You're a princess. And you're quite proper when you're not in the business of clothing theft. I don't know when or where he's from, but if I threw you in a river I'd worry you'd be upset.
He is of my rank, so he says. So I believe. But that would hardly matter. I think he is handsome. And kindly, mostly, and teasing, and funny when he wishes to be. And very serious. And I find him most-
He was hardly worried I would be upset until well after.
Or he thinks dinner comes before skinny dipping, which is old fashioned in the extreme if you're asking me, but some people do find this kind of manners charming.
Why, but I'd ask him before our lips could meet, 'but, a handsome prince like you, isn't there someone who already holds your heart?' and he wouldn't be able to go through with it at all. You'd have him a crumpled wreck at your door before you know it.
I hate to tell you, but if you're at naked in a river before you're sure he likes you, you're not cut out for the life of an old maid. And thank goodness for that, you're far too young to be mothballed yet.

But I don't feel like I have the whole story here. What changed things?
no subject
But I do not know.
no subject
Well, that might be it.

Stupid?

Still not the whole story. I thought you were the clothes thief in this scenario.

He watched me a bit, and then looked away. And offered to turn around, and so I got out and we went home.

Perhaps I should just do as Peter prefers and be a maid forever.

He did throw me in?
