"This is one of my favorite places to go." She smiled.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:34 pm

He smiled up at her. "I see why."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:36 pm

She nodded, saying nothing more, just letting the moment of the silence sink in.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Wed Jan 19, 2011 6:44 pm

He smiled and looked out over the land again, memorizing it.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:02 am

Amy sat down on one of the branches, looking over the land. "Are you going to sneak out again tomorrow?" she asked him after a little bit of silence.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:51 am

"Most likely," he chuckled, leaning against the trunk.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:56 am

She nodded. "I work tomorrow."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 1:01 am

"I suppose I could come visit," he chuckled.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:07 am

She smiled down at him. "I'd like that."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:20 am

He smiled up at her. "Then I will."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:27 am

"So, there has to be something good about being a Duke." she said. He was nice and for some reason she wanted to know more about him, to help him.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:35 am

"I've never really seen the upside to it," he shrugged. "But that's just me."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:37 am

"Do you think that once you're in charge of some things that you could make a difference?" she asked.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:38 am

"I know I could," he nodded. "Then it's just a matter of if the higher-ups try to kill me or not. Either way, someone's not going to like it."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:44 am

"But what you royals are here for is us. Not you. Most people above Earls don't remember or care about that." she mumbled.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:46 am

He nodded. "That's why they won't be happy if I raise taxes for the upper-class and lower it for the lower-classes," he explained.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:48 am

"Why don't you just lower them for the lower class?" she asked. "The kingdom's making enough money, you don't need to raise taxes for anybody, just lower them for us."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:51 am

He nodded. "You're right."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:52 am

"My uncle says that I inherited my parents radical ideas." She smiled.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:55 am

Andrew laughed. "If you did, I'd like to hear more," he chuckled.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 11:57 am

She smiled. "Maybe later."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:03 pm

"Later, then," Andrew chuckled, relaxing in the tree.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:04 pm

She nodded. "What's a ball like?" She asked.

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:08 pm

"Normally, they are actually pretty fun. Dancing, music, talking, all the food and wine you could want. It's when no one leaves you alone to do what you want that things get bad. or when they get drunk and angry."

Subject: Re: < Speak Now > Thu Jan 20, 2011 12:10 pm

"Are they always like that?" she asked.
