Her voice jostled the boy out of his concentrated reverie, which he had been caught in whilst he combed through news report on the network. Being a native of Erealia, Larsa wasn't completely up to date with the happenings in Reial, so he thought it best to read up while he had a spare moment. Not all of it was pleasant, nor easy on his mind, but then again, news had a tendency to leave him less than satisfied.

"Ah, Matilda," he greeted as he blinked away his surprise. "How are you?" The mousy-haired prince stretched forward to set his cup of tea on the saucer, standing soon after his hands were once again free. He motioned to an empty seat cushion on the couch.

"Please, have a seat."

She almost drew away when she saw that she had interrupted him from something, but he stood, and invited her forward, and so she smiled and gratefully took the seat next to him.

"Thank you." she said, as she smoothed her dress down.

His question was quite a loaded one. For the most part she was doing pretty well, good in fact, but the troubles of Doma had yet to entirely leave her; even more so the personal questions she had been mulling over ever since then and her conversation with Delita. For now though, she gave a simple 'alright' and smile to reassure him of this.

"And you?"

Perching himself on the cushion next to Matilda, his upper body angled toward her, Larsa forced a smile, looking much more weary than his usual self.

"I must admit, I've been rather tired as of late. I suppose the cold weather has been bearing down on the entire crew, so perhaps that may explain it. Fortunately..." He averted his gaze to a window. "... it seems we've arrived in Bellcius, so I pray my spirits will lift with our stay."

Sky blue eyes drifted back to Matilda's face, and he smiled once again. "Would you like a cup of tea? I'm afraid I only brought a cup for myself--" Larsa motioned with a hand to the teapot sitting upon the small coffee table "--but I could fetch you a cup from the kitchen, if you'd like."

Her expression became a little concerned, and she listened attentively. It wouldn't surprise her if that was the case. They had been back at that frozen island for quite a long time, and with the ship being attacked it would be surprising if people weren't feeling stressed.

She gave him a small smile "I'm sure you will. Especially with Amicus just around the corner, the festivities are sure to give you just what you need." She would be doubly sure to get him something nice now.

Matilda felt more relaxed now. A part of her was still a little nervous, but not half as much as she had been when she had first approached Larsa.

"That's quite alright, but thank you, I appreciate it," Tea sounded nice but she didn't want him to go through all the trouble for her, "actually, there's something I've been meaning to talk to you for a while."
