Damian leaned against Quintus. He had already achieved his task of charming one of the princesses to come with them. Now he was debating on swooping in to disrupt his brothers.

Pine shook his head. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."

"But of course," Lotus bowed her head slightly a smirk dancing on her face.

(I responded…..)

Ursule walked through the market place, her headscarves wrapped around her head an covering up her mouth. This place is strange, all the food is so bland. Ursule complained in her head as she looked over a booth selling jewelry.

Victor cleared his throat. "Would you like to see the inside of the palace?"
Pine scanned the area again and noted Damian. "Do you have your things ready to depart?"

((That's an understatement for me, I got snow, rain, more snow, rain, snow again, with negative 14 temperatures, which led to a 2-inch layer of ice coating the roads with a lying little blanket of snow on top
have fun with that. sorry, I wasn't here earlier we were working outside. I'm not quite sure where to start but I'll try.))

“Of course, dear brother.” There was only a slight hint of a sneer in Damian’s voice. “Are you taking your leave already? Sincerely tragic to see you go.”

Kai was in the palace, he's been outside but had gotten exhausted of just letting the sun blast on him, besides none had been there. now he could hear that people were starting to arrive, he started toward the door when he saw a girl with a bird standing next to the pillars. she had a long black cloak on and seemed to be talking to the bird, like how he'd seen Damian do when he thought no one could hear him. He decided to slowly approach her and what seemed to be her bird.

Pine shook his head mildly. "Please, excuse me, my dear brother. I simply find it odd that you should be so prepared to depart and yet still remain, alone."

Catori looked up as the man approached her, smiling in greeting.

“Perhaps if you improved your perception you would have noted Princess Catori is waiting for me just inside the doors.” Damian replied tersely, confidently running a hand through his hair.

Lotus stood back and watched the two brothers converse. Observing their relations and thinking back as to how she got herself in this situation. Lotus was a princess in title, but her family had been over thrown when she was a young girl. The new rulers had no children of their own and allowed the two sisters to keep their titles of royalty to maintain an image that they had heirs if one were to fall. That and it would be easier to marry off daughters that weren't their own, but the sisters were forbidden to enter their castle. So the pair became royal street rats, and then the fateful winter came, and Lotus faced the first spring truly alone. Earlier in the year the false king and queen offered her an opportunity and she took without realizing the consequences, and now she was here. Lovely, she heard Pine's comment about Damien being alone, "Well you too are also technically alone. Both of you have talked to one of us, but no princess has made a clear decision as to whom we are going with."

Alexia nodded, "that would be nice," She smiled lightly at Victor and rocked on her heels.

"Hello," Kai said then stopped himself, "greeting there." He messed it up again talking royally was so annoyingly difficult. "I'm Kai," he finally just said.

What prince to bother… Hmm…//

She laughed, holding out a hand. "Catori. It's nice to meet you, Kai."

"Nice to meet you too," he laughed back glad she was able to just brush his slip up off. "I'm sorry I'm not very good at the whole royal speech thing."

Damian raised an eyebrow at Pine, as if silently mocking him with an I told you so expression on his face for a spilt second. “I suppose you're right, Princess.” He dipped his head respectfully.

"Nice to meet you too," he laughed back glad she was able to just brush his slip up off. "I'm sorry I'm not very good at the whole royal speech thing."

"It's completely okay. I can't say I fit in well with most royals anyway." She said, gesturing with her free hand at her clothes with a grin.

"I personally think your clothes look regal and sensible," Kai said and he meant it to.

Lotus dipped her head back respectfully with a smile dancing on her face, "Please, just call me Lotus. You must be Damian correct?"

"I personally think your clothes look regal and sensible," Kai said and he meant it to.

"Why thank you! I prefer practical over ornate, I'd feel bad ruining the clothes otherwise." Catori half-joked.

“Indeed.” Damian perked up a bit when he realized Lotus already knew his name. But for a moment he looked a little confused. “I apologize for any disrespect, but have we met before?”

"Oh no we haven't," Lotus responded quickly realizing her slight mistake, "I'm just a very observant person. Your brother Pine here mentioned you and the others names and my brain put two and two together. I apologize for the slight confusion."
