The next day, Apple and Raven were on their way to Grimhilde White's castle in the back of a limo.
"Are you nervous?" asked Raven as she noticed Apple's left leg was shaking.
"How could I not be nervous, I'm about to have dinner with your mother who hates mine, I can't believe she even invited me to her castle," said Apple without making eye contact.
"It's not too late for us to turn around if you want," said Raven.
"No, that would be rude to her and you, I just have to tough it out," said Apple as she took a deep breath to try and calm down.
"Alright, but if you ever feel like getting out of there just let me know," said Raven as she placed a hand on Apple's left leg. Her leg stopped shaking at the feeling of Raven's hand on it.
"Thanks," said Apple as she looked down, her face bright red. Raven then realized what she had done and pulled away, looking away with a red face of her own. A few minutes later, the car had stopped at the castle.
"It's so good to see you, Raven," said Grimhild as she hugged her daughter once out of the car.
"You too, mother," said Raven.
"And Ms. Queen, it's a pleasure to meet you," said Grimhild before bowing to Apple, which took her by surprise.
"No, the pleasure is mine, Queen Grimhild," said Apple in a frantic manner before bowing back.
"No need to be so nervous, Ms. Queen," said Grimhild as she noticed Apple's hands were shaking once the two stood straight up again.
"And please just call me Grimhild while you're here," said Grimhild with a bright smile.
"Alright, and you can call me Apple," said Apple as she relaxed a little.
"Well then, I hope you two came hungry, because the chiefs made quite the fest," said Grimhild as she led the way into the castle.
