Busybody

For the umpteenth time that morning, Alvin found himself standing in front of Susan, who was raising an eyebrow at him. She stood inside her chamber, holding the door while he stood outside.

"You know people will talk if they see the two of us several times in a day?" she pointed out to him, while he looked at her like she had lost it. 

"You have been the one following me around," he reminded her before going straight to the point. 

"Prince Harold wants you to help Princess Amber get dressed. They are leaving the palace." 

Susan was about to retort to what he had said about her following him around, but the other statement he made piqued her interest.

"Leaving the palace? Why? Where are they heading to? Is she awake?" 

She asked at once before stepping out of her chamber and closing the door behind her.
