The World of Rhune

Zayde smiled, once again, and noticed his cheeks hurt somewhat from smiling so much at her small laughter. He could tell though that she didn’t trust him, but he did wonder about the family friend part, he didn’t realize the nobles were that close, though he’d heard of something similar between Xirra and Ralea. “So your parents know the Prince?.” he sat back and folded his arms, cocking his head sideways as if looking at her from a different angle. “Now you’re just playing with me, though I think saying ‘the prince’ was the first time I’ve used his name so leniently.” Zay rolled his shoulders back a bit, and noticed he was starting to feel clammy again. Crap, no, not now! He thought, but kept his worry from filling his face. He could hold onto reality for a while longer, or just excuse himself easily. He kept an easy smile on his face, something that didn’t take much to make, and wondered if he could ask her about her books, he recognized a favorite of his. His eye flickered for a heartbeat to the book, back to Hannah, and the went back to the book. He wasn’t much of a sappy reader, but when he did read one he normally was ecastic about them, which included the one infront of him. He turned his attention back to Hannah, though, and wondered whether he would be able to make her more comfortable and lead her away from anymore bad prying. He still wanted a bit of her story though, and from the way she was acting he was interested in the way she was brought up and how diplomatic it was.
