Alex followed her. "At least now we can talk about other things while we play."

"Wow, it's so pretty. Did you do all this yourself?" A voice asked from behind Vlad. Isobel had always loved flowers. Even though the garden had fallen from it's former beauty, she still enjoyed coming up here from time to time. Its ruined state was great in and of itself, in its own way. Just because it was no longer beautiful didn't mean it didn't still have some charm left in it.
It was a rather fitting metaphor for Isobel herself, if you thought about it. While she'd never exactly been beautiful, she'd once been pretty in an innocent sort of way, with straight black hair, porcelain skin and a kind smile. That kind smile was gone now, and her once sparkling eyes were hard and spoke of suffering she'd seen... suffering she'd enjoyed. There were many large, shiny burns on her arms in different stages of healing that spoke of suffering she'd endured. She had probably been graceful once, but now she walked with a slight limp from some long-forgotten battle wound. Her rose-pink sleeveless dress and white shoes were relics of that more innocent time.
"Are you one of the servants? I don't believe I've seen you around before..."

It took Jeanne five whole minutes to get down stairs that probably only took Alex moments, but still she smiled and nodded. "Right"
Vladimir jumped slightly, but looked to the ground and nodded as he pruned a bit more and finished up by watering all the roses and whispering something in Asterian (his native language, it sounds a lot like Romanian mixed with a tiniest hint of German)

"Hm... Well you're a good gardener.It's nice to see someone taking care of this place again." She said simply, looking way from him and smelling the flowers. "I'm Viceroy Isobel." She added without looking his way.

Vladimir merely nodded again, continuing to whisper things to the roses.

Isobel glared at him. "Fine then. Don't talk to me." She left.

Vladimir looked up and said in a soft voice,
"I am sorry... I did not mean to offend you..."
But when she did not answer he tried to follow and repeat his apology.

Isobel gave an annoyed sigh and did not answer.

Vladimir sighed softly, guessing she had heard, and added, "...I am grateful for your liking of my work to helping roses. I am glad you like."
He flinched slightly, fearing backlash for speaking without having first been spoken to.

Isobel looked at him. "I think you'll find as you work here that kindness from me is exceedingly rare. I see no reason to waste it on those who consider it cheap." She turned away again. "I'd advise you not to cross me. If you want to be babied you can bug Viceroy Rick." she walked off.

Vladimir, while being extremely grateful she hadn't hit him, was still upset and worried that he had hurt her feelings. So, trying to think of what his brother did when a girl got mad, he clipped a few roses, tied them up with a note saying "I sorry" and tried to find someone to give them to her from him.
He prayed this would not be take badly.

When Isobel received the roses and realized whom they were from she burst out laughing. "Stupid servant." She muttered to herself, and tossed them in the trash bin in her room.

Vladimir meanwhile went back to his gardening, feeling that at least he had tried to fix what he had done, and he could not do any more without bordering on treasonous.

As Isobel was walking down, Adam rounded a corner and ran smack into her. It was easy for those who knew the twins to tell them apart, despite them being nearly completely identical. They dressed in almost opposite. Adam wore plain clothes, the kind he could walk around in and not be noticed except for his looking like the Supreme Lord while Kenny dressed to impress, even when he was in his own room. The only physical difference was a a small scar on Kenny's left cheek. It wasn't even something you would notice unless you were looking for it, but Adam was glad for it nevertheless.

Isobel glowered, and was gonna let the idiot who hither have it until she realized who it was. "Watch where you're going, Adam." She snapped instead.
