[ is currently residing in his room, busily stitching up what seems to be one of robert's torn cloaks. the maids had pleaded earlier to allow them to do it for him, yet he was persistent to do it himself. after all, it was the least he could do for him, considering the events that had come to pass between them as of late.

the thought prompts him to stop and press the material against his lips, a silent symbol of his affection. he doesn't linger, however, quickly going back to work while humming some unknown tune to balance out the silence of the early afternoon. ]

Sometimes, yes.

[ does not react immediately, getting briefly lost in thought. ]

What of the town libraries?

[ equally does not speak instantly, constructing his words carefully. ]

I am not too fond of stepping outside the castle doors. I am afraid I have never wandered those streets.

A pity. I find their selection to be more variable than those of the castle's.

Perhaps. I cannot argue due to my lack of knowledge of those libraries.

You are not the slightest bit curious?

I am content with what I have, though I do enjoy knowing that my people have access to a variety of books.

. . . your people, who you've never met?

[ looks surprised, blinking. ]

I have met them on several occasions. I just have yet to personally see their town.

Then please allow me to give you a tour sometime in the future.

... that is a most gracious offer. I will be wise to remember it.

You would flatter me by doing so. I do enjoy getting to know my employers in detail.

Mm. Perhaps it would be wise, if you are to be my guard for an extensive period of time.

That is, if you would have me for so long.

I do not see a reason why I would not.

Your brother will be pleased.

[ looks downward again, lips twitching up into a soft smile. ]

... yes, he will be.

[ rolls her eyes toward the sky with a soft, considering smile. ]

. . . heh.

[ glances at her, deciding not to question the noise. mentally juggles between things he could say, settling on: ]

Are you certain you are willing to stay at my side? I am afraid nothing thrilling or exciting happens within these walls.

[ raises an eyebrow, looking amused. ]

Your worry is misplaced. It's not for excitement that I accepted this job, princess.

Yes, I understand that, but...

[ trails off, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear to keep his hands busy. ]

But?

[ just shakes his head, dismissing it. ]

Hm? Is it something that you cannot speak in the open?

It is simply something I wish not to voice. Disregard it.
