OOC: Sowwies, i fell asleep at the pc last night......and then when i woke up, i ran straight out for breakfast, then practice. lol
"Take her to the ocean?" Kaiyle wondered, as he turned around fully to face her while still several feet away.
"Why do you want to...." Kaiyle suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as he quickly began to feel the emotion that had plagued him earlier; guilt.
Who was he to question her request when he himself had an unexplainable love for the ocean.......besides, captured or not, the girl was still of prominence......and held a sweet naivety about her.......yet he had thrown her into the dungeon and caused her to catch an illness that could of killed her anyways.
His actions where harsh to say the least, and he knew it. So reluctantly Kaiyle cleared his throat, and took a few steps towards her.
"You need to rest. If you're better, in two hours time, then........i'll take you." he said lowly, before turning around and walking out the door.
----------
"Dear, i made the girl tea, would you like me to-" Kaiyle would cut Ema off as he walked by her and into the main lobby.
"-just give her whatever you want!" he snapped, before walking into the living room and slamming the doors shut behind him.
He'd button his shirt as he walked towards the couch.......before eventually flouncing down on it.
"What!? It's not as if i put her in there on purpose!....and knew she'd get sick the whole time, just to have a good laugh about it!!!" Kaiyle shouted aloud, in an argument with his own conscious.
"Great, now i'm talking to myself....." he thought, before pulling out his mobile device, calling Hanzel, and informing the guard to wake him in two hours time....

Ema was only slightly taken aback by Kaiyles snappish attitude, and simply shrugged it off before walking into the room with where the princess lay, and serving her the warm tea just made.
"Here you are dear, fresh off the stove" the cook said, placing the medium-sized silver kettle down on the night stand and then handing the girl a small silver cup filled with tea. "I promise it'll help you feel better"
For the next couple of hours Ema would serve not only tea, but fruit, small bread cookies, and crackers, to the young girl.........and would converse with the princess off an on, sharing little tid-bits about herself and the royal family here and there, before Hanzel would suddenly come in and call Ema out.
"I'll be right back hun, i think!" Ema said with a warm smile, before standing & walking outside the door.
"Ema, Kaiyle wishes to speak with you.....he's in the living room, here." said Hanzel, as he directed Ema towards the proper door.
"Thank you" she said, before entering the room.
----------
"Well, hello your highness....." she would say sarcastically, as she entered the room.......eventually taking a seat on a lavish love seat parallel from the couch.
Kaiyle had noticed the doors open and figured the shadow of a short thin frame on the floor, to be Ema.......his assumption was soon verified when she spoke, however he didn't sit up at the sound of her voice, and instead, crossed his arms behind his head and continued to relax on the couch....
.
"What did i tell you about that highness stuff Ema...." he said coolly.
"It's just a joke dear! Now, tell me why i was summoned.......you appear to be rather comfortable there.....where you sleeping?"
"I tried to......failed miserably of course. But that isn't what i called you here....."
He would go on to ask Ema to find something for Sakura to wear. Ema was shorter than the girl, but otherwise their size was quite similar, and he preferred Ema give her clothing, than he be forced to find her rags somewhere.
"Now Kaiyle, am i hearing concern in your voice?" Ema teased. The prince however showed no emotion when he responded.
"It's commonsensical.........why waste rags, when you have extra clothing."
Ema could of continued to poke fun at him, but instead she just smiled.....and agreed to bring down clothing for the young woman to wear.
"Before i leave though......should i bring multiple things down, and store them in the room? Or are you going to throw that poor sick girl in the watchtower, with Ringo and company??" she said slyly, hoping to guilt Kaiyle with her words, into letting the girl stay inside the palace a few days longer...................it worked.
"Whatever" he responded with a sigh, and after that......she left.
*-*-*-----------------------------------------*-*-----------------------------------------*-*-*
Fifteen or so minutes later, Ema would reappear in the room with the princess, pushing in a small armoir in front of her.
"Lovely news! You'll be staying here...........at least for the next few days!" she said, as she pushed the armoir in front of the larger one already in the room."I'm not quite your height, so my things might be a bit short on you..........but otherwise the fit should be close enough! And to start with, i brought you this.............."
Ema held up a beautiful white lace dress, with dark brown trimming
"I haven't had use for this, or half the things in that armoir, for decades..........but you, you're young.........so i'm sure these things would look beautiful on you..........albeit a different style than i'm sure you're use to in Apan." her voice trailed off towards the end of her sentence for a couple of reason. She of course felt bad for the girl being away from her family.......but it wasn't lost on her that this princess was indeed a prisoner, and being from the Kingdom of Merica, saying"Apan" naturally brought an uneasiness to her stomach. But she got over it quick enough, and began to speak again. "And if i remember this dress use to hit just below my knees......so it's likely to hit above yours"
Ema would place the dress on a chair close by, and then make her way back to the open door.
"When dressed, just come stand in the lobby............i'm sure Kaiyle won't be long."
And with that statement Ema shot the princess a final smile, before walking off towards the kitchen.
