~Charley Gates~

*Charley notices the silence and looks up, meeting the prince's eyes. His breath catches in his throat as he realizes the prince has not spoken, his cheeks turning a deep red. He looks away, feeling the weight of the prince's gaze*

*he leans forward a bit, a flicker of curiosity crossing his face as he looks at the basket and the box.*

*Charley notices the prince's curiosity and smiles slightly, feeling a surge of confidence. He reaches out and opens the basket, revealing a small, but beautifully decorated, cake. The prince's eyes widen as he stares at it, his expression softening.*
