Raven locks curled while and bit of it was braided around the base of the ponytail of curls as thought that was what held it up. A gentle lilac accented strong violet eyes greatly. The day sunny and cheery. She walked threw the garden and settled carefully on a bench. It had taken forever to get her maids and what not to leave her be and now she simply basked in the silence. But her mind couldn't help but slip away after Alec. Eyes closed as he came to mind. A smile faintly on her lips. Ok so lately she had been sneeking out for long times at a time and a lot more than normal. But in her mind it was for a good reason. Lilly was simply glad her uncle hadn't noticed it. Her maids sure did unfortunately. Maids tend to never miss anything sadly.

It had been a few weeks since Axel had arrived here. In those weeks, he finally got to know Alanna enough to find the perfect time to sneak off. Of course he made sure to leave a clue for her to know he hadn't been kidnapped or killed. Now he was in the gardens, laying on one of the stone ledges beside a pond. Eyes closed as he baked in the sun. He remembered how it rained more here then back at home, he liked being out in the sun.
As he laid there, he allowed his skin to flicker to its other covering. His dark scales glowed with a blue tint as he laid there in the sun. His snake like skin always felt good in the sunlight, just like a real snake would. Hands were resting behind his head as one leg was straight and the other was bent at the knee. He had been listening to everything in the garden when he heard the sound of foot steps then someone sitting. Eyes opened to reveal their crystal blue color. Looking upside down, he saw the other sitting on the bench. She didn't seem to notice him, but he wasn't moving either. It was Lilly. He had seen her a few times but never talked to her.

After a long moment she slowly let her eyes open face lifted to the sun. A soft sigh escaped her. She looked about for the first time and squeaked in surprise seeing him and quickly put a hand over her lips blushing thinks how possitively stupid she must have sounded squeaking like some little mouse. Ckearing her throat she shifted her possition and smoothed her skirt. Violet eyes on him once more. Head cocked to the side as it was when she considered something. "You must be... Um Axel right", she said in her soft sweet tones figuring she had yet to meet him so he must be the prince he heard of by the maids gossip. The maids know everything....Its like a conspercicy. (sorry lol had to)

(hahaha)
When she looked over finally and saw him he gave a smile before shifting his weight so he was laying on his stomach, arms folded in front of him holding him up. He let his normal skin filter back into place as he was repositioning himself. "Yeah, that would be me.. And you're Lilly." Hanging out with the guards he can hear some interesting stories. Like about her sneaking out, getting close with a killer's son. That was actually a rumor but it was still fun to listen to.
His blue eyes looked over her. She looked like any normal princess, but the stories beg to differ. "So, from what I've heard, you are a complete trouble maker?" He chuckled softly as he waited for her to reply.

Lilly had noticed his skin but no comment was made, She was used to the weird and unlikely. Nodding at his words of labeling her Lilly. She gave her normal smile as he spoke again a twinkle of mischief in her eyes. "I beg to differ. I am simply curious.... Well sometimes that gets me in trouble but still", she said tugging a curled lock absent mindedly.

She seemed to fit the stories when she answered. He shifted again so he was sitting normally with his legs over the edge of the stone edge, resting back on his palms as he continued to watch the princess. "Curious? 'Bout what?" He couldn't quite see what there was to be curious about since he had seen everything mostly having to do with the outside towns and such. At home he could go out whenever and not have to worry about anything. But here was different, and times had changed since then as well.

Looking at him surprised she stood with ease and grace. Looking up at the sky. "The world, the people who live, life in general", she replied. Taking a step to him she smiled. "There is much more to life than servents and castles, and all this boring stuff. And don't scold me and say that I am stepping out of my place", she said playfully. Simply in a good mood. Taking a step back with a little twirl. So she was a happy person so what.

He shook his head. "Well, it is fun out there... I hate not being able to just go out like I used to." When she got up and twirled he laughed. "Ok, so rumor has it that you're 'close'" yes, he used the quotation motion.. "to a thief's son?" He wanted to know if that was true since it was bugging him. He wasn't one to like criminals and yes sometimes he believes it can run down families. He wasn't saying that out loud though.

Lilly smiled brightly and stopped at his words. "Rumors", she cocked her head. Shrugging. "Maybe maybe not what would it matter. How do I know I would be able to trust you cousin o' mine", she asked proping her hands on her hips in a rather motherly like fashion. Scowld and all. But it was all play of course.

He raised his brow at this and gave a sly look. "You don't." he couldn't help but smile quickly after though. At the mention of being cousins that got him thinking to. How in the freakish name of flowers was he related to her. He was the nephew to the king in some odd way, making him related to Lilly in some odd way. But that was a lot of questions to ask. So he just skipped over it. "I just wanna know since I spend lots of time around the guards and they talk about a lot of stuff.. thats one of the things and I was just wondering."

Lilly eyed him closely. A small twirl and lowreed her-self in the grass skirts flard around her neatly. It would have made another lady faint the moment she saw it and kill a maid. Yet Lilly seemed at peace with it. Plucking a blade of grass. "Fine, fine. Just don't tell ok. I might have a thing for him. Might", she said of course it was a half lie. She had fallen for the rough edged young man quickly.

Sitting and watching her, he couldn't help but feel completely better than the guards since he knew that it was true and they didn't. So he stood up and sat down in front of her. "Ok, so this guy you 'might' have fallen for. What got his name so big?" He wasn't used to having all the crime and such around. His home had been pretty quite, till of course his family got assassinated but he didn't think about that subject for more than a few seconds.

Lilly looked at him and leaned back hands braced to hold her up. Looking at him she raised a brow and leaned forward instead. "He only steals to survive really. The real crime was his fathers. A real piece of work if you ask me..", she stopped. She just told him she had meet the man before. "He's a good guy. I wouldn't look at him twice if he wasn't", she informedhim speaking of Alec of course.

Listening to her talk about the guy, he was pretty sure she was 100% on his side. He didn't have a problem with that though. He tried to keep his grudge against law breakers from judging everything he thought about them. "Well then it doesn't sound as bad as people make it seem.." He wasn't going to completely make a decision if it was good or bad from his point of view. He hadn't even met the dude. "So, what do you do for fun around here?"

Lilly fiddleded with the hem of her dress as he spoke. Nodding at his words eyes on him. Suddenly getting to her feet shaking her skirts out. "Oh in the castle I toy with the maids. Such faintly things. Get a bit og grass in your hair and they screem. Or you could go to lessons though those are dull. When Uncle has his balls dancing is fun. Ridding is the most fun you'll have in the walls. Now If you'll go out with me I can show you loads", she said taking his hand and giving it a tug. "Oooo lets go for a ride I can show you around then", she said excitedly. You could say she was in a really good mood today then.
