Snippet #2430755

"Is everything well, Princess? You seem troubled." Robb spoke after giving her a gentle nudge. Tenanye smiled. "Not troubled but a little homesick." She admitted. "I only just realised that I am the furtherest away for home as I've ever been." She said. "I've been on countless peace journies yet, this is the furthest I've gone in the effort. I am probably going to miss the Hinamatsuri festival due to the distance." She said softly. She took a breathe and smiled genuinely "But it is not for naught as my people will have what it lacks and I will return soon." she said even though there was a cold chill that ran up her spine. As if something wasn't quite right.

"Come. We have a feast to attend and I am quite famished." She said changing the subject and gesturing toward the feasting hall where music could already be heard.

Soo-Min grinned as Moon called her 'hime' It made a blush redden her face. She was most certainly not a princess but he sure made her feel like one.

She hoped one day she could find someone as sweet as Moon would capture her heart and take her mind away from the Princess. Tenanye was her best friend, but she could not be her lover as well. She understood that now.

As Moon left as did Soo-Min. She made her way toward the feasting hall where she spotted Tenanye with a man. Soo-Min sighed. Tenanye's beauty knew no bounds, it seems she could find a suitor anywhere. She'd found two in the span of a few hours. Soo-Min wondered how many she would find in a day of being here. "Tenanye-sama!" Soo-Min called, trying her best to keep her thoughts from going elsewhere as she saw the torch light give the Princess' bronze skin an orange glow. Tenanye turned and smiled. "Soo-Min, Feeling better?" She asked and Soo-Min nodded. Of course, she could not hide her solemnity from the Princess' keen eyes. It was hard to get anything passed her. "Aye, Milady. I believe I was still feeling the effects of the night on the ship." She said sheepishly. Soo-Min wasn't specific, lying to the Princess was nearly impossible. She'd see right through it. "Ah, Yes, Motion sickness can be tricky, I am glad you are well, We are about to attend the feast, This is Sir Robb Snow. Eldest of the House of Snow." Tenanye said gesturing to Robb. Soo-Min bowed respectively. "Nice to make your acquaintance, Sir Snow." She said. "This is Soo-Min Kwon. My lady-in-waiting." Tenanye said. Lady in Waiting in Anansai culture was different then most, it meant, Soo-Min was her Guardian as well as an attendant. She protected and served the Princess and her alone.
