Revan smiled, but his heart broke slightly. Regardless of whether or not Seraphina would be allowed by her future husband to visit her homeland, the fact was that this was the last time they would be able to be together in this way. If they saw each other in the future, everything would be changed. This was the twilight of their young lives and a new day would soon be dawning: a day in which they would have many new responsibilities they had probably never imagined. After tonight, their lives would never be the same.

Revan wanted to hold onto this moment for as long as possible, but he could feel it slipping away. He looked down at his watch and sighed.

"Father did not give us a lot of time to adjust to this news," he said, placing his hat back on his head, "we don't have long before we should start getting ready. After you ran out, father told me that he is having the royal shuttle prepared in order to take us to The Dusseteu Gardens. It will be ready soon."

Revan paused and sighed again, thinking of another matter which made him uneasy.

"You will have to help me decide what to wear. You know that I'm useless at that sort of thing," he laughed, holding his arm out for his sister to take.

If Revan said that he did not often attend social functions, it would be a bit of an understatement. He could only remember two balls he had ever been to, and they were the two most excruciating nights of his life. He felt nervous and out of place the whole night. He barley spoke to anyone, and danced less. Of course he was sought after by many of the young Firean noble ladies (they would have sought the attentions of any prince regardless of whether or not they actually found him charming) but he spent most of the night trying to avoid them.

Meeting his future wife was an even greater concern. Would he be expected to try and woo her? What an uncomfortable thought! Revan had spent most of his life on his work, and rarely spoke to any women besides his sister and mother. He had no idea what he would say to her. Though, chances were, it didn't matter whether the couple liked each other, but he would hope that his future wife would at least find him tolerable. But, the prince felt he had little to recommend himself by, unless the light princess enjoyed hearing about android research. Something made him doubt that.

"What in Dusseteu are we supposed to talk about at these things anyway?" he asked his sister.
