You ask the little ones to prepare tea again. They look at you with admiration for your ability to forgive them, so they scurry off with the plate and cups. While they are gone, you turn to Bubu and ask him to pretend as if you were a real princess. With a dumb look, he blinked a few times before nodding and saying "Okay."
The little ones return, this time with a few live snails they found, considered a treat among your kind even if (You) might be repulsed by it. The "tea" now had some petals they picked from a flower. Bubu picked up his teacup and sipped from it.
"Thank you for the tea, Princess," Bubu said.
The little ones beam with joy, and you continued playing tea host the right way. The session ended when Bubu thanked you for accompanying him on his Youthful Journey, the little ones delighting in their princess being humble enough to join such a lowly commoner such as Bubu, and you allowed him to have all the snails he wanted. Moochy came by to sniff the snails but was turned away by them until Bubu started slurping them and offering some to Moochy. Moochy tried but scurried off after licking part of the snail.
You all continued to play Tea Host, rotating between roles. It was apparent that Bubu only did the role of a servant well, although he was once scolded by a little one for his too-familiar behavior toward her guest; you. At the end of the day, the village bell rang to summon all villagers and guests to the grove where you all partook in the community meal. Kari returned with the so-called sacred pinecone with a cadre of little ones following behind her calling her their boss.
At the community dinner, the little ones you played with fought over who got to sit next to you. They were too much for you to handle, but thankfully their pappy stepped in to remind them to enjoy their meals together and that they could take turns sitting next to you since you were staying at their home. So they complained at their pappy for treating you so casually. You're a princess, and their home is not befitting of one!
Such sassy little ones! You respond with...
>Scold them for disrespecting their elder, their wisdom is beyond any kind of status, even a princess's. Pappy built that house for them (as in the case of most Youthies' elders) and they should take pride in it.
>Playfully side with them and that you should find some other place to stay. (goading them to beg you to stay at their place.)
>Tell them you live in a small house with your pappy and baba too so it shouldn't be a problem. (you're still actually a princess of course!)
>Confess you're not a princess.
>Write-in.
