Uneasy from the awkward silence, Kaiyle had opened one of his eyes to see exactly what the young woman in front of him was doing.
"What in the world........" he thought to himself, as he spied her wiping spilled water up off the floor like a house servant. "This IS a princes.....isn't it?" he wondered, completely befuddled by her actions. However Kaiyle quickly closed his eye when he noticed Sakura was about to stand.
After several seconds he could tell she had taken a seat beside him, but he still kept his eyes clenched shut, until she spoke again, in a whisper so quiet it was barely heard. "Do-do you guys get such storms often?"
Kaiyle leaned up on his cushion, rested both elbows on the respective knee, and then rested his chin on his now interlaced hands. "Not on average. We do get harsh storms during the spring months, but they usually aren't this bad."
Kaiyle sighed, and then tilted his head towards Sakura....his left cheek now resting on his hands. "This is actually the first time in several years that we've lost power... "
He wasn't sure, but something told him the princess was uncomfortable, and to be honest, he was too.......and for some reason he cared not to delve into at the moment, he wanted to make her not feel scared, or worried.
"Everything will be fine...... the storm is likely to die down by mid afternoon tomorrow" he said, before standing up from the couch and stretching his arms up above his head.
After he lowered his arms, and then casually pulled up at the waist-line of his pants, an idea popped into his head, and he turned to face Sakura....
Kaiyle would briefly glance at her clothing once again, before shoving his hands into his pockets.
"Follow me" was all he said, before walking out of the living room door and turning to his left.
Kaiyle would walk several feet before reaching the same hallway door he was at many hours ago, when he went to show Sakura the ocean. He'd open the door and lean against it...the stone being cold on his bare back. If Sakura chose to follow him, he'd begin to walk down the hallway as soon as he saw her walk out from the living room.........he'd walk until he neared the exit door, but would stop a few feet away from it this time, and instead open a door to his right......revealing a winding staircase, which he'd walk half way up before stopping.
Once Sakura reached the second door, he'd continue walking up....leaving several feet of distance between them.
Their walk would last nearly seven minutes, as their were ten flights they were walking up. And when Kaiyle reached the door at the top, he'd wait for Sakura to appear around the corner behind him, before opening it.
Behind the door was a large circular room, with crescent-shaped couches pressed up against the walls on both the right and left sides of the room, a large rectangle table in the middle, and other random royal decorations on the wall...........all except the wall directly in front of them, where a long row of windows where covered by the same stone all the other large windows were covered with at the moment.
"The windows up here are stronger........." Kaiyle began, as he left the door frame and made his way over to an electrical box above the middle of one of the couches. ".........but they can last for a few minutes i'm sure, so um.....here."
He leaned on the couch, opened the box, and then pressed a few buttons, before standing straight again.
The large stone shutters would began slid back until clearing the vision of one window out of several, just enough to get a stunning view of the ocean falls, which were raging wildly over the cliff-side via the ferocious winds.
Kaiyle would nod his head towards the window to encourage the princess to walk up to it and admire the astonishing view.....and only after she walked up, would he walk up behind her.
"Amazing, isn't it....." he'd say in a whisper, completely lost in the view. A view he'd stare out at for several more seconds, before siting down on the couch to his left......leaving Sakura alone to enjoy the view.
Kaiyle smirked softly, and then questioned himself mentally.......unsure of the pleasant feeling he felt, as he watched someone else enjoy something he himself loved so much.
