Nathanial noticed that the garden had become a popular place. Even though he would have much rather stayed away from the others for a while longer, but it seemed that might not be an option. The young crown prince yawned slightly. A nap would do wonders, he thought to himself. His journey had been long and rough and he still wasn’t fully rested. Deciding to leave the others to their own devices he slipped out of the garden and back into the castle. He managed to navigate his way through the vaguely familiar hallways to one of the stairwells then he proceeded to ascend the stairs to the second floor.

Approaching the top of the stairs he yawned lightly. When he entered the hallway he stopped in his tracks. He hadn’t expected to run into anyone up here, but to his surprise one of the princesses was there sitting on the bench by the window. Taking a moment to look her over, he couldn’t remember seeing her before. He had been so sure that he knew all the others that had been invited to this little event. A few moments passed before the male cleared his throat slightly, approaching the woman. “Good afternoon,” he said in a polite tone.

((I’ll make a post for Maiara soon. Just need to decide what to do with her since she’s the only one at the stables right now.))
