New Places || Cinderella & Mim

theglassslipperprincess:

Cinderella had always thought Mim to be quite stubborn when it came to anything cheerful. Not that she knew her all that well, of course. However, every time that the princess could recall herself in the woman’s presence, the memory was less than pleasant. Still, she kept hope that Mim would come around. “I suppose that is so, but not to worry. I do try to keep a parasol with me on my strolls out and about.” Cinderella reached down next to her, taking hold of her favourite sun umbrella. She popped it open and settled back into her cozy spot on the bench. “There, much better.” She commented aloud.

“Oh, well, I certainly would, but I’m afraid this isn’t my home. I was only waiting for the owner to arrive back.” If she were being entirely honest, for a moment she thought Mim might have resided here. However, she had answered Cinderella’s question without her having to ask. “I suspect they shouldn’t be long.” Dinner was quickly approaching and the princess figured that whomever owned the cottage would be arriving back in time to prepare it.

Mim frowned at this news. She thought for a moment that she was picking on her or lying but the old hag shook the thought away. There was no way that Cinderella was so smart she concluded.“Oh? So where do you live? Do you actually have a place to sleep at night, Dearie?” she asked in a tone dripping with false concern. The madame tended to lay on her acting thickly ,so much that she was surprised with how many usually were fooled. 

The Madame was confused by Cindi holding a umbrella with her when it was not raining. She was irritated by the tinge of gratefulness that she felt as the sun was blocked. Mim hated these happy feelings. 

Have you ever gotten the feeling you secretly annoy Rpers?

“Things? You’re just a nanny. Is the child in your care out holding up the bank for a hay penny?” Mim chuckled. She could tell the other woman was tired of playing now. 

Mary rolled her eyes. “I do have other things to do with my life than take care of the children. And that was ONE time, and it was tuppence, I’ll have you know. Dreadful things do happen when they do things without me…”

“Hrm. Oh yes. Your wards need you to protect them from the things that go bump in the night?” Mim breathed with a giggle. She wondered if following Mary to the children would be a good idea.

“Things that go ‘bump’ in the night are nothing to worry about,” she said, and then realized she was still there talking when she’d meant to leave. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I really must be going.”

“Oh, of course. Be sure to get to those poor little brats quickly.” Mim said,plotting to follow her. It would be boring to leave her alone. 

“You’re so innocent.”
