"oh..." he did not know what to say to that admission "then i guess i will eat here with you then" he backed up and turned to leave "though i suppose you will have to talk about yourself too, it's only fair" he opened the door and slipped out into the hall leaving the other no room to protest.

Evan watched him leave the room and wondered if his request had been too forward.
He was notoriously sensitive, especially when it came to matters of other peoples emotions.
His stomach growled. He had been quite hungry, but had not found the time to appease the hunger due to the chaos of Constance's passing.

in the end he could not find anyone to fetch food so he ended up getting it himself from the kitchens, it felt odd for him to be back in the busy warmth of it all, he had not been there since he was a lad stealing pastries and rolls. he was quick however to get the food and leave, he felt odd having all those faces staring, it was not noticeable when they were supposed to stare but he felt markedly out of place here, a man in the play-place of a boy. he hurried back even quicker than he had left

Evan wondered how his parents would react to the news. He was considering beginning the long letter to them, but thought better of it, and waited patiently for the Prince to return to the room.
He wondered what life would be like once he left this palace and moved to one of the Princes estates.
Hopefully he wouldn't have to worry about so many prying eyes.

he managed to get the door open without spilling what he had. it was an easier feat getting the door closed again "i have returned"

Evan immediately stood to help the Prince, he helped relieve him of the burden of all the food, allowing the Prince to free his hands to close the door.
The food looked delicious. "Thank you Your Highness" he said with a beaming smile.

he looked coldly at the other. smiles did not suit the boy at all. he moved around the other to sit on the bed, he would not stand to eat his dinner like some servant.

Evan nearly shuddered at the Princes cold stare. Had he done something wrong?
Following the Princes example, he sat as well.
The food smelled delicious, and his stomach grumbled again.
(What are they eating?)

they ate silently for a while before the prince remembered the boy's words from before "you wanted to know about me?"

"Y-yes Your Highness, if its not too much of a bother" he stammered.
He was really interested in what the Prince would have to say.
It was a good idea for them to get to know each other, since they might be living together for a while.

he shook his head "nothing about me cannot be known by asking others but if it pleases you then ask"

Evan decided to start things off on a light foot. "Alright. Your Highness, please tell me about some of your favorite things" Evan requested.
He sat fidgeting.

he was halted. noone had ever asked that before "i don't know" he knew what he did not like but as to what he did?

Evan was slightly surprised by the answer. The Prince did not have favorite things?
"O-oh... Do you have things that you enjoy then? Not necessarily favorite things, but things that make you happy?" he asked.

that was easier to answer "fine horses, beautiful women, good wine, handsome men, and flowers" he smiled lightly "especially flowers"

Evan brightened at the mention of horses and flowers. " I enjoy horses as well, at home my Father breeds Arabians. Such beautiful creatures... He started off with a pair, and now we have eight of them" Evan said happily, thinking about his time spent helping groom and care for them during the summers.
Evan also loved flowers, but that was probably a fact the Prince was well aware of already.
