Prince Atticus

“Yes.” Kamaria kept her pace backwards as they spoke. “I think there are some local shelters. We can see if they take volunteers.”

“We can always pretend to be completely normal people so we can volunteer. I can’t promise we’ll leave empty handed though.”

“Fine, I can’t argue with that.” Kam skipped ahead, turning into a backwards walk so that she could face the other. “Besides, it will be nice to get out of the stuffy castle.”

“We could go see if there’s any animals that need affection while we’re out,” They suggested already knowing that they were going to stop whenever they saw a dog or even a cat.

the states, it took olympia a moment to realize what country that was. but still the first thoughts coming to her mind was the images of all the beautiful national parks. “I do, but you must as well,” she pointed out.

“I do,” They admitted a little more bashful about it as they thought about their own home, “most people though only see the major cities and the shopping and the glamour and the entertainment aspects. If you want to know though I think it’s more beautiful in the mid west or up in the forest of the North East.”

being told her country is beautiful could make her smile in such a way. it brought the light back to her face and to her eyes. “thank you,” she responded. “what is your home country?” she was throughly enjoying the experience of getting to know all the fellow royals.

“I’m from the States,” they certainly had there own beautiful areas but it still didn’t seem to even compare to what was around them currently but they supposed that came with the location. “I suppose you get compliments on your home all of the time though.”

“I am not sure I want to know,” Aly muttered, draining half of her own coffee. “But I am solo glad it exists because I would not be able to live without it.”

“Atticus, любить! I have something for you.” The words were said in a rush, before he was waving them into his room. “I have two more besides Luna in here, but one of them is yours so I don’t think she really counts as mine?” He questioned, as he moved to the couch where the St Bernard puppy was napping, and lifting her into his arms so he can bring her to Atticus. “This is Sunny, and she’s yours if you’ll like her?” Dimitri asked them, while a small smile grew on his face as he held out the ball of fluff.

Atticus didn’t bother to hide the shock on their face as he followed him into the room to see the dog that he was talking about. “She’s beautiful!” They cooed as they reached out in order to take the dog from their fiance before burying their face in her fur while laughing. “I absolutely love her. I just don’t know what to do to impress you now. You topped anything that I could in any way with this surprise. Sunny, just like your personality, huh?”

Adriana: Thank you.

Adriana: Angel somehow managed to escape my room.

Adaline exhaled a breath as she thought of an answer to her brother’s question, shrugging towards them. “Flowers. Chocolates. Picnics. Anything to distract from the fact that this is an arranged marriage.” She suggested, picking up the reins with an apologetic look. “Sorry ‘Cus, I don’t have many ideas.”

“How do you plan on celebrating your own engagement?” Atticus asked her curiously with a warm smile as they looked over at her, “I just don’t know how to make this not weird. I want it to be something special for him you know?”

Brown hues widened a bit more, as he figured out who the person in front of him was, and as soon as he did a blush grew over pale flesh. “I should be apologizing more, I’m sorry. I swear this wasn’t how I imagined our first meeting going, but yet I guess here we are.” A sigh escaped his lips, knowing that he blew his first impression on the other by looking like a mess. A frown played on Dimitri’s face as he watched the other pulling off their shirt, before he was shaking his head slightly. “No no, I can’t ask for you to give me your shirt. I mean what if you get cold or something? I’ll hate for it to be my fault.” He said, as he lightly scoffed the floor with his water clogged shoe. “Uh, I should introduce myself right? You already seen me looking not very well put together, and I don’t know how much more I can mess this up. Right, I’m Dimitri.” The brunette said, while holding out his free hand.

Atticus felt a smile tugging at their lips before they shook their head, “Don’t bother apologizing, really. I don’t mind that this is our first meeting it feels more...authentic?” they suggested even if the word felt wrong as he tried to think of which word would be right. However they reached out wrapping their hand around his, “I’m Atticus. But really I swear it’s okay for you to take my shirt. I mean what kind of fiance would I be if I allowed you to risk getting cold when clearly you’re the one more at risk of doing so. I’m sure we can find a way for you to make it up to me.” If anything though the meeting between them was calming their nerves about their future together.
