Edarial is nine, and he's avoiding his mother again.
Exploring the palace gets old after a while, but the library's even worse, and he suspects that if he spent any more time in his room, he'd scream. So, exploring the palace it is. Berathyme's with him, anyway, so the palace won't be so boring. She tends to make observations he didn't notice himself, and that's always interesting, if not always useful. Corridor, corridor, guest rooms, oh yes that is the closet with all of the uncomfortably looking coats, he'd forgotten about that one. Berathyme observes that they've been used relatively recently, some poor souls must have suffered - and then he opens a door and there's something he doesn't recognize.
He stares at the bar in confusion, consults briefly with Berathyme, and then wanders in.
What exactly is going on here?

Zevros is the source of the rose petals. He waves.
(C'mon, this is not difficult.)

He locks eyes with his brother.
Zevros throws rose petals slightly more aggressively. Not until you fucking kiss he's not.

Zevros raises an eyebrow. He holds up a handful of rose petals. And then he throws them.
That. That is what he is doing. Throwing goddamn rose petals for you ungrateful bastards, kiss damn you!

Shell Bell examines her rose petal. Then she drops it.
She takes a tentative step in Edarial's direction.

"I will throw this goddamn basket of fucking rose petals at your head, you socially inept prick!"

Edarial - looks at Shell Bell.
"... Go away!" he tells Zevros. That is a - contemplative look. That is a look that is not 'no I will not kiss the girl' but 'I probably will kiss her when my brother is gone.'

"Fine! But if you are not fucking kissing I will castrate you to have some fucking mercy on that poor neglected dick of yours!"
And then Zevros throws one more handful of rose petals, dumps the rest right on Edarial's head, and then leaves without another word.

Edarial giggles a bit.
"Thank you. The rose petals were a bit much," he snorts.

Eventually she's got them all.
She tries the door again, then looks puzzled when it won't open.
"What does he want?"

Edarial has no idea how to explain that. So he steps a bit closer, looking a bit shy.

He's very close, now. She's quite a bit shorter than he is, but if he leans down and gently tilts her head up....
Kiss? If she wants?
Kiss? If she wants?

Kiss.
Just a little one, and then she softly amends her prior question:
"What do you want? Without Zevros, and this door?"
