“I’ve only met her for a bit, but she seems very nice,” I said. “Perhaps when you come over for dinner I should invite her too?” I raised an eyebrow and grinned at him with the last.

I hummed a response of interest. "How old is she?" I asked curiously.

“I’m not exactly sure,” I admitted. “I could find out if you like.”

(Mercedes and Sabrina are continuing from Going Out Shopping For The Day)
The Queen and I entered the Artisan district, both still smiling from conversation. "May I ask if you have set the date for your wedding? Or is it still a state secret?"

I chuckled softly at her question. "We're thinking this autumn but no official date has been set." I replied knowing that Alexei and I were still working out details.

"That would be very beautiful," I said, thinking of the colours of autumn and wondering if I would still be here. I guess that depended on when Nic and Leyna were going to marry. "But then, weddings tend to be very beautiful period."

"I agree." I said smiling, I made a mental note to include Mercedes in the list for guests. I was about to comment on Leyna and her wedding date when I noticed a familiar mop of blonde hair ahead of us. "Is that Princess Leyna?" I asked looking to Mercedes.

I looked ahead, seeing a blonde woman with her back to us. "It could be. I'm afraid I only met her once before the hunt."

"I really think it is here, though I don't recognize the gent she's with."As we stepped closer I tried to focus in on their faces. The blonde turned so that I could see her purpose and I smiled.
"Princess Leyna." I called out to her as we neared.

Before Denis replied, I heard my name called. I looked and saw Sabrina and Mercedes.
“Well, it looks as if you aren’t going to have to wait for a dinner,” I said with a chuckle. Then I turned and waved to the pair.

I turned at the voice calling to Leyna and spied the pair of women coming our way. One of them I recognized almost right away, she was the Queen of our nation, of course I recognized her. The other, beautiful. Dark and stunning. [/i] Was this the Princessa?[/i]

I smiled in return to Leyna's wave. I had liked her when we had met, thought that Nic had certainly chosen a nice woman. Beautiful too, in a way I could only ever dream of. We approached and I let the Queen greet the two first as was proper, smiling politely to the unknown young man.

"Princess Leyna," I said once we were standing next to the pair. "Its a pleasure to see you out cousin, I was looking for you earlier. Princess Mercedes and I are out shopping for the day, seems like you had the same idea." I looked to the young man to whom she was with trying to recognize him. He looked so familar, but I just couldn't place his face.

“It does seem like the thing to do today,” I said with a smile. “Queen Sabrina, Princessa Mercedes de las Aragonia, may I introduce my cousin, Denis de Trevalion.”

The deceased Comte de Fourcay's son. "Well met Lord Denis," I said smiling. "Its a pleasure to meet kin no matter how distant or obscure." I gave him a playful smile.

I bowed deeply to the Queen and then to the Princessa. So this was the lovely Aragonian princess. "And you your Majesty. Its a pleasure to meet the both of you." I gave the Aragonian gem a wry smile before looking back to Leyna and the Queen.

"And you as well, Lord Denis," I replied with a soft smile. He seemed the right age to be beginning the game of courtship, and handsome enough to send the girls fluttering. The thought made me feel old. "It is always wonderful to meet future family."

“What a stroke of luck to see you here,” I said, smiling at Mercedes. “I was looking for some Aragonian items to try and make the house feel a bit more comfortable for Nic, perhaps you’d be willing to give me your advice?”

"Of course, I would be more than happy to help." I said with a warm smile, pleased she was doing such a thing for my cousin.

“Wonderful,” I said with a happy smile to all.
I looked at Sabrina. “Well, I’ve wrangled Denis and Mercedes into helping me shop, will you come too?” I asked with a chuckle.

I nodded to the Princessa Mercedes taking her in as Leyna spoke. Straight off I could tell she had only a vauge incling of who I was, and seemed cool to my pressence, I let myself fade slightly from the group. Allowing my cousin to speak with her kin and kin to be.

"Well of course, that's what I'm here for." I replied smiling to Leyna, it was looking to be a full day.

As soon as Leyna asked Sabrina about her plans, I realized I had spoken before the Queen. Thankfully there didn't seem to be any hard feelings. Sabrina was one of the most human rulers I had met. Perhaps it had something to do with her distance from the throne until the assassinations. "I didn't realize we all needed such convincing," I said with a slightly teasing smile, putting myself on a limb (or at least I thought so) with the jest. But the air was definitely comfortable between the three.

“Maybe not, but it never hurts to do some extra convincing,” I said with a chuckle.
I motioned for us all to begin perusing again, we could walk and talk at the same time. “were you two shopping for anything in particular?” I asked Mercedes and Sabrina. I glanced at Denis, noticing he had become quiet, and smiled.

I was paying attention to the conversation watching each woman as she talked. When Leyna glanced to me and smiled, I returned the smile with an extra wink and offered my arm to her once more.

"I wasn't, clothing perhaps, or some new scarves." I followed Leyna and Denis as we began to wander.

"Her majesty was helping me to see part of the City." I said with a smile. "I'm just keeping my eyes wide open. Are there any sights that I shouldn't miss while I'm here?" I asked, directing the question at them all.

"Hmm," I began as I thought. "I don't know any in particular except the temples." I said smiling to Mercedes. "Though I think Denis would be the best to ask. He probably knows all the interesting areas around here."

"Thank you Your Majesty." I said bowing my head to her as we walked. "But it all depends on what you consider interesting Princessa."
