"You're welcome." Damian was taken aback by the hug, but quickly regained himself. "You should be going now."

Yes, we should…” Edwin turned to Savannah and Caspian with a nod.

(Im going to leave this rp,
sorry
but I wasn't participating anyway.)

"Come on, Edwin." Savannah held onto his hand as she made her way out of the house into the town square. A carriage was waiting for them there to take them back to the palace.

“People will stare at my beard. And the dirt on my face. And my bow,” Edwin remarked as he entered the carriage, tugging at his small beard as he came more and more self conscious.

"Don't worry about it. They'll probably just be glad that you're back." Savannah brushed some dirt off his cheek with her thumb.

Riverpaw followed closely, jumping up into the carriage with a bit of struggle. I think you look cool. She thought, tilting her head up at Edwin.

“I just-“ Edwin cut himself off. No matter how much he loved ignoring his responsibilities he was born into, he was the prince and future king and nothing could change that. He sighed before saying, “The court will eat me alive.”

"Edwin…" Savannah sighed. "Everything will be fine, just trust me. You don't even have to tell them where you were, if you don't want to. They couldn't possibly force you to; you know that. We're almost there."

Damian slumped onto his couch, not sure of what to do with himself right now. Again, he was all alone, if Edwin didn't stay here he would have been fine with this quietness, but now it just didn't sit right with him.

“I dunno…” Edwin shook his head and leaned against the carriage’s interior. He started chewing on his lip, but suddenly realized how un-princely it was. He needed to break a lot of habits…

Riverpaw whined, pawing at Edwin's leg. She couldn't speak to him now, but she hoped he was okay.

"Are you alright? You still seem nervous." Savannah gently turned Edwin's head so that they were making eye contact. "I need you to trust me, alright?"

“But people will ask questions. And that will lead to suspicions when I don’t respond plainly. I’m just-“ I’m just not meant to be a prince. “I’m just a little worried.”

"I'll help you, Edwin. You can say you were looking for the assassins who shot me and can't currently disclose any information. That's not a lie, is it? I mean, that was your goal at first, at least, even if it wasn't by the end."

“But I was gone a whole week,” Edwin pointed out just as the carriage came to a stop. People were out there, looking at the royal carriage, unsuspecting that the lost prince was inside.

"Well, assassins are rather hard to find, hmm?" Savannah carefully stepped out of the carriage, not putting much weight on her injured leg.

Riverpaw peeked from behind Savannah at the groups of people gathered outside the carriage. She whimpered and took a step back, afraid of so many humans so close.

Edwin held out a hand to her (Riverpaw), “I have no idea how I’m going to explain you though.” Edwin glanced at his betrothed, “Do you have any kind of story the weave together?”
