,, yes, my lady ?" Jongin entered the chamber brushing a few last hay remains off himself as he folded his hands behind his back ,, you have requested to see me ?"

She turned from the bed wearing merely her night wear which made jongin look the other way awkwardly before back onto her ,, I couldnt sleep "

He pressed his lips together looking through the window at the bright shining sun ,, well .. perhaps " he didnt want to seem rude or come off as insulting or mocking when instead he walked over closing the curtains.

,, it must be too bright ? Is that better ?"
She nodded laying down on the bed but still looking at him which made him a little uncomfortable yet again.
,, why dont you take a seat and relax "

He didnt answer and wanted to turn to sit by the table when she had grabbed his hand pulling him back gently to sit on the bed instead. She kept his hand in hers examing it.
,, I heard you've been training your sword skills ever since you started walking "

,, well .. Its true I've been holding a sword ever since I could remember. It almost feels as if it's a become a part of me that I cant live without " he admitted quite proudly as he pattened the sword by his hip before looking back onto her
,, I'm sorry this must have sounded a little weird"

,, not at all my prince, I think it's quite interessting how a man can hold something so close to the point where he feels like he couldnt be able to live without it " her smile was setting something off in jongin and he couldnt tell if he liked it or not ,, my father.. he didnt care about anything but his throne and the kingdom.. that's what he could not live without.. and that's what got him killed " her eyes looked away sadly.

,, I'm.. sorry "

,, isnt your mother sick aswell? Shouldn't you be by her side worried ?" Her eyes looked troubled as she sat up to look at him making him smile weakly at her sudden remark.

,, it's alright. She isnt as bad as people would like to say. I'm here to help my uncle out with his duties. You shouldn't worry about me. I'm sorry for what happened your father.. I'm sure he died as a hero"
He pat her hand instead smiling supportive at her as she did so too.

He was about to get up again when she moved closer to hug him.
,, thank you " 

Hesitant he hugged her back before they partened again and he watched her whipe over her teary eyes.
,, you should rest .. I will le-"
,, no " she stopped him once more holding his hand ,, I'm afraid i still feel a little shaken up about what had happened  ... could you ..  could you please stay until I fell asleep ?"

He blinked at her when he recalled how he had promised kyungsoo they would go for a ride again so that jongin could continue teaching him the basics of how to handle a sword

Yet royal business came before it. He knew that much.

Mentally he sighed while he smiled at her gently ,, ofcorse "
He would really rather be outside riding on his horse with kyungsoo complaining about him going too fast but it couldnt be helped. She was their guest afterall.
And she had probably went through hell to get here.
