A bit of won't hurt right

After two glasses you both sit back on the lounge with your mutual third. Lashay is much more relaxed, no longer sitting upright, knees together back floating in front of the lounge, he lays back on the cushion, legs folded on the seat looking wistfully out the window.

You are lounging just as much with your arm over the back of the lounge so you can comfortably face Lashay. "So you're related to another royal family?" You asked as you take a sip. The **** is a lot smoother than you expected, didn't taste like wine so a liquor are of some sort.

"Yes, I'm a Jatir."

The royal family here is Catstir. "Does 'tir' mean something?"

"It's the royal suffix." He explained as he took another drink. "How long have you and Princess Mary been betrothed?"

You sighed into your cup and took another sip. "We aren't betrothed." You had given up challenging Aurora on that but so long as everyone relevant knew it was inaccurate you'd be content. "But we met a few weeks ago."

"But Queen Aurora said you were."

"She wants us to be betrothed. Mary just does what her mother tells her but I'm not enthused by the idea."

"Don't you want to marry a Princess?" He sounded incredulous and you were reminded how alien your perspective is in this world.

"Depends on the Princess." You answered with a laugh.

"Huh?" Lashay asked tilting his head.

"Nevermind." You rushed out, that was close. "Mary and I get along but I don't know if we'd do well as a married couple." You actually had a lot of concerns about the topic but that summed it up as quickly as you could.

"But Queen Aurora has told you you are getting married hasn't she?"

"She's strongly suggested it but that doesn't mean I've agreed."

"Does your mother not want you to marry her?"

"Huh? no my mums dead, and I don't think my dad will have that strong of an opinion, unless he's got another of my mothers letters telling him who I should marry." You said that in jest but the real possibility he will actually have a letter like that occured to you midway through your laugh making it cut off. "You're mother wants you to marry Princess Anastasia?"

"Yes." He leaned back and took a deep drink. "Princess Anastasia is a better match than I ever thought I would get. The other's who'd been trying to win my mother's favour weren't," there is relief in his voice but he cuts himself off and clears his throat before explaining his meaning. "What do you think of Princess Anastasia?"

"What do you mean?" You aren't sure you want to answer a question quite that broad.

"I mean what does she like?" He asked looking you up and down. "What does she enjoy doing?"

'Don't say she's a cuck, don't say she's a cuck, don't say she's a cuck.' "She likes spending time with her friends."

"Does she like reading, or art?" He looked a bit hopeful and you remember his comment that he'd only met Ana once before this.

"I," You trailed off for a moment, you honestly didn't know all that much, all you knew of what Ana enjoyed consisted of the various ways she enjoyed nudity and the consequences of it. "She likes politics. Discussing it, doing it." The only time you'd seen her engaged was way back at her welcome to the academy party where she was talking with the other students about the kingdom's condition.

"Oh." He sounded disappointed.

"You should ask Edin, he's been with her for a lot longer than I have. Do you like art and reading?"

"Oh yes." He instantly brightened up and smiled at you. "I brought my paints and brushes, Mum said a husband should know how to paint and read for his wife when she needed to relax." He got a conspiratorial look for a moment. "But I like painting the landscape more. I'm hoping to get a chance to paint the city from top of the hill outside the palace."

"You should get onto the roof at the academy, there's an amazing view of the city from up there." You said with a smile.

"The academy?" He asked confused.

"Yeah, I'll take you up there if you want." You offered as you finished your glass. "Want another?" You asked walking over to the cart. You weren't sure why you'd been so nervous about this, sure you had to be careful to not mention the noises Lashay fiancée made when you cum inside someone in front of her but other than that it was nice getting to know someone.

"Yes please." He said to both you presumed and brought the bottle over to refill his drink and your own. This would be your fourth drink each and there was only enough for one more in the bottle so you poured the rest into his glass and sat back down. "Do you like painting?"

"I've honestly never tried." You'd had a lot more interesting thing to do since coming to this world. "Maybe you can teach me how some time."

"Sure." He said brightly. "I've always wanted a brother to paint with." He took a big sip of his drink.

"You should ask Edin. He'd love to paint, or read with you."

"Who is he to Anastasia? They've been together since I met them and she refused me to ride in her carriage but let him?" He didn't sound insecure, just curious.

"He's Anastasia friend. She brought him to the capital a few years ago and they've been together ever since." That was a massive oversimplification but you'd stayed close to Ana sex once more so had to be careful in what you said.

"Oh. Are he and Anastasia hand maiden married?"

"No." You said with a slightly chuckle. Well, maybe they are if she confessed. "Blue and he are very close but not married."

"Oh, are you and he close?"

"Yeah." You said with a smirk of remembered closeness. "I've missed him over the last week." You shifted on your seat as not only your upper head remembered all the closeness. Lashay's eyes drifted down, attracted by the moment. He coughed and took a drink, looking back out the window. "Are you going to be staying at the palace?" You figure Ana will be staying at the palace until the estate at the academy is repaired, unless she decides to sleep in your or Vatarie's room.

"I'm not sure." He answered. "Are you?"

"No I live at the acadmey, Edin and I share a room." A room you plan on making a great deal of use in as soon as you get back there with him.

"You and Edin share a room?" Lashay asked looking back over at you in time to see you crossing your legs.

"Yep, just me and him." And whoever else happens to be joining you in bed.

Lashay quickly finished his drink and tugged at the bottom of his toga. "Do you think Princess Anastasia will be much longer?"

Knowing her and her mother it's possible they could be any second now or still arguing. "I'm not sure. Do you want me to leave so you can have a sleep?" You assume that is what he is getting at since that was the last of the bottle and he did spend the morning in a carriage.

His tongue ducked out of his mouth to lick his lips. The pinkness of it contrasting rather prettily with his skin. "If you don't mind."

You stood up and finished your drink. "I'll let people know you're sleeping." You said walking around the lounge and out the door while Lashay lay on the lounge. How about that you managed to get through that whole conversation without once mentioning your and Ana's sex life. You were kinda proud of yourself. Now it was just a matter of who you go looking for, Mary or Ana, or Aurora if you think that would be a good idea?
