Autumn Romance

"Coffee, please. Peach pie, please. I loose weight too quickly." Stephanwolfe spoke with a grin.

"Duly noted. I'll bring your drinks soon." Cass spoke and left.

"Perhaps I should reserve some time for you in my class. Probably not in the class room but maybe here in the dining room or in a lounge. I'll find somewhere for you to practice." Stephanwolfe spoke softly.

"I'll be with you to guide you in your ability. I can handle fire well enough. Watch....." Stephanwolfe pushed his chair back and stood up.

"Quite simple.... I have practiced many hours over the years. It's like second nature to me. That's what you would need to do to get good at anything. Don't you agreed?" Stephanwolfe asked as he pinched each ball to make it explode into tiny harmless sparkles.

"The best there is..." he chuckled as he sat back down.
"But we need to eat before our food is cold."

In the Parlour.....

James walked in and cleared his throat.
"Dinner is ready to serve." he announced.

King Albert nodded

"Shall we go? My dear Lady Avalon...." he held out his arm to her after he stood up.

Lady Allanna smiled as she rose up and took Kadern's arm.
"Yes, my handsome Prince." she spoke softly.

Wolfegang grumbled as he got up to follow the others to the dining room.

King Albert held the chair for Lady Avalon while Lady Allanna waited for Prince Kadern to pull out hers.

On the other hand Stephanwolfe sat himself down at his place not paying any attention to anyone else.

James waited with a cart full of plates with metal domes.

"Certianly, son. In my office, I assume?" Albert spoke with a smile.

James a bowl of soup at each spot, starting with the King and ending with Stephanwolfe who huffed into his mustache.
James then carried the soup away back to the kitchen much to Stephanwolfe's dismay.

"Shall we retire to the parlor or elsewhere?" King Albert spoke as he stood up. He walked over Lady Avalon's chair and smiled.

"Ready my dear?" he asked quietly.

"Let's go to my office then." Albert spoke to Kadern.
"Please excuse us." he smiled at Avalon and kissed her hand.

"I'll be fine, Prince Kadern. Go with your father." Allanna spoke with a smile.

Stephanwolfe slid past them and up to his room.

King Albert wondered what it was that Kadern could want to talk about but it must be important to him.

"Please come in and closed the door. " he spoke and turned to Kadern.
"Feel free to sit down. Then we can talk a bit."

"I see. Well, I suggest that you start courting her. That is what courtship is all about. Finding out what the other person is like.
I think that the first thing on the list to do is to spend time with her. See what she enjoys doing. If she has a hobby, take enough interest to understand that hobby. Always give positive comments back about that hobby.

If she has a sweet tooth, occasionally indulge her in it particularly if it is a holday or birthday.

If she likes a certian type of flower, buy her some from time to time.

If she collects something, take her out and let her pick something out for her collection or if you know enough about her collection, buy her a surprise.

Think up little everyday things that might make her smile. A little note, a flower, a piece of chocolate, or something that is meaningful to her.

Maybe an outing for just the two of you.

It doesn't have to cost much if anything at all.

Of course you could ask her maid what she is up to which might give you a clue but don't ask the maid what to buy her or get her or anything like that." King spoke thoughtfully.

"Why not ask the gardener? He has many spring bulbs and a new box of plants. Want me to send for him?" King Albert asked.

"If that's what you want. He did say something about making a thing that would hold a small creature. It sounded quite interesting.

Bess might have something to make flowers out of fabrics.
Smitty has some colored glass bits and metal......

What do you have in mind?" King Albert spoke

"Also, you can think and dream on what you want to do. I wish you success in your love life. I already think of her as a valuable person." King smiled as he leaned forward to pat Kadern's shoulder.

"I love you too Son. You have grown into a fine young man." King Albert spoke.

"I believe that you are right. Everyone deserves someone to love and we have found good ladies. " He spoke.

"Thank you son. That means a lot to me. " Albert spoke softly.
"You have one of my best workers and an herbalest to boot. Now run along to bed before I carry you to bed."

"Let me 'port you. It will be easier on both of us." Albert stood up and held onto Kadern's upper arm to port them to his room.

"Now wasn't that easy? I am sure that you can do teleporting and a few other things like levatation or making fire balls." King said.

"Is that your mother's old cat? That is incredulous! It looks brand new even. Lady Allanna is good with her needle for sure......" King Albert looked at the cat.
"Take good care of her. Actually both hers."
