She kept her head down as she had always been told to do. She kept quiet still, not uttering a single word without permission from the prince who was leading the group. She took a breath. That was the only sound she made....her breathing. Anyway, she continued to glance around until they got there. She simply nodded as Silius spoke of the morning as they approached that balcony and such. They were soon descending down the stairs and she was careful to watch her step. She watched as the prince had a seat on the bench the other servants had quickly brought out for him. She was relieved when he did not fall down. She would hate to see what would happen to those who were negligent enough to allow that to happen. No one wanted to see him angry, not even her. Anyway, she finally glanced up and saw the pond. She also saw the royal female who sat nearby. She quickly lowered her head again. She did not wish to even make eye contact without permission, let alone speak or anything. She remained silent as the prince and her talked to each other. Like usual, she did not interrupt them or anything. She heard talk of wine and escorts and such, but she did not really listen too closely, as she felt that it was non of her concern. She had no business butting into such things. That was how she felt, and what she thought. She took another breath. She wondered how long it would be before they left, before they moved on to somewhere else. She blinked when she heard her name and raised her head. She finally looked at the prince, but did her best not to make direct eye contact with him. She nodded. She simply sat on the pillow, as simply even saying 'Thank you, your' highness' or something was feared as speaking out of turn. She did as she usually did when she was allowed to sit down, and usually by his side. She leaned against the bench and rested her head there. Rose did nothing else and kept her silent behavior going at that point. She wanted to close her eyes, but kept from doing so. Rose never did ANYTHING without permission. She was quite the submissive servant. It was why others talked about her in such negative ways and often. She ignored most of it, but what she did hear, she simply took the blows as she did not wish to anger the prince or anyone else in the royal family herself. Rose would simply wait after that. It was one of the very very very few things she was allowed to do without permission, or without word from anyone in the royal family. She heard the whispers again not long after that. She almost frowned and she almost let out a sigh. She just barely managed to keep a sigh from forming as the whispers spoke of her again. She secretly wished for the whispers, or any talk of her really, to stop. But, she did not voice that out loud. She feared what would happen if anyone knew she had such thoughts, or such wishes. Although....she did have longings and longed for things she could not have...like a family and a nice home for example. But, alas, such things were not for her. She learned to accept that. She had no other choice, as those things were amongst the many things that she could not have, nor ever be allowed to have. Her fate was sealed, or so she felt.[/center]
