Kayeni watched in slight confusion as her comment on kale sent him into a tizzy - really, what was wrong with a leafy green vegetable that would send him into such a flurry? Maybe it wasn't her comment on food, but something else?

She didn't know. She could only watch in slight bewilderment as he hurried away before even making sure she was inside the room. She stepped inside, and the doors closed behind her as... crap. iIn all of his excitement - or whatever it was - over her comment on kale, she had forgotten to check out the door and the amount of guards behind it.

So now she had no idea what was waiting for her outside her door, with no reasonable excuse to check, and hence no way out. At least, for now. At least, there was a window, and the ground didn't look too far away.

Briefly exploring the chambers she had been given - they were actually quite nice, considering what she had been expecting - she came to quite a dead end. She was - essentially - a prisoner in her room without much reason to go out, despite her desperate want to go out and release some of her energy somehow. The amount of scorn she had taken from the prince, the way that the entire council had stared at her - she had pushed it all down, but somehow, she always needed it to come back up at a later point. She couldn't exactly do much about it in here. Or, at least, not now.

There was always the window. Crossing quickly over to it, she was relieved that it was most definitely openable. But, by how much?

She unlatched it and gave the window frame a tenatative pull. It didn't budge.

She silently cursed. No way there really wasn't any way for her to get out. She gave it a really big pull, all the pent-up annoyance going with it, and instantly regretted it as it pulled free of the frame and went crashing right into her face.

Ouch.

The window juddered in silent protest, but thankfully stopped moving as she fell - hard - onto her bum on the floor. She could almost feel the red line that went down her face and stomach where the edge of the window hit her, and she looked angrily at the window, which had stopped juddering and was now peacefully open.

Rule number one - apparently, the windows are a bit stiff and only need a bit of force. Although, it would have been nice to know that before she tried pulling it.

Quickly checking to make sure she wasn't bleeding - she wasn't, but there'd be a mark of an angry red line down her for the rest of the day - she picked herself up, and furitively peeked outside, just to hear the door open behind her. Whipping around, she looked at the guards who had opened her door and peeked inside.

"Your highness, are you alright?" the guard who was looking inside tentatively asked her.

She waved her hand dismissingly, preferring not to spend much more time talking to them. The sooner she could be out, the better. "Yes, yes, I'm fine. Just a bit of trouble opening the window." She hoped they couldn't see the red line down her face.

"You can go now. I'm fine," she added on when the guard hesitated. Bowing silently, he shut the door, and
