It was a slow and uneventful day, as most were for Bella. Well, relativity uneventful, considering her life. Breaking into houses, stealing peoples electricity and sometimes other things as well, sucking energy from power lines, all the usual Bella stuff. Except for today; today was different. Over the last week or two, she put herself to hard work to try and fill her downstairs energy storage containers. She filled them up one fourth of the way, because giant cylinder magic infused storage units could power a small city for weeks wasn't exactly an easy task to fill; especially since she took only a little over one week to do it. She was doing all this because she actually wanted to explore the cult mansion. Bella never had the time because she was either at her house or flying around to try to collect energy.
She walked down the main hall, and saw a small door to the side. Well, to her all doors were too small, but that's besides the point.
The building was sure tall enough to fit her inside, so that was a plus. The only thing that was odd to her was all the walls being made of glass. Small insects were flying all around, but not to her, to the flowers. Everything was beautiful, and she was sure to draw it out in her sketchbook later. She's seen this building from the outside in glimpses, but being up close was something entirely new.
"What a weird choice in wall, though," Bella thought.

Before Bella knew what was happening, blue bees swarmed her. Something such as this has never happened to her before, so against better judgement, she rapidly flapped her wings to shoo them off. It worked to an extent, but they just kept coming back. A figure below her talked, and then the insects backed off. This person, a woman in a long dress with wings very different to her own, told her it was rude to walk into places without asking.
"Pfft, if your windows could open I would have come through there," Bella thought. This woman looked... royal, to day the least. The kind of woman who would yell at you for at least half an hour if you sassed her back.
"Hey... You have pretty flowers... and cool bees..." Bella said, being the horrible conversation starter she was. She hoped the woman would be not annoyed with her after that, because next time she would sass back.

Bella slowly stopped flapping her wings as the resided on her back again, her tail also settling down. She stared at the woman bee keeper as she talked to her, absorbing her appearance fully. Not only did she have strange wings, but strange eyes as well. She was definitively regal, she even had what seemed to be a tiara on. It's was kind of cute, actually.
"...My name is Bella..." she said hesitantly but with a monotone voice. It's not like she didn't like her name, it's just that she didn't care about names much. The bees were become slower in movement, and that relieved her.
"Bees are beautiful when they are engulfing you; Noted," She thought.

"Don't go into closed doors? If she only knew," Bella thought, resisting the urge to do exactly that as soon as Apis left. Apis; a strange name, but she's heard stranger.
"Yeah, I'm just wandering," She said, watching the woman put her working outfit back on. It wasn't everyday that Bella was invited into a place she already entered and wasn't being screamed or thrown things at. It was a nice change.

When Apis asked her a question that broke the silence, Bella hadn't even turned to her, instead giving her a glance when she asked.
"Like I said, I was wandering." She replied, her tone indifferent. "You know, I didn't lie when I said these flowers are stunning." She said and it was the truth. Being an artist herself, Bella did have a careful eye (or three) for colors, shapes, patters and the like. She usually didn't enjoy plants as much as she was then. Well, she'd never seen so many in one place, even in the forest.

"Oh... nice..." Bella said, mostly to just give the indication she was listening. She'd seen all the flowers, but she didn't want to leave just yet. Apis seemed interesting, so she decided to stay longer.
"So, do these bees produce honey?" She asked with genuine interest. She'd tasted honey, and she had loved it. Bella wondered if she could get to taste some more.

Bella's plan to casually ask about the honey and then get to try some worked, and she was mildly impressed by her own subtle persuasive skills. She picked up the wooded spoon and fumbled a bit considering the spoon was small in her hands and she didn't have a palm to create enough friction. She lifted the spoon up to her mouth to take a taste.
"This is delicious..." she thought as she lowered the spoon from her mouth for more, but was unsure if Apis would let her have a second taste.

Bella was slightly dissapointed that she couldn't have anymore of the blue-green honey. Apis had said that the honey wasn't as sweet as normal honey was, but Bella still wanted to taste anything sweet she had in her glass house.
Apis was resting her hands on the table so Bella figured she could do similar. She sat down on the table; any chair offered to her probably would have been too small.
"...So, why is your house made of glass?" She asked Apis. Bella knew plants needed light but she wondered why they just couldn't have lightbulbs above the plants

"Greenhouse? The house doesn't look very green to me," Bella thought. She watched the outstretched flowers under the moonlight and the little dots of bees moving around them. Through the glass walls she looked towards the moon as Apis walked around and lit lanterns. Bella looked back at Apis who was almost done lighting the greenhouse up with her lights. The light was soft and warm around both of them and gave the plant life a nice shine to it. After Apis was done, Bella found the will to ask her something.
"...Do you leave this place ever?" Bella asked.

"Oh," Bella thought as Apis came back over to where she was standing. She started filling a kettle as she talked to Bella again about how she surprisingly leaves this house. Apis had offered Bella a cup of... tea? She had seen those little bags of leaves been put into water before, but she had never tasted it.
"...Um...Sure," She said to Apis. "Maybe the tea could be sweet..." Bella thought. She looked around the small, more house-like area of the green house. "Doesn't Apis think this is too small? She isn't as big as me, but still...." She thought.

Bella watched as Apis placed the cup down while a few bees came along with it. When the bees were gone, she started to worry about her size in relationship to the table and chairs. It looked like she could sit, but it would definitely be too small for her. Bella decided to sit anyway and maneuvered her way into the chair. After some wing and tail movements, she was finally comfortable. At least, as comfortable as she was going to get. She thought about what Apis had asked her and it only took her a second to know her reply.
"...Sugar, please..." Bella said after a few moments.

The tea was a bit too warm for Bella's liking, but so sweet so she could care less about the temperature. When Apis made a joke towards her she was surprised for the most part. Very few people if any at all had been this light-heart-ed towards her in a long time.
"No, not usually," she said as she took another sip of her tea. In fact, now that she's thought about it, nobody has offered her food in a very long time either. Bella was starting to, as much as she wouldn't admit it, like this Apis character. "I also doubt you offer tea to intruders very much," she added.
((Wow I'm so sorry for waiting a very long time to reply, I didn't even know you replied))
