She sighed dreamily. “You’ve spoken with my father I assume?”

"Yes, for an hour. It was quite boring." he sighed

“Well, I would be surprised if it wasn’t,” She stood up and kept walking, glancing back to see if Christopher was following. The sun was dipping on the horizon, the bright shade of blue slowly turning darker.

Christopher followed her closely through the gardens. He stayed quiet mostly.

“We will have to meet in the dining hall soon,” She continued until she reached a fountain, made of marble and glass it stood in the exact center of the gardens. The slightly blue tinted water burbled, but not in a violet way, more a calm.

"Yes, it seems it has gotten late. Dinner will probably be starting soon." he said to her then splashed water at her.

(I didn’t even realize it sent already, Sorry. Lol)
“Hey!” She splashed water back at him and ran to the other side of the fountain.

"I see you are running now? hope you don't fall. I know you are wearing heels." he joked

“I need to be trained to survive in these things, I won’t fall,” She laughed.

"Sad, I can't imagine ever wearing them they seem very uncomfortable." He said to her.

“Well originally men wore heels to appear taller and more formidable,” She shot back.

"Maybe because those guys were insecure about their height and didn't feel confident. Is it now like that with girls?" he joked at her.

“In 15th century Persia, soldiers wore them to help better secure the feet to stirrups and then Persian immigrants wore the shoe trend to Europe and soon nobles wore the shoes and decided to only allow noble men to wear them. And no it’s not, thank you, we only wear them because it is our stereotype and is required, apparently.” She said. “Just like dresses and the color pink. Originally boys wore dresses and pink,”

"That I know, it was until wwii because of some events that happened during and preceding the war."

“I already am bored of talking about this,” She laughed. “To the dining hall,” She walked in the direction of a large hedge maze.

He smiled a little then followed her to the dining hall, not actually knowing the location.

“Let’s hope I remember whether to turn left or right,” She said, mainly to herself. She entered the maze, and checked to make sure he was following. “Don’t get yourself lost in here since I hope you’d like to have dinner today and not next week,”

"Why don't we just go back the way we walked in?" He asked her making sure to be right behind her. "also… WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A FULL ON MAZE HERE?"

“The dining hall is a separate building, and the maze is a mandatory safety piece,” She said. “To complete the maze when you have never been or haven’t mapped it out would take around a week more or less. If you use it almost daily, like me, it should take about 3-4 minutes,”

"….Intriguing." He said then nodded and looked around as they walked.

“Does no other kingdom do this?” She asked. She turned right, into a dead end. She started to feel around the edges of the hedge. Her fingers latched onto a metal bar and she pulled. “Before you answer that, please don’t do anything sudden,”

He nodded. "Um why?"

“Beca-“ She was cut off as the trap doors opened, and the trap doors so happened to be the ‘floor’. Kieara quickly picked up her skirts and braced herself to land in her heels. Her feet hit the floor a bit hard and a jolt ran through her. She dropped her skirts and brushed out the wrinkles.

Christopher ended up in a sitting position when he landed and immediately stood up, "What was that."
