Sorry - been busy!

Bethany was approached by one of the servants as she walked through the halls. She was simply exploring, trying to work out the layout of the castle and the best ways to escape if they needed to. "Yes?" she asked as gently as she could manage. "Princess Galene would like to see you." the...

The Princess smiled slightly at Galene. It was a sincere smile. "Thank you." she stood up carefully, adjusting her clothes. "You have made me feel more welcome here than you could know, Galene. I'm grateful for you." she told her. "I hope we can become friends. I'd love to explore with you." she...

Alexandra shrugged, "Happiness has never been my concern, to be honest, but exploring has always made me happy. I love exploring. I love finding new places and seeing new things. That's why this seemed so promising." she leaned back in her chair, glancing around the room. "Do you think they will...

Alexandra listened carefully. She made mental notes of what it was that he liked - picnics, squishy cheese, and repetitive physical tasks. None of those were Alexandra's specialty, especially when he had to teach her how to use a sword better, and she had no idea where to go for a picnic. She...

"I could." Alexandra offered immediately. She gave Galene a small smile. Her hunch was that her presence was the cause for his sadness, and that he would become sadder before he would become happier. She wanted the Prince to warm to her. It would take him time, she knew. She knew that they would...

Alexandra let her thoughts drift. Galene's question conjured all sorts of memories in her mind. The restrictions of her kingdom were vast, but there was one night every season that brought the greatest freedom women could know. This was the freedom to dance. It was beautiful to see people become...

Alexandra stared down at her lap as Barrin walked away with his mother. She did not know how to recover or if she could recover. The welcome had been warm but the air around her suddenly felt cold. It was not going to be easy to adjust to this place. Freedom came with new requirements. Her...

Alexandra gulped and looked down at the table in front of her. She didn't know what to do to rescue the situation and she was certain that more words would not be the solution. The Princess gripped her knees under the table, her cheeks pale white as she felt the weight of what she had said. She...

"Common folk..." Alexandra mused quietly, more to herself than to anyone else. "I'm not sure my family would attend, sadly." she gave Naomi a small smile. "They made it clear upon my departure that they were entrusting me into your care and mercy, and that they had too much to do to travel to a...

Alexandra laughed. The chaos had relaxed her. She nodded, "good to know." She told him, then returned to a conversation that she had been part of. She was telling a story about her homeland, and one of the balls that had once occurred there. "The nobles were not pleased at all, but the children...

Alexandra stumbled slightly when Barrin pulled her, but quickly regained her composure. She sat down beside Barrin. The food was familiar to her, at least, and the conversation filling the room eased some her of own anxiety. The Princess resolved to ask less questions of the Prince, and to...

Alexandra turned bright red. She looked at the wall opposite to her and took a deep breath to try and regain her composure. "Most things are about learning and practice, Galene. In this case, my sword work and capacity to show affection are those in question. It seems I have much to learn before...

"Tea..." Alexandra mused quietly. "A tea that... Wow." She smiled and leaned against a wall. "Since we're being so forward with one another, what is it like? Kissing? And uh, other stuff? Should I be. Nervous about it? I guess I'm more worried about kissing, for some reason." The princess...

Sweet, thanks!
