He reached in the dark for a cheeseclothed dessert, smelling it for the scent of chocolate and handing it to her.
You used to be the King of France, but you might as well be Hades now. (Old French royalty/romance/anarchy and REVOLUTION!!)

“Mmm” she took the treat and unwrapped it. She took a large bite out of the corner, “Delicious.”
"It's good?" He echoed in the quiet pantry.
group
She nodded and offered it to him, “Want a bite?”
"Well, of course," Peter murmured back.
group
Charolette gave the treat to Peter and began searching through the shelf for something else.
He sat on the floor, speaking only after he swallowed his food. "Ms. Charlotte, you hardly know me, how are you already comfortable?"
group
“I’m comfortable with everybody,” she spoke with her mouth full, “I don’t discriminate.” She leaned against the shelves and took another bite.
"But…' he shook his head. "How?"
group
Charolette shrugged, “I don’t know, ‘just as fish are made to swim I was made as I am.’” She quoted a line she heard somewhere.
"Huh," Peter exhaled. "I.. admire that,"
group
“Merci,” she beamed and finished the last bite, “Now what do you want to do?”
(Sooo Is this still open because I heard revolution)
(nah, sorry! My bad for not clarifying it was O/O )
"I'm not sure. I didn't think I'd get this far,"
group
“Well, we could go out to the gardens,” she suggested.
"We could," Peter agreed. How would his mother react if she caught the two of them?
group
“Let’s go!” She went back up to the door, pressing her ear against the wood to listen for anyone.
"Let's take this slowly, okay?" He tried to urge, placing a hand on her back. "They aren't gonna get upset for us going into the garden, so we don't have to sneak,"
group
“But won’t it look suspicious two kids coming out of the pantry?” She snickered.
He laughed under his breath. "Okay, you got me there."
group
“Precisely.” Hearing no one, she gingerly turned the doorknob and cracked it open just enough to peer out, “It looks safe.”
He stood behind her, "Then let's make a break for it,"
group
She opened the door wider to scamper out, hardly waiting for him even though he would know where the gardens were. She headed in the completely wrong direction.
"Eh— Charlotte! Wrong way!" He whisper-yelled.
group
She skidded to a halt, “Oh,” She giggled and darted back over to him.
He pointed for her, with an amused smile.
group
She walked towards the direction he point, “You’re coming too, right?”
"Yes, just slower." He held his hands behind him, smiling.
group
She waited at the entrance for him, “Well, be quicker!” She teased, incessantly giggling.
Thus, of course, he became painfully slower, just to tease.
