Elena and Paige walk to the orchards together, waiting to meet the prince. Elena loved how the sun felt warm on her cheeks.

Paige walked to the orchards with Elena besides her. It had taken a little bit to find the place but they found it. So, as they waited for the prince to come and meet them, Paige took in the sights. She saw different kinds of fruit trees, more food then she had ever seen before. Oranges, apples, pears, and so much more where to be seen.
Elena and Paige stood there in silence. Elena also looked around. She had worn sandals because the sun was out and shining like it always was in Angeles. A small breeze made a few strands of her braided har sway around her face.
Casbian came, he was in a rush, he didn´t realize the amount the time he had to get ready. He wore a neat button up and some black pants and over the button up was a brown waist coat over it.
He held his hand behind his head, ¨Sorry, I didn´t notice the time...¨ He looked over both girls, they were gorgeous. But he noticed there was a girl he saw, but never talked to. ¨My name is Casbian.¨ He gave a little wave to both Paige and Elena.
"I am Elena," She said with a smile. She wondered what Casbian was thinking about. He was as handsome as they say, probably more. Elena was a different kind of beautiful. More of the plain kind. Brown chestnut hair, and light brown eyes, tan skin. She had a kind smile, one that she used with her students.
¨It´s a pleasure to meet you.¨ He seemed formal, but he took Cal´s advice too, he looked over at Paige, then between both of them ¨How have you been?¨ He asked both of them. He watched both of their reactions, and watching around, so this little date or event, wouldn´t turn for the worst. ((Lol he was looking to see if Cal was around))
Elena smiled, "A little stressed and tired," Elena said. She pushed a few strands away from her face. She blushed a bit, her pinks starting to turn light pink. The wind brushed the grass up against her ankles. "And you? How have you been?" She asked.

Paige smiled at the prince, "Wonderful to see you again Prince Casbian. As you know already, I'm Paige" She said as she glanced at Casbian and Elena both, "I've been well, I feel like so much as changed already since we arrived here" She replied, "I hope you've been well yourself. Though I bet it's been stressful and a tad tiring. Oh! May I also ask how that girl is? The one you attended to earlier? I do hope she's okay and not ill or anything" Paige's voice seemed to have changed. She wasn't using a casual voice, like she had used with Elena. She now used a more formal voice with a hint of her normal voice here and there as well.

(( Things like that just happen. I figured it was bound to happen with people's hatred for the caste system, so, someone who manages to climb up from near the bottom decides to do something. So, when I created Cal, it was a darker part of the whole royalty and hierarchy that I wanted to portray with him, as you see stuff like that happen all the time. He probably did it to plant ideas of rebellion and overthrowing the royal family in the kid's head. Though, as he wasn't there for the first half of the kid's upbringing, it took a while. He needed a bit more time to fully get there. They estimated that if the guard had only been with Cal for two to three years at most that he would have accomplished his goal. Angelo is an absolute sweetheart. I hate him lolol
"I've been doing quite well." He responds to both of their questions. He pauses. he hopes Vivien was doing okay, he didn't think to ask her how she was feeling before he left. 'Idiot.' He thought to himself, he really was one. "I hope she's doing well, I had to leave because something came up, but she had something to eat." He smiled slightly, at least it was the closest thing to a smile you'll bring from him, again he's a brick wall, he knows he is bound to come over it someday but not until he knows he can trust these two young ladies.
He glances over at the freshly grown trees, "Have you explored the palace yet?" He asks both of them.
Mod
Paige nodded her head with a bob. She didn't, of course, actually know whether or not the prince was doing good himself. But she had no choice but to accept it as the truth, if the prince decided to trust her, then he'd tell her, "Oh that's good! I might check on her later, just to make sure. Not that I think you're lying of course" She added quickly with a slightly panicked look, "You just don't sound completely sure" Paige finished. She followed Casbian's glance before adding, "I have not. Well not yet. I've been spending time with Elena" She said with a bright smile, "I'm hoping to explore the palace soon, maybe after dinner tonight or tomorrow. But I'm in no rush at all. The Selection could take months, so I have time. Even if I'm gone first, I'll still have time" She answered.
Elena nodded, again Paige rose to the occasion of talking with the Prince. She felt as though she didn't belong. The Prince seemed to enjoy Paige's company. Of course, she was happy for her new friend. Elena kept a smile on her face. She wished that the Prince knew how much she liked him.

Casbian froze, looking at both Paige and Elena, before looking down.
He got an idea, hopefully to lighten the mood, not that it was dim.
"Do you guys enjoy classical music?" He asks, he hoped to share something in common with both of them.
"Oh I love it, one of my students her name is Lea. Oh, she can play so beautifully on the violin. She tried teaching me once, I can tell you that I am no good at it." Elena said with a smile. She absolutely loved listening to classical music, well she loved it when she could listen to it.
Mod
Paige waited a minute before replying, just so that she could have another look at the beautiful looking trees and so that Elena could have a chance at speaking to the prince. She turned back to the prince and Elena with a slight frown, "Please don't laugh or make fun of me" She started with a mumble, "I've never gotten the chance to hear much music, let alone classical. I've never had enough money or time. I'm always working, well that is until I came here. I'm sorry.." Paige said all very quickly.
Elena turned around, her face fell. She felt so bad. "Well I brought a stereo and you are to use it whenever you like." Elena said placing her hand onto Paige's arm. Now that Elena had responded to the Prince she felt like she shouldn't have said anything. She wished she could take back what she said. How do you describe someone that feels so bad, it feels like someone is ripping out your heart then putting it back in and doing it all over again.
Casbian listens to what their answers were, taking mental notes.
"Why don't we go to my room instead." He watches the interaction. "I enjoy playing the violin." He looks over to Paige "And maybe you could listen to classical music, and see what you think of it." The slight smile softened while looking between both girls, though he originally planned to go for a walk, he didn't mind going back to his room to play his violin.
Elena looked back at the prince and smiled, she knew she absolutely liked the prince but she wanted to make sure her friend was ok. She looped her arm through hers and followed the prince. A smile was on her face.
Mod
Paige smiled softly at Elena, "Thanks Elena, that's overly kind of you. I'm really sorry though, I shouldn't have said anything at all or at the very least I could have just said the I've never listened to classical. But thank you a lot. Maybe I'll be able to send a recording to my siblings? They'd love to hear it. Mostly Wyatt, he loves music the most" She replies with a soft laugh, her mood already quickly raising.
"To your chambers? Sure.. if Elena is okay with it. Oh! You play the violin as well? Just like Lea!" She pointed out with a soft giggle.
Paige looped her arm with Elena's with another smile and nodded towards the prince, "Well then, let's go!" She said.
Elena looked to Paige, "Why would it have to be ok with me? We are both on the date here with the prince. " Elena said. She walked with the Prince and Paige to his room.
Mod
"True but if you ended up not wanting to go, then I would have also not have gone. It'd be awkward and I like having you around!" Paige said directly towards Elena as she followed her and Casbian.
Elena laughs and they continue to follow the prince. ( yes I know that this is short but the only reasons because we keep repating the same things lol)
(( The prince is on a date with two girls and taking two girls to his chambers
scandalous. Imagine the rumors Cal will hear later-
Mod
((Yeah XD I didn't expect much, I drew a blank while writing, I just wanted Paige to reply to what Elena said XD))
Mod
and taking two girls to his chambers
scandalous. Imagine the rumors Cal will hear later-"
((Oh no the rumors! XD Those where kind of my thoughts actually.. To be honestly. I wonder where Cal will hear them from, maids? Other selected? Hmm))
(( Cal has people everywhere - He sees all lolol Nah, he chats with the staff, mainly those in the kitchen. because you know, rumors spread like wildfire.
The prince smiles as he leads the two girls off to his suite.
He walked ahead of the two, just so they can have a moment to their selves, also so he could stop himself from smiling in front of them. The two had such a good friendship, he wanted something like that for his self, but that wasn't too possible. He enjoyed the fact that the two seemed to enjoy their selves.
