Everything he’d seen up to and including this point was brand new, as was the case for the Princess.  But he lived here, she didn’t.  Orion had spent nearly his entire life on these grounds, yet never knew about any secret passageways.  With no siblings, the youthful urge to explore was never utilized.  Oh sure, growing up, the Prince had done his fair share of exploring the grounds, but there were always restrictions in place.  His handlers made sure these boundaries were never crossed.<br/><br/>So he found it a breath of fresh air at what Cassiopeia had discovered.  Orion ignored the fact that their excursion through the underground corridors pretty much amounted to nothing.  Rooms were empty, devoid of evidence of any recent activity.  Paths led to yet more uninteresting rooms.  The Prince didn’t care about any of this, as their jaunt made him feel like a kid again.  He believed this is what he should’ve been doing at 10 years old or thereabouts.  Meh, he thought, better late than never.<br/><br/>The unfamiliar hallway they were currently in seemed to stump Cassiopeia, as she asked him if he knew where they were.  She even admitted to being lost, which raised an unseen brow from the Prince.  Having assured her that he also had no idea where they were, he said, “Of course you’re lost, Highness.  You don’t, after all, live here, so something like this was to be expected.”  Just in case she felt bad, or worse, foolish for their misplacement, he added, “Besides, I wouldn’t be too hard on yourself.  You did find all manner of secrets, whether it was secret doorways or hallways or whatnot.  Remember now, I didn’t think any of this truly existed.”<br/><br/>For now, she remained quiet, pondering their situation.  “I think we have a couple of options,” he stated calmly.  There was no sense in panicking now.  That would serve no purpose during their plight.  “We can backtrack and just go the way we came.  Or, let me use your phone to contact Bernard.  Maybe he can somehow track us via GPS or something.”  Orion stood there, patiently waiting for her decision.
