↘ 𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐇𝐔𝐑𝐓 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 ? 𝐈𝐌 𝐒𝐎 𝐒𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐘 ! ﹕ for lila , from aspen .
the walk, aspen soon enough comes to find out, happens to be rather boring. sure, the flowers look pretty - but they look as pretty as they did yesterday. her gaze lays on the greenhouse at the far end of the rather large gardens: her end goal, where she often spends most of her days. still, today, she finds herself hoping for more. today, there is a guest! a very tall, quite beautiful guest!
gods, apsen hopes that she is making a good impression!
not that it matters, anyways. she knows that things like good impressions are rather trivial when it comes to her. she is the princess of aurevia, she is a courtemanche: that her first impression. one that will follow her up until she breathes her last breath.
the breath that does fly past her lips isn't her last, but it is sharp and filled with surprise. "did they not teach you how to walk in that knight school of yours?" she asks once fully pulled out of her reveries, and while it should sound terribly rude, she somehow makes it sound light and playful. her hands against her dress are as soft as her tone, attempting to get rid of any crease that might have formed.
"maybe this is a sign that you should walk closer! you don't have to be so far. . . how would that work, anyway? what if someone attacks me from there?" she halts in her steps, pointing at an empty bush. "or there." she adds, pointing now at the tree above them.
"huh. i guess that is a rather good question to ask. how would you handle it? hmm?"

↘ 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐄 ﹕ for lila , from aspen . starring: aspen courtemanche and lila moonstone. ( @h-ironos )
it was inevitable for her to get to this moment. she knew as she grew up that there would a time for tighter security. she never truly understood what said security would imply: well - she had some sort of idea. someone to follow her around everywhere, to accompany her through her many boring ( but important ! ) duties, to maybe - hopefully - throw a punch or two if necessary.
they let her know that it is all in process a month or so before their first meeting, but even before that, aspen had her mind set. and like it often goes, all she must do is ask. she mentions the red hair, like the knight is a blazing flame to which the princess strangely is the moth. she mentions the armour to them, too, how polished it always seems in contrast to the others.
moonstone is the knight's name. even that sounds noble.
though she does expect more of a . . . glamourous meeting. certainly not one where she has to force herself awake, resisting the urge to rub her eyes away from the remaining sleep that lay within them. regardless, her smile could not be wider as she stares down at the knight before her. her knight - oh! - how exciting! her very first knight!
her mind roars with imagination as she steps closer, much - much closer, almost as if examining her brand new trinket. "definitely up to my standards." is the first real thing aspen says, not caring for the silence she breaks and even less of the people in the room staring at them. a widened gaze lands on her knight's hair and the small part of her lips happens. she stares at the red of it in awe, in wonder.
"thank you, my dear commander. you have yet to disappoint my family." she grins over at him, twirling in place and enjoying the way the fabric of her dress follows. "well, as exciting as this has been, i must be off for my morning walk! i've had many riveting dreams to reminisce on." aspen adds, her smile not falterring once.
"i shall be left alone." she explains ever so kindly to the commander, hand resting against the gold of their chest plate lightly, fleetingly. she begins to walk towards the exit then, only to stop after a few steps and look back, her piercing but awed gaze setting on her knight.
"well? are you coming?"
