tab Charlene had found herself surprised that Sverre held her hand the entire way there. She wasn’t sure exactly where they were headed, but she was looking forward to the surprise of it all. The entirety of the walk she had been thinking back to when he kissed her, and she still found the move very bold and she was kind of surprised when he had done so. She didn’t mind the boldness, but rather she found it endearing and rather refreshing.
tab When they arrived she turned her gaze back to him and away from the beautiful courtyard he had brought her to. Flowers, trees…they certainly knew how to keep plants alive, unlike herself. She smiled at his comment and nodded her head. ” I have to agree! It’s gorgeous out here, and I can’t think of anyone better suited to be spending time with.” If she was honest, she’d love to get her daughter there and show her everything but that was simply not possible right now and she knew that. Besides, Sverre had been such a gentleman the entire time, even helping her post wall crumbling down. She placed her hand on her forehead as she looked up at the sky, the blue a beautiful contrast to the green foliage.
tab Charlene looked back down as Sverre stepped closer to her, her cheeks flushing a slightly darker shade of red. The reminder of what had happened earlier caused her heart to race as she smiled almost shyly but not quite at him. ” Oh how kind of you, I might have to take you up on that offer.” she tilted her head slightly before she took the closeness as opportunity. She didn’t know if there’d be another chance, nor if she’d have the courage later, so she leaned in and pressed her lips to his cheek for a moment. She knew her face heated up when she did but she leaned back and hid her mouth behind her hand, a smile formed. She could help but be proud of herself for doing so, and she closed her eyes. ” There…we’re even now, no?” she hadn’t flirted in years so this was all new to her, but she was happy.

tab Charlene wasn't entirely sure how the world worked outside of her own bubble, as much as her parents taught her and urged her to remember. She knew that each kingdom ran differently and this man was certainly not from Luna. She didn't know where he was from, but she certainly would have remembered such a presence if she had met him before. After she had kissed his cheek, she heard his response. For now? Does that mean he wanted to do more? She had let her hand fall from her mouth, only to feel his hand on her chin, tilting her head up slightly. She opened her eyes and almost immediately flushed slightly, red tinting her cheeks as she found herself staring directly at him. If this wasn't the sign of someone wanting to do more, she didn't know was! And she certainly had the unfortunate experience to know exactly what that could lead to. While she was very proud of her daughter, and loved her very much, she knew that she had made mistakes and they led to her family having a rough dynamic for a while.
tab "So what brings a beautiful woman like you to such an unfortunately questionable academy such as this? Surely you're much more deserving of being fawned over at home, hm?"
tab His questions brought her back to reality, and out of her thoughts where she was imagining how soft his lips would feel upon her own. She smiled, fighting the blush that was very clear on her pale skin now. " I was chosen to be sent here by the leaders." she started, careful not to give away her home kingdom, as per the rules. " I do not believe they realized how...questionable things would be here when they sent us all to this place. I'm merely grateful that I'm not royalty, or else I would have a lot more riding on my shoulders." she didn't hear of any rule that said they couldn't say what she had, but she knew it was tiptoeing a line. She was struggling to focus though, and because of that struggle she hoped she hadn't broken any unspoken rule. She didn't say Luna, she just said she wasn't a princess. " As for being fawned over at home...there merely isn't many suitors where I come from, I'm finding much better luck here despite how things have been going." she found herself speaking without thinking, the mere implication that she was enjoying his company more than anyone else slipping through her words.
tab Charlene mentally scolded herself, she hadn't had this little self-control for a long time. It was like she was a young woman again, being swept off her feet by the handsome knight. He had protected her earlier, so it lined up...but she knew that she had to protect herself and her kingdom. She turned her head away from Sverre, in a mild attempt to keep her thoughts clear from the urge that she had to lean forward and steal another kiss from the man. " So, what brings you here to this academy? I'm sure you had plenty of women and men fawning over you." if his words and actions here said anything about him at home, she was sure he was sought after by many people.

tab Charlene hadn't paid much attention to where his eyes had wandered during dance class. She had almost entirely been caught in his web of stories and enjoying herself. When he responded she smiled slightly, she wasn't surprised. Someone as attractive as him must either come from somewhere that this kind of look is normal, or he was the one attractive person there. Most likely though it was the first option, and she couldn't help but wonder where he might be from, but she knew better than to actually ask the question. She turned her gaze back to him and couldn't help but smile. " Of course I can't! I'm sure that someone as handsome as you has been admired." She knew they had their fair share of both attractive men and women in her kingdom, but she had always had somewhat of an issue with her title. Because of her child, and the way she refused to hand the title of mother away.
tab Charlene wasn't expecting the man to pull her into a hug, when she felt his arms move around her, she knew the moment her face lit right up, and she fell silent. She wasn't entirely too close yet, but her instinctual response was to place her hands against his chest, not having the moment before to place them over his shoulders. She looked at him and looked up at him, not sure what his intentions were but she certainly didn't mind being so close to him. She took a moment to process his words, before she smiled shyly again. " Really...?" she found it hard to believe that he didn't have multiple suitors, but perhaps he did and he just played the field? Either way, she knew that most people wouldn't be interested in her, but not for the reasons one might initially think. She had baggage that would be in the form of her child, but she didn't mind.
tab Charlene took a breath before she relaxed slightly, his arms still around her as she closed her eyes. How many years had it been since someone held her like this? Five at least. Most duchesses haven't had it happen at all, but she found that she missed it quite a bit. As she leaned against the duke she rested her head on his shoulder. Her heart was racing in her chest as she tried to clear her head a little bit. She took a few moments before she leaned her head back up and met Sverre's gaze with her own blue eyes. " You're sweet to say that. It's been a while since I've found myself in the presence of someone who was so kind." she knew that even if he was playing the field, here in this school, there would be little chance for finding the one who she'd marry. Her mother likely was looking for a suitor elsewhere, and she'd already messed up her chances with men who wanted no baggage, so perhaps it was worth having a little bit of fun.
