Riding tall on his horse, Galan leads his men onto the castle grounds. He dismounts and as he walks Blizzard, his trusty mount towards the stables, he notices a beautiful maiden moving gracefully as she goes about her chores.
He can't help but stare at her as he passes. She's so beautiful!

Without thinking about it, Galan picked up a flower as he was near the maiden who was gathering flowers in her basket.
"This one's for you, milady." He says as he places it in her hair.
He hears some hoots from the men in the ranks and blushes.

Galan's breath is taken away as he looks into the woman's dark blue eyes and he feels like he's floating in the sky at dusk.
He bows to her, and says quietly so only she could hear, "Milady, I have to that my horse is taken care of and clean up, but I'd be honored if you could join me for dinner tonight."
Alexis had climbed down from her mount and came walking up. "I'll take care of your horse, sir."
Alexis was rather nervous being here. She planned to reveal her true identity today to the rest of the world, but wasn't sure just how to do so without making her mentor, Sir Galan look like a liar as well.

"But you havent learned my name yet"

 Alexis couldn't believe her ears. "You mean, you've never heard of Sir Galan the Red Knight?" o.O She catches Galan's glare at her and lowers her eyes in shame. "Sorry sir." Galan's expression softened, and he said gently. "Please take care of the horses, Alex."
As his squire does his bidding, Galan looks sheepishly at the maiden. "Forgive me for not introducing myself." He bows as he says, "I'm Galan Rhed, a knight in King Balian's service."
He comes up from the bow and looks at her earnestly. "And you are?"

"Talia," he says wistfully. "A beautiful name for a stunningly beautiful lady." He says as he takes her hand and bows again, leaning down to kiss the back of her hand.
Did I just do that in front of everyone? He hears clearing of throats and the sound of many boots scurrying to leave. Yes, I did.

I wish I could be your husband. Thought Galan.
"Then I shall meet thee then..." he just realized, she was a worker here and may need special permission to be here at a time she wasn't working... "Um... where do you wish to meet?
