care to dance, my lady?

Clarissa;
I raised an eyebrow because I knew what he was thinking. I took a seat beside him on the bench but a good amount of distance between us. "I'm doing the best I can at teaching her the essentials of becoming a lady,"I said crossing my legs. "But,"I said looking at him,"I'm helping her become a confident, strong, smart, lady. There isn't many of those types around which is a shame. Women should have a mind of their own, not submit to everything a man says she has to do or say,"I said looking him in the eyes fiercely. When it came to women being wimpy and stupid, it infuriated me.

Elaine;
I made my way over to the practice field , resting my arms against he fence. I saw Mycah practicing and watched his movements. I knew he was a squire for Erik, who was pretty damn good at sword fighting and jousting. Mycah had an amazing teacher, which I knew Erik was a good mentor towards him also.

Erik;
I yawned behind my hand as I moved my horse towards the gates. I saw Linette walking not to far away. We've talked on multiple occasions but it was frowned upon for a knight to talk with a Linette. But then again, I wasn't like every knight. I speed up my horse towards Linette's way. "Good afternoon, Linette,"I said as got off Blaze (horse).

Anthony
I looked at her for a minute, half amused and half annoyed that she was speaking to me so out of hand. I was her Prince, after all, soon to be King. There should have been at least one 'Your Grace' in there. But I let it go, because Clarissa could be useful for me to have around and on my side. Chastising her wouldn't do any good. "And so you should. But it would be nice if you taught her that not all the realm is apt to accept this kind of behaviour. If the people won't like me then I'd like them to at least adore my sister."

Mycah
In the middle of my practising I got this strange feeling of being watched. I shrugged it off and carried on but the feeling still lingered in the back of my mind, annoying me. I stopped my sword practice and looked around, to see if there was anyone actually watching me. I was surprised to see someone watching from the fence around the practise field. I knew it was the Princess almost straight away; nobody could mistake the blonde hair. I felt kind of self concious after I realised she was there. The Princess was watching me, a squire, practice. It was strange. And nerve wracking. Still, I began to practice again, now acutely aware of all my movements. I didn't want to make a fool of myself in front of the Princess.

Linette
I smiled as Erik dismounted his horse next to me. Like I said before, knights didn't usually bother with the servants, except to bring meals. Of course the knights sometimes took an interest in a servant if they were particularly drunk and wanted a whore for the night, but there were plenty of whorehouses around the city. Erik was different. He was almost completely focused on his duty and continuing to improve himself, and he was nice enough to give anyone the time of day. I'd spoken to him a few times before. He was a good person. "Good day, sir Erik."

Clarissa;
"If anyone doesn't adore Elaine, they are out of their right mind. She's strong and independent. She knows that there will be nobles that don't accept her, but if you've seen the way she reacts with the poor... Goodness, she has a sweet heart that wins them over. The poor are the ones who make this place a town, a castle,"I said looking over at Anthony. "You should give your sister more credit. She's a great young lady, your Highness,"I said breathing in slowly and letting it out.

Elaine;
I smirked slightly as I tilted my head,"Why'd you become so stiff?"I called out to Mycah. I knew it was because a higher power was watching him. But come on, he's older than me and shouldn't be so intimidated by me. Though I am a pretty great swords-woman.

Erik;
I smiled and bowed my head slightly,"How are you this mid-day, m'lady?"I asked as I looked at her. The sun hit her red hair, making it shine. She was a gorgeous lady but everyone puts maids down.
