Happy that he squezzed his hand back. He smiled at her but then frowned. "I know, I wish that you could marry who you wanted, who could rule this area frimily but fairly" He touched her face softly. "You will find a way" He stiffened when he heard that her uncle would be around. He looked around. He didn't think he would like him touching her face but he couldn't resist.

[Rose for the Hunter]

Laughing Sayuri looked to him "Your worry and panic far too much Alem" she said adn poked his nose smiling "He's not that overally strict and I'll see what eh comes back with, might be good news might be bad" she whispered "and eh won't come until noon time anyway.

[Xuxa_Rene]

Alem relaxed slightly "Yeah I know I am a bit stressed" He blushed as he poked his nose. "Well its good that you have someone that lets you be you" He smiled then leaned back in the chair. "So what do you want to do till noon time" He asked quietly letting her chose"

[Rose for the Hunter]

"I want to explore this place a little more and are you sure you're well enough to be exploring with me?" she asked him, a little worried about him still. After they finished breakfast she thanks the women and then headed outside with him

[Xuxa_Rene]

"That sounds good" He stood up and followed her outside "So what would you like to explore?" He looked at her. "Don't worry about me, I just didn't think I shouldn't do the heavy lifting right now but exploring I should be okay with"

[Rose for the Hunter]

"Ok then, let's just explore around where the animals are, I want to see what they're like" she said smiling to him "also if you start to feel in pain then tell me"

[Xuxa_Rene]

"Arlight sounds good" He lead her to the animals "So you like animals, surely you have some pets home don't you?" He chuckled "I will tell you if I am in pain don't worry" He lightly took her elbow and showed her the animals as some came up and nuzzled Alem. "The animals seem to like me"

[Rose for the Hunter]

Sayuri looked to him "Yeah but I don't really get to interact with them much" she said and watched as some of the animals came over and nuzzled him going over to stroke one of the cows heads and smiled "I can see they really do like you, quite a lot" she laughed waiting a goat trying to get some fo his hair to chew.

[Xuxa_Rene]

"Why don't you get to interact with them, surely you have a pet of some kind?" He laughed at the goat and petted him. "Well cant forget about you now can we" He reached down and grabbed some grass. "I will get you some feed alright" He cuckled then turned to Sayuri. "So what do you think of our animals?"

[Rose for the Hunter]

"They're great and are clearly healthy and lively as ever" she said laughing and went to help him get the feed for them. "There are pets, just I'm usually kept in my room...so... a little hard when they live outside"

[Xuxa_Rene]

Alem frowned "But I heard all the castle staff and royality have like little lap dogs to keep them warm or cats to keep away the mice in the rooms?" He shook his head. "Wow guess everything I know is wrong" He was grateful for the help Taking the feed back he feed the goats and then the chickens. "So maybe you should ask the princess or the queen about you getting a lap dog or cat everyone should have a pet"

[Rose for the Hunter]

She giggled at what he said "I have before but I'm not allowed one" she sighed and ruffled her hair before she helped with feeding the goats and chickens "Guessing these lot are you're pets then?" she asked

[Xuxa_Rene]

Alem frowned "Well I am sorry to hear that everyone should have a pet" He shook his head. "Not really pets, they are working animals" He sighed "Sometime there are cats around here that will sleep with us and keep the bugs and rats away, but these guys give us milk and wool for the castle" He petted them "But we do care for them and love them"

[Rose for the Hunter]

"I see" she smiled and nodded a little "Well they're very nice and we had a cat at the castle once, I remember it always wondering around so i did see it and petted it for a while but it wasn't really a pet more of a wondering cat. It looked to unkempt to be a pet but was definitely well fed, clever one too" she laughed at the memory. "Gave some maids the run around"

[Xuxa_Rene]

"Well I think you should ask if you can have one or two pets, it will help the lonely nights be not so lonely" He swallowed and then smiled at her. "I can imagine that someone else gave the maids the runaround when they were little too"

[Rose for the Hunter]

"Yeah I guess but that's only for when I go back" she said to him and smiled laughing a little at what he said "Most likely I did" she said "When father was around I used to explore the gardens everyday, they were like a maze to me when I was little" she smiled. Later that afternoon she got news from her uncle who came over "You're enjoying yourself still I see" he said and she nodded "yep" she smiled "However, I will have to bring you back soon, you're mother has requested it after the prince told her that you'd been seen foolish young man, also the marriage thing was looked into as well. As long as a male relative that has power accepts the person they don't even have to be a lord" he said quietly to her and she smiled a little "Thanks uncle" she said and kissed his cheek.

[Xuxa_Rene]

Alem couldn't help but smile at her comment about when she went back, it meant that she was planning on staying a little longer. "A maze? Now that sounds fun!" He grinned "I like your laugh" He stiffened slightly at the presence of her uncle and bowed slightly. He listened to what they were talking about he frowned about her going back so soon. He couldn't interfere though.

Hearing that she could marry who she wanted he smiled that would be good for her. He watched the interaction and bowed again but stayed back not wanting to interfere.

[Rose for the Hunter]

Her uncle smiled at him "So polite but you don't need to bow, young man" he laughed "However, Sayuri the wedding will be held the day you get back, so I'm afraid there is nothing that can be changed, his parents rushed it forward after you ran away" he said to her a look of sorrow forming on his face. "I'm sorry Uncle, you got worried didn't you?" she said pecking his cheek and then looked to Alem. "There anywhere nice you can show me before I go home?" she asked him

[Xuxa_Rene]

Alem blushed a little. "Sorry training is a bit hard to forget" He frowned at the news of the wedding. He looked to Sayuri sad for her that she would be stuck in a marriage that she didn't want.

He sighed and tried to put on a smile "Yeah there is the river, just beyond the trees, what do you think do you want to see that?"

[Rose for the Hunter]

"Yeah of course" she smiled and let him lead the way following him to where the river was. Still not wanting to go back that adventure of hers was drastically cut short and she hated that prince as well, he was horrible.
Her uncle stayed there thinking, he didn't want her to go back either, partly because of what he'd heard about what would happen to her, nothing more like a bird in a cage laying eggs. Nothing more than that, He wanted to try and buy a little bit of time for her but then remembered Alem. "Maybe..."

[Xuxa_Rene]

Once they were at the river he stepped into it so he was about midway to his knee deep and turned to him. "Come on in the water is cold but refreshing" He scooped up some water and drank some. "If you look you can see the water fall that feeds this river" He sighed and looked at her. "Hey I am sorry about you know what, but lets enjoy today before we are back to the real world then we can have some fun right?" He splashed her lightly and giggled. "So you gonna come in?"

[Rose for the Hunter]

Hesitating a little she walked in after him shivering a little from the cold but smiled slightly. "It's fine, I'll find a way out of it if it gets too much" she said to him and cupped some of the water in her hands and then decided to splash him with it and laughed at him smiling. "Plus if I can't escape my 'cage' I'll just find my way somewhere else out of that place"

[Xuxa_Rene]

Smiling when Sayuri entered the water with him. He nodded to her comments. "Something tells me you have more then one way to get out of castle" He laughed as he was splashed. "Well glad to see that you are playful" He sighed and nodded. "Well is there anything else that you want to do?"

[Rose for the Hunter]

She looked to him "You know exactly what I want to do and that is not to go back to the castle and marry that prince anyone but him would be better" she said to him and frowned still but soon splashed him again and then thought again before she sat on the bank of the river. "I want to look after the animals a little more" she answered

[Xuxa_Rene]

Alems heart broke a little for Sayuira he had always assumed that the royality had turned snobby after the king died, he had never seen them since but it seemed that even the princess didn't have a say and that was just wrong. He wished he could do something about it but he was just a street rat, a thief and peasent a nothing.

He broke out of his stance and laughed as he was splashed. "Oh sure splash me then ask for that" He laughed again and nodded 'Alright lets go see the animals" He got out then offered his hand to her to help her up.
