In her absence he had made his departure, out to the rather large backyard. With little in mind to do, he had decided to work on his training. With sword in hand, he 'fought' another with trained skill and precision, an unusually serious expression on his face. Within a few moments the tip of the sword was held just above the other's neck, the sharp edge glinting in the early rays of dawn. He was dully aware of a few others watching, but didn't seem to care.

He peered over his shoulder as the sound of the door opened, a small wave was offered in her direction. A few words were given to the other man he had been training with before he approached her. "Good morning, my lady." He spoke, a flicker of amusement in his gaze as he dipped into a polite bow. "Sleep well?" He inquired, his attention shifting up to meet her gaze. She did look quite pretty in the dress, it suited her well. As he had suspected, she had good taste in clothing. "If I may say. You look very lovely in that dress." He added with a light smile.

Straightening himself up a nod was given in response to her words. "Ah-very good. Sufficient rest is important." He spoke lightly, golden gaze focusing on her, something of admiration in their golden depths. Her inquiry brought him out of wandering thoughts, soon responding to the question. "I slept quite well, thank you." That was only half true though, as he had spent an hour or so stuck in his thoughts last night. Dealing with turbulent emotions was not something he was used to, so ut had kept him awake well into the night after they had left one another.

Silence was his response for a long moment before any movement was made. "I did not. And what about you?" He returned the inquiry, soon stepping a bit closer and peering down at her. A bold move on his part, but an odd part of his mind had wanted to do that."Hm-would you like to accompany me today? I am sure we can find something both of us would enjoy." He offered, a small smile soon offered.

Golden gaze intently watched her movement closer, a soft chuckle following. "Ah good. I was hoping you wouldn't say no." He mused, curiously meeting her gaze at her words. "Is that so? What an honor that is." He was quiet for a moment before speaking once more. "Do you perhaps dance? I like to think of myself as decent at it." He then lowered into a bow, finishing with softend vocals. "I would be honored if you accompanied me in one."
