Lena hadn't been lying about her love for horror movies once they got into the ga. Samuel at tis hardly had the chance to finish asking her the trivia question before she was already telling him the answer. All but twice she had been right.
Unlike him, she was surprisingly good at rember small, obscure details that he couldn't rember in movies. Questions about side characters, phrases, inconsistencies and such she knew almost too well. His strong points were just rember main characters, thes, years, occasionally where the inspiration ca from. Both were equally good at old horror movies but the princess was slightly better at rembering less known and foreign ones.
To know so much, he could only assu that she must've spent a large amount of her ti watching them when she was younger. Maybe it contributed to part of the reason why she was so cold?
It was a rather short ga unfortunately because there were only two of them which made the back and forth questions and cards go by rather quickly Samuel felt that it would've been more enjoyable to invite Leo to have played with them, but he got the feeling that Lena didn't want to be disturbed by other people during this ti so he chose not to say anything.
The third match was almost over, Lena would've won most likely by the way the ga was turning out when there were three tid out knocks on the door. Samuel turned to look at it, expecting that soone was getting ready to enter.
"It was one of the servants letting us know that it was ti for dinner. Usually when the door is closed and this room is occupied they usually just knock two or three tis depending on what they are relaying." Lena explained as she put her cards down.
"Oh, so that was the signal for dinner?" He clarified as he helped to start putting everything together. He was slightly disappointed that they weren't going to finish the ga.
"Yep, and if we don't get everything sorted out soon, they'll end up knocking again." She replied, putting the cards back in the box and closing it up. Putting it back with the rest of the other gas, she stood up. More than the other, she wanted to be heading back out to the dinner table before soone ca and knocked on the door again. She could request later for soone to put everything back.
Being a touch impatient, she motioned Samuel out ahead of her as she closed the door behind herself. He didn't exactly understand what she was being impatient about, but let her lead the way as they headed towards the dining area. He still wasn't that good at rembering where everything was located in the mansion.
He had only been here for four days, but the fact that each night all the dishes that were placed on the table were completely different from the previous night hadn't stopped amazing him. He was certain that there was probably a certain amount of rotation in the food the chefs served, but there was no denying that they had a diverse set of cooking skills. Tonight's course appeared to have the central the of Italian, but the dishes were ones he hadn't ever seen before.
Dinner conversation started as it usually did with general small talk and discussion of work related stuff that they seed to think was harmless for Samuel to know.
Zane was the first one to pop the question of what Lena had been doing with her day off since she was so much quieter than she usually was when he told her to take work off.
"I kept Sammy-boy entertained since you told that I should be spending less ti with my work and more ti with my potential fiancé." she replied, taking a drink before she continued.
"We gave the horses so exercise though Sammy isn't much good at riding without a saddle. Then he requested that I had the board gas brought out for sothing less intensive." The princess's response was partly right. Except for the fact that he had asked her first if they had any board gas, not as a result if wanting to do sothing less intense after hurting his back. He was thankful after the fact though that he had made that choice beforehand.
There were a few looks of surprise that passed over the table at the ntioning that the board gas had been brought out. Had it really been that many years since anyone had last touched them.
"If you were going to bring them out and play, you could've at least asked if I wanted to join. You hardly ever include in on the fun." Leo pouted, feign a slight amount of hurt mixed in with his real disappointnt that they played without him.
"There was no space for a third wheel. Today was intending as ti for us to spend together, not to invite a disruptor. Besides, I thought you were busy today taking over the work that I wasn't allowed to do?" Lena raised an eyebrow as she asked this question.
"I did do everything, and then so. The work that needs to be done is never ending, but that doesn't an I couldn't take a small break to enjoy in the fun you guys were having."
"Um, I kind of think that you're missing the point in what she said." Samuel piped up causing both the siblings to turn and look at him. Leo with slight surprise that he had spoken up and Lena with an expected looked as she waited to hear what else had to say.
"The point isn't that you were purposely excluded from joining in but rather, there was no room for you in what we were doing because it was supposed to be a couple thing?" He said the last part a bit uncertainly as he wasn't sure what other word to use to describe what he was trying to say.
"See, even Sammy-boy here understands what I am trying to say better than you do. Couples need ti alone to do stuff without other people occupying the sa space as them. His argunt seed to please Lena as she used it against her brother who was less thrilled that the other had spoken up in favor of his exclusion from the fun.
"It seems like you two are finally starting to get along better." Zane made this comnt as Samuel and the princess looked at each other. Could what they were doing be considered getting along better or were they just getting better learning how to share the sa space?
"I don't mind his company, there's still half a week left go, and even after that six months to decide if everything will work." Lena replied as she went back to focusing on her food again. Samuel didn't know what to say in response to the comnt so he instead chose to keep quiet and focus on his food as well.
After that, the conversation focused more on the board gas than on the couple and how it had been a while they had been touched and so couldn't rember all the gas that had been collected. There was nothing in the conversation however about any intent to play anything before they were put back.
Once dinner was finished and most everyone had been cleared out and the table was cleaned up, Lena decided to catch Samuel before he got ready to leave.
"Co with , there's sothing I want to talk with you about tonight." She told him.
