[ Oh hay. It's a bright sunny day outside and near the outskirts of a castle there is a tree.
 Under this tree is a princess. This princess is currently sleeping under said tree,
a large book titled, " Female Rulers in Modern Europe " resting in her lap, it's pretty big.
There is a wreath of flowers messily scattered on top of her head and various ( Read more... )

[Against his better judgment, Asch approaches as quietly as he can manage and kneels beside her. He tucks the bookmark in to save her place, then sets the history lesson aside.

He peeks at her face. Nope, still asleep.

She might be able to feel gloved fingertips brushing against her temple as he straightens her crown of flowers, Asch himself wearing a frown of concentration. He hasn't decided whether he wants to stay by the tree or not. He can't run off and abandon her anymore, and besides that, there might be monsters.]

[Natalia sleepily almost subconsciously leans into the touch for a minute, a stray petal falling into her golden curls.

At the absence of her big book in her lap, she mumbles something under her breath. ]

[He plucks the petal out of her hair and sighs lightly. He's hopeless, isn't he? Asch stands up, hesitates, and decides to lean against the tree with his arms crossed. He'll stand watch -- just like his first night here.]

[Did we mention Natalia is as chatty as she is in her sleep?]

You're horrible...positively horrible...how could you? You shouldn't have thrown them away..

[What. /What/. Asch just... stares down at her, puzzled.

Thrown what away?

... Whatever. She's obviously enjoying her dream, he ought to wait until his guilt allows him to run away very fast.]

I put my heart and soul into those cookies and you threw them away!..
[sleepy grumble]
At least Asch will eat them..

[... Seriously?

Well, whatever. He has to amuse himself somehow. He picks up that book and starts flipping through it.]

[Don't judge me. 8(
After a while the princess's nose twitches. Them allergies in the air. And she lets out a very quiet little sneeze..
And her eyelids start stirring. ]

[That's adorable, but he keeps that little fact to himself as he flips through the history book.

Trying to draw inspiration, huh? Or something. Female rulers are rather uncommon... The fact that this is about another world makes it interesting, though.]

[While he's looking, Natalia's eyes are opening slowly, lids trembling. She had a strange dream, she had made cookies for everyone but they had cruelly rejected them! The horror. Then her mind traveled, various dreams about places in Kimlasca, people she often would visit in the morning on the streets..it was floating out of mind now.

As she opens her eyes, she stiffens, wondering why she is under a tree, why this place looks familar, and she almost has a mini-breakdown in one second. Did she return already? No--..her eyes traveled around, before blinking as she peered her head over the side of the tree, blinking at Asch.

Thank goodness. Wait, Asch. Since that night he had grown..somewhat distant. Had she done something to anger him? Perhaps she was too forward...oh dear, she found herself lacking with what to say, and instead, watched him read her book, finding herself smiling, albeit a bit sleepily]

It's very interesting, isn't it?

[Asch blinks as she addresses him. It takes him a second to work out if she's actually awake or not.]

Ah... I guess.

[HE'S AWESOME AT THIS 'CONVERSATION' THING.]

... Did I wake you up?

[she just smiles up at you, neatly folding her hands in her lap, blinking once or twice. Well, this is better than nothing right? Perhaps she can think of something to do for him later.]

Not at all! I needed to wake up anyway. How are you? [she fumbles, usually she gives Asch her space but she's starting to worry that she did something wrong]

It's hard to stay inside on a day like this.

[Asch shrugs noncommittally at the question. He's thinking about why exactly he's been avoiding her and feeling steadily worse about coming out here at all.]

I wanted to tell you something.

[Well that was sudden.]

[The princess tilted her head, her eyes curious. How sudden. She patiently put on a look of attention.]

To tell me something? Like what?

[... That sounded way too serious. He avoids that look, instead directing his eyes somewhere harmless, like the... grass. Yes. The grass.]

No one responded to the message I left, so I think it's safe for you to claim the castle now.

[Awkward awkward awkward.]

Is..that so? How kind of them.
Of course you'll be..staying as well, won't you?
