It was no one she recognized from the wedding festivities; a thin, oddly dressed foreign man with a theatrical air to his every movement. She was wary until he opened the door of her cage, when she stepped out and gave him a grateful smile. "Oh thank you sir!" she said, her voice full of relief. Stepping gingerly away from the cage, as if the bars were snakes that might lash out and bite her, the sheltered princess gazed curiously around the room. It was like nothing she'd seen in her young life, full of strange objects she couldn't identify and odd, exotic plants. She jumped in fright once more when flames suddenly leapt from the fireplace, her gaze flicking nervously towards the strange man. Magic? He must be some odd, foreign type of fairy, she reasoned.<br/><br/>"You know my name? Were you sent to rescue me?" she asked, looking towards the table and chairs when he motioned for her to sit. "Oh, I don't know...I really must be getting back to the castle, everyone must be ever so wor-OH!"<br/><br/>When she protested she found herself suddenly, inexplicably pulled towards the table. A few stumbling steps brought her to it and she nearly tumbled over, catching herself on the heavy wooden furniture at the last moment. She fell into the seat with none of her usual grace and blinked owlishly as she peered around for the source of the strange sensation.
