"Er…" Savannah seemed to be frozen for a moment before curtseying politely. "At your service, sir. I do apologize for any trouble I may have caused here… I promise it was not intentional."

"Ah, no. I felt that I was rude." Damian bowed but it felt unnatural and he was stiff. *This is so weird." His long hair covered his eyes and his clothes were definitely something a noble wouldn't wear. So there is no way she would know. "Um, you don't have to ear that. It's probably nothing like a professional chef's meal."
(This is Damian when he's well put together. https://pin.it/cqvwhf4n7a3pnq)

"Your Majesty," Georgiana began, "I really think it would be best for us to leave now."

"All right, Georgiana… I'm coming. Thank you for everything, sir." Savannah curtsied again, taking a piece of food on the go and leaving the silver coins from before on the table. "I hope we meet again!" She waved to Damian as Georgiana and Marcus dragged her out back to the castle.

As soon as she stepped foot outside the restaurant, Georgiana felt better. She hated meeting new people, and she had just talked, loudly, in front of several. She felt shaky, but was careful not to let her motions show.

Riverpaw jumped down from the window sill, going around the corner to watch Savannah and the two people that where leading her out and away from the building. Is she okay? She looks okay. The sound of her stomach rumbling reminded her why she had come to this particular building in the first place, and she went around to the back, climbed up the small stairs, and gently clawed at the back door. She'd come here sometimes, and there was always a chance that one of the humans who made the food inside would bring something out for her.

Marcus walked behind the Princess and Georgiana, a serious look on his face. His job now was to protect the princess.

Savannah sighed and put her hood up to shield her face. No one was really supposed to know she was here. She wasn’t particularly looking forward to seeing her parents again after running off like she did.

(Okie)

_{(wait what are their names)}

_{(uh idk let's say king Caspian and queen Lillian right off the top of my noggin)}

_(dope)

_{(I'll let you go ahead with that)}

_{(okie dokie)}

Queen Lillian paced in front of her husband, worry etched onto her normally calm face. "Please, dear, calm down. Just for a moment?" King Caspian said, pinching the bridge of his nose. He was worried about their daughter as well, but he just as frustrated, and his wife wasn't helping at all. Said woman only glanced at him. "How can I? This is the third time she has wandered out into the city, and this time it was because of us!" She rubbed her head, barely noticing the smudge of makeup on the back of her hand. "What if she's been hurt? Or- or kidnapped? Or found her way out of the city entirely!? She's not in the right state of mind right now, w-what if-"
"Your majesties, the Princess has been spotted at the front of the castle!"
The king and queen turned to the guard that had walked into room. "She is with Lady Georgiana and one of our knights."
Without a word, Lillian grabbed the sides of her dress and rushed out and towards the front halls, with Caspian and the guard right behind her.

Savannah stopped at the gates with Georgiana and Marcus when she saw that her parents were coming down to meet them. She kept her hood up, but her posture was still as proper as it always had been. She was glad that her face was partially covered by the hood, as it hid her tears. What do they care if I stay or go? My opinion means nothing to them. A silent tear rolled down her cheek, but she had resigned to not speak until her parents spoke to her.

Georgiana stiffened at the sight of the king and queen. They always made her nervous. Still, she was determined not to leave the princess's side. She would need support during this difficult time.

Lillian ran up to her daughter, hugging her tightly as Caspian dismissed the guard back to his post. Lillian pulled Savannah's hood back, checking her face for any injuries. "Oh, sweetie, are you okay? Where did you go? Did you talk to anyone? Did any strange men approach you?" She didn't stop for a second even as she wiped the poor girl's tears away and hugged her again. She could be angry later.
The king, on the other hand, watched silently, trying not to make his irritation obvious with other people around. "Savannah." He said, giving her a look that he knew she'd hated to see.

(I'm eating rn, so I'm gonna be slow for a bit probably)

"Yes, father? Or would you prefer I just call you 'your majesty'?" Savannah's tone sounded respectful, but there was a slight hint of bitterness laced beneath the surface. "In response to your questions, mother, as good as I can be given the circumstances, the town, yes, and yes again. Not that it matters, though."

Georgiana widened her eyes in disbelief. What was the princess doing?

Caspian narrowed his eyes, but ignored his daughter's sharp tongue and put a hand on his wife's shoulder, gently attempting to pull her back. "Let her go, dear, we need to go inside. And talk." He said. Lillian took a deep breath, or two or three, then cleared her throat. "Yes, right." She turned to Georgiana, her formal stature returning. "Thank you, Georgiana, for bringing my daughter back safely." She smiled at Savannah, kissed her forehead, and turned to head back into the castle. The king nodded to Georgiana, then followed the queen.

Georgiana curtsied politely before following quickly. She wasn't sure that she was wanted any more, but she figured that if they closed the doors on her, she could always pretend to clean them.

Savannah followed them inside silently, not even regretting what she'd said to her father. He didn't care about her feelings, so why should she care about his? She took off her hood once they went inside and smoothed her hair down with one hand.

Marcus, after being dismissed by the king, returned to the guard barracks.
(Idk what else to do with him…)

The king and queen and led the way through the halls, going up the stairs to get to the master bedroom. Lillian slowed a bit to walk beside Georgiana. "Georgiana, I would like you to stay in the room when my husband and I speak to our daughter. You have always been her best emotional support and…well, she is going to need you for the talk we are about to have." She smiled at the young lady. "That is, of course, as long as you are comfortable with that."

"Yes, of course, Your Majesty," Georgiana replied politely, glad to be able to stay with the princess.

Lillian smiled and settled for keeping Georgiana's pace. Ahead of them, Caspian was almost grumbling to himself out loud thinking of the best ways to go about the next hour or so. Savannah, as expected, was not happy about having to marry so soon. Or at all, as far as he knew. But it was expected of her, as the future ruler of their kingdom, and it somehow still baffled him why she would be so upset about that. Did she not want to rule? Did she not want a king? It was wrong of him to assume that she would, he supposed, but still.
His thoughts were interrupted by Lillian calling his name. "Sweetie, you nearly walked into the door."
Caspian blinked, realizing just how close his face was to the intricately-designed wood. He sighed and backed away to open the door for the ladies, ordering two passing guards to keep watch and make sure no one disturbed them.
