The Crown Princess - Monday [Cabins and Lido Deck]

It was a beautiful day in the Caribbean! The sun was bright in the cloudless sky, casting no shadows on the open section of the Lido deck: Sunbathers beware. Luckily, the Horizon Court offered umbrellas at some tables for the sun shy.

Near the pools were large lettered signs discouraging guests from diving or jumping into the water due to the lack of depth.

"Are you sure it wouldn't be a bother?" she asked, hesitantly. "As I said, I've no formal training whatsoever. I might be such a novice that I would make a vexing student."

"Trust me," he said, dryly, "When I say that there's no bloody way you could be any more vexing than my current student. You've seen your fair share of a fight; I can hardly retract my offer."

Everyone was worth fighting for. Everyone was worth a chance to fight. Stupid, silly dreams.

"That sounds like a challenge," Alice teased, "to try to make myself more vexing that your other pupil. But I shouldn't like to press my luck. Very well. The Salle, on Mondays? After clubs, or just classes? I have both Art and Entrepreneurship on Mondays."

"In the morning," he said, "No better time to get up and beat something in submission than right before having to face the light of day."

Arthur... really didn't believe in having a lie-in, no.

"Metaphorically, or literally?" Alice asked. "Before dawn, that is, or do you allow for a bit of breakfast before we take weapons out and attack one another?"

Arthur feigned giving it some thought. "A bit of breakfast is all right," he said, "Any more than that, and I'll have to disqualify you."

"Is there a tournament, then?" Alice laughed. "Delightful. I shall be there bright and early, blade in hand. Don't imagine that I will go easy on you, King or no."

Prince, really, but Arthur wasn't the Once and Future Prince, so the other title stuck in her mind.

"Prince," he corrected anyway, because he would take no insult to his father. "If I wanted you to go easy, I'd have directed you to someone else."

"Future King, then," she said, falling into the cadence of it. "I thank you most humbly, Arthur of Camelot."

Still could not quite wrap her mind around that. It tickled quite pleasantly.
