Snippet #1305042

Azure chuckled and shook her head at the absolute disaster that seemed to be happening right before her eyes. It amused her that people put so much effort into treating her like a princess when she herself didn't bother give it a second thought. She lifted a hand and motioned for him to settle back down. "Calm down Porter. I don't need you killing yourself to pay respects to me." She placed her other hand on her horse's flank and stroked softly. "It's a stupid post anyway. If Anything I should be thanking you," she muttered.

Slowly she walked over to where the male sat and crouched down to play with the grass. "Because you do more work than I would ever be allowed to do. A princess should never learn to cook or clean or dress herself. It's all of you who deserve respect." And just barely she dipped her head to him with a small smile on her face and her eyes full of light. "Well, I should probably be getting back home before anyone realizes Dawn and I are gone. I hope to see you again soon.... Croix? May I call you that?" Azure stood back up and adjusted her blue hair in its ponytail feeling that it was too loose against the back of her head.

While she waited for his answer she went back to Dawn and stroked the mare's nose with a calm look. She absolutely loved her horse, it would be obvious to anyone. Yet, as much as her horse was gentle Dawn didn't like anyone. It was hard knowing that Azure would have to spend weeks getting Dawn to even think of liking someone but it was worth it. Especially knowing that she would soon be able to visit Marcus and maybe bring him back with her for a visit.

"Oh that would be nice wouldn't it Dawn? You'd love him. He's different like us," she whispered to the mare who seemed to understand every word. "Oh you will love him. I just know it."
