Working together the two strangers worked together on instinct to put the beast to rest. After a few well delivered blows the cat slipped off its paws and into the water. Silence surrounded them. Ike was breathing hard, trying to catch her breath as her heartbeat pounded in her ears. The boy seemed in similar shape to she was, and as he tried to catch his breath he thanked her and brought his strange colored gaze up to her features.
Ike’s brows furrowed as she found his features and he stopped talking mid sentence. She was half surprised his jaw didn’t hit the floor too. He quickly composed himself, smoothing over any ruffled feathers as he drew himself up and spoke a greeting. It was a good attempt at being noble but Ike just thought he was being corny. She huffed as he described her as an angel. She was a clumsy puppy and just saw him trying to get in some sweet words to an Ashen Princess. Ike wasn’t buying it and she wasn’t impressed.
He introduced himself, and his last name caught her attention. He didn’t smell anything like the empire pack. Was it just a coincidence? She was caught off guard and despite her age and the training drilled into her skull her manners were forgotten. "If you’ll stop calling me that…” She started, but found her propriety returning. "Princess Kiyohime Oritsu-Abraxas, but I prefer the shortened version of my middle name: Ike.” She offered him generously, suddenly curious now that she got over the shock of being flirted with. Even if it was only because she was royal. "And you’re welcome.”
"Speech"
