Two days went by like a whirl to Lonán as he tried to sort out his newfound condition. He was falling in love, and he was unsure how to approach the source of said affections yet. For one, she was a Princess, or will be, at any rate. He didn’t want to scare her or ruin the already budding friendship they might have.

That didn’t matter for now as he listened to the Plan at hand and nodded whenever Josephine spoke about the steps, to let her know he was listening to her. He was also listening to the sound of his beating heart when she said she agreed with how both vengeance and justice had to be achieved. Lonán had to fight his blush thoroughly to ensure he wasn’t looking strange.

He liked how the plan was laid out. He listened to Josephine apologize about putting it together without their consent which made him smile. When she asked for help, he felt his heart begin to melt. He returned her bow with one of his own. ”You don’t need to ask. I was at the ready to help you several nights ago, and I stand ready to be at your aid now.” He said. ”Whilst I do not know what compensation or favor to ask of you, I do hope we can help you further if this mission succeeds.”

He was sorely tempted to speak about his father’s gambling debts. To ask if there was a way to relieve it. But he wasn’t sure he’d want to cause any trouble in Triveila’s economy for it if he had to. He also was nervous to speak of anything else on his mind, mainly his growing infatuation for Josephine. He knew he had to talk to her at some point about it, that much was certain.

”Heresta help us all.” He thought, as his cheeks began to turn rose red.
