"The two of you can relax in my presence. I won't eat you alive," Tabitha said, to get Hazel and Jasmine to not be so stiff. "The two of you did well today with dancing. Hazel, you looked like you could tutor young girls if you had to work, but Jasmine, there was a moment when you stumbled."
Jasmine blushed, embarrassed by the queen calling out her mistake. She was normally more perfect when it came to dancing. She had practised more before coming to the palace because her mother suspected this was something they would have to do.
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure dancing with my son for the first time made you nervous. Once should be enough for you to get used to his presence and not stumble again. Your fathers have been coming into the palace more now that you are here and it has only been two days," said Tabitha.
