The moment the door was opened was the moment Lenna turned from where she stood.
"Oh, glad to see you're awake Your Highness, kupo!"
The pink haired twenty year old smiled lovingly at the moogle, "Thank you, Mooge, but you do not have to give royal titles while I am here. I am simply Lenna while I am here."
"Ah, very well...Lenna, heehee," said Mooge as he brought in the cart he had brought with him. It was a pretty good sized cart when compared to the servant needing to use it but he managed it better than anyone had the right to expect.
Lenna went over to the table and began to inspect the food before her. It was quite lavish, just like she had whenever she was at the castle. All of the basic food groups were abound in the selection before her, and she honestly didn't know where to start.
"By the way, may I ask where your partner is, kupo? When I left earlier he was with you but now he's-"
Lenna brought a delicate finger to her lips, "He'll be back very soon."
The moogle went about his business, taking the Princess' word as fact and continued his duty. "Good to know that you two were able to show up without issue. There was a nasty storm that blew through here not that long ago and whenever that happens travelling to the island can be very dangerous, kupo."
Lenna knew this to be true. "Very much so, Bartz and I were very lucky to catch the last ferry to the island before that storm passed through." Though she kept the more intimate details to herself, Lenna wasn't exaggerating on her story. They had indeed managed to make it to the island by the skin of their teeth, but not when they were trying to outrun the storm. It had been when they had to outrun the castle guards that had pursued her and Bartz when they had fled the castle on her sister the Queen's order. From one storm to another, and yet they still made it to their destination to elope together.
They had arrived very late in the night and it was only an hour or so ago that Lenna had finally woken up from her slumber. She need not fear of her sister's retribution for a while at least, and she intended to enjoy herself for the long haul. After she changed out of her dirty yellow dress that is
"I would like a change of clothes before I step outside, please," she asked politely.
The moogle nodded feverishly, "Of course Your-Lenna, miss, I will ask Mr. Mog to help you with that, kupo!" He finished putting out the plates and glasses and from there he completed his duty for the time being. "Alrighty, kupo. I will leave you two to eat and be back for the cart in a little over an hour. Enjoy yourselves, kupo."
The moogle floated away and Lenna waved farewell before turning back to the balcony. It had been nearly an hour since Bartz and left her to go check on his chocobo. There was a stall nearby and in the rush they had during the storm Bartz had said it was a miracle that Boko had survived the trip considering how hard he had pushed him.
Lenna went to the balcony and sighed loudly, an act unbecoming of a princess but she didn't care. She felt free, more free than she had ever been before today. Being on this secret island, one her father had told her about when she had been a little girl, was possibly the closest to paradise that she could think of. The white sand beaches, the clear blue water, and the beautiful green forest of the island that made her eager to explore it made it just about perfect. Especially when she was with the man she loved more than any other on the planet.
As she stood on the balcony Lenna heard her name coming from below.
"Oh my dear Princess Lenna, will you let be with you this lovely day?"
Perring down at the grass below Lenna saw Bartz standing with a smile on his face as he looked lovingly up at his betrothed, having recited a line from a poetry book that Lenna liked to read.
"And I shall welcome thee, handsome prince, with open arms," she replied with her arms wide open as if calling to him.
Bartz chuckled first and Lenna giggled at her own words. Even if the manner in which she spoke was a bit of a jest, her words rang true.
With little effort Bartz began to climb the side wall that went up to Lenna's balcony. A fall climb and one story later he was able to reach her and they immediately embraced like they had not seen each other in a long while. a passionate kiss followed and when they parted they held onto each other for a few lingering moments.
"How is Boko?"
Bartz shrugged his shoulders, "Happy to be on dry land, he's not very fond of the ocean, but the fact he was able to join us on our trip makes me grateful to him."
"I agree, without him I do not know if we could have made it to the island...let alone leave the kingdom at all."
Taking a deep exhale Bartz released Lenna but held onto her hands, "We'll go see Boko together later." He sniffed the air, having smelled the food that Mooge had brought in earlier. "Room service?"
Lenna smiled a cute smile, "Yes, I ordered some while you were away."
Nodding in approval Bartz held onto Lenna's hand and walked her over to the table. He didn't realize how hungry he actually was until he saw all the food on the table, especially the meats. He didn't know what kind of meat was there but man did his mouth water at the sight of it. "Thank you, and we better eat before it gets ruined."
Lenna agreed before taking a seat as Bartz pushed in her chair, "Then we shall go see Boko."
