Ennette hesitated when she noticed the paladin waking up, but seeing no resistance, continued to brush her hair and welcomed her with a warm smile. Ah, that laugh, so gentle and authentic. It made her heart flutter!

     "Don't apologize. These gatherings can be draining," the princess said, though she was far more distracted by their hands. How grateful she was for the nighttime to be just dark enough to hide her blush, though she felt like it was so hot she could take the place of the sun! And if she hadn't then, she definitely did when she heard such a bold question.

     Ennette didn't respond for a second, feeling her soul leave her body in pure shock. When she recovered, she cleared her throat and nodded maybe a little too quickly. "O-Of course. I... I'd like that very much."
