     As much as their appearance had at first roused such indelible curiosity, in the passing days and nights, Zelda's presence has become well-nigh commonplace. Enough for the sight of their approach — even here, where he has stolen away from the castle, and even now, when he has left being king consort behind for some spare moments — to kindle only mirth rather than honest surprise within him.

     "Was it the fair lady herself who sent you my way?" he laughs, bright and fond. His periodic jaunts into the wilds aren't exactly a secret of any kept nature, but he's tried, still, to slip between the cracks of a hectic schedule when least anticipated. Though he'd been expecting Sonia today, as she's established he always should, and just a little more time to himself — trust his queen to get the better of him and his indulgences yet again.

     Ah, but not all is lost!

     "If you care to join me for what remains of this hour," he begins, motioning towards the space beside him. He's never been able to convince Sonia to partake in the brief mealtimes he makes of the quarries he captures in these hunts, but perhaps he will succeed here — with this blessed scion of theirs, "I won't breathe a word of it when we return."
