Damian slunk out from behind Quintus, feeling a little better now. He shot a nasty glare at Pine before leaning back against his horse, trying to play it off cool.
”Are you sure you’re alright?” Quintus neighed softly. Damian stroked his neck in response.
“Fine, Quint. I’ll be alright.” He responded, hoping it looked as though he were talking to Jasper instead of his horse.
(XD) (btw I added pictures for Pine and Victor :3)
"Agreed," Pine replied. "And what do you think of the princes? How close are they to meeting your requirements?"
Victor shook his head. Pine's formality was really starting to bother him and he knew Pine knew it too. "Well, do you have any questions?"
“I don’t know any of them well enough to tell,” Lotus said with a smile, “Though I’m sure I’ll be able to tell sooner than later.”
"I suppose Victor may speak freely around you, if you are persistent," Pine said, glancing at his frowning brother. "Though I don't believe he matches your intellect. Damian may easily match your intellect, but may not speak freely."
Lotus looked at the two brothers, horse prince was Damian while the other one speaking was Victor. She made mental notes of everything being said, "And what about you? How well do you think you match my requirements?"
(wait…Victor is talking to someone else now?? I'm confuzzled..)
(No, he's talking to Alexa…)
Pine brushed back his hair absently. "I think I meet them as much as I can. What do you think?"
"I cannot say yet," Lotus said with a light shrug of the shoulders, "I only know so much about you. From what I do know I can tell you meet some, but not others."
Lotus had a little smirk on, "That's for me to know, and you to find out."
Pine almost smirked back. "I see how fair you are."
(Ohhhhhhhhhhhh ok)
"Who do you think I would get along the best with?" She asked Victor, glancing at the other princes before turning back to him.
"Oh please do tell me how fair I am," Lotus held in her full snark tone.
Victor smiled again. "I'd like to say me."
Pine shook his head. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."
Alexia raised an eyebrow "Is that so?" A small smile appeared on her face "Well then, what subkingdom are you going to?"
Victor glanced at Pine, leaned closer and whispered. "Naulien. It's in the north."
She nodded slightly "I know this sounds self centered, but is it even just a little bit colder up there?"
Victor nodded. "Naulien is built on a mountain, almost like a fortress. It might be hard to control, but it's important to this kingdom."
"I'll be going there then, it sounds like a lovely place." Alexia said with a small smile.
That was fast. "It is said to be almost as high as the clouds."
Yes desperately needed XD
