Anastasia was surprised when Samsul took her hand. She looked up at him, shocked, as he explained that he would stay behind and watch over the palace and country. She gave him a smile as he squeezed her hand, asking her to send him a letter once in a while, just so that he could know she was okay. She grinned, "I'll send you a letter every day if it makes you happy."

She squeezed his hand back, "Thank you, Samsul."

George looked up at the Lost Elf and nodded, "Yes, thank you, Samsul."

He then looked to Anastasia, "I'm going to talk to... Gerald. See when he sees fit that we leave. Go and enjoy your festivities, Anastasia."

She nodded to him then looked at Samsul and laughed a little, "I'm starving."
