@kwon boa "Nothing, i just...nothing." I said, waving it off with a smile.
"want something to drink?" I asked you

@kwon yuri The conversations and whispers didn't really bother her much, it was something the princess was used to. Boa gave the crowd a smirk as she sat down beside Yuri and nudged her new friend. "What's wrong?"

@kwon boa Yuri smiled, nervous, and they both walked in through the door. Some eyes followed them as they sat down at a table, there arms linked, some continued with there conversations.
"oh boy." she said, sitting down

@kwon yuri A smile tugged at the corner of her lips as she linked arms with Yuri and nodded in encouragement. "Probably because gouging out our eyes with forks repeatedly only to have them grow back again would be more pleasant." Boa joked and headed back towards the entrance. Hell, if she was going to go down she might as well have fun doing it.

@kwon boa Yuri looked at the door, unsure what to do. She didn't like crowds, especially the court.
"Sure, why not?" she said, holding her arm out for Boa to link it with her's, taking a deep breath full of nerves.

@kwon yuri It was sweet the way the other girl wanted to look out for her but Boa wasn't ready to call in reinforcements. Many years living alone made her very strong willed and she still didn't like relying on anyone but she didn't want to make Yuri feel as if she was ungrateful for the sentiment. "Alright. I will." She replied. "Should we head back in?"

@kwon boa She looked at you, but then broke into a smile "Your right. But still, if they hurt you again, you come tell me, ok?" I said, making sure you knew i was gonna be here, pointing a mom finger at you.

@kwon yuri The way the other girl seemed so fired up and determined made Boa chuckle a little bit but she quickly stifled it. "Honestly things would just be worse for my father if we were to cause a scene. Besides, I think living well is the best revenge anyway." She said with a smile. "Maybe we should just make our own fun and forget the haters."

@kwon boa Yuri scrunched up her face. "If someone hurt you, i'm gonna do something about it." She pounded her fist into her other hand.

@kwon yuri "Yuri." She repeated thoughtfully and made a slight face as she recognized the name. It was definitely one she had heard before and it distracted her slightly as she tried to place from exactly where. Only when Yuri questioned her did Boa snap back into the moment.

Her brown eyes blinked twice and went wide at the cute behavior but she wasn't sure how to respond. "W-what?" Boa asked and tilted her head slightly to the side in confusion. "I'm not sure causing an even bigger scene will get either of us what we want."

@kwon boa I smiled and nodded, understanding. "Yeah." I rubbed your arm and looked at you thoughtfully.
"your welcome," I smile "My names Yuri. It's nice to meet you Boa!" I grinned at you
"now tell me Boa, who's been hurting you?" I said, face getting serious, but in a cute way. "I'll go teach them straight!"

@kwon yuri The warm touch of the girl's hand on her own made her jump slightly and she returned the grin with an uneasy smile of her own. "I've never wanted to be like anyone else. To simply not bring shame or embarrassment to my family would be enough." Boa whispered, for the first time letting out some of her innermost thoughts. It was strange to be so open with a stranger and she felt a quiet comfort settle on her chest. "Thank you for the compliments though. I'm Boa."

@kwon boa Yuri chuckled "that's, absolutely, positively, Awesome! being different is like, the best trait you can ever have! you don't have to follow the rules, wait scratch that, there are no rules to being different!" Yuri grinned.
"don't take is as a bad thing, it's so awesome that someone else is not like some girls in the court." Yuri took both of the girls hands in hers, grinning at her

@kwon yuri It was hard to hide the slight arch of Boa's eyebrow in disbelief as she regarded the other. The princess wasn't used to genuine compassion from another, especially someone of seemingly such a high status. She didn't know if she could trust the girl yet but she decided to give it a try.

"I am pretty much the court joke. I don't fit in and even if I could I'm not sure that I would want to." Boa began but stopped, not wanting to hurt the other's feelings in case she identified with the ladies inside.

@kwon boa Yuri looked at the girl, knowing she was telling the truth. "What happpend? do you wanna talk about it?" Yuri asked, looking really compassionate.

@kwon yuri Her keen senses told her that she had company in the garden long before the other approached but she wasn't able to calm herself in time. Before she could get herself together the distance between them had closed and she heard a concerned voice calling to her. Could it be that one of those vapid court girls had a little more to her than that?

With a quick breath Boa cleared and glanced up into the face of the girl, trying to figure out if she was genuine or simply playing a game. "I will be fine. This is a pretty typical outcome for whenever I go to a party." She replied somewhat coldly. Just because someone looks like a friend doesn't always mean that they are and that was a lesson the princes had learned at great cost. "What about you? Isn't this a fine evening?"

@kwon boa Yuri walked along the Garden, needing peace, breathing in the scent of flowers and lightly grazing my hands over them. Ugh, those girls in there were such jerks.
She tunred the corner, and spotted a girl, her face in her hands.
"hey, are you ok?" she walked over to the girl, looking at her with concern.

@kwon yuri Music could be heard even through the thick stone walls of the castle to where Boa sat cooling her temper among the rose bushes. Another party and another group of empty-headed nobles waltzing around in their pretty frocks without a care in the world. All that they knew of the world were their idiotic cliques, gossip, and latest fashions. It was as if nothing serious ever entered their minds at all or if it did it was batted down for something entirely more frivolous.

This evening's events had gone much the same as every other. Boa entered, doing the best she could in that uncomfortable garment that was apparently 'all the rage', and tried to somehow hide along the walls or in shadows to avoid being noticed. The only reason she even came to those things was to try and keep her father's reputation up among the court but she guessed she usually did more harm than good. Well, at least if they were going to be cruel about someone they would rather it be her than her father.

Unfortunately it didn't take long before someone noticed her and put her on the spot. Just like every other time she became flustered and messed up. This one was a beauty though, she tripped during the curtsy and her skirt ended up somewhere in the vicinity of her head. There was a collective gasp followed by raucous laughter and a less-than-graceful exit by the princess.

Now in the calm cool air of the garden she held her red face in her hands and tried to figure out just what went wrong.

*walks around in the garden with a blue rose in my hand*
*looks at it and smiles to myself*
*smells the sweet scent and walks around more*

@kim jonghyun Something about Jonghyun just seemed to cut right through any and all of her defenses, probably because they were close before she learned that not everyone could be trusted. Hearing that he had noticed the guards talking about her, probably negatively did still hurt though. "I know they do. They don't like that I am not like the other princesses or that I am a better hunter than they are. It makes them upset that I can do such a manly thing but not be a man." she explained.

The princess smiled a bit and gently tightened her hold around him. "I didn't really think you did, I just hoped that maybe somewhere deep down you missed me." she whispered and played back with his fingers. "What should we do together then?"

@kwon bo ah "Nah I think I will sit and talk with my big sis more" Jonghyun said as he grinned at her pushing a stray strand of her hair out of her face "I don't see you much in the castle anymore your always off somewhere I here the guards talking about it sometimes" he said as she rested his head on her shoulder smiling a bit as he used to do it a lot when they were younger
"Boah I never stopped missing talking to you by the way if you thought I did and it hurt you then I'm sorry" he said softly take her hand playing with her fingers absentmindily

@kim jonghyun Her emotions swirled as he pulled her closer and she heard his confession. At first she didn't know how to take it. Boah was hurt that he was glad not to talk to her but it was because he had felt the same things she had. The only question in her mind was whether or not he still felt the same way about their relationship.

"Of course I would think about you." she mumbled and gave him a soft smile, secretly really happy with the kiss. "I know you are all grown up even if you don't act like it." The princess brother and poked his side gently, trying her best not to think too much about the body he had underneath his clothes. "But you are safe now. You can go back to doing whatever it was you were doing before the guards interrupted."

@kwon bo ah Jonghyun nodded as pulled her closer to him "truthfully I started to see you in that way as well so I was kinda happy that you stopped talking to me" he admitted as he looked down a blush for I g on his cheeks. He wasn't going to tell her but he heard the sad tone in her voice and couldn't help it.

"I'm not toying with you either sis so don't think that I am but thank you for thinking about me" he said as he leaned forward kissing her cheek "I'm all grown up now sis" he said a small smirk on his face as he looked at her

@kim jonghyun At first she wasn't sure what to think of Jonghyun's reaction and as he whispered to her she felt her heart pounding in her chest. He was just toying with her which almost broke her heart but of course she couldn't expect anything else. It was her feelings which had crossed the line so she had to stop them from coming out.

"Yes and yes." she began calmly, an almost sad tone in her voice as she glanced at him. "I didn't want to make things weird or take advantage of you at all. You're my younger brother and I love you so much. Your needs come long before my own."

@kwon bo ah Jonghyun didn't think she would admit it but when she did he was slightly surprised his eyes blinking slowly as he gazed at her slipping his hand into hers "can you really sis?" He whispers Into her ear nipping at her ear lobe befroe he pulled back putting a innocent look on his face once more

"So since you didn't think of me in a sisterly way anymore and couldn't control yourself from jumping me you distanced yourself from me then stopped talking to me completely am I getting this right?" He asked as he tilted his head a bit

@kim jonghyun It was no use to try and hide it as the color rose in her cheeks at his comment. Her heart and mind raced at the thought he had even noticed her at all in that way. Boah swallowed hard and tried to think of something plausible until he hit the nail right on the head. Despite everything he had seemingly seen right through her or had perfectly guessed her feelings.

"I-I..." she stuttered and then trailed off, becoming dry in her nervousness. Her hands became clammy as she began to tremble under his gaze until she hung her head in shame. "Yes. That is why I stayed away. You don't have to worry about it now though, I can control myself."

@kwon bo ah Jonghyun gazed into her eyes biting his lower lip slightly to keep in a smile "hmmm well you may act like a prince but you have a body of a women " he said as he smiled even though she hid it with her cloak most of time "and what would it be awkward between us?" He asked tilting his head in slight confusion as he reached up once more pushing aside a stray strand of hair

"Boah you didn't start to develop feelings more then a sister should right?" He asked as he gazed at her as all the thoughts he had for her when he was younger came back and was actually happy she started to avoid him because if she didn't he might have done something he regreted that wok
D have caused them both pain. She may not be his true blood related sister but she was still his sister

@kim jonghyun There was a sigh of relief as he informed her that no one had actually dared to insult him. Her threat hadn't been idle and she had honestly already been planning on how best to threaten or harm those that would. Boah was still wavering back and forth between doing it as a panther or wolf but she quickly dismissed it when he made it clear it wouldn't be needed. That did however leaver her open to what happened next.

"N-no. You did nothing wrong but I didn't want to make things awkward." she mumbled, blushing ever so slightly as his hand came up to touch her face. Just that gentle caress was more affection than she could have ever really hoped for from him and was almost like a dream come true. "I'm not that beautiful compared to the other women here at the castle, Jonghyun. Honestly I act more like a prince than a princess and I don't blame any of them for not wanting me."
