"Oh no, I can take her," Briella said, smiling softly. "Of course, I've never tucked in a child before, but it can't be that hard." She knew that it wouldn't be a bother to him, but she really did want to help, even if it was just small for now. "I'm going to bed anyway and her bed is right by mine, so it makes sense if i just take her." The princess wasn't too sure that she could carry the little girl, and probably not as well as Malakai could, but she was determined to try. She looked down at Noel to see if maybe she was still awake, but she wasn't mean enough to make the little girl walk while she was tired. Briella smiled and looked up at Malakai again. "But if you wanted to come make sure I did it right, I wouldn't be offended," she said lightly, but was being completely honest.

Malakai gave a small smile as it seemed the princess was debating how to get the child to their room. "How about I help you get her there? I am aware she is a growing girl." He picked Noel up, the child's head falling onto his shoulder. Kai was glad to help her because there was hardly a night her didn't but Noel to sleep. Maybe it was odd but he had raised her do that had something to do with. As they walked back he looked down at the princess, "I hope you are not starving. I understand it is probably difficult not to have your usual mirrors. I also pray that your stomach doesn't start to hurt or anything. Please tell me if it does because I will try and help." Kai knocked on the girl's room door. He had made the mistake of not knocking once and it ended in him getting slapped multiple times. They all yelled it was good from the other side and he walked in. "You wanna try tucking her in? It's not hard. Pull the covers back." The covers were made up sewn rags put it sufficed. Once Briella did that, he laid the girl down and pulled the covers back over. "Easy, see?"
Briella stood up when he took Noel from her, smiling softly at how adorable it was to see Noel asleep. Also, the princess was slightly surprised at how much softer Malakai seemed with the child in his arms. Following him, she listened to him as he talked. "Thank you very much. For now, I'm alright, but I'm sure that my since my stomach is unaccustomed to so little food that it will be a problem in the near future. But I'll do my best without," she promised. Once they went into the room, she did as he said and pulled the covers down for him, watching as he tucked Noel in. Briella laughed softly. "Yes, very easy. Now I know how to do it." She looked up at him again, her eyes locking onto his and her cheeks turned slightly red from remembering what Noel had asked earlier, so she looked away again, down at the sleeping child so it didn't seem odd. "Um....goodnight. I'll try to be up early in the morning."
Why were her cheeks so rosy colored? Malakai ignored it for now and kissed his sister's head then stood. "That was more of a warning to my slackers, like Damien. Please don't compromise your sleep for such a thing. We can leave at different times anyway." He stated before giving her a nod in goodnight as well as doing the same for the other women before heading to the men dorm. On his way he passed Damien so he stuck his foot out the last minute, forcing the male to hit the ground. Kai laughed as Damien grumbled. (We can skip to morning if you'd like.)
Briella changed for bed, determined to get up as early as everyone else just like she said. She knew that her body wasn't accustomed to the way they lived, but she wasn't sure that everyone else would understand. The very least she could do was try to keep up with them. But all her strength was gone the second she laid down, where she dissolved into tears, burying her face into the pillow. It wasn't that she was homesick or afraid, but everything that had been thrown on her....it all came crashing down. That night, she cried herself to sleep. ((Alright, morning it is!))
Noel sat at the end of Briella's bed. She was watching the princess sleep since Malakai said that she wasn't allowed to wake her up. It was about five in the morning and everyone was just about to head out. Her brother had gotten her up and dressed. Yet when she wanted to wake the princess he said no. So here the child was, waiting patiently. Kai walked in and saw Noel sitting at the foot of Briella's bed. "Alright Noel, come here." He whispered at the girl walked over to him. "When we are in the village you can call her Briella. The peopl don't know her face but they know the princess's name. So you can call her Bri and if some asks it is short for Brianna. I'll tell the Princess the same." He rubbed her head as she nodded. "Okay get her up and we'll head out."
((I am so sorry I didn't see this!))Briella moaned softly in her sleep, shifting in her bed as she slept. It was a restless sleep on a mattress not her own. Finally though, he rolled around to the point that she almost fell off and from that she startled awake. Her eyes were wide and she caught herself before she fell. She took a deep breath as she sat up and then saw Malakai and Noel both there. "Oh my goodness, I overslept didn't I?" she asked, getting up quickly. "I am so sorry, I'll get ready as soon as possible." She blushed, realizing that she was still wearing a nightgown.
Noel watched the girl bolt up and get ready. "Calm Briella. The others went ahead just to get some jobs before the crowd hits. The three of us are just exploring so no rush. I told you such last night." Malakai stated as he made sure Noel was ready. "Briella! Mala says your name is now Brianna!" The little girl giggled making the man shake his head. "Let me explain. Everyone is going to call you Bri but if anyone asks it stands for Brianna. The people don't have have television so they don't know the princess's face put they know your name." Malakai looked the girl up and down. She was wearing Cahira's clothes so she looked like they fit in. They'd get her some of her own clothes in the village.
Briella took a deep breath when he told her to calm down. She still felt bad that he had to wait for her because she had overslept. "Brianna?" she asked when Noel declared that her new name. She didn't understand until Malakai explained. "Oh, alright," she said. "That....will take some time to get used to, but I'll do my best to remember. Bri....okay." She looked down at herself, slightly self-conscious under his gaze. "Do I look alright?" she asked. She didn't want to stand out, and she felt so different in these clothes compared to what she used to wear. The way it hugged her, the lighter though more durable fabric coarse against her skin. But it still fit her somehow. Though she wasn't personally aware, the clothes looked good on her and hid the fact that she was a princess fairly well. Admittedly, she didn't look as rugged as a person who had lived in the real world for years on end, but otherwise she looked normal. Her beauty stood out, of course, but there were always diamonds in the rough. Hopefully, those that would cross their paths would believe her to be just that and nothing more, not look closer and not see their very own princess.
Perhaps it would be dangerous for her to be out in the village; honestly the thought hadn't occurred to her until now. Although she doubted that Malakai would allow her to be hurt when there was so much she could do for their cause, she was worried. "Wh....what happens if someone does recognize me, somehow.... What if I slip up?" she asked quietly.
((Would you like to continue this roleplay?))
