As Niko stood nearer Elizaveta, he recalled how they had parted the night before. She had pressed a light kiss on his cheek and he had only stared at her as she walked away. His cheeks had flared a bright pink color. While he was sure the Duchess didn't see his reaction, he was sure Leon did. Not wanting to be teased by how he had reacted, Niko had cleared his throat and immediately excused himself. For all the training he's ever had with running a kingdom, for all the formality he carried himself with, it was a little disconcerting that a simple kiss on the cheek from a beautiful woman would fluster his usual calm demeanor. Sure, he knew countless beautiful women from Anduin's court but none of them really interested him the way his bethroted did. And none of them really had the guts to come up to him and actually kiss him.

[color=00aeef]"Truth be told, I believe the time difference is still affecting my sleep. But an early morning walk and watching the sunrise had most definitely refreshed me,"[/color] he paused and then gave his bethroted a relaxed smile. [color=00aeef]"Perhaps you would like to see it with me one of these days,[/color] he suggested. 

A cheeky thought ran through his head. Maybe it was childish of him but he wanted to see if Veta would react the same way he did. He leaned down and pressed a kiss on her cheek the same way she did the night before. And then he flashed her a bigger grin. [color=00aeef]"Þú ert falleg. You look beautiful,"[/color] he complimented her both in his native tongue and in English before he straightened up and greeted Feora. [color=00aeef]"Good morning, Princess Feora,"[/color] he acknowledged her with the same grin on his face.
