"I suppose it's alright." She sighed, "But it would be nice to know why." she said this but her thoughts were elsewhere. She had said Peter was hurt, and the person who had said Lamont's nae did not make her feel any better.

Peter looked from his sister to his now girl-friend. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head. He was still smirking, his shoulders were shaking with silent laughter. The king took a deep breath, but it didn't work in trying to control his laughter. "I'm fine," he told the girls. "I'm fine."

She looked to Peter, who was laughing, then back at Susan, cheeks bright pink by now. She was beyond emberassed. So emberassed, all she could do was babble,
"Well...er....um....."

Susan would laugh if she had already been used to being put into similar situations. Being a queen there were plenty of times where she would leave the castle and nearly everyone she spoke to would be too embarrassed to say anything.
"It's alright," she tole her, "there's nothing wrong with your being here. I just would like to know why."

Peter was wiping tears of laughter. He grinned as he kissed Lyric on the cheek. "Just explain things to Su," he advised with twinkling eyes. "She won't harm anyone. She's as sweet as a flower," he said this last part with sarcasm. The king then ducked his head to protect it from whatever Susan had in mind. He shifted himself so he was siting in Lyric's lap, facing his sister.

Realizing she didn't really have a false story to give, she had to make one up on the spot. It wasn't easy, with the Queen waiting for her answer and Peter sitting on her lap. If the Queen hadn't figured out their relationship by then, she had to have, now.
"Well... I was, er.... wandering. And I got lost..." she said, avoiding her eyes, "And... well, I happened upon here and found... him."
She looked to Peter, and happened to look into his eyes. Her automatic reaction was to smile. He had such lovely eyes...

The girl's words were strange, or more so the way she said them. she seemed afraid, more than people normaly were when they saw her. And never did the two met eyes at any point. These two signs she knew. She wouldn't trust this girl, not for many years. But Peter seemed to like her and for that she would silence her thoughts. It had been far to long since she had seen her brother this happy.
"The forests are far to big for us to expect us to find our way around all the time. I've done it a few times too."

Peter started to snicker at the thought of his sister's frequent nighttime wanderings. He tried so hard to keep his mouth shut but couldn't. He quited a bit, knowing that Susan had something on her mind. He will ask her later when they were alone. He did give his sister a whats-on-your-mind questioning look. He decided to let the girls talk for a bit.

"Yes..." she said, relaxing. The Queen didn't seem to notice that she was extremely nervous, so she relaxed a bit, giving a small smile and finally meeting her eyes,
"It does. I'm just glad I found Peter."
