fringe of hair falls over his eyes as he bows his head politely, holding the door open for the stranger. matt half smiles, half smirks, but wholly sincere in his antics. he can't turn every frown upside down, but he that doesn't mean he'll try. ' sorry if i'm being weird, but i know a princess when i see one. let me help you on your way out. '
it was easy for serena to become lost in her thoughts ; walking upon dark clouds with the grace of someone who’d received the worst news of their life . that’s an exaggeration , but her routine check up was never one that she enjoyed -- scientists and doctors in the most private room , prodding their fingers under her skin and taking note of every flinch and abnormality of her body . it was invasive .
her fingers barely brush against the door before it’s opened before her  (  magic ?!  )  and her pretty eyes widen in surprise . not magic , but a beautiful person who’s expression renders her tongue - tied ; let alone the words he uses . serena’s head turns to the side to avoid staring directly at him , and twirls a golden ringlet around her index finger .
       ❛  w - what ? um ... you .... ah !! thank you , i mean ... n - not ...                                 it’s not weird at all !! it’s very sweet !!  ❜
