She lowered her head, taking the bags
"Y-Yes stepmother-"
S2 wasted no time in piling her bags onto Elle
S2: "And be careful with these!! I don't want to find your grimy fingerprints all over my silks!"
"Good, now come along, (does she call them like, "come sisters", I honestly forget. I'll just go with that-), Sisters-We have little time left!"
SM snapped her fingers, of course-Wasting none of her time to pull along S1 and S2. She seemed rather impatient today, more than she usually is.. "is" something important happening today?.. No, No maybe she's just antsy for what's soon to come. Everyone is actually, well-Aside from Elle herself. I mean let's just be honest, anyone sensible, wouldn't start freaking out over something, they, really don't care about.
She followed along behind them, encumbered by all the bags and packages, she could keep up with their fast pace. She watched helplessly as they crossed a street, on the verge of losing them-she carelessly went to cross, not paying much attention and-came maybe an inch away from being trampled under the hooves and wheels of a horse-drawn carriage, stumbling back as all of the goods tumbled out of her arms and onto the street.
"HF-"
Of course, that said-carriage just had to have some old man who cursed at her as he rode off. Looovely, someone who wasn't paying attention to where they were riding starts cursing at someone who literally could barely see a feet infront of them. But regardless of who that guy was, as she began to pick up what fell out of the bags, (and the bags themselves-), when she tried reaching for a small-box, someone else then grabbed it. "Huh?", is probably what could've gone threw her mind, but when she did look up, well-Who else could it be expect for the same, mysterious man?... He seemed a lot nicer up close, not in some flustering way, just-Actually Nice. He looked up at her with a bit of black-look, before a small, "maybe" genuine smile formed on his face?.. It was honestly quite hard to tell if it was genuine or not, but still-He was helping pick them up, so why complain?.....oh yeah and he was speaking- :P
".. I guess someone had a little fall, you alright there?.. Looked like you got your foot ran over, or, maybe it was just the bags landing on you.. Still, are you hurt?"
".. It's merely common courtesy, Madam."
And from that point, as they started picking up the rest of the bags-He.. didn't really say much else. Now, I'm just spit-balling here-But did he just call her "Madam", Not a lot of people just call her by something like that. As a matter of fact, that's, not something she's really ever been called. Perhaps he was really just being a nice person, trying to help someone who-Seemed like they were having a rough go in town. But-...Oh whatever, he was being nice. He was carrying the items he picked up, nothing much other than that-
".. Well, Yeah-?.. Am, I not supposed to call you that?.. Oh dear-, Did-Did I offend you in some way, I'm sorry miss, I-I didn't-"
Awww, Shoto bean thinks he's done something wrong when he was being formalll-.....Wait a minute-NO WAIT-, NOOO-HE THINKS HE DID SOMETHING WRONG!!......Ima stop being like Nat when she sees Kerem-ANYWAYS, Point being-He was now holding...Mmmmm, about a little more than 50% of the bags in his hands, his eyes lowered slightly as he spoke a tad bit frantically. Of course, he didn't have a seriously SAD look, just-A bit nervous. :)
"N-No, no no-.. -sigh-.. I'm sorry-, I know we both just said it already-but, really-I'm not really used to not calling someone that, or in any other way. I'm usually always expected to greet one, or end a conversation with, "madam", or, "sir". Y-You know what I mean-"
well, at least he was a little bit calmer-
