Jade Fern Grove I was wild, chasing stones.

Whatever he had expected, it had not been what she provided. His laughter may have died out but there was a smirk settled across his scarred features now. I mean...sounds pretty nice to me. She had given him such a wide window to say something charming — something knightly — and he had mustered up all of his brain cells to say that. Admittedly it wasn't the greatest thing ever said but it was better than nothing.

How does the fairytale end? He carefully asked as he searched her face for some sort of guidance. Was he being too bold? Was it off-putting to her? Julien wasn't trying to be weird but he truly lacked experience with this sort of stuff. He had been cooped up (not really cooped, he didn't mind them) with his family this far and had only had his first taste with the world away from home. So he hoped that if she didn't appreciate his advances that she'd at least let him down easy.
