Re: Her Sheltered Life

I took the bowl back and sighed. Now we were waiting on the cupcakes to finish. There were only a few minutes left though. Time goes by quickly when you watch a big, macho strong man stir icing for cupcakes! I giggled at the memory. Zephyr certainly did look silly. He always did those things for me though. Almost as if he didn't care. "Thank you very much, Zephyr! I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome." We were always like that together, even though it hadn't quite started that way she was growing on me all the time and every thing she did seemed to fascinate me, even the way she smiled and walked got me grinning.

I smiled happily at him and rested my head in my hands. "Was your dad really tall and muscular too?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:27 pm

"Dad... yeah, I think he's actually taller than me though..." I replied, "he's been quiet since he retired."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:28 pm

"I'd like to meet him someday. He retired before I was old enough to remember him." I said, trying to picture his face. I assumed he looked like an older version of Zephyr. But... I couldn't picture him any older.

"When Mom died he was trying to stay home more because no one was around to take care of me, and most of his job was dangerous so he kind of... demoted himself." I explained to her.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 5:31 pm

"Oh I see... that would explain why I don't remember meeting him..." I sighed. "Is he kind?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:29 pm

"Very, he loves everyone and is the kind of man to welcome tons of guests into our house even though it's kind of small." I chuckled, "You'd love him."

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:31 pm

"So, can I meet him some day...?" I asked hopefully. "Or would he get mad at you for bringing me?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:54 pm

"He might be disappointed in me for taking you away from the castle... I could bring him to you maybe if you really want to meet him." I offered.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:56 pm

I gasped. "R-Really?! I do!! I want to meet him! Ah! But I need to give him something! What should I give him? Flowers? No, that's too girly for a gruff man. Hmm... Cupcakes! No, that's really girly too. Ah! I don't know what to do!" I dropped my head to the counter and sighed defeatedly before pulling it back up in a rush. "A hug! Does he like hugs?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 6:57 pm

"From you? I'd say he could like hugs." I found he absolutely adorable, I wish I could hug her. T-T

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:01 pm

I smiled at him. "You're always so nice. You sure he won't be upset? I don't want to upset him!" I said quickly.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:06 pm

"You won't upset him, trust me!" I knew my father would jump at any chance to meet the princess I talked about so often. "Trust me, he wants to meet you. He hasn't seen you since you were a fus- baby!" I stopped, I was about to say 'fussy pink thing'.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:12 pm

I laughed. "Okay then, when can I meet him?" I asked, growing excited.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:16 pm

"Anytime you want I suppose." I offered with a big smile.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:18 pm

"Like.... tomorrow?" I asked hopefully, leaning forward. "Is that too soon?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:22 pm

"Not at all, I'm sure he'd love to come around tomorrow." I replied.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:24 pm

And so, tomorrow arrived and I put on the best of my casual dresses. I hated the ones used for the dances. They were heavy and made me sweat! >.<

I stepped out of my room with a big yawn and immediately walked into someone. I squealed and jumped back, wide-eyed.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:30 pm

"Morning!" She was so cute when she was half asleep! <3 "My father is on his way, we're having lunch in the garden!"

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:32 pm

"Oh!" I smiled and hugged him. "Thank you! I'm really excited!" I looked up at him with a big grin. Then my eyes got really big. "Oh no! I forgot to brush my hair!" I let go of him and ran back in my room, leaving the door open for him to come in.

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:34 pm

I walked in behind her and picked up her brush and started to busher her hair, it was so soft and shiny, beautiful, I wanted to tell her how pretty she was.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:38 pm

I was a little shocked that he was brushing my hair, but I smiled anyway. He made me so happy! I giggled and couldn't help but grin big! He just had that effect on me! "Why is it that almost everything you do makes me happy?"

**Ikuar** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:46 pm

I pulled some of her hair back gently and briefly felt how smooth her skin was, a shiver rolling up my spine. "I don't know." I replied in all honesty.

**Jayrin** Mon Apr 11, 2011 7:49 pm

"But... I thought you knew everything!" I said with a giggle, looking up at him from my chair.
