"I have been to the keep a few times when I was younger. However, after my brother died, my parents refused to allow me to accompany my father on his trips. It made me sad because I remember that I loved being there. I am rather excited that I get to go now, though. It will be marvelous, I just know it." She smiled at him, her blush fading as she spoke. She found that she was enjoying his company, even if he was distant. However, she didn't blame him. She knew that those of lower rank weren't really allowed to get to know to know the Royals. Which meant that they were forced to keep their distance, as he was doing. She couldn't help but secretly hope that he would open up to her. Perhaps they could even become friends.<br/><br/>"Are you excited, Sten? I will not blame you if you are not. You have been more there more often than I." She hoped she wasn't bothering him, but talking to him was relieving her boredom of sitting in silence in a carriage by herself. Her hands were still folded on her lap, while her body itself was turned towards him. She raised one hand, tucking some of her green hair behind one ear. Perhaps she should have fixed her hair better before leaving.
