Isabella practically ran to Casmir, who was nestled in the palace library, his eyes glued to the pages of the history of Verdesaint, paging through as if he were learning ancient teachings. She stopped taking in the peaceful moment, the flames licked at the wood in the fireplace, his demeanor was relaxed yet focused. A smile tugged at her lips, this was one of the many things she loved about Casmir.
"My love." Isabella whispered as she touched his arm that rested on his chair.
After several moments her words and touch registered in his mind, he tilted his head to glance at her.
"I can see you are busy." she gestured at the book. "But I was wondering if we could take a stroll, I have some news I'd like to share with you."
"Of course, lead the way." He gently set aside the book, taking her extended hand and following her lead out of the palace walls and into the garden.
