"Hello again." Elizabeth smiled at him, waving slightly. "I'm sorry that I had rather curtly ended our last conversation. I had a, previous engagement and was rather late as it was." Even slightly sheepish, she still remained rather regal as her title had trained her to do so. "I do hope I haven't made the impression that I'm rude."
"——Oh, my. Hello," he greeted, a dazzling smile twitching his lips upward.
"No, no, no, Miss. It’s quite alright. I understand what it’s like to have previous engagements and not have even the slightest time to talk, believe me. I know your intentions were not rude. Do not fret."
