	Elizaveta smiled over towards Nikolai and nodded though she was a bit concerned. Gossip and stories? She wasn't one for gossip and she doubted any of her stories of growing up behind the walls of her Empire. Glancing around she noticed that were more coming in and she greeted each one in turn with a smile, a warm welcome, and a nod of greeting with her head. It seemed that others were perhaps still sleeping or maybe they had left in the night, not happy with whom they were betrothed with, either way she wondered if any others would make their appearance to breakfast. Time was passing and the sun was growing in the sky. The night was supposed to be filled with dancing and getting to know each other more. Yet looking around it seemed that the number of men and women was completely one-sided at this time. 

	As Nikolai walked over to another she made her way over to the food finally and grabbed herself a few small items to nibble on. She was never one to be truly hungry in the morning, it usually took her being up a while and doing various activities before her want of food truly kicked in. Perhaps she should go do something. There was a lot going on and frankly she wasn't used to dealing with so many people she was unacquainted with at once, though she figured she would have to get accustomed to it at one point. Yet, that didn't mean she had to right then. If they were going to have the Gala that evening and a slumber party the following night, it would give her plenty of time, and there was also the next three months. That settled it, it was time to do something and what she wanted to do was get some fresh air. 

	Turning, she stepped over to Nikolai and smiled as she rested her hand on his arm. [color=a187be]"Excuse me for but a moment but I believe I am going to step out for a bit. I feel that a brisk ride this morning would do me wonders,"[/color] she said in a gracious voice. [color=a187be]"Gentlemen, ladies,"[/color] she said with a tilt of her head before turning and heading out of the breakfast room with Sergi on her heels. 

	"Leaving without the rest of the guests showing up?" he asked as he escorted her back towards her chambers. 

	[color=a187be]"Yes, I need some fresh air so I concluded that a morning ride would be just the thing,"[/color] she explained before stepping into her room with him posted outside of the door while she changed. Normally she would have chosen something a bit more formal to ride but the rolling hills of the country she was visiting made her feel a bit more free so she opted for something more [url=http://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/029bdfce-d9f2-413c-9ba8-f965270e4a1c.png]comfortable[/url]. Once finished she headed down to the stables, Sergi following close behind her as she found a steed that seemed to respond to her before she began to saddle him. The stable hands looking at her oddly as she waved them away and explained that she had this herself.
