The word princess kept echoing in his mind, but his brain still wasn’t entirely processing it. Perhaps if he hadn’t been so hung up on his dog, maybe he would have connected the dots sooner. He’d at least gleaned enough clues to know she was someone he should probably be respectful towards and perhaps NOT accidentally grab their ass again. Fuck he doubted he’d ever live that one down.
He raised an eyebrow at the comment about sneaking into the kitchens back home. Of course, he often would sneak down into their own kitchens, but he’d never typically consider doing it at someone else’s. Granted at the moment he’d gone off into the kitchens, but he had a reason to be there, he wasn’t just randomly sneaking into them. He did see her point though, even if it wasn’t something he himself would normally do.
Rory on the other hand went from a tail wagging sitting position into a standing tail wagging position at the question that she was asked about going for a walk. She knew what walk meant, and she was eager to get out of the kitchens, as nice as the bones were, she’d rather be with Raphael.
Rory seemed quite happy with her new friend, as Raphael turned to head back out of the kitchens, he caught movement out of the corner of his eye and turned his head, but it just seemed like he caught the tail end of someone lurking off in the shadows. Well, it was Orlais, perhaps he’d just gotten too comfortable being in Ferelden.
Then he heard a servant whispering something about the poor girl and something about having been close with her father. Then he realised that the servants were speaking about the girl he was currently with. The girl with no name. The girl who he was still too mortified to ask her name this late after having first met her. Even if their initial meeting hadn’t exactly been a great opportunity to exchange names. He slowed down and looked over at Addy, tipping his head. She was pretty in her own way, he hadn’t really noticed that before now, and kinda wish he hadn’t. Rory just seemed anxious to get moving and wasn’t liking the hold up.

Well, you do have a point, I suppose.He did his best not to eye roll at the word suppose, and then continued.
She’s around a few Mabaris in Amaranthine, I think she’s picked up on some of it from them.He wasn’t expecting them to continue to hang out like that, he wasn’t sure how he felt about it, probably equal parts annoyed and intrigued maybe, he really didn’t know.

Well, as long as Rory wants to, who am I to deny herHe was suddenly feeling a bit awkward that he still didn’t know her name, but now it felt like too much time had passed to ask now. It made him start thinking about where she might be from, which got him thinking about her accent. though he pushed the thought out of his mind, he was just overthinking shit. Did he really care who she was? She was annoying, that was what, beyond that at the moment he was just trying really hard not to think about her.
