Note: Hmm... I'm bored but the fic seems to be going well... I think. lol.
Story: Jasmine now lives in the castle and is tired of all the boring high-class stuff. Jasmine escapes the palace one night only to be caught by the one person she least expected... Ranesh. Lying to Ranesh by saying that she was taking a walk. He offers that they both finish it, together.

Silver Secrets

Jasmine began saying in a soft voice.
How are you and Marilyn? she asked, nervously staring at her feet with a bored expression to pretend nothing was happening.
Ranesh eyed her carefully and turned his gaze back to the beautiful flowers that grew in front of him.
The wind blew softly and Jasmine's beautiful lock of curls fell to her face and she pushed it to behind her ear with the help of her left hand. They both sat on a brown wooden bench. Jasmine on the left and Ranesh sat crossed legged on the right.
We are both fine. She is still as sweet as ever, he said taking an interest in a particular silver coloured flower that shone brightly with the help of the moonlight, Why do you ask?
It is just that I thought you and Marilyn were engaged or something because you two seem to spend much time together. Jasmine replied quietly, probably repeating something she heard from the servants of the palace. Ranesh looked at her thoughtfully before exploding in fits of laughter.
Jasmine examined him with confusion. She frowned and her nose wrinkled by doing so.
What do you find so amusing? The emerald-eyed girl asked with a huff. After a few minutes, the young dark haired boy managed to regain himself. He turned to face her with a sly smile.
Marilyn and I are but just good friends, he said with a slight chuckle which he tried hard to cover.
We will and forever be only just. he finished. Jasmine gaped at him, trying to register in her mind what he had just said.
But Marilyn said that she was thankful of coming to Del, because if she never had come here she would not have met you. she said remembering the words which the young Toran said when they had returned from their adventure to the lands of Pirra.
Yes, because we share the same similarities and we have many of the same interests. And if we have never have met, she would not have met someone with the same interests as her. I do admit that we spend a lot of time together. But we will never come close to being engaged, as he said this his tone was calm and sweet.
She has someone else who she cares with her whole heart. The last I have heard is that she is engaged to him, which I am glad for because I care for someone else as well. he finished a sweet smile planted on his lips.
If you do not mind me asking, who is this someone? Jasmine asked the curiosity getting the best of her, as she shuffled closer to him waiting not so patiently for an answer.
You should know her, Lady Jasmine. She is beautiful as an angel, as sweet as a princess and as courageous as any warrior. He said giving her a cheeky smile as he ran a hand through his silky black hair. Jasmine crossed her arms and thought for a moment.
Strange, for I have never heard of someone like that in Del. Is the person you speak of from Tora? The only person who can fit that description is a Toran. Toran woman were well bred, beautiful and sweet. Surely Ranesh was talking about a Toran.
I am sorry but you will have to find out for yourself, Lady Jasmine. Ranesh said as he stood up and walked in front of her. Looking up, Jasmine frowned.
If you do not want to talk about it, fine then. I respect your privacy. he smiled and laid out a hand for her.
Thank you Lady Jasmine. As a token of my thanks, let me escort you to your room. he said. Jasmine blinked and thought for a second, before standing up.
I thank you for your offer but I will be fine. she then began to make her way through the night. Ranesh watched her leave and smiled to himself. Amusement twinkled in his eyes like stars in the above night sky.
