In the middle of his long explanation, Alix jumped in and suddenly asked, "Did you have a dream, when you were younger? Did you ever think of doing anything else or being someone else?"
"Are you attempting to distract me?"
"No, I am trying to get to know my husband better." She answered.
Suddenly she tripped and almost fell forward. Her hands fluttered like birds wings and she screamed a little. The umbrella went flying from her hands and it landed in the snow.
"Careful." he told her quickly and grabbed a part of her coat.
She steadied herself and stood in one place for a few seconds. That was rather close. It would have been rather embarrassing if she felt flat on her face in front of him.
The bodyguards meanwhile had already reached and they were holding their hands out behind Alix just in case she tripped backwards. One of them picked up the umbrella and returned it to her.
