She wanted to be there already! Shifting side to side in her saddle had only irritated her mount to no end, and that had irritated her escort to no end. It wasn't her fault that her bird had skittered sideways into his!
Still, he'd threatened to paralyze her for the rest of the journey if her bird did it again, which had effectively killed her fidgets. Him being her escort meant he wasn't supposed to do things like that. Him also being a mage meant that she couldn’t count on getting him in trouble if he did do it.
She was a princess, he was a mage. Her aim of being a Queen didn't mean diddly when not dealing with someone from her own court. Even if he looked it. She bet his mom was from Wutai.
Shaking thoughts of the mage out of her head, she looked around the city. Mideel. She'd heard about it, but she'd never seen it before. In fact, she'd missed her sister's wedding because of something political back home. She'd totally saved Reeve's cookies this time, but that didn't make up for not seeing Mr. I'm-too-mysterious-for-my-own-good.
But! She was here now! That was what counted. She was here now and she was going to see her sister, and meet the rumor laden Sephiroth.
And maybe, if she did it right, she could find someone fun to talk to here too. A someone that wasn't a stuff shirted mage who needed to get laid, and wasn't doing their level best to suck up to her. She eyed up the back of her escort's robes. Green, of course. Galetha's noble colors and all that. Why couldn't he have worn any of her noble colors? She'd bet a good penny he'd look good in them.
"Lady Yuffie, you can't get us there faster by giving me dirty looks."
"Oi! I wasn't! I just... was thinking. You know, we're back to your home and all so, well, you got a special someone here that you were staying all stiff lipped for back in Wutai? Huh?"
Dark eyes glanced back to her, and she felt a grin coming on at his horrified look. The mage was so fun to tease. "No. Nothing of that sort at all Princess."
"Riiiight, so there's nobody here who calls you just plain 'Tseng' huh?"
"No." He turned forward again, kicking his white bird up to a trot. If she didn't know better she'd think he was trying to get away from her. He cut off her next tease though, and his words made her look from him to the road she'd been ignoring. "We're almost there, so just settle down for a bit longer Lady Yuffie."
She nodded, but was a bit too busy taking in the tall spires of the castle only just visible past the wall in front of them. "Yeah."
There was only a few moments of silence before she had another thought though. "Hey Tseng?"
"Yes, Lady Yuffie?"
"Do you think they'll try to make me wear a dress?"
There was a long pause in response to her question, then finally a sigh. His tone was very put upon, which she thought was totally unfair. "Yes, Lady Yuffie."
"Damn."
Ah well, at least she had one thing to look forward to anyway.
