“I support I could, but I was going to offer my condolences.” Jaime hadn’t chosen to be betrothed to the Scottish Princess and his feelings towards the matter were complicated, tangling up the way he thought of his brother and the future. There was resentment involved, and he thought he was well equipped to sympathize with the princess.

yulia sits up, intrigued. “now, i wasn’t expecting that. thank you.” she nods her head, eyes scanning the other in front of her. “are you unhappily betrothed, as well?” something in her mind was nagging at her that that wasn’t the most polite question, but yulia wasn’t exactly know for being polite.

Chances were that you shouldn't go around telling your country's business to just anyone and Jaime knew that, but he also knew that scandals easily spread. "My brother married for love, so it's fallen to the rest of us to make the beneficial matches that he won't. I'm engaged to the Princess of Scotland." And his encounters with her family so far… hadn't been the best.

“Come now, aren’t you the least bit curious how things are going outside the walls?” He was. Yes, the assassination attempt on the queen was a terrible thing, but the rumors of the plague seemed even more deadly to him because an assassin could only kill one person at a time and likely had motive - the plague killed indiscriminately and in large numbers. And if you wanted to accuse him of just wanting to get outside for a while… perhaps that was true as well. @1642hqzstarters

Sorcha knew the young man was supposed to be Alba's future husband and while she wasn't Alba's mother, she still felt qualified to say that he left something to be desired. She wasn't certain if she believed the rumors of the plague or thought it was just a scare tactic to keep them all inside, but even she could see how he was being foolish and reckless. "I'm curious how things are at home, and I'm curious if someone is going to stab a knife in my back. After that, my curiosity ends."

That sounded very narrow-minded and lacking in imagination, but if a mistress was going around thinking she was important enough to be stabbed when the attack had been on a queen, maybe she did have an imagination after all… unless it was the scottish queen with the knife, because it didn't take long before the rumors of that drama reached him. What did his future wife think of the drama, he wondered. "But it's important to know how the people outside of the court feels, don't you think?"

she could barely contain the rolling of her eyes as the door opened. yulia thought for sure that she had found a private room to pout in. the grand princess had so many emotions swirling inside her, that she wasn’t sure how to express them. “i suppose you’re here to congratulate me on my betrothal,” she replies, miserably.
