Hime's look towards her nurse was even more flat and unimpressed than usual, if that was at all possible, when the woman suggested she go out to the recreational field. It was the kind of look that asked, "Do I look like I need to recreate?" or better yet, "What makes you think I need a field to do that?" It seemed her chaperon was immune to such glares before and the Royal saw little point in trying to argue. Having to do what other people who had no authority told her to do was such a pain.

The air wasn't quite cold enough to cause her breath to fog the air, but it was chill and sharp when she breathed in. She huddled miserably in her jacket as she stood by the sidelines of the field, having no intention to actually play. She cast a glance over at the activities shed.

How ironic that she'd spent all last night getting there and now she could just walk over at her leisure and take whatever she wanted. Well, not that she'd be allowed to keep it, but really. Maybe they'd get some time in the courtyard soon and she could take a look in the gardening shed and see if it was worth a trip at night.
