"Oh, thank you." Rurik replied and bowed before walking out to the garden where he saw Trivia. At first he just looked up at the clouds as they changed shape before finally speaking. "You seem rather relaxed." he said simply as he continued to watch the clouds in silence. What were they going to do? Stare at flowers all day, that seemed boring already just thinking about it.

"Hello Prince Rurik... yes the garden is very relaxing. I was thinking that we could go for a walk through part of the town that has allot of greenery, it's a nice little area, unless you were wanting to do something else that would be fine too." Triva offered softly as she stood and put her wings away not wanting him to be uncomfortable.

"so we will be looking at trees. Oh that sounds wonderful. Trust me, you wouldn't want to do what I want to do. I sleep alone. he thought to himself. "Alright then. That sounds rather nice." he said and motioned at Trivia to go ahead. "Ladies first." Rurik said politely.

"you know... if you have anything you would rather do or find more interesting we can do that, I just thought you might like to see the area." Triva shrugged before she started to lead him towards the castle gates that would lead back out into the little town not far from the castle that had many small shops like those Rurik and Shiva went to all the time.

Rurik followed close behind Triva and looked at the various shops here. He would have to find a way to get Shiva to come with him here. On the last day, he would have to wait till then and go to the shops with her to get her a gift. He would also have to get his family something and then Jamil for always taking care of Sylph, and even Syrma would get something. That was what he hoped to do anyway, he just hoped he could.

"You know... I would love to know more about you, you kind of seem like you're holding in your true self." Triva pointed out calmly as she slowed her pace to walk beside Rurik so she could look at him when she spoke or when he would

"What are you talking about?" Rurik asked as he looked around at the town. "What more does she want to know? I'm not going to tell my entire life story. I already said enough, at least I think so anyway." he thought to himself as they continued to walk.

"Well... you are here to see if me or any of my cousins are to your liking as a wife correct? getting to know each others is part of that... or at least that's how it is in non arranged marriages from what I've heard." Triva shrugged a bit. "Okay then... you can ask me anything, how does that sound?" she offered calmly

"Yes that is true. I am not a very social person, I prefer silence over loud noises. I hate pointless questions and conversation, and I know that there is no perfect wife for me anywhere so it does not bother me if I don't know them well right away. I have the rest of my life to get to know them." Rurik answered and glanced up at the clouds from time to time. "Me ask you questions?" he repeated and shrugged. "Not sure what I would want to ask." he said and thought for a bit. "What do you do in your free time. What do you look for in a husband? What things do you absolutely hate? Do you get along well with your cousins? Are you enjoying this interview?" He asked all while looking straight ahead and crossing his arms behind his back.

Triva listened and nodded some before grinning at his questions and gave a slight laugh. "well let's see, I read, walk in the garden and town, and star gaze for my free time." she started then thought some. "Hm... I look for someone reliable, someone who doesn't mind spending time together with me but that will also allow me to have my own space and someone who isn't loud and rambunctious." she explained then frowned a bit. "I hate angels, they're despicable creatures, I also can't stand servants that don't know their place and loud childish people." she frowned then nodded a bit. "They're a little louder then I prefer but they are family, I do get along with them okay I suppose but if we weren't family I wouldn't be anywhere near them.... and yes I guess I am" she said then smirked at the end with a chuckle.

"I can give you all the space you want, I have no problem with that." Rurik started and kicked a rock out of his way. "You said you don't like loud pneople, then you won't like me. You also said you don't like servants and childish people. Well let me just tell you something, it doesn't matter who I marry because Shiva is still going to stay with me. If you or any of your cousins have a problem with that then I suggest you tell me now so that I don't waste my time because there is no way that Shiva is going to leave my side when I get married. She is my feeding source and personal servant, she is not going to be replaced." he explained seriously.

"Hu? But you don't seem like you're a loud person, and no I don't mind servants I just don't like the ones that don't know their place, as in the ones that seem to have a sense of entitlement just because they get a little praise or freedom. A servant should know their place is to serve and do exactly what their masters tell them to do no questions asked." Triva explained then frowned. "I have no problem with that, my cousins and parents think it's odd but it's your own decision." She said calmly and really didn't care but if they were to marry she would get her way one way or another.

"I'm a very loud person when I'm mad. You haven't gotten me mad yet but we'll see how long that lasts." he said and laughed softly. "Then you should have no problem with Shiva, but if you do I won't care." He added easily. "You are probably nice right now, but you will probably change if we get married." Rurik thought to himself. Still, they seemed to have some things in common so that was a good sign. "I can understand not getting along with family. I have a sister and I don't really get along with her. I'm working on it though." he commented.

Triva shrugged a bit at his comment and smirked a little. "Well I'll just try not to make you mad, shouldn't be too hard." she said honestly as she continued to walk and look around. "What's your kingdom like? Is it nice?" she asked calmly.

Rurik continued to walk in silence and wondered what the other ladies would want to do. "Yes it is." he said plainly. "Why would I say it's not? I grew up there, of course I'm going to love it there. It's only logical." Rurik added.

"Well you never know some people live in a place their entire lives and hate the area" Triva explained with a shrug.

"Are you one of those people?" Rurik asked easily. "I personally love my kingdom and cannot imagine living anywhere else." he said softly as they continued to walk.

"Well... i like this town but I wouldn't mind living somewhere else." Triva shrugged. "So... can I ask you something? What's up with your servant? I mean... she's clearly not a vampire and she doesn't seem to act like any other servant I've seen and you seemed to pet her almost like she was a pet or something" she pointed out seeming really curious

Rurik listened to her question and shook his head. "I would rather not talk about Shiva when she isn't present. All I can say is that she only does as I tell her to do. She is hard working, loves to help when she can." he answered, hoping that was good enough for Triva.

"Well okay, sorry if it's touchy" Triva said softly as they walked. "Did you want to go back now or continue to walk?" she asked curiously.

"It is not a touchy subject, I just think that if you really want to know about her, why not ask her yourself?" Rurik asked and crossed his arms across his chest while they walked. When he could, Rurik managed to pluck out a rose and handed it to Tibia. "My gift to you." he said before thinking some. "We can head back now if you'd like. Have to give the others a chance you know." Rurik answered.

"Ah ok" Triva said then smiled as she took the rose. "why thank you" she said with a smile before continuing to walk with him looking at the rose a bit

It had been about a week since Rurik returned back home with Shiva. Rurik was glad to be back home, he could finally would be able to do whatever he wanted. Waking up that morning, he decided to shower and carefully dried off and got dressed before heading downstairs tiredly. He had managed to get sleep lately only because he had Jamil make him some tea before bed, and he only did this because many people suggested tea before bed.

Shiva was up early as usual that morning but had felt rather drained ever since they had went to the other kingdom. Rurik was giving her enough attention and she was eating, resting and getting enough sleep so she didn't understand why she was feeling drained now... maybe subconsciously she was still upset about Rurik going out with those other girls? But they still didn't really talk about it even when they got back and Syrma didn't have any answers for her either. She sighed as she continued to work on breakfast with the other servants and cooks wondering if she would be able to talk to Rurik later.

Rurik yawned loudly as he walked into the dining room where everyone was already sitting down and waiting for their breakfast. "Good Morning Rurik, how are you feeling today? How are your scars?" asked Atros. Rurik shrugged, "I'm feeling wonderful. It's great to be home, I can finally do whatever I want. The scars aren't bleeding at the moment. They uh...they bled when I showered but I'll be fine." he admitted. "You took off your bandages?" Irsa asked. When Rurik nodded, she frowned. "You need to replace them now. I'll replace them for you." she offered. "Mother it's fine, I'll replace them myself." he said easily.
