"Would you like your pants to be washed?" Lilah asked, looking at him out of the corner of her eye. "If you want to stop at your room and change quickly, we can do that."

"No, I have to go home tomorrow, and these pants are old to begin with." He glanced back up then stuck his hands into his back pockets. "Stopping by my room sounds nice, though." He looked at her with a slight grin.
group
"All right. You can change, and then we can go to the kitchen," Lilah said, smiling back at him. They reached the door, and she stepped inside.

Cameron held it open for her, then followed her inside. What do I have to change into? He asked himself as he shut the door.
His own voice answered, Your sweater and jeans. Williams told you to bring an extra tux.
group
Lilah hummed as they walked. Maybe she shouldn't have worn such a nice dress. It's not like they were doing anything special. She could go change into something new, herself…
"Do you know the rest of the way to your room?"

Cameron jumped out of his thoughts. "Oh, yeah, thanks." He grinned at her. "This was great, thanks for… inviting me." His grin faltered. What is going on? I don't… act like this!
group
Lilah smiled back. "Thanks for joining me," she said softly. "I will meet you at your room in a few minutes."

Cameron nodded. "It was a pleasure. And, I'll see you then." His grin widened into a smile before he started to walk up a flight of steps to his room.

(I'm annoying but
you alive?)

Lilah watched after him for a moment before starting toward her own room. She eventually reached it and opened the door to walk inside.
Daisy was already there, looking through her dresses. The maid pulled out a more casual (and comfortable!) looking dress than the one the Princess already wore.
"My lady," the maid greeted her with a curtsy. "Have you come to change?"
"How did you know?" Lilah laughed. She crossed the room and looked at the maroon sweater dress. "This one looks perfect. But I need a bowl first; there are fragile berries in my pockets."

Cameron reached his room then shut the door. He wanted to take off his clothes (especially the pants, which were getting sticky), yet first, looked for his sweater and jeans. He found the light-blue sweater folded up with his worn jeans, along with a white undershirt. The sight of his clothes made him ache for home. He ignored this and promptly changed.
group
Lilah quickly placed the strawberries in a bowl Daisy had found, then changed into the sweater dress. As soon as she was done, she thanked her maid and headed through the castle to Cameron's room.

Cameron folded up the shirt and tie, then hung up the pants. Staring at them, he felt a grip of savage pleasure. Finally… I'LL BE ABLE TO GET MY OWN SUIT! He grinned, put the shirt and tie away, and sat down on the bed.
"When will Lilah be here?" He finally wondered aloud.
group
Lilah let out a breath as she walked.
Almost there. Just a bit farther.
Finally, she stopped in front of the door she believed to be his and took a deep breath. Why was she so nervous? She'd been fine while they were in the garden.
Shaking her head, she took another deep breath and knocked.

Cameron sat up quickly. "Yes?" He called tentatively. "Lilah?" He didn't want to sound too nervous of other people.
group
"Cameron, are you ready to go to the kitchen?" Lilah called trough the door.

"Oh, yeah, lemmie…" He glanced around for a suit, realized he didn't have… another suit to throw on, inhaled deeply and went over the door to open it. He opened it and nervously ran a hand through his hair.
"Let's go." He grinned a little.
group
Lilah smiled shyly and nodded her head in the direction of the kitchen. "It's this way. C'mon."
She let out a silent sigh of relief that he had changed into something more casual as well.
He looks nice in that.
What?
You know it's true.
…Hush…

Cameron smiled back warmly and the smile didn't fade as they walked. He tucked his hands into the front pocket of his sweater, glancing down at the flight of steps as they descended.
Don't want to fall like a fool again… He turned a faint red just thinking about it.
group
Lilah's cheeks were tinted pink at her thoughts. Where were they even coming from? She bit her lip as they walked on in silence.

Cameron shook his head. I'm worried about that for no reason. He raised his head as they finished walking down the steps and looked around, trying to spot the kitchens.

Lilah led him around a corner to a white door.
"Here we are. Noah makes the best desserts," she said as she opened the door.

Cameron held it as they walked in. The kitchen was hot and stifled, yet Cameron didn't mind it. He grinned around at the clean counters then looked at Lilah steadily.
"Where is he?"
group
"Noah? Has anyone seen Noah?" Lilah asked, stepping inside and looking around.
A tall man with dark hair and golden eyes stuck his head out of the giant walk-in cooler. "Is that my favorite princess I hear?" he chuckled. "Have you come to sneak more desserts?"
Lilah laughed and went over to him, embracing him for a moment as she spoke. "You know me, I just can't resist your baking!" She turned to Cameron and introduced him, "This is Prince Cameron. We were just picking strawberries, and I thought they might go well with a cheesecake…?"
The baker shook his head and smiled. "Pleasure to meet you, Your Highness," he greeted him with a slight bow. "And if you two want a cheesecake, you'll have to help me make it."

Cameron raised an eyebrow, not sure how to place this man. Sure, he was respectable enough… but was he… like… a distant childhood friend or… Cameron shook his head. I'm not jealous. Why would I be?

(I'm so sorry! I was reading and totally forgot about this…)
Lilah smiled. "Really? You know what happened last time I tried to help you with dessert," she laughed.
Noah joined in on the laughter. "This is true, this is true… I suppose there might be a cheesecake in here," he said teasingly. He disappeared back into the cooler, seemingly to search for the dessert.
Lilah turned to Cameron and set her bowl of strawberries on a stainless steel table. "So, Prince Cameron, what is your favorite dessert?"

(;u; I'm on for another hour if I'm lucky. If I ghost don't worry)
What the holy he- His thoughts were interrupted by her question. "I like… uh… pie, I guess. I haven't had a lot of sweets when I was a kid."
group
(Ah, okay.
Jealous much, Prince Cameron? ;P)
"Oh. Well, I'm sure you'll love this," Lilah assured him, her smile turning sympathetic.
The baker stepped out of the cooler with a covered dish balanced on one arm. "Found it!" he declared, placing it next to tg bowl of berries. "Are those the strawberries? Perfect. Would either – or both – of you like to help me make the topping?"

(^D^
also whenever I read "would either-or both- of you…" I imagined Cameron with like a look of, "Ya I'm here you a**" on his face and I can't stop laughing)
Cameron pulled his sleeves up and washed his hands. "Sure, that sounds fun," He more or less mumbled his response. The way Noah addressed him, child-like, even if he didn't mean it, Cameron still found irksome.
