A crimson blush colored her cheeks the moment the Castellan had said he had heard her shouting. Had she really been that loud? Of course she had been! She had been throwing a temper tantrum like a spoiled little child. It was evident from the look that the great bear of a man gave her, he was not lying, “It was an insult about your comment sir, about a meal would do me well. I am plenty healthy and I certainly don’t need you tell me otherwise, thank you.” Her reply came out weak, watered down, not how she had intended it. With a defeated sigh, Odette tugged at the ends of a stray tendril of raven hair nervously.
When he looked down at her with those eyes of his, the sadness that danced behind them made her blink, confused, “Why should the cost of my words burden anyone else besides me? They are mine, if the prince has a problem with what I say, than perhaps he should take his anger out on me and not others.” But she knew that the man was right. The prince had the right to do as he pleased, she was his guest, perhaps was the reason why he didn’t take his anger out of her.
There was a falter in their walking when Ivan froze and looked back. “No I cannot, I suppose coming here was the first real choice that I had as well.” And then the prince began again about how the prince was not a kind man. What was the first indication? The warm welcome, or perhaps his sparkling personality? What he said next struck a chord, she was acting like a child, and she hated herself for it. She wanted to prove the prince wrong, wanted to prove Ivan wrong, to show them, even if it was more for herself, that she wasn’t a child. “I r-“ but that was the extent that she was able to get out before she was introduced into the main hall again.
It no longer looked like it had the night before. It was bathed in warm light instead of the harsh blue white glow of the witch light, it actually looked welcoming. But from across the room, Odette could see the prince, even before he stood or moved across the room like fog.
He stood and gave a slight bow, fine, she would behave, for the time being. Grabbing the folder of her dress, the raven haired girl curtsied and bowed her head lower than prince did his. When she had pulled herself erect again, the prince beckoned her forward. Odette wanted to roll her eyes, but she did, she simply took a deep breath and stepped forward. She stopped for a moment, looking the prince up and down.
Moving towards his right hand side, the young woman did not wait for him to pull out her chair, surly he was bound not to. Taking her seat, she sighed heavily, “Good morrow your highness.” His comment made her nod, “And I will do as such.” Better to say less with the prince, “Can we continue on with our business, I am here as an ambassador, and my being here is strictly business.” Small talk was on the lower portion of her to do list, and the prince was not one of the few people she did not want to small talk with.
