The smile didn't exactly make her feel relaxed, but she did feel more comfortable knowing that at least they both knew where they stood. And if Victoire had hoped that they had actually managed to flee and stay incognito for a while, the man made such hopes die. Well, perhaps it had been foolish hope anyway, a group this big, with as many carriages it didn't take a genius to come up with who they were exactly.<br/><br/>Victoire let the man speak, tugging the coat tighter around her shoulders and staying silent. Had they been back at the castle she might've even let him know that it wasn't proper calling her 'miss', but out here, in the dark woods and between her and this peasant man? It did feel almost wrong to call him a 'peasant' though. While she wasn't exactly experienced with men, Victoire wasn't a virgin, untouched lady she had to make people believe. And this man was quite a sight. His smile sent shivers up the woman's spine and the casual way he spoke to her made her feel like any other woman in town. In the best way possible, of course.<br/><br/>"I needed some fresh air," Victoire finally spoke up, clearing her throat and offering the man a slight, crooked grin. Hell, if she was standing out here with him, with no one watching, she might as well talk. Who knows, it might even do her some good, get her some information.<br/>"Wasn't an easy journey, as you might've already guessed. And you're right, I'm... part of the royal family, Princess Victoire. It feels nice being out here, without anyone watching my back." The woman moved to lean her back on the wall and glanced up at the treetops before offering the man a slightly wider grin.<br/>"You, however, should be careful. The few guards we -did- take with us might get a little stab happy if given an opportunity. Still, if you were to rob me, now would be the chance." She didn't know herself what made her speak like this, almost like offering herself for danger, but on the other hand, she didn't really care either. Lord knows it had been a long journey, and if she was to get robbed by someone, it might as well be someone as gorgeous as this man.
