Indulgence "Hehe." "By Grisselda, someone is going to have quite the time cleaning up after you." Pale eyes made all the more intense by the over abundance of chocolate smearing the angelic face, blinked innocently at her. Tiny hands smeared the mess into the carpet with all the concentration of a master artist applying the finishing touches to a masterpiece. Had she not witnessed the mess she would not have believed three boxes of the finest Belgian confection could be smeared so thoroughly over such a large area by such a small body. "Heh!" Stephen reached for a fourth, thus far untouched, box. "Not on your life! Oh, that is disgusting, but you are adorable!" She was not going to touch the little urchin, not unless his life was threatened, but something had to be done before the escape artist took it into his head to further expand his horizons. It was just so adorable to find him sitting amidst the mess that she just had to share. The Grisselda herself would want to see; the canny old woman would treasure the memory, so she worked her way through the litter to reach the com. "I have located His Highness, Madame, and I believe you might appreciate the view before I summon the nursery staff." "Show me, Celine." Angling the com's camera carefully the woman obliged, panning across the scene with deliberate slowness. A short, sharp cackle escaped the old woman and Celine grinned. She had thought the old lady would appreciate the child's artistry, after all she did not have to clean up the mess. ————————- "Butterworth will be livid." The Dowager Duchess Anastasia cackled. "That woman can't take a day off without disaster visiting the nursery. I want recorded footage and stills before you reveal you have located him. Milliardo will enjoy his son's exploits." "Yes, Ma'am." "I will have an agent meet you with a vidcam in a few minutes. See he comes to no harm but do try to ensure he does not, somehow, miraculously clean himself up in the meantime." She had her own private album on the Peacecraft children and this son of the line was going to fit wonderfully in amidst the family's past exploits. At least Stephen would not appear in the album draped in blood and mud as his father unfortunately had. It was wonderful to see the child had inherited his sire's sense of adventure… and sweet tooth. Oh yes, Milliardo would laugh, though Helen Butterworth would not and was sure to rip into the negligent nursery staff on her return to the palace. //And I just may assist her into throwing a scare into the silly girls. Children can be slippery little eels, I know that well enough from past experience, but in a Royal Nursery it simply should not happen that the Prince escape unnoticed.// Savouring a sweetmeat from the tray at her elbow the old woman indulged herself in a predatory smirk. ~ * ~ |
