Still dressed in her tomboyish out of pants and a tighter shirt, she thinks. "We look nothing alike, Fredrick. I think it's be best if we were a... Couple. "
"-Oh, buy me dinner first," the boy who calls himself Fredrik teases. "Sure, I suppose it would be better that way. In that case, we've known each other for three years now and have been dating for two. You~..." Fredrik looks down at himself and the boat. "...Aren't in it for the money, obviously."
"The region has a few nearby towns. Trade has its way of popping up around important cities so their's bound to be people for a bit." Fredrik looks around. "This river flows to a secluded place where we can regroup, though. We should be fine..."
Until then though, the boy proceeds to be just about the best actor ever as 'Darri' plays the girlfriend act and acting just like the low-income, nervous boy he is supposed to be. When they finally pass under trees for a few minutes, the boy finds a soft spot to disembark. It is muddy, and filled with bushes and other plant life, but it is better than a bunch of rocks in the way so he draws the oars back into the boat and jumps out to pull the boat up on the shore for the princess to get off safely.
"We should be fine for now. There's certainly going to be somebody hunting us but, for now, I think we can catch our breath..." The boy pauses for a moment..."My Lady"...and then turns around.
"My name is Gabriel."
"We're alone. You can drop the act, you know."
In truth, he had not thought this far forward. He had figured, 'YEAH-I'LL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO WHEN I GET THERE-NO PROBLEM'. But now he is here...and it is kind of a problem. "Well~, y'see...I don't exactly know." The boy has a stupid smile on his lips; one that says 'please don't kill me.'

To be honest, he had figured the princess would put up much more of a fight to leave than she did. Like...a lot more. But here she is now, following some random boy's orders to the tee, despite his look and lack of any sort of explanation.
