After leaving the shop, Samsul jumped onto his horse and waited for Anastasia. He knew that his horse wouldn't run away or do anything, and if someone were to try and take the horse, it would react and and alert Samsul of what was happening. He saw her praising the horse for being calm and patient and looked at her directly as she spoke to him. What she had said was true. He never really left the castle walls unless it was crown related, meaning that he'd go to fetch things like ingredients or dresses, or even sometimes escort the queen when she wanted to walk around. He was a little embarrassed at the fact, but he couldn't really do anything about it, and now that there was a possibility of him becoming the head of the guards, and in turn his family, he had even less time to tend to himself. If she would be going into the city more often,then he'd get out just as much and become a little more normal.

He had thought about bringing her back to the castle to receive teachings from Gerald, and had honestly wondered if the Queen was willing to allow her daughter to be 'properly trained' and possibly become the thing that she despises. Thinking back, he never heard her say that it was a requirement for her to receive the training, and it could have been possible that Elana had intended for Anastasia or himself to pick up on that fact and use it to her advantage. He sat there on his horse and looked at her. "Maybe. If you wish to roam around the city some more, we can do that. I'm sure that Gerald wouldn't mind if we were outside of the castle for a little longer."
