*She stepped daintily through the doorway.*
"Thank you."
*She looked him up and down for a moment, a puzzled look on her face. He'd cut his hair- it now fell loosely around his shoulders, and his clothing was far from his usual immaculate perfection. It was odd- not bad, but certainly not normal.*
"You look, er. Different."

*She crossed her arms, irritated.*
"Thank you. And he's very sorry," *she said. And he was, she knew. Even if he wouldn't actually say it.*

*She sighed impatiently.*
"Don't be like that. He wants- I want you to come back to the castle. So we can get rid of any misunderstandings."

"Herbert," *she said, her voice halfway between pleading and warning.*
"If you'll just come for dinner-"

"I'm very happy where I am!" he snapped.
