Minutes after she gets herself settled in the garden, she may hear a familiar-to-her sound of a strapping man running to her side, and only when she is in viewing distance does he call out to her.

"Princess."

It is not shouted. Too many ne'erdowells in the area might take an opportunity of the princess, alone, even for a moment. He rushes the rest of the way, which is not to say he wasn't rushing before this moment, until he reaches her.

"I received your notice, and would like to inform you that it is all being taken care of. They placed you at some sort of peasant cottage, but I insisted on your taking residence in a wing on the highest level. I took the liberty of bringing over most of your things, and have laid out several of your best and your favorite attires for you to choose from." A big charming grin.

[OoC: Also, help me I fail at accuracy, what would he address her as, title-wise? Or, since she's princess, maybe Your Highness?]

She nods very slightly as her knight approaches, a slight incline of her head in recognition. Her entourage here was hand-picked by her father himself, and they all have known her since she was only a girl, if not since before; they will be well accustomed to her small signals and gestures ( ... )

The garden may be safer, but he is always vigilant, and doesn't trust anything. He has been called paranoid, or at least, he imagines he's been called paranoid, because no one dares to say anything of the sort to his face. However, in order to protect the royal family, nothing less than vigilance would do.

"You're most welcome, but it was no trouble, I just wish that I could have gotten more." He does look serious, even if he has his usual grin on his face. "I have instructed one of the higher-ranking maids to take care of their set-up among themselves. I'm sure that they would know best how to tend to your royal highness in their ways." If he understands it as a joke, it doesn't show.

[OoC: Ahh, thank you! themoreyouknow.gif also 'installed the maids' is making me picture robo-maids or something.]

The truth is, Sir Mal was not picked for this mission into France on account of his political savvy or clever insight into detail; frankly, he's here to make sure no one lays a finger on her and to frighten off anyone that might dare try. But it takes all kinds, and she's pleased for that. It's much more reassuring to know he's here, after all.

"Good, I am pleased to hear everything is as it should be. Tonight will be very important to us, my dear knight, and we must do everything we can to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible."

[Zuko Flamel has already gone over his letter more than once so far before the celebration had begun within the palace. He's currently on the prowl while making sure to stick close to her should she require his assistance. He's been watching her mingle from the corner of his eye and has ignored how the humidity had risen in the past hour the more and more the room filled with women in stuffy gowns and high powdered wigs, their faces covered in white paste and their lips painted with rouge, and of course the men wearing their tights and coats and wigs of their own...

Another thing Zuko had ignored before discreetly following after the young princess-- the 'pretty' sculptures. He wasn't there to criticize and admire the decorations, he was there to watch out for Rosella and help her in any way that he could.

...they had a plan to carry out after all.]

[At some point during the evening, Rosella will undoubtedly find some excuse to mingle over and speak with her guard; she's not particularly concerned for her safety at the moment, but she is cautious enough to check in fairly regularly, just to ensure that no unforeseen complications have arisen while she's been busy with socializing.]

Everything remains quiet, I hope?

[action] it's okay! sorry this is pretty late l;adgja pyromatics May 30 2011, 01:19:53 UTC

As expected, Your Highness.

[He nods and, while keeping close to her but not too close to burst into her personal space, lets his gaze wander the area.]
