[b][color=#d896ff]"It's good to see you, miss Rosenving."[/color][/b] The prince sheepishly said, a crack forming in the mature gentlemanly visage he tried to put up as the teenaged boy peeked from within. The crack furthered into a near-awkward nervous pause as Jazdia pressed him further, though thankfully the added conversation with the bear-man bought him some time to mend it. The adventuring party was... almost exactly how he imagined one, like those in the stories, although perhaps missing a dashing young leader with penchant for cringy heroic speeches.

He decided that it's probably for the better.

In my capacity as a prince I'm afraid it'll likely be nowhere as grand as whatever my father have promised your team, but it will not be for lack of trying."[/color][/b] Alec thought that it's a good enough deflection. Whatever he could personally gift out wouldn't be overly precious compared to a king's bounty. If they wanted to cash in the favor immediately, then so be it. But he prefers to properly pay back his rescuers after his ascension to the throne. Hopefully he's better at negotiation by then. [b][color=#d896ff]"That aside, I'm not familiar with most of you.
