"That's good" He said to her with a sweet tone as he watched her amusment about him being off today. He was about to say something else when a knock at the door caught him off guard. Kennedy sat up quickly and watched the door "Oh fuck..." He mumbled to himself before looking over at Mercy who shared the same panic. He took his gaze around the room once more before jumping out of bed and squeezing himself underneath the bed and the floor

She stifled a chuckle and jumped off her bed, running to the door. She opened it and looked out to see a servant. S "The King and Queen would like you up to breakfast to speak of the Banquet. They advised to be there within thirty minutes." The servant turned and fled. Mercy let out a groan, slamming the door. "Fucking banquet. More like them talking about how wonderful they are." She growled. "Come out, Kennedy." She sighed, walking to the door for her walk in closet. She entered and looked around, pulling down an emerald green dress that would surely fall to her ankles. "God, Kennedy, this is going to be miserable." She sighed, walking back out and throwing the dress on her bed. She walked to her dresser and began to unbraid her hair.

Kennedy stayed still and quiet underneath her bed as Mercy went to answer the door, he lsitened to the conversation and held back a small chuckle at her grumble when she slammed the door. Once she said he could come out he did and stood up brushing off whatever dust had gotten on him which wasn't much. He then watched her grab a beautiful emerald green dress which he couldn't wait to see on her. Kennedy sighed before walking up behind Mercy and placing his head on her shoulder "I bet it is but cheer up it shouldn't be too long.. And also once you make it through that you get to hang out with me" He said to her in a calm tone just trying to cheer her up

She pouted at him. "Stop making be feel better." She huffed dramatically, giving him a kiss on the cheek as she finished taking her braid out. She grabbed a brush and ran it through her hair so it fell around her in soft waves. She turned and wrapped her arms around him. "I don't want to go." She whined into his shoulder.

He shook his head with a small eye roll "Oh come on, lemme do that" He pouted playfully before humming lightly at the kiss on his cheek. He moved his head off her shoulder so that she could brush her hair which once she finished he ran his fingers thorugh it since it looked so light and fluffy. When he felt her arms wrap around him he did the same to her and chuckled slightly "Well then don't, I can take you away and we can go hang out at our spot" He said to her before placing a kiss on her forehead

She tilted her head as he ran his fingers through her hair. "Its so tempting..." Mercy sighed, leaning into him. "But god knows the world will end if I'm even a moment late to this." She said sarcastically, placing a light kiss on his neck. She slipped out of his arms and grabbed her dress, walking into the closet to grab her shoes, changing as she did so. She walked back out, sitting on the bed to pull on her matching emerald green flats. "Its so impossible to move in this thing." She sighed, picking up one of the many layers of fabric that made up the skirt. She walked back over to him and frowned. "Being a princess sucks."

Kennedy smiled as she leaned into him and spoke, he held her close then let out a small sigh when she pulled away "Well you know where to find me if you change your mind" He mused to her while watching what she was doing. He was really mesmerzed by the way she looked in the dress, it complimented her skin and her eyes he watched her in awe the entire time. When she walked up to him, he grabbed her and pulled her in closer "You look beautiful... I mean insanely beautiful" He whispered to her before placing a gentle kiss on her lips

Mercy smiled as he grabbed her, wrapping her arms around him. She looked at him in polite surprise, flushing a light pink. She kissed him back, deepening the kiss slightly as she tilted her head.

Kennedy held the kiss for a long while before finally pulling away slightly, he smiled softly at her before brushing a hand through her hair. "Sorry if that was random... I just had to say it" He told her quietly before unwrapping his arms from her so she could move "So how long while you be?" He asked while shifting in place.

She smiled up at him. "No, people don't usually give me genuine compliments like that." She leaned her head into his hand and sighed. "Forty-five minutes? I might be able to cut it down to thirty if I can talk my father out of his normal diatribe about how we have to 'Set an example." She rolled her eyes, getting on her tiptoes to kiss his forehead. "I'll be back. Feel free to look around." She swiftly exited the room, weaving toward the dining hall.
