AN: Oh hello, I'm back.

Chapter Nineteen

Tuesday, May Fifteenth

Remington 'Remmy' Carlisle, Legacy of Adonis

"Satin? Not today, Satin!" Remmy drops the material and laughs, "Why is that even in here?"

"No idea sir," his youngest maid answers, trying to find the fashion forward boy an outfit he'd be comfortable with. Remmy is a go with the flow kind of guy, except when it comes to clothing.

The pads of his fingers hit the walls of the closet. He looks at the clothes, trying to pick the perfect outfit. Yesterday, Viatrix instilled to them how important looking good for Ciara was good for their image. Remmy is not going to have a terrible image.

He scans through his closet and asks, "Are you sure this is supposed to be a casual event?"

"Certainly Sir." The youngest maid replies, "That's what Her Royal Highness Ciara told us."

"Mmkay." Remmy responds. Almost immediately after he spots a white button down shirt and blue pants. Grabbing the brown suede shoes he wore last week, he changes.

Once he exits his bathroom, his eldest maid replies, "You might need these." She hands him a pair of sunglasses.

"Thank you." He responds, all of his intent is in fixing his hair.

She rolls her eyes at him and comments, "You have ten minutes before they leave."

"I won't be late," Remmy tells her.

The middle maid comes towards the vanity, passing him another comb, "We hope so."

After another minute of fussing with his hair, Remmy states, "I'm ready!"

"Go to the front foyer." The youngest maid tells him.

"Thank you!" Remmy's halfway out the door when he replies, "Thank you all!"

He walks the halls and makes it to the foyer with minutes to spare. Spotting Finn, he sits beside him.

"How has you morning been?" Remmy asks.

Finn clutches his thermos tighter, "Good, it's been uh, good."

"That's nice to hear." Remmy replies, "One of my maids tried to get me into satin and satin is the work of the devil, I swear."

"Oh I wouldn't say it's all that bad." There is a mixed woman standing in front of them, "But I agree there are better fabrics, like tulle."

"Your Highness," Remmy stands to greet her, "I love your outfit."

It's a black tulle dress with gold stars. Ciara pairs it with a pair of black heeled boots. Nothing more, nothing less. I looks spectacular on her.

"Why thank you Sir Remmington." Ciara responds, "Your outfit looks good too."

"Call me Remmy." Remmy replies.

"Call me Ciara," she turns to address the group of selected, "In fact, all of you call me Ciara. I haven't really felt like Her Highness since my husband died. Now youngins, come along. We're going sightseeing."

The selected head outside and are ushered into cars. One would note that these aren't limos, like what is used to escort the rest of the royal family, but Remmy isn't that observant. He's just trying to get into a car with Finn.

Luckily for him, he gets placed into a car with Finn and Kylian, his bros. The driver heads into town. Though traffic is rough, they make it to their first stop before they were expecting.

Piling out of the cars, twenty selected (not all could make it or wanted to go), Ciara, and countless guards head to their first sight. It's a giant statue of Zeus, gated for security.

The group heads in, Ciara managing to get them bypassed through security. Her first words to the group here are, "This is the only recorded spot that Zeus has ever been in. Back when the Illéas were our royal family, they erected the statue where the first Legacy of Zeus, Gregory Illéa was claimed post-war."

Remmy yanks the hood off of Finn before Finn finds a spot and Remmy loses him in the crowd. Finn starts to sketch it in his sketchbook, recording the memory.

"You draw amazing," Remmy notes, "Have I said that?"

"Yeah," Finn does look up, "Yeah, uh, you have."

"Oh," Remmy replies, "Alright."

Finn takes pictures of the statue so he can keep it for reference. Remmy on the other hand, joins some of the other selected in taking photos with the statue.

After around thirty minutes there, the group is ushered back into their cars. Kylian and Remmy engage in a conversation about the statue and whatever prophecy Kylian uttered this morning. Finn however, was trying his hardest to draw the statue, but the shading was eluding him.

Though, soon after, they reached their second destination. Remmy and Finn weren't truly paying attention. Finn was focusing on his drawing and Remmy was focusing on Finn.

Remmy once again pulls down Finn's hood, not noticing the clenched hand around the artist picture while he takes a picture of Finn. Finn doesn't look up for a single one of them, but if you look closely, his expression changes to anger as the pictures increase.

They don't spend long at the second place before getting in the car and heading to the third location. While Finn has been ignoring the constant pestering from Remmy throughout the day and most of the selection, he's had enough. For the third time today, Remmy yanks the hood off of Finn's head.

"I can see perfectly fine with the hood on." Finn grips his pencil hard enough it breaks in two..

Remmy replies, "Well… We can't see you."

"That's the… that's the point Remmy." Finn replies, he's still clutching the broken pencil. In fact, as he speaks, his grip tightens, "I don't… I don't…"

"You don't what?"

"I don't like it when you take off my hood!" Finn spits out, throwing the pencil and sketchbook to the ground.

Both of them pause for a moment. A couple of the selected are looking at the two of them.

Finn continues, "My privacy一is invaded every, everytime you rip...you rip my hood off. And… and… and I don't like一I don't like it!"

Another minute passes between them. Unknowingly to the two of them, Ciara has corralled the other selected away, giving them as much privacy as possible.

"You could've said something." Remmy comments.

Finn asks back, "Could I?"

"Yeah." Remmy replies before walking out to rejoin the group, "You could've."

"I am...I am now." Finn picks up his things and leaves Remmy in the dust to join Rose and her buddies.

Remmy stands there, watching him go. The group almost leaves him where he's standing until Kylian grabs his arm and tells him, "Come on. We got more sights to see."
