Lauralye smiled happily when Robert came without a word. She walked next to him, her hand in his as they walked out of the pen and then towards the gardens. He was covered in dirt, while Lauralye stuck to more clean activities. The Princess in her insisted on avoiding dirt whenever possible. She didn't want to avoid him though and leaned against his arm as they walked, her head on his shoulder. She looked up at him, "I like being here... It is like home. It makes not being there... a little easier."

She rose to her toes and gave him a kiss on his cheek, "Thank you for bringing me here."
