Evankka liked it when Zane patted her head like that. Most people wouldn't dare lay a hand on a member of the royal family save for the occasional hand shake, in fear of having that hand chopped off, but Zane always treated her like a friend rather than a Princess. Eevie didn't care for having servants or bodyguards, she wanted to be seen as just another crew member, but she could feel others staring, and judging.
Though a bit naive, Evankka wasn't an idiot, she knew there were plenty of people who considered her to be an arrogant, spoiled little girl, but hopefully this trip would change how she was viewed, and she could return to her kingdom with a new set of allies.
Evankka, took the black veil from atop her head and tossed it to the side, deciding to embrace the sunlight, regardless of her fair skin. After all, she would be spending a lot of time in the sun, that was inevitable. Her black cherry colored hair was pulled up messily, having left too early for her lady servant to fix it up for her.
As she brushed a few strands from her face she noticed Zane looking a bit lost in thought, as he glanced down at her, she stared back at him, her bright purple eyes studying his, then she started giggling at how deep in thought he was, it was as if he was staring subconsciously and didn't even notice her staring back at him.
"If you like looking at me so much, I can have a portrait made for you to carry around." She stated amusingly. Her favorite thing about Zane was she could drop all formalities and actually have fun with him.
She then noticed what appeared to be a large monkey approach them. She opened her eyes wide, finding him quite fascinating, forgetting to say anything at all, she found herself just staring curiously.
