Loli was sitting at a table of a fancy restaurant in the viewing district. She had sent a request that the Emperor join her for breakfast first thing in the morning, bribing with word and gift from Taunny. So she had been here since the very first rays of light trickled into the world. She was wearing only her maid outfit. Not with the over sized lab coat she had been trying to wear before. One had to wonder where she kept her Pokemon. She didn't seem to be doing much at the moment. Not eating or talking. She was drawing, directly on the white table cloth. Like a school child with a desk. Though her drawings did not deface the table. Quite the opposite. Rather than a plane table it was now a tapestry of a beautiful story. Exquisite details. It was on par with something that even the Emperor might have displayed somewhere. She seemed absorbed in the heat of the moment.

There was a sort of commotion outside, a conglomerate of cheers and praise, and some murmuring. Immediately after, Zolanius strode in. It wasn't often that he was seen outside the palace, and his public appearance was something for the people to be excited about. The people in the restaurant watched him as he made his way to Paige's table, all colored up by her drawings. Zolanius didn't pay much attention, and questioned if she even knew he was there. He sat down on the chair, and waited. He wasn't wearing his usual armor, but instead was wearing some black regalia with gold embroidery. On his hip was Eon's harness with the same sword in tow. Silver and sparkling with the poisonous barbs.

Lolli continued drawing, or perhaps coloring as she did some of both. And continuing. And continuing. All up until the sever came by and asked if they where ready to order. Lolli looked up and seemed to take notice of the emperor for the first time. She scribbled out the most recent thing she had been drawing, an image of Taunny to anyone who put in the effort to check, squinted a little, and tilted there head to the side. Then again it was actually pretty good, the stupid colors just smudged allot.
"Evening Emperor Zolanious, so lovely of you to join me here. Perhaps you would like to order first?"
She scooted her chair closer around to the Emperor while he ordered so that they where sitting literally right next to one another. once it was her turn she ordered dessert, and only dessert. Then made a demand as an after thought.
"Could you also exchange this table cloth for a cleaner one?"
She had definitely been the one to mess it up. But her demand still stood. She turned to the Emperor as the waiter left. Leaning on the table and putting her head on her hand. Making a little triangle of sorts.
"So, Emperor Zolanius, I'm so happy you could finally join me for a date. I was beginning to think you didn't like me. "

It wasn't long before a waiter appeared, and looked like a complete emotional mess. Thin, sweaty, quivering and quaking in his shoes. Perhaps he was nervous about serving the Emperor and his guest? When he asked for an order, Zolanius already knew what he wanted.
"I'll have the uh... Pancakes with Spoink bacon, toast and your finest Miltank milk. Please."
He shakingly scribbled down the order and the dessert order, and stumbled off to get it all processed. Another employee, a slave, came by and took the cloth away, only to return and place a clean one before the patrons.
"Pardon if I seem a bit distant of you, Paige. But I don't really like anyone who outright tosses around accusations without wanting an explanation. But aside from that, I like you well enough to overlook that transgression..."

"Accusations? Transgression? I have no idea what your talking about."
Lolli leaned back in her chair with an unhappy sigh. Already she had done something to upset the Emperor. How he didn't blow up parts of his empire in rage every day was beyond her capacity to think about. He must kill his people left and right. At least when Taunny killed people it was for a good reason. And she never really got mad that often. Well she wasn't ever not mad really either. But she rarely got to that next level of mad that was actually mad for her.
Whatever the case Loli began fiddling with her large cuff that covered her entire forearm. It was beginning to chafe at her joints. She hadn't taken it off since getting it and was beginning to wonder if she was supposed to or not. Around her neck was the medallion key-a-ma-bob that she had been given to access the embassy room. She was highly disappointed that it wasn't a weapon. Though she supposed it would hurt pretty bad if she decided to bash someones face in with it. The sharp edges would make a nice cut.

Zolanius watched as she began playing with her clothes. She forgot already?
"You're awfully forgetful, aren't you? The embassy? Shouting and calling me a rapist? Anyone else would've been insulted. But you do not seem to grasp the concept of feelings. No offense, if it bothers you.~"
He might've sounded a bit spiteful, but he wasn't used to insults that he couldn't silence outright. Diplomatic immunities seem to give the illusion of power where it is not necessary, but Zolanius' good graces with his subjects always displayed a bit of contentment with outlandish slander and insults, so really, he didnt care. Just wanted to talk, really.
The waiter came by with a tall glass of milk, and bowed.
"Your food should be finished shortly, m- my lord."
He hustled away to see to it that the order was finished.

"Oh your still upset over that !? I thought we had gotten over that yesterday. Today's a new day, no need to live on yesterdays problems."
Silly silly emperor. She was certain they had already worked that out. Or had they? she wasn't really sure anymore. She had forgotten all about it already. He should just do the same. As she spoke she was able to detach a god sized piece of chafed skin, roll it into a ball, and flick it out into the sand somewhere.
"Besides, what would your reaction be if I came into your room at night , yelled you awake, then ogled you while you stood there all naked? "
It was all about perspective. Of course it was. Wasn't it? Though she had a feeling of just what he would do if she was in his room and he was naked. Hopefully he could keep a little more tact during this conversation. Loli didn't seem to take notice, but where she had detached the bit of skin was starting to bleed. The blood pooling up at the cuff then following its line down her arm until gravity forced it to drip. The drip went right down onto the white of her dress, probably staining it forever.

"That is not how the empire works. Everything must be sorted out and settled. Again, everything here is clockwork. Even emotional status."
She was peachy... Had a good state of mind, a well-placed perspective. That will get her far, but not here. When she tried to reverse the situation and put some empathy into Zolanius, he couldn't help but give a hearty laugh about the idea.
"Even if you miraculously sneak into my quarters, I have young women see me naked almost every morning! In all honesty, Miss Leolli, I wouldn't pay you any mind. Except for the fact that you would be the most petite one there.~"
He tried not to show it but he almost enjoyed the idea of it. But these thoughts were best left unsaid. He then took notice of her blood.
"Paige, you're bleeding..." He yelled aloud so the staff can hear. "Can we have some bandages and some herbs over here!? Quickly!"

Was that an insult or a compliment? It was hard to say. At least he wasn't sleeping with children, or so he claimed. Who knew with these ruler types. Always doing whatever they wanted. Right now for example he was making a scene over a little bit of blood. A LITTLE BIT OF BLOOD. What kind of Emperor made this big of a fuss over a few drips of blood. She simply snatched her arm away when the person arrived with bandages. Took several of them and just held them against the slightly bleeding area.
"It's nothing, really. Just a little bit of chafing from the cuff is all."
She held up her arm, splotched with blood stains, to show off that she was really fine. More blood came out from under the cuff though. It was apparent that she had more damage than it really appeared. She simply held the bandages to it again to catch the rest of the blood. It wasn't a large amount of blood. But certainly more than should be from minor chaffing or a small bit of picked off skin.
"See I'm fine. Whats taking that food so long hmm? Dessert, bacon? Remember?"
The questions where clearly directed at the waiter who had brought the bandages.
