Crystal glanced at her hand where Irina's fingers were delicately wrapped, and found herself...mostly her face getting hot that Irina had basically asked her not to go. The royal attendant must have been hit over the head a little too hard, because Crystal was not used to Irina acting like this, or maybe she was the one that had been hit over the head; It was after all only a few minutes ago that The Princess had placed a sweet little kiss on Irina's cheek. Crystal acknowledged that she was starting to like Irina more than she originally planned, just judging from the disappointment she felt when Irina moved her hand away, leaving Crystal's feeling quite cold and longing for the simple touch again. As Irina spoke, Crystal's eyes wandered to Irina's lips, the way they moved when she spoke...was sort of hypnotizing to The Princess. Crystal offered a tight lipped smile and looked away with a nod, though she clearly was not all there at the moment. Her mind had wandered to a different place, a place that had nothing to do with what Irina was talking about or The King. What's wrong with me? She wanted to smack herself in the head for thinking such inappropriate things... and towards another woman no less.
She was about to get up, more like speed out of the room, but Irina had suddenly grabbed Crystal and pulled her closer... Her heart was beating so loud she could heard it in her ears, and her cheeks were blushing something furious. Crystal didn't know what to do and was mentally freaking out about what was about to happen. She swallowed nervously and half closed her eyes, but to her surprise... Irina wasn't trying to do anything that Crystal had in mind, though she did have to agree with her Royal attendant that telling The King wasn't a good idea. Crystal didn't want to lie to her father, but it was for the best. She sighed and nodded in understanding, a silent agreement between the two women. Lord Vaross deserved to pay for his crimes against Alegasia, but the whole country of Narsil didn't deserve to burned to the ground for their ruler's actions.
Crystal smiled softly and placed her hands on top of Irina's, "I shall return later to tuck you in." She whispered against her ear before leaning away from Irina, and finally getting up from the hospital bed. She left the room without looking back at Irina, and headed for The King's chambers to discuss the alleged bear attack.
