Lucette could feel a small sliver of smugness creep in when she the clockwork took on its stiff stance, glad she got a physical reaction out of it. She only rolled her eyes when it called her a child as if it were an insult. As if she hadn’t heard that one ten times a day.
“Why yes, I am at the younger stage of a human’s life cycle, thank you for noticing.” She sassed in a syrup sweet tone. She raised a single eyebrow when the clockwork asked her what she was doing, a rude reply already on the tip of her tongue when the voice advised her that it would be better and quicker to just tell the clockwork so it could leave and she be left alone. In peace.
“I am going to my gardens to relax. By the order of my Uncle.” She answered with a heavy sigh, the fire in her chest burning slightly hotter than usual. She might have to cause a few controlled fires in order to settle the magic down. Or else...well, let’s say the next she gets annoyed, the palace might be a bit blacker.

Talia had just returned from a trip with Rooke. Kane described it as assigned missions. She knew she was just a babysitter at this point. She was ignorantly walking without looking where she was going, her focus is on her notes she had taken about her trip.
She didn’t react much when she bumped into poor Lucette in the halls of the main castle, knocking her over.
Talia moved her notes down to look down at the princess. She really hasn’t seen Lucette much apart from being stuck with her a few times in the same meetings and didn’t really care to see more of her anyway.
She was like that with everyone.
She lifted her hat and placed her notes under it before placing it back on.
“Watch where you’re going, Princess.”
Lucette’s jaw tightened as she let out a long stream of Valencian curses in her mind. Just when she thought she could find some! Is the Spiral just set against her? Reigning in her mental tantrum, she focused her attention on the clockwork now next to her and let out a sigh, her shoulders drooping. Her lips did twitch a bit when the clockwork said that she was not boring like the others. She will admit, she is curious about this particular clockwork. And clockworks, when they have decided on something, do not let it go.
“Very well. As long as you keep the talk to a minimum. I was commanded to relax and that is what I shall do. Let us be on our way.” She commanded, continuing her stroll towards the gardens in the center of the palace. The change that overcame her when she stepped onto the soft grass was relieving, a soft sigh of contentment leaving her lips as she made her way over to her favorite spot. A large patch of grass surrounded by large bushes of various carnations, a little bit of an opening allowing her to walk in without trampling her flowers. Sitting down in the middle, she gave a pointed look at the clockwork and gestured towards the spot a couple inches in front of her in invitation.

Lucette only rose a single black eyebrow when she heard the clockwork’s words, becoming intrigued when it pulled out a rusty gear brooch. Is this clockwork afraid of...death? And replacement? While it does make sense for the replacement part, fearing death is a living being trait. Clockworks weren’t supposed to be fearful of death.
“Yes, everything will eventually die and be replaced. That is inevitable. But, nature will always continue and always has a way to make new and better life from the remains of the old. A fallen tree will be a home to little nervous critters and their children. A forest fire, sad and terrifying as it is, will wipe the slate clean and give sufficient nutrients and space for the new forest to begin stronger and more beautiful. Humans came from nature and even though we try to separate ourselves form it, will return to nature in the end. We must decided if we want to go kick and screaming, shivering and weeping, or happily and peacefully.
Clockworks have a bit of an advantage over us. You will be okay and will live for many many years as long as you take care of yourselves. There are ways to clean off rusted gears, ways to replace broken wires, and ways to re-upload memories and consciousness. Us living beings don’t quite have that...yet. So yes, these plants will die and be replaced but not always by me. It will be by themselves. Just like how the eventual children I will have will replace me and hopefully be better than me. That is why this garden is so beautiful.” She explained, softly plucking a yellow carnation and stroking its soft petals gently.

Lucette nodded her head in slight agreement with the clockworks’s words. The pirate has been becoming more and more of problem each day, taking out clockworks by the day. It was concerning and worried her, that one of her family members would be next to fall under the pirate’s blade. It doesn’t help that Adrian, that annoying little rat, had teamed up with them, meaning that Edward will be with them. That idiotic, gnat-minded, naive fool!
“It is quite annoying that Rooke, the Grand Marshall, cannot detain the poor confused child. Adrian, I can understand since he is like a snake and can’t do anything except sneak around but a child? It’s irritating and I’m worried for him. Uncle is reaching the end of his patience with Rooke and, due to the fact that you are more or less in charge of watching him, with you as well.” She explained, picking out more flowers to weave into a flower crown to give her fingers something to do. Her brows furrowed in confusion when the clockwork told her about a tale of a broken clockwork.
“I assure you that the tale is false. I have been around for all the clockworks being produced and have never heard of a clockwork that used to have Snowwhite’s ability and purpose being broken and never replaced. Not only would that be incredibly wasteful which annoys Uncle, but is also very dangerous. Imagine what would happen if the pirate found that clockwork. They could reprogram it and turn it against us or retrieve information!” Lucette’s voice rose a bit at the idea of a clockwork turning against them. It was terrifying and a possibility.

The young Valencian only gave the clockwork a pointed flat stare of mild annoyance.
“Did you see the actual tale itself or something that reminds you of it? And how are you certain that you will not be forgotten?” She asked in her royal tone used in meetings or at Court. She tilted her head in curiosity when the clockwork started scribbling something on the notepad. She had noticed it earlier but never commented on it out of concern of more important things.
“And may I ask why you carry that around and under your hat of all places?”

Lucette struggled to hold back the wide grin that would have no doubt split her face in half when the clockwork talked about how long it has been around and how it has seen more than she could imagine. If only the poor thing knew what she had hidden under these pitch black curls. But Uncle told her not to even whisper of it to anyone, clockwork or no, so she shall stay quiet. Play the part of the dutiful niece and keep her secrets. For now.
“I see. Interesting. You seem to have quite a...content relationship with the Grand Marshall.” She said, stating a mere observation. If her voice sounded serpent-like, well that’s only her imagination, after all.

Talia made a motion with her head, clearly an eyeroll if she had eyes.
She stood up and walked over to a red and yellow flower and squatted down to it, staring at it.
“I’ve been around longer than you could ever imagine. I was a last minute adjustment to a simple record keeping bot.”
Talia sat down on the ground, crossinf her legs.
“I’ve seen far much and been apart of far much more than you could imagine. Far much more than any stormy any wrinkle on a old dog’s face could tell.”
Talia looked back to Lucette.
“Oh. And bots don’t have pockets. Usually.”
She paused again.
“…and Rooke taught me to.”
“Hahaha, for a clockwork that has lived longer than I, you are quite easy to rile. You jump to conclusions faster than you apologize. Think, you stumbling genius. You are a clockwork, why would I accuse you of an affair? That is quite a reach.” Lucette laughed, not in the least intimidated by the clockwork.
“But do go ahead and make me take back my words that you misinterpreted, darling clockwork. I will warn you though, I do not think Uncle will appreciate both of us disobeying his orders and I will not back down until you are neutralized or terminated. After all, you did threaten me. It is only common sense to defend myself.” She warned seriously, glaring venomously at the clockwork that towered over her. She was not afraid to melt the machine in its place if she had to but Uncle would be disappointed with her if that was her immediate action.

When the clockwork reached her hand into her shirt, Lucette immediately reacted, jumping up and going into battle position. The ever burning flame that appeared in her chest that fateful day burning hotter when, as if sensing her adrenaline and preparing itself for battle. She stood there, glaring darkly at the clockwork, raising a single eyebrow when the clockwork froze for a second and sat down on its knees. Once the clockwork spoke, she rolled her eyes and sat back down, picking back up her discarded flower crown.
“You only decided because you lacked your main weapon, do not even try to lie to me. But I will ignore your unneeded outburst and attempt to relax.” Lucette huffed, leaning back into a bush and closing her eyes, her fingers smoothly weaving the flowers as if she had done it all her life. Which she has. Her eye twitched when she heard the clockwork mumble but decided to ignore it.
