"Sure does feel like that." She slumped against the wall balancing back and forth on her feet. "All I want is to go out and make friends, and learn about the city and the outside world." Alandra spoke softly and wiper at her eyes. "It's like they just had me to show me around to other nobles. 'Oh what a lovely daughter you have, a shame she acts out.' She gave an example she heard while in court with her parents. "They dote on Alexander all the time, because he's the future monarch. I'm just he back up."

"I heard he was an idiot." Aiden didn't really have a shut up button. so tactless. "And as for introducing you. Even if your a lesser heiress you'll still hold a high position and plenty sway in politics." He didn't seem interested in politics or inheriting things. his cousins would inherit his Aunt's estate and he'd not seen his parents since the day they pulled him from those caves. "Being queen isn't the only thing a princess is good for. there have been generals, advisers, proxies, even ones sent to foreign territories as royal substitutes." He sighed. just a little annoyed. he'd thought they were pretty similar. but she had plenty of options he'd never have again. "I'd look around if i were you. and read up on your histories."

"That's not how it works here. My parents wanted me to be a boy so they could have a back up to the throne, but I came out a girl. I don't have any responsibilities. I'm basically a flawed extra that can never amount to anything." She looked annoyed, even though he was only trying to help. "I'm stuck in the castle all day forced to be some sort of..... statue so people can look at me. I can never amount to anything because I'm not a boy." She blushed venting to the boy. "I'm sorry.... I don't usually act like this."

"And it's fine like that? people see you as a doll because they think that's all your worth." He was smiling like it was a fun game. "Why don't you use all that energy to proving them wrong? Instead of skipping classes, use them to prove you have a mind worthy of supporting your brother." He giggled. "And learn to use those connections your parents force you to make in your favor."

"You make it sound so easy." She sighed smiling and rocking back and forth on her feet. "I've tried, but it doesn't help. And I just want to go out and explore the land's, that's why I sneak out. It's the only time I get out and look around the city." She laughed softly to herself. "And I'm spending that time talking to you. Some genius I am aren't I." She didn't mean it as an insult. she was actually enjoying the time talking to the boy. But her goal was to go out into the city and explore.

"Then why don't you play nice and then propose a royal tour?" He looked at her like it was the obvious choice. "royals do it all the time. take the name of a duke or countess and tour the land." He sighed. "Tell your mother you wish to understand the structure and workings of the people who make your territory what it is." He smiled. "if you tell it right, you usually get what you want. and a countess' tour usually calls for one escort and three guards. not too confining. but i sugest if you do it you play by the rules while your out. they'll crack down on security if you act up outside of the city."

Bain smiled back ever so faintly. "Come on I'll show you around the market then." He held the door open for her. "Maybe now we can actually get some cooked food."

Stella's smile was wary as she stepped toward Bain. "Sound's like we'll both get lost."

"I know my way well enough. Wheres the faith?" He laughed quietly closing the door behind them and locking it. "Wonder if it will snow soon? It's been getting colder these last few days." They made their way out the inn's front doors. "Do you like the winter Stella?" He tried to clean up the awkward air with some small talk.

"The fields i picked wildflowers from..." She seemed to be focusing really hard on an old memory. "Snow would blanket them and the local birds would look so pretty against the white." She smiled a little easier. "I do like the winter." She sighed. Her bare feet weren't uncomfortable against the cold stone pathway. not in the slightest. She wondered when her body became accustomed to being barefoot in winter when she'd once despised the cold against her skin.
OOC: she may not know anything but she suspects. and the cold thing is definitely Sina's doing. she loves the cold.

Bain noticed she was wearing no shoes for the first time. "I'm an idiot for not thinking about getting shoes. Come here." He hurried to the side of the market finding someone selling clothing. "Pick something warm to wear and I'll get it for you." He took a look around the crowd seeing if he could recognize anybody. "Sounds like a beautiful place. Wish I could see it."

"Stella looked at her small toes and sighed. "I don't think it's needed." She smiled. "Thankyou but there are never shoes when i wake up... i don't think i ware them." She pointed to her feet. "They don't even hurt or feel cold."

"Alright." Bain pocketed his money and walked down the market street. "Well where do you want to go first?" They were pretty much at the center of the city and you could see the area around them easily enough.

stella had no idea where they should go but she did know one thing. "I... i'm a little hungry." Truthfully she was starving. she hadn't felt stable enough to eat in the strange room but out in the city was different. All the scents from the stalls and markets were tantalizing.

"Do you want to eat from the markets, or from an actual restaurant?" He asked looking down the rows of stalls that were selling food. "I know of a couple of good places if they're still here that you might enjoy." Bain scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. He had no idea what he was doing in this situation.
