The halls are silent, and eerily quiet the only sound being our footsteps.

And a pair of whispering retorts of course.

"I think you have lost your sanity, along with your humanity. Why are you still following me?"

"Because my destination is the same as yours."

"My bed is my destination. So your going to sleep with me?" I meant it literally, but it looks like her took it the 'other' way.

"You slutty whore," he mumbled, looking at me disgusted.

"Oh says you. I meant as if you were just going to literally 'sleep with me' not having sex, you shameless wench," I bounced back, and he covered his face, ashamed.

"Well you made it sound like that, you don't even know how to phrase your sentences properly," he said.

"Not my fault you think such dirty thoughts," I smiled.

"You demonic thing."

"Shut your mouth you talk too much."

"Is that a request or an order? Because I follow neither. Especially if they're coming from you."

"Well than it looks like you're no better than a stray dog."

"I'm very sure I am a living breathing human thank you."

"You might as well go visit an physician."

"I shall not."

I swear to all the gods above, I have never met more of an annoying dog, than this one. And ironically it's still humiliating to the dogs to even compare this thing to whatever it is.

All I wanted was a good night's rest. Which was purely disturbed by repetitive thoughts of Mr. Princeling over here. And now I'm stuck with his company. Lovely.

"Do you ever stop barking? Like ever? This is a general question," I whip around sharply to face him.

"Around you? Of course not? There's just too much to point out."

"Like?"

"Well how you are an arrogant, snobbish, brat, and that you enjoy staring at naked men like a perverted freak, and-,"

"You were the one that popped up naked in front of me, and why would I stare at them and be perverted those things on your chest look like--."

"They are abs, for your information your dumb highness. And they look like what?"

"Tin cans," They really did look like tin cans now I was being honest, they really did.

"Have you gone mad?" He asked, quickly buttoning up his shirt.

"What did you expect me to say? They looked sexy? I don't remember the last time where I found tin cans sexy," I replied.

"You insane buffoon," he huffed, looking at me like I'd just grown a pig snout, and bird wings-- actually no he would laugh at that. He was looking more-- horrified? Yes horrified, that would be something I would laugh at, which I infinitesimally prefer.

"Now if you would present me the utmost honor of leaving me to travel to the rest of my destination," I ushered towards my chamber doors, "Or would you like to join me?"

"I do not appreciate the offer, and so no. I shall be leaving your royal blockhead to rest," he gave an exaggerated bow, which was more him flopping halfway down to the ground.

"Oh I bet you were tempted to take it," I grinned.

"No."

"Of course, of course. I believe you to be an honest, kind gentleman, who does nothing but show up halfway naked in the gardens in the middle of the night yes?"

"Indeed," he shrugs.

"Idiot," I mumble under my breath, and enter my chambers, slamming the doors behind me. I hear the sound of laughter, and this time I'm not so annoyed. Though there is still something that bothers me.

My thank you wasn't the best.

It is true, he did save me from utter humiliation, he at least deserves a proper thank you. I take a deep breath and step out into the hall way again.

"Wait," I call out. Taking another deep breath. He turns around.

"Miss me already princess?"

"Shut up," I grumble. I take one final deep breath, and finally say it, "Thank you for saving me from utter damnation back in the gardens, I really mean, and am very grateful towards you."

I have my eyes squeezed shut and breath held, waiting for him to laugh, or hit some dumb joke, but all there is, is silence. I peek open one eye to find him staring at me, he's studying me in a curious way, meeting my gaze he smirks.

"Anytime princess, anytime," he turns around and starts walking back.

I walk back into my room, and plop myself on my bed. It still doesn't seem like I'll be getting any sleep tonight. So much for sneaking off.

And it's all thanks to that damned princeling.
