"Don't talk down to me like you know me and my actions" Nix said watching him as he looked at her and explained how she wasn't good enough for him. She had the passing thought of yelling at him at his comment of her being privileged and send guards to chase after him to get her back, though she stopped and thought about it for a moment wondering.  She raised her upper lip in slight distaste and shook her head to his added comment about having princesses in his bed with him. It wasn't that he wasn't attractive that she looked at him like that, it was that she didn't want to know about his conquests whether they be royal or otherwise.  "That's unpleasant" she grumbled pushing the plate aside and leaning back against her chair wondering how she could convince him to let her free. She would never be able to rule her kingdom even if she weren't who she was, the pull of being in the water was too strong and all she wanted to do was hide away in it never to be seen again.<br/><br/>She took a couple bites of her meal as Clay walked away from the table giving her time to think. At least until she couldn't think about much more than hoping to try and convince him to let her go. She knew of a sunken ship with a mountain of treasure even a dragon wouldn't know what to do with, it had to be enough for him to let her go to live a normal, for her, life. Right. Right?  "Which port town are you taking me to?" she asked after a bit more thinking of how she could convince him to let her go free so she could live out her days by the sea away from the hassle of palace life and duty. If all he was looking was a payday she could give him that with the promise he would spread the rumor she was lost overboard in a raid or storm. Who would look for a dead princess that preferred to play in the sea than flirt at balls with knights and other royals.  She even had her doubts of her father looking for her now. She long stopped pretending that he father cared enough to go looking for her, though he loved her mother Phoenix was something he couldn't handle. Her mother loved the land and it's people, and though the love her father had for her was never questioned she knew he'd rather see her gone than to tell the world the truth about her desires.<br/><br/>"I will not go to bed with you, and you're welcome to do your worst to change my mind, but whatever the result you get out of me it will not be willingly" she told him not moving from the table. She could feel her body start to tense, there was no way she could fight him off if he decided to take her, the night her took her was proof of that.  "Let me go, I have a way to get you all the gold you could want and my father and his kingdom and mourn for a princess they never truly wanted." she said biting her bottom lip wondering if he'd pry into her thoughts. She wouldn't blame him but if he knew the full extent of her secrets, she'd never be free again. "You'd get the added bonus of not being hunted by whoever father sends after you..." she said looking to him laying on the bed. "That's if he sent someone at all" she added a little more quietly more for her own thoughts than for him to hear.
