The blonde princess saw the other princess's subtle request for Aleandra to join in on their conversation, in which she put her hand up and shook her head, turning towards the water once more. She didn't want to intrude, and figured it would be rude to pull away Ydrian from the conversation at hand. It wouldn't be as bad as her mind played out, although old friendly reunions should be done one on one. That's how she saw it. Somewhat surprising, Ydrian approached her this time. Interesting, although the other girl was behind him, Aleandra assumed he just had pardoned himself.
"Prince Ydrian, as much as I appreciate your time coming to me, I purposefully distanced myself from the conversation as to avoid being rude and to keep up professional mannerisms." Aleandra smiled to the prince, bowing her head slightly as she shifted her tone slightly. After all, he was a friend. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't present herself properly. Habits anyways. Aleandra folded her hands in front of her, before speaking up once more.
"My only concern with people around here is that some treat meeting strangers as if they were old friends separated by circumstance." She gently laughed for a moment, before her smile lit up slightly. Her tone began to shift to a more friendly tone, as she relaxed, though didn't drop her small indicators of formality.
"With that in mind, It's been too long. It's been mostly entertaining, and I look forward to the whole experience. And you? How have you been?" A part of her was relatively worried for this conversation, as Aleandra had already a bad experience with old friends gone astray. That being said, since he was already comfortable talking to her, things couldn't be that bad. Unless he somehow ended up becoming stuck up or blinded by power. Somewhat doubtful, although possible.
