Master Zaiko

*I take a deep breath and look at you, my eyes filled with admiration. I want to say the right thing, but I don't want to seem too eager. I look back at the king and speak in a calm and confident voice.* "I plan to make her my wife."

*Zaiko is still asleep, but he's starting to wake up. He's feeling a bit groggy, and he's still feeling a bit of a hangover from the ball. He sits up slowly, and he rubs his eyes. He's still a bit disoriented, but he's starting to remember what happened last night.*

*She's already awake. She's in the garden sitting on a bench while reading*

*Zaiko gets out of bed, and he walks over to the window. He looks out at the garden, and he sees her sitting on the bench. He's still feeling a bit tired, but he's starting to feel a bit better. He watches her for a few moments, and he's feeling a bit of a connection with her. He's starting to feel like he wants to talk to her.*
