Duncan was glad Madeline agreed. He showed her into his office and pulled a chair back for her to sit on. His office was very neat and tidy. Nothing was out of place. Duncan liked to keep it orderly. "Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the suitors present in the castle?" he asked as he sat down. He wanted to know the opinion of the lady in waiting and valued it high as she was a trusted confidante of the Princess. That it helped him spending a bit more time with her was defintily a plus. He hadn't made up his mind entirely. They all had their flaws, some more then others, and their history.

Keiths spirit tempered a bit when Desmond said they probably weren't allowed to roam the castle freely and he had to agree that that might be true. Keith thought a moment before he opened the door and looked around but he couldn't see anyone around. "Excuse me, can we go see the gardens?" he asked into the empty corridor. He grinned as he turned back to Desmond. "Those who stay silent agree." he said with a mischievous glinster in his eyes. "I'd say we can go take a look outside." Keith went inside the room again and opened the window, he enjoyed the fresh air for a second. "I'd say that grass field is still within the castle grounds." Keith said as he looked as if he wanted to climb out of the window. He really needed to feel some fresh air. 
"They didn't forbade us to go out." He added thoughtfully, it was only not very polite and probably not very prince like but Keith had always enjoyed to test the boundaries and just have fun. "We also could go the princess and let her know we want to walk around a bit and in the mean time see if any others have arrived." That would be a bit more polite. Not as polite as waiting till they were summoned but a better then sneaking out.
