Hobbes grinned at Krystalia as she tended to Sugarfoot.

Ooc:// Sorry, I have serious Writer's Block.

Krystalia gathered Sugarfoot's bath gear, and lead him to where the stable boys usually washed the horses. She knew Hobbes was watching her, but waited until after she started bathing her horse to say anything. "Are you gonna stand there and watch me tend to my horse all day, sir knight?" Krystalia teased, flicking a little bit of water and soap in his direction. She was smiling back at him.

Ooc:// That's fine. Don't worry about it. Happens to all of us. =)

Hobbes laughed and wiped the water away. "Of course not, m'lady. I would be happy to assist you." he said and walked over to her.

Sugarfoot snorted at Hobbes. "Sorry, don't mind him. No one else has ever bathed him before. Tell you what, you can relax and watch that part and then help with the brushing. Sound good?" Krystalia was smiling from ear to ear. He's so sweet!

"Sounds good." Hobbes repeated and nodded. Then gave her a soft smile.

Krystalia laughed as Sugarfoot did his best to ensure she got a bath too. "You got me soaked!" She exclaimed once he was finally clean. Sugarfoot whinnied in response, obviously pleased with himself. Krystalia looked over towards Hobbes. "Do you still want to help groom Sugarfoot after seeing how much of a handful he is?" There was an affectionate playfulness to her voice, and a loving smile was reflected in her eyes.

Hobbes smiled and approached her. "Of course, anything for you, Krystalia." he said with a small bow.

Krystalia blushed and smiled, looking away slightly. Sugarfoot rolled his eyes and pushed her towards Hobbes. Krystalia let out a sound of surprise. "Sorry!" she exclaimed, worried Sugarfoot had pushed her into Hobbes's personal space.

Hobbes laughed, then pulled her closer. "It's no problem, m'lady."

Krystalia blushed harder and giggled. I have no idea what I should be doing right now. I've never liked one of my suitors before... I like being this close to him though... Wait! Is he even one of my suitors yet?

ooc:/ Sorry, writer's block.

Hobbes suddenly got really nervous and started to blush. "U-um, Krystalia," he started. "C-can I kiss you?"

Ooc:// It's alright.

Krystalia giggled and kept looking quickly between Hobbes and the ground. "I'd umm... I'd... really like that..." She smiled at him lovingly and bit her lower lip a little. Then a nervous look slowly crept into her eyes and face. "Umm... Hobbes... Have you... Have you asked Father if you can court me yet?..." I wish we didn't have to deal with these politics, but I could never forgive myself if I destroyed the strong kingdom and trust in the crown Father has built...

Hobbes looked down sheepishly. "No...I-I haven't yet." he stuttered.

Krystalia gently placed her hand under his chin and lifted his head. "It's okay, Hobbes. All that means is I can't kiss you yet, no matter how much I want to. We will be able to in time though. I promise." Her voice was soft and filled with love. Krystalia glanced around and exchanged looks with Sugarfoot before quickly kissing Hobbes on the cheek. She smiled at him before grabbing one of the brushes to begin grooming her horse.
She's so lucky I was keeping an eye out for them Sugarfoot thought.

Hobbes looked at the ground, then at the castle looming a little ways away. "I'm going to go talk to your father, if you don't need my help here." he announced.
