"Study the stars" He said, smiling sheepishly. "It's a little wierd, but I'm fascinated by them. It'll never help me in the future, but still." He said, shrugging. They began to approach the stable and he put on the stoic prince mask once more--something he hated he had to do--before leaving the horses to the stable hands. "Put her horse away with such care of a newborn, understand?" He snapped at the stable hands, the hands nodding and doing so. Caelan placed his hand on the small of her back, leading her to his study and shutting the door behind them. His face was back to it's normal self, his entire mood was in fact. "So, what do you want to check out?" He asked, his arms wide as he walked to his telescope and pointed it at the very visible stars. "Come see" He said, holding his hand out for her.

"Sure" He said, opening his sketchbook and placing it beside the telescope. "This one I still need to name, but it isn't in any of my textbooks. A new star, can you believe it? They've always fascinated me and I got this telescope a few years back when my studies began to become serious..." He kept talking on and on about his stars, willing to answer any questions. He showed her all the sketches he had made of various stars and planets, explaining them in as simple of terms he could manage. "I'm boring you, aren't I? I'm sorry, sometimes I get carried away..." He muttered, apologizing sincerely and shutting his sketchbook before setting it on his bookshelf. "There's gotta be something you'd like to do before dinner?"

"Of course." He said, nodding. He offered her his arm as he led her out of the placae grounds and into the calm town. There were merchants calling out their wares in hopes for a buyer wherever you turned, currency being exchanges with the royal T in cursive for the Thorne family initial on every coin. It was a large burden, bing king or even prince, but Caelan was determined to make the best of it.

"We currently have a population of over 50 thousand, without including our army" He said softly. "Our army is quite large as well, though I don't know those numbers." He led her to a cart that sold sweets and bought her a few of his favorite treats and pastries. "We'll take these to our spot" He said softly in her ear, handing over the currency to the merchant and leading her to another shop down the street. He bought three new daggers, a red gem at the end of each's handle. "For you" He said, handing one to her handle-first. "Protect yourself well"

"I'll teach you. Everyone in royalty should know how." He said softly and quietly so nobody would hear him. "Let's had to our spot, yeah?" He offered after stopping in one last store--the grocery store, essentially--and bought them both lemonade.
