned her head away from the light now shining in the room. Mama Oddie came in with Juju on her arm and the woman from the kitchen. They both held bundles of multicolored cloths in their arms as they made their way towards the bed
"What is going on?" Tiana got up and wiped the sleep from her eyes.
"Your hair looks horrible." Naveen commented as he went over examining her.
"Don't you have someone else to annoy?" she grumbled.
"Actually no." he pushed her towards Mama Oddie then picked up the papers on the table. "Court is closed today." he read it over before taking the pencil and writing something down.
"Why?" As she asked Mama Oddie and the woman held up several pieces of cloths to her face before throwing a great deal of them to the side before deciding on different shades of green.
"Not your business." he scribbled out another part before going to the next paper. "Try the emerald Mama Oddie." he said offhandedly.
"Okay. Then what is this for?" Tiana moved her head to the side when the woman put a swab to her bruised lip.
"For you." he wrote something else down.
She gave him a pointed look although he could not see her. Again the woman tried to wipe her lip but Tiana moved her head.
"Would you stop moving?!" the woman grumbled.
"As soon as you tell me what you are doing." Tiana countered look at her.
"She's trying to get rid of your bruises dear." Mama Oddie answered as she pinned pins into the cloth, although, not the right way. The woman took the cloth from her and handed her the swab. Mama Oddie took it as she traded placed with the woman.
"Why?"
"Because you're ugly." Naveen said chuckling to himself.
"Haha." Tiana said dryly as Mama Oddie put it to her lip. Tiana flinched at the contact but did not pull away.
"Okay. Now," Naveen went over to her handing her a piece of paper with the last half of the plan on it. "what is supposed to be happening here?"
"This," she grabbed the pencil from him.
"Don't move!" the woman hissed as she measure Tiana.
"Sorry." tiana stood straight. "is supposed to move over here while they,"
"Stop moving!"
"...move in from the side." she handed in the pencil and stood up straight so the woman could finish measuring her.
"Well, wait. Couldn't they go inside instead?" Naveen asked.
"I only went with low ground. I was not sure everyone could do." she explained as Mama Oddie put her glowing hand on her arm.
"Oh okay. Well we could ask." Naveen went back to the table and put the paper down.
"Is all this really necessary?" Tiana asked. The woman put a seafoam colored part of the cloth on her shoulder letting it drape across her front and fall down her back then she grabbed another part and placed it as close to her neck as possible before getting the scissors.
"Yes it is." Naveen nodded as he instructed the woman where to cut.
"Why?" she slapped his hand away as came close to her body.
"You ask that question alot." he commented as he showed the woman where to cut again but Tiana again slapped his hand away which made him slap her hand.
"No children do I have to separate you?" Mama Oddie chided as she went over to the bed and sat down on it.
"No ma'am." they both mumbled.
"What's wrong with the dresses in the closet?" she asked raising her arms up.
"You are to be with advisors, yes they may have a sweet tooth but you still need to be professional." he explained.
"How long will this take? I have to get back to my work." tiana asked after awhile.
"As long as it takes. You keep moving." the woman answered.
Tiana did not roll her eyes because it was true she was moving a lot. It was hours before they stopped and let her move and eat something. She went to the table as food was brought to her. She read the writing that Naveen put on the paper and used it. Most of it was good and she could use it. Taking a bite of one of the apples Tiana looked everything over again and again. Seeing something new Tiana went to reference one of the books she got from the library but it did not have what she was looking for.
'Okay.' she got up and went to the library and got her book. When she came back Naveen was on the couch looking through the papers with some of his scattered around.
"Whaat's going on?" tiana kept the door open as she came in.
"Thought of something." he said simply moving the papers around for a specific one.
"Okay what?" Tiana kneeled on the floor looking over what he had so far.
"Okay so you have them coming in from the ground right?" he moved a map so that it covered the entire table. "But you could also have them coming from the sky."
"Who has the equipment?"
"The elves I believe or the faeries but still we'll be able to get it either way." he went on with his explanation and Tiana listened intently inserting a few things here and there. Soon it was the middle of the night and the two were burned out.
"Okay. We can go over this tomorrow in the library." Naveen stood up grabbing his papers.
"Okay." Tiana nodded cleaning up the table a bit. "At what time?"
"Well when do you get up?" Naveen asked as he went to the door.
"I never go to sleep." she shrugged opening the door for him.
"Well that doesn't sound good." Naveen leaned against the doorway looking down at her.
"I dont think it is. I think my hearing is going and my vision and my judgement is impaired." she smiled to herself before looking up at him. He seemed closer than before making her lean away. Naveen came closer and soon Tiana felt herself doing the same thing before he stopped just before their lips touched.
"Time for bed fauteur de troubles." he smirked leaving her there.
Tiana came back down to earth. She went back to the heel of her feet and looked around. She blinked rapidly then flinched. She felt herself gag at the thought before she slammed the door shut and went to bed.
