Aviel paced anxiously as you had once again slipped away unnoticed. No one was aware of your usual whereabouts, speculating you were either hunting or within the village. Aviel stopped abruptly upon seeing you enter the castle with blood-stained clothes. "Your highness, sneaking out is inappropriate. A guest has arrived, and you missed the immediate greeting."

Walking through the castle halls Aviel trailed behind you. "Your parents express deep disappointment, stating you won't find a partner through such actions" Aviel commented and a few maids hurried to ready a bath. Pausing at the doors to the bath you finally spoke "Inform the guest I'll join shortly and extend my apologies for the delayed greeting."

Honoring the guest's wish to wait in the garden Aviel approached them. The visitor had desired to relish nature during the wait for your return "Your royal highness has returned and wishes to let you know they'll be joining you shortly. They also extend their apologies for the delayed greeting." Aviel spoke.
