Owen half-turned away from the mirthful queen to spit a few more times to ensure all the little bits of fuzz had been expelled from his mouth. When he turned back to her she was demonstrating her peeling technique and seemed all too amused at his misfortune.
He pursed his lips as he stared curiously at the bright green fruit in her hand which had revealed from beneath the brown skin that she had pared away. “I’ll give it a try.” He produced a dagger from his own boot and attempted to mimic the work the queen had done with her fruit. His own efforts wasted more of the fruit, but he found it easy to shed the skin of the fruit.
Using his knife he sliced of a section of kiwi and frowned at it before taking it from the knife with his mouth. He chewed slowly, frowning still, until his face softened and he nodded his approval.
“It’s sweeter this way.” He observed. “Much nicer.” Owen glared down at the small fruit in his hand which had almost been entirely consumed with just a couple of bites. “It’s rather small though.” He remarked as he turned to continue their walk and continue removing skin from the fruit in his hand.
“Everything seems smaller here in Veridian. The women especially. You are all rather...petite.” He looked down at the short queen as if to emphasize his point. He left the commentary at that and didn’t reveal his preference for the small, tanned women of Veridian whose features he found both curious and alluring.
Maeve moved away from him to wash her hands in the other room, so Holland took the time to reseal the serum and replace it in his chest. He discarded the soiled handkerchief in a place the linen maid would easily find. No sooner was he returning to his desk than something akin to a squeal sounded from the other room.
He realized his mistake and jumped up from the chair his bottom had not quite met to rush to Maeve’s side.
“I see you’ve met Kenna.” He said as he sidled past Maeve to hold his hand out to the tiger lounging on his bed. “The Emperor’s favorite pet.” The animal sniffed at Holland's hand and turned her face away. Something like a snort sounded from the animal’s nose and her head lowered to her paws folded in front of her. She glowered back at the pair as if deciding whether to let them live or die.
“Lord Hartwydt charged me with … caring for her while here in Veridian as his attentions will be elsewhere.”
The tiger lifted it’s head enough to lick at one of its large paws. The appendage turned over for her tongue to work at the pads of her paw, long, sharp claws splayed out in her efforts. Or display.
“She’s quite friendly, I assure you.” Holland promised.
