“Oh. Yes,” Handy said in as dignified a manner as he could manage. “My apologies for not immediately recalling. I had other matters on my mind.” He then looked over at the princess, who seemed to be much more still and nervous than she had been before. Briefly he wondered just how rattled he had left her at the time but pushed the thought aside. Time to simply smooth this over and then get the ponies out of here before something regrettable happened. Therefore, he summoned up his most sincere-sounding courtly tone of voice and proceeded to give an apology he didn’t mean in the slightest. “Your Highness, you have my sincerest apologies for my behaviour back then. I am afraid I was still rather sore towards your kingdom for my circumstances at the time, and could not resist the opportunity for the prank as it appeared to me. A form of petty vengeance you understand, but for that, I am sorry.”
