*Éowyn blushed deeply, then she stood up and curtseyed deeply, like the ladies of Rohan always greeted royal persons.*
"I am deeply honored to meet you, your Majesty. But I think you should have told me when we first met, so I could have been more polite to you."

*He lifted his gloved hand dismissively.*
"The title is not necessary. I am not there at the moment. If you must, lord is acceptable."
*He smoothed the lines of his coat deftly.*
"And why should I want you to behave differently for knowing? I would rather meet someone without a title."

*Lady Éowyn stood up again and looked at him with a smile, still blushing by the surprise he had given her.*
"As you wish, my lord. But I must say your way of thinking is most... unusual... for a man in your position."
*She lowered her eyes and added quietly*
"I find it very sympathetic."

*He shrugged slightly.*
"Over the years, such novelties run thin. It is less meaningful than it once was."

*She looked up at him, with her beautiful, blue eyes glittering in the light from the candles.*
"Can you tell me about how it was when it started?"

"Being a prince?" *He queried gently, not fully understanding her question.*

*Lady Éowyn smiled. This was not quite what she had meant, but this man fascinated her. He was so mystic, so.... different from the rohirrim. She blushed and lowered her eyes when she realized she was quite taken in with him already.*
"Well, yes. That too. Would you do me the honor of telling me about yourself, my lord?"

*Vlad grew quiet, his eyes distant. Then he re-centered and gave her a gentle smile.*
"It would seem that you already know me, lady. There would be little more to tell."

"Oh, I don't know you as much as I'd love to!"
*She blurted out. Then she blushed deeply and lowered her eyes, shocked at her own words.*
"I-I'm sorry, my lord. I didn't mean to..."

*He lifted his hand once more to stop her apology, then gestured to the chair next to him.*
"What exactly is it that you wish to know about me?"

*She sat down on the chair next to him, still deeply embarrassed by the way she had blurted out. Her cheeks were still blushing, and she did not dare to look at him.*
"Everything there is to know, monsieur. The story of your life, why you came to Paris..."
*She whispered shyly.*
If you are married or betrothed to someone...

*Vlad shook his head.*
"That is too long of a story to tell."
*He lowered his eyes in sadness.*
"And there are many parts that would not sit well in the ears of a lady."

*Lady Éowyn was unhappy when she discovered she had made him sad. Her heart was too young and innocent to think this could be a trick. She had no idea what kind of man who was seated beside her. She only saw a nice and quiet young gentleman who had treated her kindly, and now she had made him sad. She flew out of her chair and knelt in front of him, looking up at him. Her beautiful blue eyes seeked his eyes pleadingly.*
"Please forgive me, my lord. It was not my intention to hurt your feelings."

*He exhaled, shaking his head and taking her hand. Encouraging her to rise, he smiled faintly.*
"It is not you, sweet lady, but the past, that has left me wounded. You have not sinned against me."

*Lady Éowyn stood up again, but kept her hand in his. Still blushing, she looked at him with sympathy showing in her eyes. She had known a lot of pain in her own life. And that, she thought, allowed her to feel his pain as well.*
"I am glad I have not sinned against you, my lord. I have no desire to do so. Would you care to tell me about the past that pains you so much?"
*She looked at him, with a silent wish that she could give him some consolation in his pain.*
