Conceding

Samuel wasn't sure how long he and Lena laid there before the princess decided to speak again.

"Have you ever realized how frustrating your persistent stubbornness can be at time like this?" She asked although her voice didn't hold the annoyed tone he imagined it would've based upon the words that she used.

"I don't think any has told me that before." Samuel replied honestly as he shifted slightly so that his cheek was resting against her back rather than his forehead as he continue to speak.

"But then again I don't think that I've ever been this persistently stubborn for anyone before. With you though, it seemed like persistence is the best way to get any kind of reaction out of you." The last part was a joke to which the princess made some type of inaudible noise that he imagined was supposed to be a scoff.

"What exactly is that supposed to mean?" She asked, her voice more at her normal turn as she shifted away from him.
