"Why would you apologize for who you are?"
Ethan's hand flew upwards to gently stroke her hair.
"I was merely taken by surprise. It's a pleasure, Isabelle. I'm Ethan, magician. Sorry to say that I don't have as fancy a title."

Isabelle blushed as the handsome magician started stroking her hair. Her heart skipped a beat by his gentle touch.
"I am used to people keeping distance from me because of the stupid titles. I don't want that. For me, they are only empty words."
She looked up at him, smiling.
"You are a MAGICIAN??? Like, a wizard or sorcerer? You can do magic?"
Stars of admiration was lit in her beautiful eyes.

"Not necessarily that sort of magic, but magic enough."
With that, he clasped his hands together and opened them to release an entire flock of doves into the vast expanse of sky.

Isabelle brightened up in a shiny white smile quite unusual for people from the 12th century. She clapped her hands eagerly.
"That was great! Is it hard to become a magician?"

"It's not difficult if you truly put your mind to the task," Ethan winked.
He was pleased that he had cheered up Isabelle and excited her interest.

Isabella blushed and looked up at him, shyly.
"Do you think, you could show me more magic? Please?"

"Let's see," he muttered under his breath.
Ethan blew on his apparently empty hands, only to cause a whirlwind of a sparkling substance. It settled and was no more.

Isabelle brightened up once more, admiring the whirlwind of sparkling substance.
"Awwww, it's beautiful.... I wish I could do anything like that.."

"You could," Ethan said, twiddling his fingers.
"But I'd have to ruin the secret of the trick. And that's really the whole point of magic, isn't it?"

Isabelle lifted her tiny hand, as to stop him from further explanations.
"Please. If this is only a trick, I don't want to know about it. I only want to enjoy the sight of it, the beauty, the magnificence."

Ethan grinned in thanks for her understanding.
"So, are you being sought out by 'them', even as we speak?"

Isabelle smiled back.
"I suppose so. I was supposed to be in England now, marrying a king John who has wanted me as his wife already in my childhood."
She shuddered.
"I panicked of course. And fled from England in a ship."

"I don't blame you. It's terrible being forced with someone we don't love."
Ethan held her face up to his.
"But I also believe it's terrible being forced apart from someone we love."

Isabelle was happy to meet someone who understood her motives for running away. When Ethan held her face up to his, she blushed deeply as her eyes met his.
"F-forced apart from s-someone we love? I-in what way do you mean???"

As if to speak, Ethan opened his mouth, but his voice died in his throat. Suddenly downcast, the young man merely shook his head and threw his gaze to the ground at her feet.
He waved the matter away.
"Oh, it's naught but a silly notion, Miss Isabelle."
