"Sorry, I should have warned you," I said, trying not to laugh too much at Nicanor's stumbling. "She gets very possessive of the seats when she is made to wait in the carriage."
Devan was looking at me through the door. "Back to the palace, please Devan," I said. He shut the door and after just a breath or two the carriage was under way.
"Are you alright?" I asked Nicanor, taking the opportunity to lay my hand on his arm in a comforting way and not the proper manner of being escorted somewhere.

I smiled at her kindness, eyes sparking. "Thank you Princess, I'm fine, just stuffed and a bit drowsy. I promise I will not suffocate you by falling asleep and leaning, however. That is, as long as Shylah promises not to try to kill me again."

I was grateful that we were traveling on fairly smooth streets and not bumpy country roads, I would have been miserable.
"I promise not to set Shylah on you as long as you promise to call me Leyna," I said, smiling and folding my hands in my lap.

"Then you will call me Nicanor; anything but Prince or Principe. Really, I wish that I didn't have to go by that at all, but such is the price of having my family, and I wouldn't wish them away. Besides, I get to meet lovely ladies like yourself."

The carriage turned through the gates of the Palace.
"It is a deal then. I shall be Leyna and you Nicanor and when it is just us we can forget that we have royal titles at all and do nothing but spend our time riding horses and terrorizing tavern owners," I said, grinning.

I smiled widely. "That sounds like a deal. Shall we be as the common people and shake on it?"

"Brilliant idea!," I said.
I turned in my seat so I could face him and stuck out my hand to shake.

I stuck out my hand and took hers, shaking it gently but firmly. "It's nice to meet you, Leyna. I hope we will have the opportunity to go riding soon."

"The pleasure is mine, Nicanor," I said as the carriage stopped at the same entrance from which we had exited earlier.
"I hope so as well, and then find some taverns to terrorize," I said, grinning.

"Of course."
I helped Leyna exit the carriage and then stepped out, still chuckling. "Ah, I'm going to end up exiled from this country, I can tell. Just make sure I don't REALLY insult anyone, would you?"

I laughed, taking Nicanor's arm when he was out of the carriage followed closely by Shylah.
"I promise," I told him as we started back inside the palace.
