His presence at the summit now seemed like a mistake. Not that he could avoid his being there, but he wished that he had stayed away from the common areas — too many people from his past seemed to populate the palace, and caused him some unrest. Still, he was not expecting that particular individual to cross his path. It felt as if his heart had sunk into his stomach upon catching sight of her. After the accident, the two had not spoken ( not properly ) as their parents were keen to keep them apart. But, it did not stop him from feeling a great amount of guilt over what had happened. He wanted to avoid her; to walk away from the situation. The openness of the palace gardens did not deem it so, as his eyes met her’s from the short distance between them. He wasn’t going to be rude, instead slowly approaching her with a solemn look on his face. “Forgive me, if I knew you were here, I would have arranged a meeting.” He commented, just wanting to say something to avoid awkwardness. // @izzyadore
