Knock knock
"Your Highness, I have arrived with the Lady's tea."
The arrival of the servant was not heard by the Crown Prince, whilst the Lady did notice the call, turning in his direction in wonder to his silent gazing.
"... Your Highness?"

Knock knock!
"Your Highness? Is there a problem?"
The second call brought him out of the trance, causing a shiver to shake his trunk before answering.
