“Why… Why are you here?” You eyed Chan carefully, your fist closing over the friendship anklet, shaking slightly in your tight hold. You had not known platonic love until you got close to her, and to this day she was probably one of the few reasons why you were still breathing in the first place. When you met, you were both tiny little princesses, your parents had taken you both to a grand ball in the realm that separated yours, a friendship that bloomed through correspondence and even more meet-ups as you grew up. Queen Naeel and you had been friends for years. You knew he was telling the truth as soon as you saw it, since you kept an exact copy but with a sun charm around your ankle. The thing was composed of several different colours of ribbons tied together, the fabric worn down and the colours washed out from years and years of use, a single star charm tied to the middle. “Her Majesty said that would be enough…” He sounded sceptical, and you couldn’t blame him. “I have this as proof”, Chan reached for his pocket, taking out what looked to be a piece of cord and handing it over to you. “How do I know you’re telling the truth?” Interesting… Definitely a handsome young man, but no semblance of lies just yet. A mess of brown curls on his head, warm brown eyes, a big nose, plump lips, and a scar going from his right eyebrow to the middle of his cheek were all the details you could focus on, his attire that of someone who had indeed prepared for a handful of months travelling from one realm to the other. You scanned his face for a moment, trying to find any semblance of a lie in his expression. He was certainly built like a knight as far as you could tell, very broad, his stance ready for any sudden movement you could make. Now that the initial fight or flight feeling wore off, you took your time to analyse the man in front of you. Your eyes widened at the mention of Naeel’s name, your guard lowering just slightly. “I’m sorry for the… Well, the unconventional method to get you to meet me”, the man gave you an apologetic smile, and a short bow of his head. Finding yourself being pulled into a stable at dawn was not something you expected to happen today when you decided to go on a walk, much less finding the person that had pulled you into said stable to be a man you didn’t know.
