[There might be laughter in his voice, but if there is it's only because it's so perfectly fitting for her. He's always known she was royalty, because something about her screams it with every inch of her body, with the softness to her eyes and smiles, with the light that's always radiated out from her. Even without these memories, she'd obviously been a princess.]

I think if you want it, knights can wear anything you want. We are at your service, after all.

[There's a mischievous smirk on his face and he glances over to make sure she sees it--he doesn't want her to take those words as an opportunity to fret more when he's meaning them in a much sillier sort of way!]

[Ari doesn't think of herself as anything special-- not in the slightest. But even she understands the position she's in. Perhaps moreso than anyone else in her family... If Ari had been born penniless, it wouldn't have changed a thing. She is always, always looking to better the world around her. She'll always channel her energy into other people, it's just what she does.

Whether that makes her a decent royal is yet to be seen, but she's certainly trying.]

Hmm... I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[He's trying to keep the mood light and she appreciates that. Kissing people is dangerous while driving though, so she settles for resting a hand on the back of his shoulder.]

[It's a gesture that makes him smile, and if she'll let him, he'll rest his free hand on her knee. Sure, he needs to shift from time to time, but it's another point of contact and he can gently rub his thumb over his knee as he presses:]

That wasn't the only thing you were worried about, was it?

[uncagedbird]

[Despite his pressing, she doesn't sink into herself or panic. She knows as much as he does that sometimes she needs a little bit of a nudge.]

No...

[She closes her eyes for a moment.]

I have a lot of questions. About why I was trying to go back, and about why I left in the first place... It obviously wasn't anything official, since I had to hide my identity and we didn't have any identification.

I have a bad feeling about all of it.
