Hans was disappointed to see the green carriage. He had hoped he would be early enough to be the only guest. He was going to ride-up to this carriage and demand that they go away and return later. But, he was distracted by one of the palace insects, so he responded with sarcasm. "No, of course not. I was going to room with my horse in the stables." He dismounted from the horse, then handed the bridle to the servant. "Of course, I'm staying at the palace you idiot. See that my horse is properly taken care of."
