Days were long in Budehuck, and Seed hadn't been so aimless in years... to be honest, he didn't remember the last time his life had been so empty and uneventful. He had worked in the fields at a young age, then when he was tall enough to ride, had taken over herding the farm's grazing animals... after that, it had been the army. He had loved the military life, and rarely used his leave, unless it was to travel back home... but that had only been a few days at a time.
Here, time stretched on, and he felt useless. He had avoided Camus today, but almost regretted it. Arguing with the Matilda knight would have helped relieve some of his tension.
He pondered heading straight to the tavern, and ordering ale until he forgot what day it was. But instead he wandered around the castle grounds aimlessly. Until he saw a very familiar figure on the ship's deck.
Queen Jillia.
Seed wasn't sure what to do... he could deal with soldiers easily, but young women confused him. Culgan would have been a much better choice for this. But Culgan wasn't here, and he was.
So he stepped forward, and bowed slightly at the waist.
The dark haired girl heard the familiar voice of Seed and she frowned, knowing he would probably get angry with her. Gently, she moved her legs around and turning towards Seed and her hands edged to the sides of her body. A part of her wished that he wouldn't be formal, she was just lucky to get the title of Princess without being treated like one. Gently, she beckoned him forward with one hand so he would have to stand directly in front of her.
"Hello, Seed." Jillia moved her legs inwards, she felt a little more reclusive than usual.
Although she was unhappy, she politely smiled at Seed,"How have you been, I trust well?" Her head tilted, black hair veiling part of her face.
