Prince Alexander did his best to dance. He managed a nod. 
"Well...yes....I suppose so."
He could not help but glance back towards his sister. 

Sarah still had her eyes narrowed. She turned away and walked off for a time. 

Alexander saw that and sighed. 
"I...apologize."
He looked at Annalise. 
"..for the outburst you hurt, I mean. I...well...she had been pushing me around for so long, acting like a spoiled brat, and with all that pressure I was under....well...."

He turned a bit red.
