You notice that the princess’s hair is wrapped up inside of a towel and it finally dawns on you that you've come during their baths. Fond memories of Madame Ith's bathhouse begin to fill your head, but you remember where you're standing and quickly purge them from your mind.
"Well, are you going to thank him, I presume that is why you brought him here." The eldest princess's voice brings you back to the present.
" I didn't bring him here. He was at the flap to the tent." The middle princess says becoming defensive. "Why did you come here?" She demands.
" I came here to make sure that you had suffered no harm. After we were separated, I wasn't sure you'd escaped. It gladdens me to see that you escaped unharmed your grace." You say with a slight referential bow.
The middle princess blushes at your statement, and the eldest princess cracks smile. "How knightly of you sir...?"
"Matthias your ladyship and I am no sir, I'm just a common solider."
The princess nods then says, "Well Cisen, thank the man. You said you wished you could have thanked your rescuers, well now's your chance."
"Thank you," Cisen says demurely her face growing redder.
" Frankly though, I'm surprised you're here. The way Cisen told it, you were in pretty bad shape when she left you. How did you survive?"
> " I got lucky the wood missed anything vital and I was able to pull myself free of the debris, although my luck ran short after that... " You retell the tale of your escape to the princesses from your escape from the castle to your flight to the siege camp> " I was in pretty bad shape, but it was my duty to ensure the princess's safety, the Crown Prince had told me to ensure your safety." You keep your tale short not wishing to bore the princesses with all of the gritty details> " I prayed to the goddesses and I think they answered and kept me safe." You tell the Princesses the truth of that day and how through the blessing of the goddesses as well as the mercy of your captors, you lived to tell them this tale.>[Write in]
