After James had accepted the generous applause and appreciation, he took his seat like the king asked. He was served plenty of food, and anything he could have wanted was there for him to enjoy...a good thing, too, because James had little to eat for a good week, and was a big eater by nature (he is a large man, and notably taller than most others).

He soon spotted the princess, who approached him with a smile. Impulsively, he rose from his seat, a smile on his face as well.<span style="color: #00FF00">"Mr. Fields, would you like to go for a walk in the gardens with me?"</span><br/><br/>James quickly nodded, "Why, of course, lady Serena." He took a step closer to her, though they were still a yard or two from each other. "I suppose I should get to know this castle...though my knowledge of you is...lacking, to say the least, and that will not do if I am to protect you."
