Dove blinked with surprise. “Really? I thought you would have more freedom to do as you like.” Then she chuckled slightly. “That sounds like a fun hobby, though. I like sneaking out like this too.”

"Yeah well my father.. He means well but he sucks the fun out of everything, and to me it's kinda like a chore now I've done it for so long. "

“Ah…” Dove sighed softly. Briefly she thought of her own father’s warm face, his comforting arms. “Well, perhaps you can learn to have fun again. Perhaps we both can.”

Alice nodded "perhaps.. I can, maybe I could help you"

She blushed a little. “Oh… yeah, I would like that.”

"What would you like to start doing? "

“I… don’t know. Maybe… maybe just getting away from everything, like this, is enough. For now.” Her gaze drifted off to the entrance to the cave, watching the water cascade into the river.

"Well I can definitely help you with that if you'd like?" She followed her gaze over to the entrance and sighed softly "ya know we could start coming her more often too"

“Yeah…” she murmured wistfully. “That sounds nice.” She turned to Alice, eyes looking over her face. “Is there something you want to start doing?”

Alice looked at dove with a smile "ill take you anywhere you wish to go, oh well- um I've never really been asked that before.. I guess i'd have to say traveling more but I know I can't so I don't really know."

Dove couldn’t stop the blush that once again crept up her face. “You’ll… take me? Your Highness….” She tilted her head. “Oh? Why can’t you?”

Alice nodded with a smile" of course I will as long as I'm able…I'm not even supposed to be here dove I've barely left the city I can never travel further than this ever."

“Ah… that is true. Maybe we can… maybe we can travel together someday,” she suggested. “It would be interesting to go out and see the world.”

"Hm..maybe one day, it would be amazing to be able to do that though. "She shrugged looking almost doubtful

“Yes,” Dove breathed. “It is only an idea.” Humming a little, she turned to Alice. “Um, how does my black eye look, Your Highness? I just want to know if anything’s changed.”
The skin around the eye was dark, but likely better than it had been earlier. It still ached with pain, but she had been ignoring it throughout this.

Alice looked over the black eye a pained expression on her face it did intact look a bit better than before but it was the fact that it was there that bothered her "well- it does look better than before i suppose, how sore is it?"

"It's sore, but it is getting better so that's good." Dove gingerly touched a finger to it, wincing a little. "I'm sure it will be completely gone eventually. Don't be so worried," she said, noticing the pained expression on Alice's face. "It's really alright."

Alice nodded and started to bring her hand up to touch the girls eye before stopping herself "i- um maybe a cool rag would help?" She rummaged through her satchel finding a small square of cloth "this should be good, this water seems cold enough. "
