A Fresh Start

Rebel watched Ember with some amusement she went to take her first sip of wine. It obviously hit her a bit harder than it had her, the bite of the alcohol making her recoil and shudder slightly, but she managed a mouthful and eventually seemed to have the same sort of assessment that Rebel had of the flavor. "See? I told you," she replied with a chuckle when Ember said that it wasn't as bad as she thought. She watched as Ember put the cork back into the top of the bottle and then held out her paw for Ember to hand it back to her. She lifted it half way toward the shelf before she stopped, an idea coming to her mind. She had already pushed Ember out of her comfort zone today, but the rebellious side of her couldn't help but want to push the envelope even further. Pushing Ember's buttons was really fun and her attempts to be casual and nonchalant despite her unfamiliarity with breaking the rules was adorable.

"You know..." she began, keeping a hold on the wine as she turned back toward Ember instead. "If there's somewhere in the castle that we could hide out where your parents wouldn't find us we could enjoy some more of this," she suggested with a wicked grin. "After all, how can you really know what drinking wine is like from just one sip?" She tried to gage Ember's reaction to her suggestion, smirking as she turned back toward the shelf as she added, "Ah, who am I kidding, a princess like you wouldn't want to break the rules that hard. I mean, what would your dad say if he found out?" The fact that Ember hated when she called her princess only made her want to call her that more.
