<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">The Twins</span><br/><br/>Princess Elise felt herself under the scrutiny of Prince Henrik as his eyes swept over the pair. Being looked over was one of Elise's favourite things and she flourished under a man's gaze- though she didn't give mind to the fact that he was most likely assessing her in terms of importance and skill, not on looks.<br/><br/>She gave a courtesy bow when he introduced himself in response to his own, "It is a pleasure, Prince Henrik and I am quite impressed," she said, a prim smile upon her lips, "Your reputation far proceeds you, even my dim-witted brother knows of you," she complimented, "Though I dare say you're much more... agreeable than the tales would count you for," she said, speaking of his looks. After all, being on the other side, she heard many tales about him and of course those tales were coloured with grotesque images of the Prince.<br/><br/>"Guardian?" Roran echoed, he being slightly confused.<br/><br/>Elise gave a curt smile, "Pardon my brother, he's not the brightest."<br/><br/>Roran heavily blushed, "My apologies, perhaps I should excuse... my..." it was then that Roran noticed the dark stains on Henrik's cloak, brows furrowed as it made no sense for royalty to be going about in dirty clothes. "I mean you no disrespect, Prince Henrik but your cloak is-" Elise gave Roran a sharp jab to the side in her elbow, making him shut up.<br/><br/>She was aware of what the stains were- blood, she had caught it when she first approached the Aserit family, surveying every thing about them as far as their looks and dress went. You could tell a lot about a person from how they presented themselves, really. Despite it being a bit gruesome, it would be a lie to say that Henrik's look and act altogether made her feel a little racy. A man like that must surely give firm spankings. Not that she cared...<br/><br/>"If my younger brother proves a pest, do not hesitate in dismissing him from your company. While sweet and honest, he can be a bother. His feelings might be hurt for a second, but he'll think no more of it once he's become distracted by some thing else," Elise said, smiling some thing poisonous as her words proved to be true, the young Prince Roran already excitedly talking to Prince Omar, "If you'll excuse me, Prince Henrik, I must collect my brother now, it has been a pleasure. If you need any thing, Roran and I are only right down the hall, as we too are guests," she told him before giving a slight courtesy and going to her brother's side.
