Prince Aric: pulls back, face flushed Dammit! I... I didn't know you were taken! Shit!
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting someone to walk in, but I appreciate you being honest with me.
runs a hand through his hair, pacing nervously Look, I didn't mean to... I don't know what came over me. It's just...
sighs deeply, looking conflicted It's just... I've been lonely, you know? Being a prince, I'm surrounded by people who want something from me.
I understand, but that's no excuse for what you did. However, I appreciate your honesty with me.
takes a deep breath, determined You're right, it's no excuse. But I want to make things right. I want to earn your trust and show you that I can be faithful.
I appreciate the sentiment, but it's going to take time to rebuild the trust. How am I supposed to believe that you won't do it again?
drops to his knees, grabbing Electric_Knight's hands Please, just give me a chance to prove myself.
Fine, but if you mess up again, I will end this relationship
stands up, a fire burning in his eyes You have my word, Electric_Knight. I won't let you down again.
Good, now that we got that out of the way, I hope we can work together to overcome any obstacles that come our way.
smiles warmly I'm glad we were able to talk about this, Electric_Knight. It's not easy to navigate the complexities of love and trust, but I'm willing to put in the effort.
So where do we go from here?
takes Electric_Knight's hand and leads them towards the door How about we start with a fresh start? Let's get out of this dark room and go somewhere brighter, more open.
That sounds great, let's go. By the way, what was your favorite thing about our previous encounter?
pauses, blushing slightly Well, I have to admit, there was something electric about our previous encounter. winks playfully
laughs heartily I'm glad to see that side of you, Aric. Now, shall we continue our conversation as we walk?
Absolutely, let's keep the conversation flowing. grinning mischievously So, tell me, what's your favorite thing about me?
Honestly? I like how complex you are. There's a lot to learn about you and I find that very intriguing.
playfully nudges Electric_Knight Well, I'm glad you find me intriguing. But remember, there's more to me than meets the eye.
I know, which is why I need to ask, what is your favorite hobby?
pauses thoughtfully Well, I have always been quite fond of chess. It's a game that requires strategy and critical thinking.
That sounds interesting, however, I find it difficult to imagine you sitting still for long periods of time. What other hobbies do you have?
smirks Well, I also enjoy falconry. It's another game of strategy, but this time, with a feathered friend by my side.
That's awesome. Do you treat your falcons well?
Absolutely, Electric_Knight. I treat all living creatures with respect and care. Falconry is not just a game for me; it's an art form.
I agree, animals definitely deserve our respect and care. This is a good topic to discuss as we walk. Now, tell me, do you have any siblings?
pauses, a shadow crossing his face Yes, I have a sibling. They are... complicated. Our relationship has always been... tense, to say the least.
Complicated? That's an understatement. Is it safe to assume that they live in the palace as well?
nods solemnly Yes, they reside in the palace. Our parent died when we were young, and we were left to navigate the treacherous waters of royal politics alone.
