@xfdominik !
regina hadn’t been in buckingham for long at all and she was already itching to get out of the tall walls , so she did . into a coffee shop nearby , sat down with her laptop and earbuds and began working on an article on the last manifestation she’d been to , had a coffee and a bagel and halfway through decided to go back . she was the future queen of monaco , who had arrived late and ought to make act of presence the most she could . duties . but first , she ordered another coffee for herself , and for some reason decided to buy another one . she’d surely find someone who would enjoy it . and if she didn’t ? then she would enjoy it ... and be high on caffeine for a few hours . no harm in that , surely . in buckingham’s gardens , the royal walked with the two to - go mugs and her scarf still wrapped around her neck , the bag that hung from her shoulder carrying the laptop , a pencil case and not much else . and that’s when she saw a face she hadn’t seen in a while , changing slightly the course of her feet so she could come to his encounter . ‘ hey , you ! ‘ she called out cheerfully . ‘ coffee ? ‘
