Once the book was back in its place, Malcolm stared at the other books before deciding to not take another one. He then made his way back to his bed and sat down once more. He could see Camron watching him out of the corner of his vision and kind of felt intimidated by him.

(It's ok! I usually reply when I first get up in the morning anyway for school, but I am on break still, so I haven't had to do that yet)

[Camron continued to sit. Every once in a while her look away, distracted by a noise for a few seconds before paying attention to Malcolm again. He tried to keep most attention on Malcolm and block out the noise around them.]

(it's been a really long day (like crying infront of parents and being willing to vent to someone type long day-) my reply probably makes no sense, I've been up since four and it's almost nine, today was fairly traumatic and my brain is very, very scattered as a result, i really doubt anything I type will make sense, my head hurts, my brain is very scattered, and I probably have class still tomorrow-)

Malcolm felt kind of uncomfortable as Camron watched him. He really wasn't sure what to say to him or even do. Part of him wanted to go out and go for a ride on his horse in the woods, but that idea was soon pushed away as he remembered his injury.

(I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you and you feel better soon. If you need some time away I wouldn't argue against it.)

[He continued to sit. After a moment he began picking his nails as he had nothing else to do. He kept alert with his other senses but picked away at his nails quietly.]

(Okay. So, a couple days ago was very chaotic- a Guinea pig passed away and due to social things with Guinea pigs I had to sort out adopting a cage mate (my remainjng girl, Twinkie, is very young and I didn't was to risk the time without a cage mate while she healed mentally from what happened to effect her too much so I was trying to find another Guinea pig quickly due to how long quarantine for a new animal takes and all that-). I was in fact able to find a litter of Guinea pigs on Sunday and now have a future cage mate for Twinkie (Her name is Muppet, she's a long haired girl, currently she is in quarantine).

So- another detail is that I've started a college class today. It may be harder to reply, it may not be, I have no clue yet, it started today.

-

I am very sleep deprived right now so I'm hoping this all makes sense. I'll try to reply as much as possible, my replies may be pushed a little later in the day so I'm sorry if more spelling errors and name errors are present due to that- I'll try my hardest to keep things straight. I truly don't know if the class will effect my reply time or not though, maybe it won't and I'll be fine, who knows-

-

sorry this is so long, I mostly wanted to give you information. I will certainly try to get more replies out.)

After some time Malcolm began to grow very bored. Most of the ideas that he came up with required him to not have his arm in a sling like it was now. A few more minutes went by and a knock came from the door. Mal slid off of his bed and walked over to it and opened it. "Sorry to disturb you Prince Malcolm," the maid on the other side says, "your parents have summoned you to the king's meeting room." "Did they say what for," Mal asks curiously. The maid pauses for a moment before answering, "I believe they might have found you a possible suitor." Malcolm pauses now before nodding and says, "I will be down in a moment." The maid leave and Mal goes and slips on some dress shoes that go nicely with his outfit.

(Oh no! I'm sorry for your loss of the Guinea pig. I'm glad Twinkie will get a new friend now and I hope they both stay safe and well. I also wish you luck in the college class. I have done college credit classes so I know that they can be more difficult than regular ones. I understand if you need time off to deal with things and cannot reply so don't try to push yourself too hard to reply. Also all of that did make since and thank you for the info.)

[Camron watched the commotion. He continued to sit quietly for a bit before standing. "Am I to come with you or no?" He crossed his arms as he spoke in a somewhat stern tone. A part of him was intrigued but he tried to remain professional, he didn't know why he cared, it shouldn't matter to him.]

-

(meant to reply yesterday x.x sorry!)

Once Malcolm had gotten his shoes on his gaze went to Camron as he asked if he were to go or not. "You can come with," Mal answers, "you can either stand outside of the door or inside the room and beside the door. Whichever you prefer." When he finishes saying this Malcolm heads out the door, only glancing behind him to see if Camron was following. A part of his was surprised that his parents had found somebody that would want to marry him but another part was very wary of this. Who knows if this suitor just wanted the opportunity to try and take the throne if they got married or not.

[Camron nodded slightly before following him quickly. He contiued to follow him till they reached the room. Camron stoped and stood by the door outside of the room silently before waiting for Malcolm to enter the room.]

-

(oh my god this reply is so delayed im so sorry- i have had so much happening so i kept having to hold off)

When they reached the room Malcolm nodded at a butler next to it and he opened the door for the prince. Mal then stood straight and walked inside of the room in a formal way, or as formal as he could with his arm in the sling. He then went and stood beside his parents. "Malcolm," his father says to him, "this is Tiago son of Orlo, Lord of Sirencester." Malcolm looked at the other man, who looked to be around his age, as well as the older man standing beside him. "Pleasure to meet you two," he says with a polite bow at the two visitors.

(It's ok! My own apologies that mine is late. We had a cold front come in and I had to deal with that before replying.)

[Camron stood outside. He couldn't help but wonder what was being said inside but he also didn't want to intrude on something that wasn't his business. He calmly stood with his arms at his sides in an attempt to look fairly busy as he waited.]

(it's all good, my reply is late, sorry, I've once more had a lot going on. Things seemed to have calmed down though so hopefully I'll be much more free.)
