Part 2 Claude- Excuse me *he says softly*

Guard- *he doesn't speak but instead opens the door and look down*

Claude- Thank you (Not surprised, no one ever speaks to me) *walks in and notices a maid looking at him like a deer in front of a carriage*

Jhan- *Staring kind of blankly* (THIS IS THE PRINCES ROOM!?! Wow he’s pretty mousy) U-um hello hi I was just uh- cleaning? *hiding the paper behind his back*

Claude- (what she’s talking to me? Must be new here but wait- she's talking to me!!) Oh, hello continue to do what you were doing, and I noticed you looking at my studies though I don’t suppose you can read can you?

Jhan- I can read (oops- I shouldn’t have said most of the people in this kingdom can’t read) *They add* I'm self-taught I've read books I quite enjoy poetry and plays.

Claude- Really? *he says excitedly* (Ive never met somebody who actually speaks with me about what they like) Do you like A midwinters daze?!

Jhan- Ive read it but Ive never gotten to see it preformed (What is going on here?!?) *Sets paper down and walks towards the door slowly*

Claude- Hey wait please don’t leave (No! we’ve just started talking) *He grabs Jhan's hand and then trips* *they knock heads together* I'm so sorr- So- sorry *stutters and then just stares*

Jahn-*they rub their head and then realize their bonnet fell off. * (Cr ap- Hes seen my ears) *Grabs bonnet from floor and shoves it back onto their ears* so now what

Claude- *Just plain confusion* wait you're a demi-human, but you’ve haven't tried to eat me? *He is now considering his whole life is a lie*

Jahn- *shocked* wait, eat you? *bursts out laughing* Where'd you hear that nonsense. (I'm actually a dire human but he doesn't need to know that yet)

Claude- (I thought it was just common knowledge) *He is now embarrassed* I was wrong? They teach everyone demi-humans are monsters.

Jhan- And you believed them? *slightly shocked* (this guy is either gullible or all of the humans think this.) *they stand and offers their hand to Claude, a peace offering. *

Claude- *Hesitantly takes Jhan’s hand and is pulled off the ground. * Well yes, I never really thought to doubt it; and you're not really a girl, are you?

Jhan- Um no I'm not a girl exactly and what are you going to do to me? (I have no idea what to make of this guy I usually know how a person's gears turn.)

Claude- *Walks over to the couch by the fireplace, sits down and pulls his knees to his head. * I don’t know!

Jhan- Hey are you okay? *They realize the position he put the prince in.* I could just go and pretend nothing happened.

Claude- *shocked and then panics* No, no, no, no, don’t go yet I- just sit here for a sec. *hurriedly pats the space next to him*

Jhan- okay
