As they danced together, the soft music playing she listened to his words. Her mother was right. It would have been good but she thought that had they married before this, they could have ended up hating each other. Her mother was cast away for having good ideas and good intentions. But why was keeping her to himself so important? A marriage, a union would have been a great asset to Simmin. It would have expanded both the kingdom and the trade market.<br/><br/>But when he said he liked her as it was right now, from what he saw her cheeks blushed. She'd never had words alone make her blush before. Kage's lips parted slightly and she found her heart skipped a beat but she remained calm. She looked over at the man who brought in the food and realized there was only one plate. Though she was hungry, she wasn't going to deny him his meal.<br/><br/>But when he invited her to share his, she blinked a couple of times before slowly walking back over to the table. She looked up at him with soft green eyes and gave the softest smile she'd ever given anyone. A genuine tender smile. Sitting down she waited for him to join her. and she simply lowered her head, her eyes closed and was quiet for a moment. One would think she were praying, but what she was actually doing was easing her mind before eating. A restless mind makes for a restless tummy, is what her nurse maid always told her and it became a habit. She soon opened her eyes and smiled her genuine smile once more.
