After Samuel reached the first floor, he headed for the door of the music room. Going through it would be the shortest path to the kitchen from there. But the approach of someone from the porch made him stop for a while.

Surprised at seeing one of the women who he had just been thinking about so soon, Samuel took a moment before answering. "Oh, good morning to you as well, Lady Myazaki! Why yes, I was just on my way to the kitchen. Trying to write something apparently isn't feasible without food in your stomach.", he said with a smile, and added, "Would you like to join me?"

Company was always welcome when going down to the kitchen. It quickly became the default meeting place of all who were in the castle since, well, everyone needed to eat. Where there was food, there were people. However, the past couple of gatherings were a little strange, although never boring. As he waited for the princess' reply, Samuel opened the door of the music room for her.
