Sten quickly removed his hand once he realized what he had done. It was inappropriate for him to touch her in such a familiar way. They weren't friends, he was her escort and knight. "Yes I shall remain in the carriage with you." He finally replied. "I wouldn't want the driver to stop before we reached the town anyway. I don't want any of the bandits to catch up with us and they wont dare attack while we're in town."<br/><br/>He moved his gaze from the princess and glanced out the window looking for something else to catch his attention rather than the blossoming blush that had colored her cheeks. She was charming, that much was obvious, and quite beautiful so it was hard not to want to look at her pretty features. Their close proximity made it a bit uncomofortable for now though. It wasn't like there was a whole lot of room in the royal carriage.
