Harumi walked along the beach that was overlooked by her house, she gave a bored sigh looking out into the sea.
Things can get so boring around here...
She thought closing her eyes and sitting down on the sand.

Well, things were boring for only a moment or so. As it turned out at that very moment, Alexander had decided right now would be the moment to hit the beach himself. It was a little early for him as he usually would head out to the beach later in the day, but as it were he was to be present in a meeting later on with Holmes and other stuck-up people to discuss royal...whatever they were discussing today.
So now was playtime until he was 'grounded' for the day.
His pant legs were rolled up and he carried his shoes in his hand, his bare feet sliding through the hot, white sand. He, too, stared into the sea and carefully noted the scenery around him. White sand, fluffy and sparse clouds, hot chick by the shoreline, sparkling blue sea, gentle waves...
Whoa, waitaminute. One of these things was not like the other, and luckily Alexander didn't need to be a genius to figure out which one it was - almost in an instant he dropped the shoes from his hands and dug his hands into one of his pockets, spritzing just a wee dab of cologne on before bolting towards the young lady sitting out in the sand.
He stopped short only a few feet away - it really wouldn't do well to startle her, nor would it look very manly on his part. He adjusted his position so most of his weight was put on his right leg, folding his arms and giving his hair a quick whip back. If you were going to be cool, you definitely had to look it.
"Beautiful day out today, isn't it? Definitely beats the storms we had the past couple of days, huh?"
And of course out of everything he could have chosen to say while trying to be "cool", he had to choose to talk about the weather. Bravo, lamewad.

Harumi jumped slightly when she heard his voice, she wasn't expecting anyone to be here. She turned to him and studied him for a moment.
Do I know him? I feel like I've seen him somewhere before.
"It's very beautiful," she smiled looking back at the ocean, she then sat up looking at him, "My name is Harumi Ameterasu."

Score, he didn't even have to ask for her name. Alexander definitely liked where this was going so far.
Alexander tried to keep up the "cool man" look by slipping his hands down to his hips, swaying casually as he watched the waves a moment before looking down at Harumi.
"Beautiful name you have. Mine's Alexander Frexton," he chuckled a little as he said it, "I have to say, Miss Amaterasu, it's not nearly as lovely as yours. Speaking of lovely, what's a cute girl like you doing out here all by yourself? Waiting on your boyfriend probably..."
And he anxiously waited for her answer.

Wait a minute, now I remember, that man is the king of Santo-Luce!
She thought but her face stayed the same, that's till he called her lovely and she blushed a bit, just a bit.
"Uhh, boyfriend? No, I live not to far from here so I like to come out here in the evening."

And if Alexander had those cute, floppy puppy ears, they'd have perked straight up at the mention of "no boyfriend". Standing before the gates of Heaven, the young king was.
"Ahhh, so the beautiful young lady roams these romantic sands all alone? That's a real tragedy, it's not fair. See, now I come out here all the time myself just to take in all that is lovely...are you in a big hurry to get home tonight? Perhaps we could share this scene together at the moment? Chat for a bit, you know?"
Alexander didn't really wait for an invitation, he sat down right beside Harumi and made himself comfortable, setting his shoes by his feet and digging his toes into the sand.

Once he sat down she started to feel slightly embarrassed although did her best not to show it.
"My king, what are you doing all the way over here?" She asked keeping her eyes fixed on the sea.

Alexander shrugged. "Well, sometimes it's just good to ditch the castle scene. My captain doesn't like it, neither does any of my servants but sometimes you just gotta get some time to yourself, you know? They want me back for dinner sometime soon but I don't think I'm gonna go..."
He patted his hands on his legs and watched the waves for a moment. She gave him her name, no boyfriend even, but he was still missing something because her attention was still divided; he needed that eye contact.
And what better way to get it than to lean in and block Harumi's view of the sea. With a big smile on his face and the last specks of light coming from the sunset reflecting off his bright blue eyes, he said, "I don't feel like going back to the castle. How's about you and I ditch this joint and go have ourselves a nice dinner out on the town? And then we can go do the dancing thing and everything - don't worry about anything being expensive, I've got it all covered."

*Mark landed next to the two story house that over looked the sea, he folded his wings and looked around.*
It's been awhile... the great smell, the nice sun, the beach, some guy talking to my daughter... waitaminute!
*Mark looked over at the two with a glare of anger.*
Those two are to close! To close!
*Mark took a step forward when he recognized his face, Alexander Frexton, the snob that got his fathers throne and if he's a royal could he be a Sumata? If so Mark knew he couldn't pull him away or he might report back to Trucido... and that's a big no no.*
I'll just have to watch, but I swear if he gets closer... I may just let him have a taste of real fear.

She pulled back a bit when he suddenly blocked her view. She stood frozen as he asked his request.
Something to eat? Should I...?
She looked around and sighed, giving an answer.
"Sure... why not?" Would she regret what she had said? If he was a royal he was a Sumata and that for the most part meant danger.

Alexander truly looked like a small child on Christmas morning.
"Fantastic, my dear! I promise you, it'll be the best night you've ever had - if not, I'll...um...I'll..." he blanked for a moment, trying to think of what exactly he could offer her in case his date idea was nothing but pure failure, "um...I'll think of it if it happens!"
And with that, he flashed her a charming grin and held his arm out to her.
"Shall we, then? We'll be very classy, yes?"
And of course, he would be ever-unaware of the ferocious beast that followed them and watched their every move - the very thing that usually followed every young and stunningly beautiful woman.
The father.
Without waiting much for a response, Alexander took the lovely Harumi's hand and lead her towards the town that was alive with parties as the sun set.
He smiled at her as he asked, "So, what is it that you are feeling like eating, my dear? Anything you'd like, we'll get."

*Mark growled keeping closing behind them.*

"Anything?" She asked at his offer as they walked down the road. "I don't know, I don't really go out to much so I don't know what there is."
She said brushing some hair out of her eyes.
"What do you like?"

"You don't go out too much? Well, that only means that we have to go to the most expensive place there is!....Actually, to be honest, I'm not sure where that is," Alexander frowned as they hit the streets with the brightly lit lanterns on either side of them, "I uh...don't really get to go out of the castle so much. I'm not even supposed to be out right now, ha ha...so how about there?"
He pointed out a small place that looked rather polished. It was a pub, not quite a rowdy bar so it shouldn't scare the lady or place her in any kind of danger, and it had a real homey look to it.
Alexander smiled as he lead Harumi inside and looked around, saying, "I think this looks rather nice, actually. Hey!" Alexander quickly waved over a man and ordered them what Alexander called, "a couple of those cool lobster things that hide under that one dock on the east coast".
In the meantime, he pulled out a chair for Harumi and grinned charmingly at her. "Your seat, milady," he said with a small bow.

She smiled and sat down, "Thank you."
She said unsure how to address him, should it be your majesty or Alexander, or just Alex.
She shook the thought and tried to bring up a conversation, "So how have things been at the castle?"
...obviously nervous...
