♔ The Selection ♔ discussion

Rose walks in and sees that she has a balcony and she goes to it. She opens the doors so the fresh air can stream in. She looks around the balcony and sees in the corner yet another nest. She crouches down next to it smiling

~Next day~
Rose wakes up and chooses a dress. She wasn’t used to wearing dresses, she hoped the one she had chosen wasn’t to much. She checks on the birds, making sure they are all right. She leaves the room heading to the dining hall. ((https://pin.it/7xNIYJo))

Rose walks in and changes into a more comfortable outfit. After she is changed she goes out to her balcony. She sits down next to the nest, there are three baby blue jays in it about old enough to start leaving home. She picks one up lightly making sure not to injure it and sets it down out side the nest doing the same with the others. ((https://pin.it/5UXCpTo))

Rose sets the birds back in their nest. She changed back into her dress. She had chosen to go back down to the gardens. She leaves her room.

Rose walks in and sits down on her balcony. She takes the birds out of the nest again. They birds start hopping around and one is brave enough to walk up to her which makes her smile

Rose sighs. “Just because I don’t like him I think I hurt him I should really go apologize” she mutters. She stands up and sets the birds back in the nest though one doesn’t want to go so she lightly picks them up. She leaves taking the last bird with her hoping none takes it she hides it in her cupped hands

Rose walks in with Dylan. She quickly goes out to the balcony and crouches down next to the nest. She smiles when she sees the other two baby birds and sets Apollo down in the nest

Rose nods standing up. “It is strange” she says. “I don’t know what to do with all this space” she says. She walks back over to Dylan

“I would love to hear you play your guitar” she says. “You seem to like it a lot” she says smiling. “So training room?” She asks

“You don’t have to if you don’t want to” She says. As she leads the way

((She is in the training room now))

Rose looks around her room and sees that in the corner there is now the guitar she had in the music room. She smiles and starts practicing it on the balcony

Rose puts her guitar away and leaves for the library

Rose returns with a history book and a music book full of songs for her to play. She continues practicing setting the history book on a best

*desk

Rose practiced for a few minutes and then sets the guitar down and starts reading

Rose went to return the history book to the library

Rose walks in quietly. “Today has been weird..” she murmurs laying back on her bed. “That’s the only time I ever mentioned that to anyone..” she says thinking about her comment to Angeline. “I also told Prince Dylan about my hearing think” she murmurs. She closes her eyes

Rose falls asleep. A few hours later she wakes up and having nothing to do she practices her guitar with Apollo wandering around her room

Angelina knocks on the door

Rose looks up. She sets her guitar to the side and stands up. Opening the door

Angelina waves(view spoiler)[ (view spoiler)[ (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

“Do you need something, princess?” She asks hesitantly a little worried about why Angeline was there

"Yes." "I have a question.." She says slowly. Then she hesitates, "Actually never mind.."

“What is it, princess?” She asks

"Just forget it." Angelina says.

“Oh..” Rose says understanding “Is it about what I said earlier?” She asks

She nods slowly, "I mean..how do you know?"

“Um...” she stutters faltering not liking to talk about it “My sister was depressed” she lies quickly even though she has never had a sister

"Sumner told me her sister was depressed and she died last year...I don't want to die." The she pauses and holds back tears. "But I can't take being sad..its like one second I'm fine,cheerful but then I'm not"
"I just don't want to be sad anymore."

“Think about the ones you love, it helps. Think about how happy they make you and everything they do to protect you.” she says quietly and then freezes feeling someone watching them “Who is there?” She calls past Angeline

She nods and the turns red, "Great..someone's watching and now there going to know" She thinks

Angelina looks around, " I don't see any one.."

“Hm” Rose says but then turns back to Angeline “Is that all you wanted, princess?” She asks

She nodded

Rose smiles “Well I was just going to go to the music room. Bye princess” she says passing her and leaving

Angelina nods and leaves

Rose walks in and sits on her bed, still a little dazed. “Why does he keep surprising me?” She thinks shaking her head her eyes amused. She walks out to the balcony picking up Apollo she sets them on her bed while she practiced her guitar trying to get her mind off Dylan.

Rose leaves a few hours later

Rose walks in, takes a shower and changed into a dress her maid had given her. She sits down on her balcony with Apollo in her lap. She hums quietly leaning her head on her door and closing her eyes

Rose runs in and starts pacing. “I can’t be right” she thinks still pacing. “I have to tell him though” she thinks “He asked for my help.” She sighs “He is talking to one of the selected girls at the moment though, maybe I can just write him a note so he knows and he can come when ever” she thinks and then scribbles a note and gives it to her maid who quickly leaves and she continues to pace

Dylan knocks on the door. ‘I really hope she is in her room ‘ He thought as he waited for someone to answer the door.

She opens the door and then continues pacing

((Sorry I don’t get notifications for this))

Dylan looked up at her. Frowning at how she was pacing the room. "What’s wrong?" He asked.

((Oof also long sentences coming LoL))

“We already know there was no peace treaty. Having met your father I would assume his reason for war is injured pride. Seeing how much the rebel we met wanted to take your sister for ransom or something it seems they wanted protection from your father so he must have already done something. He is planning war now because he either thinks everyone is to weak to stand up against him or they would agree with him...” Rose says and then freezes

"So what can we do?" He asks, taking in all that she had just said. It made sense. Father had been tense recently and she made good points about the rebel meeting.

“The selection..” she says slowly freezing

Dylan wasn’t exactly following her thought process. He was still new to all the strategic thinking.
