Aleksandr was slightly sad to see Nadia arrive late and leave early. He was very fond of Nadia and maybe took too much of a liking for her. He generally hid this from his brothers and sisters, and especially his mother and father, the King and Queen. Perhaps this ran in royal blood.

He continued eating and said nothing, acting stoically toward Nadia arriving and leaving. If anything, he felt slightly embarrassed to say anything when she said, Hello--expecting the oldest to reply first. He said nothing, as well. Prince Aleksandr continued eating, feeling the need to leave the table just as Nadia had--to go see where her mind was dwelling. She was acting abnormally. 

His mind kindly thought of the noise he heard earlier this morning, perhaps there was something to do with the noises. He sighed and excused himself, thanking his family for the breakfast. He bowed and left the room.
