"None, I'm too scared that I'll guess wrong," she admitted.

"What's wrong with the wrong guess? It's a wonderful process of elimination." Strongheart asked, he saw it as every wrong answer got you one step closer to the right one.

"Well, for starters, I'm wearing the wrong color if I were to go with my first guess."

"The wrong color? How is that dress the wrong color for your first guess?" Strongheart asked curious now, "Hold that thought, I see our last guest. Shall we ask her to join us?" Strongheart asked not waiting for a response. None of the others knew that he had intended to invite Mali as well, come to think of it Mali didn't know what she would be joining them either.

Mali was sitting outside the inn, her mother's constant chatter was driving her nuts again. She loved her mother dearly but if she heard another word about Bryant she was going to scream. Spotting Jules, Celise, Strongheart and the twins making their way down the road she raised her hand in greeting. Casting a glance back at the door, Mali headed over to the group for a quick hello, it had only been a couple of days since she had seen them all but it felt like an eternity.
"AMALIA" her mother called, Mali grimaced a little, this wasn't going to go well. "Were did that useless chit disappear to now?" could faintly be heard coming from the door, Mali had just vacated. Mali was very, very tempted to hide behind Jules and let them deal with her mother but that wasn't fair to them. "I'm here mother, I'll be back in a second." she called out.
"You have chores that need to be done, what is more important then that?" Mali's mother demanded as she exited the inn; upon seeing who her daughter was talking to. "Your Majesty, Celise, Jules, Helena and Etienne." She greeted them, her eyes already drinking in the newest bit of gossip, there was most definitely something going on there. Mali gently corrected her mother by greeting them herself. "Morning Hélène, Etienne, Celise, Strongheart, Jules. How are you all?"
OCC: Helena is not a spelling mistake, mother is using the wrong name.

Strongheart arched an eyebrow at the Inn keeper's incorrect name for Hélène, unfortunately the best thing he could do about it was to ignore her rudeness. Turning his attention to Mali; "Morning Mali, we are just fine. I was wondering if we could persuade you to come with us." Not giving the Inn Keeper more then he had for her gossip. "You won’t mind, will you?" Strongheart asked putting the Inn Keeper on the spot.
He owed Mali a thank you and Strongheart couldn’t think of a better way to play with Jules. Strongheart remembered most of what had transpired when he was a snarlie and knew that even if Jules protested it, he liked Mali. And Strongheart was going to have some fun with that.

"I don't see the problem with it." Mali's mother responded in a pleasant tone, meanwhile her thoughts were running wild why did the prince want to spend the afternoon with her daughter, and now who was going to do the chores? were the two main ones.

"Wonderful, Mali go hang up your apron and let's go." Strongheart said not waiting for Mali to agree or disagree, she was coming besides no one argued with a prince, usally.

After putting her apron away as ordered she rejoined the group and they started on their way. "Hey Jules, is he always like that?"

"Now that we are all accounted for, let's go." Strongheart said, still holding onto Celise, "Where were we? Oh yes, why do you think blue is the wrong color of dress for what we are doing?"

Celise shrugged slightly, not truly wanting to voice her thoughts. She just glanced down at her hand, one that still didn't have a ring that it should have - that is, if he truly loved her and wanted her as his bride.
Jules looked at Mali. "Unfortunately."

Mali just nodded not sure what to make of this, why was she going on this little adventure?

Jules leaned over and grabbed Mali around her waist, and gracefully pulled her onto his lap. "He has something planned, I just don't know what. He wouldn't give me the full details surrounding it."

Strongheart glanced over at Jules, a pleased smirk on his face; well that took care of Jules and when they got to mirror lake it was only a matter of time until the twins found something to explore, leaving him along with Celise.
This latest plan of his was coming together better then expected, but he couldn't give away the surprise just yet. Squeezing Celise in a half hug, Strongheart brushed his lips against her brow. "If you don't want to tell me that's fine. Lovely day for an outing don't you think?" Strongheart asked changing the subject.

Celise blushed shyly when he kissed her and she turned her head to look at him. "Yes, it is a lovely day. White fluffy clouds, blue sky, a nice breeze. Couldn't have picked a better day if you tried."
