"You heard exactly what I said, I'm not going to repeat myself," she said. Her voice wasn't nearly as aggressive as it had been with her last response, mostly because she was worried at what he would do. But she reminded herself, he had taken everything from her. She needed to fight for what she could get.

Roxy clapped her hands in excitement and whooped victoriously, pumping her fists in the air. "Yes, you go, Asteria! Show him what us ladies can do!”
Quince rolled his eyes and stared at Martino, his gaze hard. "Escort Ms. Roxanne out of the buildings premises please.” -
"Wait, no!" Asteria cried. She couldn't let him take away Roxy too. She turned back to Quince, not looking at him in the eye. "Please," she said, her voice quivering. "You've taken everything from me. Please, just let me have this." She'd never begged like this before.
-
Quince’s eyes widened in surprise. Martino shot his boss a knowing look and nodded firmly, tilting his head in the direction of the clearly distressed woman and her friend.
"Perhaps you're being too harsh on our guest, Sir Quince.” Martino’s voice was chilled and just as hard as the knowing look he gave to Quince.
Quince sighed in frustration and dragged his hand across his face, keeping the hand there for a moment before taking it off and staring Asteria right in the eyes. His expression has softened significantly, and his voice had been lowered.
"Fine, Ms. Roxanne will be allowed to accompany you in your stay here.” Quince stated, his voice sounding demanding. "However, it'd be appreciated if you would let us be aware of whenever you wish to see your friend.” -
Asteria's eyes widened and she let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been gripping onto. She'd managed to convince him. Maybe he wasn't quite such a monster.
In a lapse of judgement, she hugged him for joy of being able to have her friend over, to have at least one person in this terrible mansion she could trust. But then she suddenly realized herself and pulled away, face flushed from embarrassment.
She rushed over to Roxy and dragged her up the stairs, excited at the prospect of having her here. -
Quince's face was as equally as pink as Asteria's was, if not pinker. Martino coughed into his gloved hand in an attempt to stifle his laughter, which only earned an annoyed glare from Quince.
"You know, you should be more polite to her.”
“Carlos!” Quince and Martino both whipped their heads around to find their blonde friend leaning against the doorframe, a spatula swinging off of his fingers and his chef hat somewhat crooked.
"You both technically kidnapped her for something that was justified.” Carlos said with a small sigh, staring at the two men in disappointment. “Considering you two call yourselves mature men, it seems like you’re belittling yourself down to a small immature child.”
“Take that ridiculous insult back!” Martino snarled, staring daggers at Carlos. If looks could kill, Carlos would've been buried seven feet under by now. "Sir Quince is none of those things.”
Carlos raised a single eyebrow and stared at his co-worker. Clearly, he was judging Martino and his actions. Eventually he sighed and pushed himself off the doorframe, prepared to take a long walk back to the kitchen. “Fine by me, but just know that your actions may not go without consequences.” -
Asteria pulled Roxy into her "Disney princess bedroom" as Martino had so eloquently put it, even though there were no themes of Disney anywhere like Sleeping Beauty bedsheets, Cogsworth alarm clock and what not. The grandeur of the room was fit for a princess, though.
"If he hadn't let you stay I don't know what I would have done," she said, sitting down on the bed.
(I had a thought of what if it was Roxy x Martino and then Carlos vs Quince battling for Asteria.) -
Roxy waggled her eyebrows at Asteria leaped onto the bed fit for a princess.
“You would’ve spent a long dreary time in this stupid mansion!” Roxy said with a little sigh, dramatically clutching her chest as though she were in pain. “And then all my Roxiness would’ve been washed away.”
(OHOHO I LIKE THIS IDEA 👀👀)
(Roxy and Martino would be an interesting couple. I SUPPORT THIS SHIP 100% LET’S DO IT >:D) -
Aster chuckled. "I never realized I was the one who maintained your Roxiness," she said. She then stood up from the bed. "Come on, I'll introduce you to Carlos and Martino. "Hopefully you don't tear off Martino's head because I really think you guys just got off on the wrong foot. And hopefully Carlos doesn't hate me."
-
"Oh?” Roxy flipped onto her stomach, her legs swinging in the air as she whistled at Asteria. “Who is this Carlos fellow that you mentioned?”
-
"I told you about him yesterday, remember?" Asteria answered. "He's the cook and I had to explain my situation to him and his reaction... wasn't the best. He didn't say anything but he looked kind of angry."
-
"Maybe he was angry at Quince?” Roxy suggested.
-
"I don't know," Asteria said. "I gave him back a spoon I had accidentally stolen, maybe he was mad at me for that."
She led Roxy through the winding hallways until they reached the kitchen. She peeked her head inside, seeing a few people preparing breakfast, including Carlos, who was looking at a cookbook. Gathering her nerve, she walked inside, Roxy behind her.
"Um...Carlos?" Aster asked, waiting for him to acknowledge her. She was tense, expecting him to look up at her with a harsh glare and tell her to go away. -

It took a moment for Carlos to register in his mind that someone had called out his name, but after a couple more times he finally gasped and snapped his cookbook shut, spinning around to face Roxy and Asteria. He offered them a dorky smile, chuckling nervously as he put the cookbook on the counter.
“Hello, pretty ladies, what might you two be doing here today?” Carlos exclaimed obnoxiously, making strange hand gestures in the air and almost knocking his cookbook off of the counter along with a spatula from doing so.
“You have good taste in men,” Roxy whispered after having had put her hand over Asteria’s ear and leaning in.
