Arik wasn't sure where to look when Rae began to strip down to her bikini, and was somewhat grateful when the door opened and a pretty girl came into the room. True, she wasn't in Rae's league but she was pretty enough. She was carrying a tray with a large jug, two goblets and a large bowl of grapes. So she was another member of the staff.

"My Lady, I have brought you some food, you had quite a morning so I thought you might be hungry," She explained, placing the tray down on Rae's bed.

"Thank you Nile and remember you can call me Rae when my father's not around," Rae said, taking a handful of grapes. Nile looked over to Arik, smiling at him.

"Hello, I'm Nile, the princess's maid, and you are?" Arik heard Rae dive into the water and Arik took a quick glance at the princess from the corner of his eyes. The phrase 'if looks could kill' popped into Arik's head.

"I am Arik, the princess's slave," He smiled politely, "a pleasure to make your acquaintance Miss Nile," He said bowing his head, trying not to laugh at Rae's reaction to Nile.
