ROLEPLAY HQ - lady-knight

Eve Klein BOT 10-Dec-21 03:07 AM

The sound of a trumpet blared throughout a lively square full of commoners as a procession of knights and squires made their way to the castle. The clapping of horse hooves, cheers from an overly eager crowd. There was something different about today's celebration and anyone could feel the hum of energy in the air. A small child on the shoulder of her father pointed to a pale figure marching ahead of the knights. “Da, whys there a woman?” The little boy stared as the woman halted and the men behind her stopped. “Shh son, if ye know what’s good ger ya. Just watch, tis history in the makin!” The boy's mother shushed him and swatted at his leg. The father grunted but otherwise didn’t respond. It seemed that this woman in particular was the subject of a lot of discussion, it’s all anyone could talk about on today's knighting ceremony. Some were discussing her achievements, others discussing her looks and stature. By looking at her no one could tell she was thoroughly irritated. *Today is supposed to be a celebration, but what is the most discussed? Is it my undefeated record on sword fighting, my recommendation for knighthood by the king himself; No, of course it’s not. * Eve held back a scoff as the royal family made their appearance. Her father had prepped her for this day and she needed to hold in her temper the best she could. Being one of the king's advisors her father had high standing and Eve was thankful that he put in a good word with the king; but it was her merit that got her here today, nothing else. She’d had to prove herself twice as hard as any of the other knights here today to earn her spot because she was a woman but thankfully the king really valued her integrity and valor that he had witnessed when she helped defend the princess and queen from a bandit raid while returning from a visit from a neighboring kingdom.

The royal family finally made their appearance with the sound of fanfare. The whole ceremony and knighting went by in a blur and before Eve knew it, she was standing in the king’s private chamber. “Eve Klein. We have summoned you for a very important reason...” The king motioned with his hand and a servant departed quietly. “My son has recently lost his knight in an unfortunate event and We have been troubled as to who should replace him.” Eve didn’t like where this was headed, she had hoped for another position, not one of such import and with the pompous prince to boot. She bit her tongue and let the king ramble on about duty, and his beloved son until the doors swung open. Speak of the devil and he shall appear...

Laurent sighed softly as heard all the noise from the other room, he didn't exactly understand why he needed protection he could very well handle himself. Fed up with all of the noise he walked into the room and sighed as he looked at the woman infront of him. "Your serious? A female knight to protect me? Father I think you have hit your head on something. I do not accept...Nor do I want the help." Laurent then turned from the room and sighed again as he started walking back down the hall and up the stairs to his chamber, along the way the constant attention was getting to him slightly. He knew his father would be angry at him for walking out, but he knew sooner or later that the knight would find her self in his room. "This is going to be a long night.." Was all that could be heard as he closed the door to his chamber's with a solid thud, flopping down on his bed and staring out at the window, waiting until the perfect time to sneak out and roam around the town like he usually did. A sigh left his lip's as he found a ball on his side table, he laid down on his bed and started to toss the ball into the air and catch it bored out of his skull, he tapped his chin and thought of having a companion for awhile to pass the time. He went to his bedroom door and opened it but stood still in his tracks.

Eve Klein BOT 13-Dec-21 12:26 PM

Eve watched as the prince stormed in, she wasn't surprised he was upset but the refusal still stung. Cool blue eyes watched as he departed and Eve failed to realize she had been biting her tongue very hard. Her eyes went back to the King, her hands clasped tightly behind her back. She held her breath until the king cleared his throat. "Please excuse my son, I am sure he is very upset about losing his knight..." The king stroked his beard in thought as he leaned back in his chair. Eve really doubted that was the problem, he may have feelings about losing a night, but it was more likely the fact that Eve was a woman and the prince likely didn't see her value. The king let out a sigh. "I know that our families have always been close, with your father being my advisor..." His dark eyes were staring through Eve's soul and felt uncomfortable. "I have faith you'll do your job well.. Please just give Laurent some time to adjust." He waved a hand in dismissal and Eve bowed before exiting the room. The options of where the prince had gone were not many and with the process of elimination of the time of day Eve headed toward the prince's room, her hand on the hilt of her sword as she walked. "It's not like I wanted to be assigned on pompous ass duty." Shebwas rambling under her breath as she arrived at his doors. They had just swung open and she was met face to face with Laurent. Several emotions passed over Eve's face but quickly disappeared only leaving behind a cool expression. "Prince Laurent." She slightly bowed, her eyes staring at him as she did so. When she stood back upright she moved to the side. "Where are we headed this evening?"

Laurent BOT 13-Dec-21 12:38 PM

Laurent rolled his eyes as he watched the emotions roll over the woman's face, a sigh left his lips as he looked at her again, his hand now on his hip as he leaned against the door frame of his room. "I am going out for the night, You can go somewhere and do whatever you want...Like go bake a pie or such." He turned and headed back into his room as he sighed opening his closed and started pulling out not so formal cloth's. He laid them out on his bed and he picked out a pair of black boots to match his cloths. His eyes turned upwards as he looked at her he then grinned as he looked at her. "Going to just stand there and watch are you?" His voice was that of a slight joke but was very serious, he rolled his eyes and shrugged as he removed his shirt and placed on another one, he removed his pants and put on what we would now called blue jeans, he then slid on his boots, he kept his ring on and started heading to the door once more as he looked at her still standing in the doorway. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way..I will be going out tonight, and there isn't much your going to do to be able to stop me." He said with a smirk as he started to walk past her, as he moved past her he started down the hallway but quickly took a left turn and made his way down a unlit pathway and then out of a side corridor door, and then he sniffed the outside air as he started walking into the town.

Eve Klein BOT 14-Dec-21 04:20 AM

Eve rolled her eyes as she watched the prince leave. If the man thought he would lose her that quickly then he had another thing coming. The thing was, the king had been right; their families had always been close and while the two themselves never had been, the same could not be said about his sister and Eve. Straightening herself and fixing her shirt she sighed, shut the door to the prince’s room and went down to where his sister’s room was. Eve had been here many times that it was almost like a second home, she lightly knocked on the door and waited until her lady in waiting came to open the door. “Ms. Eve, to what do we owe the pleasure?” She opened the door wide enough for her to enter and Eve accepted the invitation. Once inside her blue eyes looked until they landed on the princess. “Princess Ophelia, sorry to intrude.” She bowed as was custom and then righted herself. The princess, almost a spitting image of her mother came running over excitedly to Eve and clasped her hands. “Oh you, no need to apologize! I head father assigned you to my brother...I know it isn’t what you wanted but, please take care of him.” She squeezed Eve’s hands tightly before unclasping them. “Speaking of, why are you not with him right now?” The princess went back to sitting at her tea table and offered a chair to Eve, but she shook her head and declined. “I need to figure out where he ran off to...Prince Laurent didn’t take your father’s order very well and has run off...” Ophelia shook her head as she took a sip of tea. “Well, that’s easy, I know where his go to places are.” She turned to her lady in waiting, “Please get me pen and paper.” There was a shuffle as the girl went through a desk and procured what was requested. With a swift hand the princess wrote a couple of places down. Eve glanced at the list, most of them seemed to be pubs which Eve guessed wasn’t that surprising. Eve bowed again and thanked the princess before heading out on her hunt for the prince.

Laurent BOT 14-Dec-21 04:39 AM

Laurent sighed as he made his way through the grounds, breathing the fresh night air, as he made a right and headed into his chosen pub named "The Drunken Moon." He seated himself at a table, and was soon surrounded by people that he has made friends with that he knows his father would approve of. That honestly made him want to do this even more. "Bout time your royal ass decided to show up!" *Said a shorter slender man, who threw his arm around Laurent and smiled wide. "Yes yes Locke I am here, now the real fun can begin." Laurent said as he laughed back and forth with Locke, They both laughed and carried on for what seemed like for hour's, until Laurent's eyes caught ahold of the bar made Jillian, and he made his way over to her, casually making small talk, He used his "status" Of prince to make alot of his moves for him. "Come now Jillian im sure that you would have a wonderful time with me, if you would just meet me at the inn when you get off work, I know you wont be disappointed." Laurent said as he flashed his killer playboy smile. Locke laughed as he watched Laurent put on his charm and talk the talk, Locke shook his head and ordered another round of Ale for them both as Laurent made his way back to sit down. "Well seems you have your plans for the night then don't ya Laurent?" Locke said with a laugh and grin as Laurent sighed but then smiled and nodded as he took a sip from his cup. The "Lady Knight." far from his mind at the moment.

Eve Klein BOT 14-Dec-21 04:58 AM

Eve had been to three of the four pubs and she was growing more and more irritated with each one. If it wasn't the men hitting on her, it was the women giving her judgmental looks at her knight uniform. There was one more stop on the list in search of the prince and if the gods help him if he was at the last. She crumpled up the paper and tossed it in a bin that was outside with a fire in it. The men who were drunk around it laughing merrily. One broader gentleman about twice the size of Eve thought it a good opportunity to throw his arm around her. "What'se pretty lass like you doin out by yerself tonight?" He hiccuped and took a glance at her backside. "How bout I buy ye a drink an then we get cozy, eh?" Eve closed her eyes for a brief moment and controlled her breathing. "Get your filthy hand off of me before I make you regret it, peasant." She grabbed his arm from off her shoulder and shoved it away. "Aw, come now." He slapped her ass crating a loud smack. "I could show you a good..." His face went stark white when his eyes laid on Eve's face. At this moment the man had regretted his life choices. And if he was asked to recall this moment in years to come he would swear he saw his life flash before his eyes. "...time." He swallowed hard just as her boot met his groin. The man flew backwards into the taverns doors, stumbling backward and landing against the bar, stools flying as he landed. Eve walked in and grabbed the man's filthy shirt by the color. "It is in your best interest to ask a lady if she would like your advances." She socked him hard and he fell onto the floor with a groan. "Next time I'll kick your family jewels so hard you won't be able to make your mother grandchildren." For emphasis Eve put her boot on his crotch. She heard laughter from her left and knew who that cadence had belonged to. Eye's narrowed as she turned her head to stare at the prince. You pompous asshole.

Laurent BOT 14-Dec-21 05:15 AM

Laurent got quiet as he looked over as he heard all the noise and talking, a sigh left his lips as he then smirked looking at the Knight. Coming his way. "Father send you to bring me home? I hate to disappoint you but I'm not going anywhere, Why dont you sit down get off your high horse and have a drink?" Laurent said as he looked over at Eve, he had been drinking but he only had one, and was now only drinking water for the moment. "Wouldn't kill you to relax some..and how the hell did you find me?" Laurent said firmly as he looked back over at Eve his tone more serious as he shooed the Bar maid away from him as he let his focus fall on Eve. "Nary one person has ever been ever...Damn you sister..." Laurent now fed up with this situation he sighed and stood paying for his drink's a she stood and made his way through everyone his shoulder bumping into Eve as he left. As Laurent stood outside a burly man bumped into him, and laughed as he looked down because Laurent had hit the ground, the mad chortled as he spoke to Laurent. "Poor bugger fell on his Arse.. why don't you get up here and say Sorry for bumping into me you blind ass." Laurent grinned as he stood up and removed his royal jacket and stood as he inched his way closer to the male, and smirked as he spoke. "I am sorry that your as giant as a house, smell like pig squaller, and have the looks only a mother could love, why dont you apologize to me instead you buffoon." The burly man got angered and started to turn to Laurent, This made him smile and speak softly. "Oh please make my day.." Laurent Stood there waiting on the impact, just the reason he needed to give someone a hard time.

Eve Klein BOT 14-Dec-21 08:33 AM

Eve narrowed her eyes at hearing him telling her to get off her high horse. She didn't think she was better than anyone, didn't think much of anything about herself except being proud of how hard she had worked to get to where she was. And for this prince, who was definitely on a high horse to say something as such really irritated her to no end. Him bumping her shoulder was the icing on the cake of her anger and she had half a mind to grab him and put him in his place like she had done the other gentleman. She eyed Laurent's friend a moment and snatched his liquor. She downed it and slammed the glass down on the table before swiveling around on her feet and following the prince out the door. "Don't think I'll just let you-" She had started, only to stop speaking as she saw the big burley man about to hit the prince and she grabbed the man's arm mid swing. "I think not." She twisted his arm until it made a loud pop and pressed it against his back. She kicked the back of his leg having him bend on his knee. "I think you should apologize to our prince before you lose that tongue of yours." The man squirmed, but with how she was applying pressure there wasn't much the man could do, even if she was a woman.

Laurent BOT 14-Dec-21 01:35 PM

Laurent growled as he watched the Knight Muscle the man infront of him, his smile faded as his anger took over him, looking at the female he softly spoke as he started to walk away before his temper got the best of him. "Do you really think I needed your help? I could have handled that on my own, Just because I'm the prince doesn't mean I cant handle my own." Laurent walked off as he finished speaking taking the winding way that he took the first time back to the castle, as he growled he flung open the side door and walked in to the side corridor, He walked to his fathers room and slung the door open honestly not caring if he was asleep. "I do not need this protection...If you cant bring Simon back then I am fine with no one." Laurent Slammed the door shut as he quickly walked back to his chamber throwing the door open. Laurent Flopped on his bed coming out of his boots as he just kicked them to the side, and then he came out of his shirt. He cursed at himself as he had a couple of bloody spots on his pants but he honestly didn't care, He locked the door to his room and closed his eye's as he tried to drown out the screaming that was inside of his own mind.

Eve Klein BOT 14-Dec-21 02:10 PM

Eve was even more frustrated now than she had been before. She was just doing her job and the prince was being an idiot. She had half the mind to tell him, and when he stormed off without the man apologizing or resolving the situation she literally growled out loud. She let go of the mans arm but not before bunching him hard enough to knock him out. She shook her hand from the pain and walked back to the castle. At least she knew the prince was home again. Eve made her way to the prince's room to find the door locked. She cracked her knuckles in irritation as she spun on her heels and stormed off home. When she got there her father was still working on paperwork for the king. He set the paperwork aside however, when he saw his daughter enter. "My darling, how was it? Is the prince treating you well?" He had a smile on his face until he saw his daughter's eyes. His smile quickly replaced with a face of concern. "I can't do it. He is ungrateful, disrespectful and just...UGH!" She took her sword off and placed it against the wall. She spent the next half hour explaining what happened to her father. All that pent up frustration, the king, the irritation at not being placed in the kings guard instead of the prince's. By the time she let it all out she was exhausted and excused herself for the night. She awoke early in the morning to train with the other knights on the castle grounds. Most avoided her but there were a few of the men who didn't seem to mind. She used the time training to get out the rest of her frustrations of the day before. By the time training was done she was covered in sweat and excused herself for a break before she would have to start her duty with the prince.

Laurent BOT 15-Dec-21 03:25 AM

Sleep had over taken Laurent that night, as he awoke the next morning, with the rays of sun coming through his curtains. He groaned as he stood up and ran a hand through his hair and let out a very soft sigh. Is this ever going to get any easier.. Laurent thought to himself before heading into what would be known as a bathroom and got into the tub of hot water, His body sank down to the bottom for a moment, all of the scars and blemishes on his body could be seen. Laurent gave a soft sigh as the hot water caressed his body, trying to work out the years of unease and tension in his body. There was so much he was understood for because he lived in the shadow of his father, which honestly he could care less over, His father had no idea of the many times him and Simon would go off into battle together, this brought a smile to his face. Maybe he was being to hard on the woman.. Laurent rolled his eyes as he thought that he was, he had unlocked his door to his room when he got up, and he laid his cloths out for the day, as he didn't really like being catered to by the servants. He had plans today of leaving for a week, and these plans he has told no one. He sighed as he sank into the water once more, letting the water cover his head until he came back up for air, as he did he opened his eyes feeling he was good now, he washed himself and got out drying off. As Laurent dried off he made his way to his bed and slid on his boxer's and his pants, Starting now to dry and brush out his hair before he put it up for the day, He moved over to a mirror and was looking at the the scars, one big one right on his chest only a few inches away from his heart was a giant stab wound. He almost didn't make it back from that week long escapade with Simon. He sighed softly as he traced a few more then made his way over to put his shirt on.

Eve Klein BOT 15-Dec-21 05:24 AM

Eve cleaned herself up in record time and changed into new clothes which consisted of her knight uniform with its cream and gold buttons and trimmings. She pulled her hair tightly into a ponytail before departing the knight's quarters. She made her way to the castle and to the prince's room just as the sun had finally risen above the horizon. She would wait until she had heard him beginning to stir before knocking lightly on the door. She had hoped it would be better today, that maybe he would be more accepting of her in her position. The least she hoped for was that he would give her a chance to prove herself. She had done so for his father and she would do so again if needed, even if she didn't like his personality it was still her duty to protect him. When there was no response to her knock she would pound a little harder on the door. She would wait for a few minutes before entering, hoping that he was in appropriate dress and not in his natural born outfit. "Prince Laurent." It was a simple greeting and she bowed to show respect, all of her irritation from the previous day had been released. "Good morning." She stood upright, her hand on the hilt of her sword.

Laurent BOT 15-Dec-21 06:32 AM

Laurent was just sliding on his shirt as his door opened, he turned to look at the knight entering his room, as he slid on his shirt she was able to see many of the scars that covered his body. "Good Morning Eve." Was all he said as he buttoned his shirt, and started putting on his adventuring boots. He slid a forearm sized dagger into his boot as he stood up tossing his bag onto his bed. "What can I do for you?" He asked as he started putting things in his bag, every once in awhile he would steal glances at the knight. to see her body movements and her attitude. He wasn't rude this morning, in fact his mood was actually quite pleasant to hear as he spoke. He slid the last few things into his bag as he snapped it shut, then grabbed a book that was a gift from Simon. This book was a spellbook but he had kept it hidden for the longest time, he strapped it to another book and placed it ontop of his bag, as he moved his hand in a motion to offer her to sit in one of his chairs in his room. "Please sit, you dont have to be so formal all the time, I'm not like my father." He said as he poured them both some tea. He sat down but not before offering her a cup of his tea.

Eve Klein BOT 15-Dec-21 08:22 AM

Eve was baffled, where was the overconfident and cocky prince she was so used to dealing with? Her head tilted ever so slightly as she saw him packing a bag, it looked like he was planning on going somewhere and if that was the case...she would be going too. She bit the inside of her cheek wondering if he would even accept her accompanying him where ever he was planning to go. On the other hand she would follow him regardless of what he chose, she always had an emergency bag put together and ready for events like going to war or the like, the prince deciding to leave also counted under the circumstances. "Just here to do my job, your highness." She straightened and kept her hand on her sword. It was more out of habit than of necessity. She looked around the room to see if she spotted anything else of import or amiss in the room but didn't spot anything. When he offered her a seat she reluctantly took it but just stared at the tea he offered her. "Where are we off to today?" She sat her sword to lean against the chair and tilted her head slightly as she asked the question, her hair falling ever so slightly and partially covering her eyes. She crossed her legs and held onto her knee, her eyes never leaving the prince. Now was the moment she would learn if he would accept her company begrudgingly, or otherwise. She observed him through her bangs and lashes, her blue eyes assessing his mannerisms. If he was going to try and sneak off like he had the night before Eve knew there was a few tricks up her sleeves she could use to track him down and follow. However, she would rather it be the simpler way, with him accepting her as his shadow on whatever adventure he was planning on taking.

Laurent BOT 15-Dec-21 08:49 AM

"Relax Eve...im not going to poison you with the tea." A chuckle left his mouth as he sipped on his tea. He would sit it down as he looked her in the eyes. "I am going on a weeks trip to look for something. My father does not know about this and I prefer that he dosen't know..the man does not have to know every move I make.." As he said that he stood and walked to the window looking down at the street. "I will be at the underbridge at a quarter till midnight." Laurent said as he turned and looked at her, his hands were behind his back, his demeanor looked like he was a natural born leader, and he really is. Lucas sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair, as he pulls his hair tie out and places it around his wrist. as he let his hair lay askew for once cascading all over his shoulder's. "If you wish to follow me..you better get used to being close to me..I dont bring extra bedding,..but all you have ot bring is some cloths and some extra food if you wish to..and no ..dont think this is some ploy to get rid of you or cause harm to you, because that would be far from the truth." Laurent said as he sat back on the edge of the bed as he looked down at his feet.

Eve Klein BOT 15-Dec-21 09:42 AM

Eve picked up the glass of tea after she was told it wasn't poisoned, she would take his word for it and hopefully it wouldn't bite her in the backside later. She took a sip of the tea and it was okay, not her usual cup but it was alright. When he told her where he'd be she raised an eyebrow but kept silent. This was promising, even if she was worried that it would be an ambush she could take care of herself, she had faith in herself. She sighed when he made the comment about bringing clothes, like she couldn't carry her own gear, but she bit her tongue to keep from speaking. Eve watched as he stared at his feet and finished the cup before standing. "I will not tell your father, you have my word." She strapped her sword back onto her side and turned to face him. "As long as you let my do what is my duty, which is to help protect you then I will follow you anywhere." She bowed for emphasis. While she may personally not like the prince and his ways, the same could be said about her feelings towards the king. Blue eyes stared at the prince as she thought about the scars she had seen on his chest earlier. She wondered how he had gotten them, she had never been one to follow the exploits of the prince. Eve cleared her throat and turned for the door. "I'll give you some time to yourself, if you need me I will be right outside. And as for tonight...I'll be there, and I'll be ready." Eve opened the door and shut them behind her before he had a chance to say anything else. She needed to pick up a few more things before they left tonight but otherwise she was prepared. For now she would wait until her duty for the day was done.

Laurent BOT 15-Dec-21 09:58 AM

Laurent watched as she left, he sighed softly as he cleaned up the tea and put everything away, he sighed a she pulled a box from his closet, setting the box on the bed he opened it and smiled, inside was a long sword that was custom made for him, there were runes along the blade and the hilt was shaped like that of a scimitar. He picked it up and moved it around with ease. A smile came over his face again, as he sheathed it on his hip. Walking over to his window, he gabbed his spellbook and looked back to the window and spoke softly. "Please dont get mad at me for this..Eve..but I will be back before the time to leave, with that he unlocked his window and jumped out, effortlessly scaling the walls until his feet touched the bottom, He was able to stay out of sight from everyone until he made his way to a very large underground cavern. This was the place that him and Simon would come to train together, He smiled a sad smile and opened his spellbook speaking a soft incantation. A bright light would fill the room, and there in his presence was a very life like golem of Simon. "Well boy you ready to go again?" The image of Simon said in a hearty voice. "Always your arrogant old fool." The prince said as he smirked and then soon the sounds of clashing, scraping, and blades hitting one another filled the room. Followed by spells of all sorts. Fire, ice, Lightning, were just to name a few. The prince seemed to have the upper hand alot of the times, but that is when Simon would knock him to his back, The prince would laugh and then they would soon start all over, as if nothing had changed.

Eve Klein BOT 15-Dec-21 12:01 PM

Eve didn't hear anything from the prince from the rest of the afternoon and assumed he had decided to rest. She rapped lightly on the door and told him she was off for the day but she hadn't heard if he replied. Once back at the barracks she gathered her bag and went to where the weapons and things were stored. She grabbed a a bedroll and some extra food provisions in case of an emergency later. She napped for awhile but her friend in the barracks had woken her thirty minutes before midnight. Eve said her goodbyes before going to the designated meeting point the prince had said. She had put on a dark blue cloak to cover her bright and vibrant knight uniform, she figured that if the prince didn't want to be seen then being less conspicuous was better for all. As she walked she enjoyed the night air, the silence and just the stillness of everything. The stars were out in full force and she appreciated the crunch of the gravel beneath her boots. As she approached the meeting place she didn't see anything at first, she figured she must be early and sat, a pen and notebook in her hand as she began to write.

Laurent BOT 15-Dec-21 01:54 PM

After about an hour he made the golem fade away, he smiled as Simon had faded from sight. he picked up his stuff and headed out to the under bridge where he said he would meet Eve, About 15 minutes later he walked up and saw that she was in a cloak and had a note pad in her hand. He leaned against the wall of the under bridge as he watched her write, he didnt read over her shoulder but he was as quiet as he could be. He smirked softly as he continued to watch her from behind. "You always keep your back to the unknown?" Laurent said as he moved over closer to her setting his bag down and propped himself up against the wall again. "Don't you have any normal cloths besides your uniform?" He smiled at her but this time it was a genuine smile as he was actually shocked she would be there, he picked up his bag again and started to the end of the underbridge. "You ready?"

Eve Klein BOT 15-Dec-21 02:53 PM

Eve continued writing out her thought without missing a beat as he attempted to scare her. "Is it the unknown if you can sense it?" She sat the pen down before staring up at him. "First, I don't. My mother only ever allowed dresses before I joined the knighthood. Second, I refuse to wear frilly feminine nonsense when it prevents one from being agile." She shook her head as she stood and dusted off her butt. Eve stared at where he was walking and began to follow after swinging her bag over her shoulders. She wondered where they were headed, and why the prince seemed to be sort of out of breath as she walked behind him. His step was a little slower than normal... Had he not been napping in his room previous? Eve scrunched her face at his back before she quickened her pace to catch up with him and match his pace.

Laurent BOT 16-Dec-21 01:03 PM

Laurent stopped for a moment and sat down on the side of the path on a stump, he looked up at the dark sky and smiled they were away from the castle and he smiled proudly. "Time to set up for the night." He said as he started to unpack a 3 person tent, he had it up in a matter of moments. He looked over at Eve and sighed softly. "I'm not so much of an ass that you have to sleep out here alone, I can take one side of the tent and you the other, I wont bother you one bit." He was at least trying somewhat to be decent, him hoping that it was working. As he sat back down on the grass he started to relax and catch his breath, which was slowly starting to come back to him. He smiled and laid backwards on the grass looking up at the stars. "You ever wonder..what's past the stars? many there is something for us past these walls and all of this? Maybe there is something else out there that's just waiting on us to find it?" He shook his head he felt like he was rambling and that she honestly didn't care, he sighed and went into his bag and pulled out some bread meats and cheese. "Are you Hungry Eve?"

Eve Klein BOT 16-Dec-21 04:23 PM

Eve listened and had opened her mouth to answer his question, her own eyes staring up at the stars. Yet before she could even resting the prince had changed the subject so she let it drop. Instead she shook her head at his offer and pulled out her rations. "You keep you food, your highness." She broke off a piece if the large bread like cracker and chewed silently.
