Suddenly, a drunken man approached Savannah. “Hey, little lady.” He said in a slurred voice. “H-Hello, sir.” She said nervously. “How bout you and me head on over to my place?” Savannah’s heart was racing. “Uh… no thank you, but… t-thanks for the offer?” The man grabbed Savannah’s wrist and pulled her closer to himself. “I’m not taking no for an answer.” “Sir! P-Please… trust me, you don’t want to do this.” Savannah tried to free herself to no avail. They were causing a bit of a commotion now, and people were watching them.
Marcus smiled at her blush.
Damian heard the commotion and walked over. He ripped Savannah from the drunken mans grip. "May I help you Sir?" Even though it might make her uncomfortable, but he kept her hand in his and made sure she was standing close. Damian was taller than most, so he towered over the man.
“Yeah. You can back off.” The man looked side to side for backup, but he had none. After a few moments he just muttered something under his breath and walked away, leaving Savannah and Damian. Savannah had mostly kept her composure, but her hands were noticeably shaking.
Marcus had looked up at the ruckus, but he didn't realize it was coming from where the princess was.
Riverpaw's ears tilted to the sounds of commotion from inside the building, but it was muffled. She stood up and went to the side of the building, jumping - with a bit of struggle - up onto a small window sill and searching for Savannah. She narrowed her eyes when she saw the girl, who looked nervous, as well as a man standing next to her and another man walking away from them. What happened?
Georgiana heard a yell from inside the building and immediately opened the door. Again, she was acting without thinking. She took Marcus by his wrist and hurried inside the building, in case the princess was in danger.
"Wha-? Where are we going?!" Marcus asked as Georgiana as she dragged him along.
"I… heard a yell…" Georgiana replied, looking around. As soon as she realized what she was doing, she removed her hand, but kept walking until she saw the princess.
Marcus followed suit. When he spotted the princess, he made a move as if to bow.
Damian moved to the side to give Savannah space. "You okay?" He asked as he set the bowl soup on the table. She was small, but Damian was impressed with how well she stood her ground.
"Princess!" Georgiana cried as she saw her. "Are you all right?"
"Yes, thank you…" Savannah smiled weakly. She glanced over at Damian with a nervous air, as well as the other customers. None of them knew she was the princess until now.
Damian's eyes were drawn to the loud voice, but as soon as he saw who she was looking at he followed her eyes. "Princess?" Was she really the Princess? The one he was supposed to marry. Now he really was in trouble. He was supposed to meet her a few weeks ago. How was he going to explain he was the Prince and looked like this. Wait, that's only if she does find out.
"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.
(Bump. Btw is anyone interested in playing the king and queen to yell at Savannah temporarily?)
(Both of em? Because I be both or the queen if you'd like)
