[x] Deliver food unto your prince
-[X] Quickly explain that you've found someone that might help us.
--[X] Chase after that woman!
"Thank you," You blurt hurriedly as you grab the drink and food from him. You rush to deliver it to your waiting prince.
"Ah, thank you miss Lethis." He takes a look at the food he's been given. No doubt he's surprised at the lack of quality, but it's the best you could do under the circumstances, right?
"It's no problem at all, really. N-"
"I'm sorry to have been a bother. I hope it wasn't too expensive?" He looks up from his food worriedly.
"Oh, don't worry about that, please. I have more than enough money. But-"
"Are you sure? I don't want you to waste away your money just for me."
You're in a hurry but not answering the prince would be incredibly rude…!
"I'm absolutely sure, I have ample funds, providing you food should be absolutely no problem. Anyways-"
"Well, thank you then, miss Lethis. You've been incredibly kind." He smiles gently.
You can't just interrupt him either, that would be unbearably rude!
"It's nothing, my prince. Now please-"
"Is something...bothering you, miss Lethis?" He looks at you, concerned about your increasingly distressed manner.
"Not at all, it's just," You finally manage to explain to him, "I found a woman who may be able to help us, she's…"
You check to see her, but surely enough she's left already.
"So I must hurry after her, if you'd please excuse me-" You move away quickly, making for the door, hopefully she didn't get very far.
But wait, you'd just be leaving your prince here! Is that safe? In a dingy place like this? What if…
You can just take a look outside, see if the woman is still near…!
You throw the door open and look about. She really didn't get far, she's walking down the path away from the alehouse as slowly as one could imagine!
You rush forward and plant your hand on her shoulder, "Hold a minute, please!" You pull her shoulder back and she twists to face you, "What sort of person just leaves in the middle of conversation?" You bark, slightly irritated she would force you to chase her.
"What sort of person," She starts as she wrests her shoulder out of your grip, "Throws their hands so roughly on a stranger?" She snaps back, slightly irritated you would stop her so rudely.
"Er…" You realize it was slightly rude, but you were in a big hurry, "I apologize for that, but I needed to ask more of you."
"I see," She starts uncertainly, "I apologize for my leaving, but I have other things to do, you see." She apologizes, apparently seeming to realize what she did was a bit rude, even if she was busy. She's in a hurry? Well, so are you! Plus, you've left the prince by himself!
Ahem.
"Then, if I may ask…"
