The group returned from the dungeon a week ago and nothing was out of the ordinary to them. They were eating, drinking and acting like nothing happened. To them it felt like hours had flew by but in reality, three whole weeks passed.

"I'm so sorry to hear that Sinbad, you must've felt terrible." The princess breathed.

"I wasn't just terrible, I was heartbroken." He replied. Just like Sinbad promised, he told the princess about his dungeon capturing experiences. Than the conversation changed to his life in Tison Village and how he started his journey to become king of his own country.

"I can't imagine what you have been through and I can't say anything since I don't know your pain." Sarnai sighed. Sinbad gave her a small smile.

"It's alright.." the two sat in the garden close to Sinbad's room. It was peaceful and quiet there. Nothing could disturb them. All sorts of plants covered the ground making everything look beautiful. An old fountain with a small swan on top stood in the middle of the garden with water coming out and hitting the dry surface of the embedded bowl in the ground, filling it up with water. The two sat on the soft grass staring at the star filled sky since not a cloud was seen.

Sarnai wore a purple strapless night gown with a burgundy robe draped over her arms to keep her warm. Sinbad on the other hand didn't have his jacket on, only his striped shirt and purple vest covering his upper body.

"Even though I didn't meet either of your parents, I know for a fact they would be proud." She said.

"Yeah I hope they are." Sinbad replied back.

"So what about you? Tell me about yourself." He added.

"Why would you want to hear about me? My life is boring compared to yours." The princess said.

"Well for one I've been talking about myself for too long, second I want to learn about you. Is that so surprising?" Said the sailor.

"Well Sinbad, what would you like know?" The princess knew he wanted to change the subject since it was getting pretty personal.

"About you in general, what you like to do for fun, favourite colour, stuff like that." Sinbad shrugged.

"Well I like to dance and paint when I have free time or have a break during my duties," said Sarnai.

"Really? Painting?" Sinbad asked.

"Why? Is that so surprising? A princess likes to paint?" Sarnai giggled.

"Yes and no, but please continue."

"As for my favourite colour... if you couldn't guess it, it's purple." She giggled as she pointed out her outfit.

"Why purple?" The sailor sounded so confused.

"Well cause it reminds me of my mother." She replied.

"Why?" Now it was Sinbad's turn to hear about the princess and he was excited.

"This might sound..how do you put it? Something out of a fairytale since that's what writers like to make as the main characters background. But.." the princess paused.

"The reason why purple is my favourite colour is because my mothers eyes were purple." She added.

"Really?!" The sailor asked intrigued. Sarnai nodded in response.

"So what happened to your mother?" He asked. Sarnai froze for a second before looking towards the sailor and answering.

"She passed away when I was six to an unknown illness. I barley remember her but the few things I remember about her is that her eyes were purple and that she loved to dance... I would always wish on anything, like a shooting star, or even a wishing well, wishing for purple eyes. I just thought they were so pretty." Sarnai giggled to herself.
