Isobel couldn't help hold it in anymore. She wanted to go explore the city, she wanted to go see all the shops. Maybe she could even purchase herself something, a token reminder of her time here, or even better would be a dress or some jewel similar to those that the ladies at court often wore. She wanted to be just like them, despite the fact that she knew that eventually her family would be returning home. She didn't dislike home, but for Isobel being here was a bit of a dream come true. She liked the grand-ness of the events here, the possibilities. She loved just how "big" everything was. While she wouldn't mind having her prince charming back at home, she also wanted to explore the world, and to her, this place signified just that.

Considering going off on her own, many things held her back, the least of which was the possibility of someone who knew her recognizing her. She would take a house servant with her, of course, but it would be much better with company. Isobel had almost given up hope of finding anyone she could bug until a familiar face passed by.

"Ian! Cousin," she said, her voice giddy as she quickly got up off her seat and crossed the room towards him. She pulled him into a small hug before recomposing herself. "Have you had your breakfast of yet?" She wondered, trying for innocence in her tone, but more than likely failing given she was too excited.

Isobel hoped he would accept to go with her. Her brothers and sisters as well as parents had either fled or not woken yet. And then, even if she knew Ian was closer to her sister than of herself... well maybe she could put in this extra effort to spend time with him to change his mind on that.

He sighed and shook his head. Ian was so ready for breakfast. He just needed to wash up first. He loved going for a run right after waking up. It helped clear his head and he usually ran through the garden. It was rare that he would cross paths with anyone.

Once he was cleaned up he headed for the dinning room. He stepped into the room and found himself engulfed in a hug. He hugged his cousin not sure if he should be happy she was happy to see him. Something was up in his mind, and he would figured this one out if she didn't tell him.

"Um no not yet. Perhaps we could have some breakfast and see what we are doing today. Perhaps spend some time together," he said smiling. It was nice spending time with the family. He didn't always need to be out in the garden, but family he should be with more. He knew that and hoped to fix this. He had been hanging out with his cousins more.

"What are your plans for the day?" He asked hoping to sit down to some good food and talk more.

"Ahh," Isobel started, a bit disappointed. This would delay her plans, but it was no problem. She could work with that. He was still a very viable candidate for escorting her this morning. She had turned out of the hug to hook an arm into his. So far he hadn't shrugged her off, anyways.

"Let's get you something warm to eat then, shall we?" She didn't think he would argue, as she didn't know a man yet who didn't enjoy a good meal. Since she'd been likely in his path straight to the dining room, it was a short walk over from where they stood. "And I think that's a lovely idea, I was just thinking of that myself. No plans in particular..." she started, and it was honest. There wasn't a particular shop she wanted to see, she hadn't set her mind to it all, but she had a vague interest in mind.

Once they'd breached the dining room, Isobel let him arm go so he could find a plate or seat. She herself, poured a glass of orange juice, freshly squeezed, and then found a seat. Once he'd joined her, she didn't hesitate to jump right in where she'd left off.

"I only saw you briefly during the dance at the feast," she meant the one after the coronation. "Did you enjoy yourself? Dance with many ladies?" She wasn't blind, her cousin was easy on the eyes, but of course she would never act on that. She wanted her brothers and cousins all to find the most beautiful of wives. In a way, it meant she would find the most handsome of husbands. Not jealous, though she would not like to lose their attention altogether when that time came.

Ian wouldn't shrug off family. He knew sometimes he was needed for things. She didn't seem happy that he needed food before they left for whatever was on her mind. He wondered just how much he was going to regret coming for breakfast after this was all over.

"Yes, please," he said glad she was okay with food first. He heard what she said and wondered why she had no plans. Wasn't there something going on up there? He sighed as he sat down to a great breakfast. It would be great to have some food in his stomach. He wasn't hard to please either.

"I should have asked you to dance," he said sighing. He wished he had thought of it that night. He was not happy with that now. He only hoped she had a good night of that. He finished the food in his mouth after the first bite then said, "not really my thing dances. It was okay enough, but I didn't do any dancing. What about you? Any fellas I should worry about?"

Isobel looked him over for a moment. Yes, she would have appreciated the offer of a dance, but then she was far from letting that ruin her day or to lord it against him. She simply thought he'd been busy dancing with others, just as she had. "Why not?" She gasped at him, fixing him with her attention in hopes to get an answer. It was so against what Isobel herself was interested in that she couldn't understand why Ian would not like to dance.

She waved her hand at his question. "Nothing to take too seriously for now," she started with a small impish smile. Fact was, she had had a small handful of dance partners, the rest were family. She had not had the chance to chat with any of those lovely men since the night of the coronation, to see if they were interesting men as much as dancer partners.

"As it is, though, I plan to make even more of an impression next gathering. Or maybe at that tourney the men are participating in..." she looked to him, curiously, though she hadn't known her cousin to find interest in the categories presented before. "Do you suppose the King will participate?"

"I prefer to dig than dance. I wouldn't know what to say to a female at any rate," he said being honest. It was true Ian was not the one to just go up to a woman and ask to dance. He wanted to know a little more before he would break her toes. He sighed and shook his head not liking where this was going.

"Well please let me know if there is someone serious. I like protecting my family," he said knowing that he would come to her rescue if she needed it from him. He had been looking around and watching that night. Granted he had been watching many things. He knew she had danced some, but hadn't always kept an eye on her.

"What kind of impression are you looking to make? The king? No, I don't think he will be doing much other than resting. He might not even be in attendance. Why do you ask?" He said wondering what her interest was there. Was she trying to become a Deveraux?

"Ahh," she said, making a sympathetic sound as her cousin admitted he lacked the words to tell a woman. Well, she wasn't a charmer of women herself, but she could tell him what she would like to hear. "Well, you would tell her she looks lovely, and ask her if she would like to dance," she started. "You needn't talk too much at that point, maybe compliment her, ask about where she's from..." her thoughts wandered. She was wishing for a kind Lord to ask her those same questions.

Isobel laughed then as he spoke of protecting her from any serious male interests. She thought, of course, he was kidding, as she would like nothing more than to be swept off her feet. She also didn't think there was any threat to it.

Isobel wasn't quite the type of woman to pout, although emotionally it was how it felt when she was disappointedly explained the King would not in fact be jousting, or playing the Knight. "Ah. No particular reason," she spoke with a wave of a hand. "It would have been nice to see, that is all," she said. Then, because she couldn't help it... "The Princesses will be there, though, right?" She hadn't even considered they might not.

While they chattered, her eyes glanced to his food, to make certain he was keeping up a decent pace. She wanted them to go out before it was overwhelmingly sunny, or too crowded of streets. "Don't suppose you know where my brothers escaped to, today?" It was an idle curiosity, but perhaps Ian would know.

He heard her words and knew she was just trying to help. He knew there was no good words to say then though. He had just taken another bite while she was talking. He chewed and enjoyed it letting her take the conversation. He wouldn't want to be at the table all day long.

"Talking is okay enough I suppose I could do that much. I just fear for her toes once we get out there," he said knowing he had two left feet when it came to dancing. It wasn't something he practiced nor was he about to start unless someone pushed him. No sense learning something like that now in his mind.

"I can't imagine they would miss this. I hear it is so they can have champions. If it were me I would want to be present so I would learn who my champion is," he said not sure what she was getting at. He wondered at Bel, but he didn't ask her more on that. He only had a couple more bites.

"Sorry no, you are the first I have seen of our family today," he said being truthful. With that he finished off his breakfast. He wouldn't leave just yet though. He did know some manners.

"Such a good meal. Compliments to the cook," he said as they cleared his plate away. He then turned his attention back to the lady he was eating with. He sighed,"you sure looked anxious for me to finish eating. Are you sure you don't have any plans today?"

Isobel hmm'ed to herself for a moment, considering. Then any idea came to mind, one which she thought would do quite well. It would make for more time between her dear cousin and herself, if he accepted. "You could practice with me if you'd like? I quite like dancing," she offered, with a smile. Little did she know his thoughts on the matter.

She seemed appeased by the confirmation he gave about the Princesses in attendance. Isobel would have to attend too. She would like it even more if her favor was given, but then again she thought it best to be approached by such a thing. Maybe she could prod Tamhas into asking one of his friends if they would participate, and put in a word for her. Isobel silently laughed with herself. Then, she shook her head and looked back towards the eating male.

"What if a Lady were to win an event? I mean, a Lady Knight..." her brows furrowed a bit, and she wrinkled her nose, seemingly confused at how to properly speak what she meant. She also found the implication interesting. She knew of women who had gone into Knighthood, but as Isobel was a personal believer that a woman's talents were in maintaining her household, and being with her family, she was absolutely confused by them. In fact, she doubted she'd trust their skill if it ever came down to it.

Isobel glanced over her shoulder towards the servants come to clean up after them, then put on a face of innocence for Ian who seemed rather suspicious of her. Or was it that he was tired of being in her company so soon? Was she that boring? She resented that implication, and became rather more convinced now to ask him to the task. "I didn't, but I would like to change that. I have an eye on the markets, and would like a chance to go shopping. Would you mind dearly to accompany your cousin? We never spend enough time together."

"While not a bad idea, I would think you'd still want to be walking," he said knowing he crushed the toes of any female who managed to land in his arms on the dance floor. It was why he had stopped asking. Most of them started saying no to him, and a fella can only take so many rejections.

"Then a Lady will be champion. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few of them who were going to be competing," he said knowing that was a possibility. He just hoped none of them got hurt in this. Tourneys were nothing to sneer about. He wasn't planning on entering no reason to.

"No, we don't spend enough time together. Are you looking for something in particular or is this just a day at the market?" He asked knowing now why his cousins had disappeared on Bel. They knew she would subject him to this kind of thing and scrammed. Smart men in his mind. He only wished he had been warned.

Isobel gave a light chuckle but shook her head. There seemed no point in arguing this with Ian, he seemed determined that he was beyond hope at dancing. She was still convinced he could learn, but if he was stubbornly avoiding it she wasn’t going to push him. She was of course unaware of any rejection he’d of had, or she would have insisted he learn to change that fate.

“But, they know they would be competing against the men, right? I heard the weapons were to be blunted, at least…” She seemed a bit scandalized. No, she didn’t think women were useless, and in fact she knew even among their own area that some women had taken up skills in arms. However, she didn’t imagine in her wildest dream that a woman could honestly rival a man. Who would want to embarrass themselves in front of a royal audience? She just didn’t understand.

“An afternoon would be nice,” she beamed, ignoring any possible negativity that this line of thinking instilled in her cousin. “I want to see the shops, the same ones that the Princesses go to for their dresses, the jewellers, the artists. I don’t know what I want to buy exactly, but perusing would be mighty enjoyable.”

Isobel stood from the table then. Judging he was done with his food, she waved for a servant to come clean away his things. “Do you need a moment to be ready?” Obviously, the young red-head was expecting a “yes” if ever there was an actual question of his coming.

"I'm sure they have taken that into account. Maybe the ladies won't be allowed to fight the men. I don't know the details. I'm not much of a fighter myself unless I need to," he said knowing his thoughts on tourneys. He wouldn't share though unless someone asked him to.

"I'm sure we could find something that you might like in one of those shops. Yes, an afternoon we shall have together," he said knowing what he might be in for. He was sure he would be teased on this later, but he didn't care. He was used to his family teasing him about something or other by now. One more thing wouldn't harm him.

"I am ready now, milady. Do you need a moment to freshen up or anything?" He asked knowing that ladies liked looking their best at all times. It was something he had picked up on. Today he would be errand boy if needed along with companion and guard to Bel. He could live with that.

She nodded along as Ian gave a plausible explanation. Surely the King and Crowned Princess did not want to risk a noble Lady’s grave injury during one of their tournaments? It just seemed wrong to encourage their participation, knowing they would be set against a man, whom Isobel did not expect to be possibly bested. She knew her cousin not to be much of a fighter, she herself only knew so much as was expected of her. “Will you at least attend?” She asked. She would be there, absolutely, as she couldn’t imagine missing watching all the men participate.

“Perfect!” She said, excitedly and purring out the word in happiness. Her hands were clapped together as she did, and gave her cousin a very rewarding smile. “Perhaps we can find you something too, hmm.” She thought at that, as the thought first crossed her mind. “Perhaps a new courtly outfit,” she grinned just a bit as she looked him up and down to examine his current wear and his size, then seemed to agree internally to her plan.

“All done already, my Lord cousin,” she said, as she then approached a house servant. She requested for a small purse to be brought to her, and a hat, the white and orange one, which complimented her dress. It was a quick moment for them both to gather whatever they wished or ready themselves in some way, before the coins were brought to her. She promptly handed them to Ian, who would be more likely than her in the manner of pockets. “If you would be so kind,” she said with a smile, then started to hurry off towards the entrance.

She was quick to lead them out of the home without much more interruption, and then looked both left and right to try and decide her way. She opted to go towards the right. She thought it was the way to the markets but to date had only gone twice, and not by her own.

"If you would like me to I would, otherwise I have no business being there. I'm not a fan of tournaments," he said knowing how horrible it was to even think of watching such a display. He shuddered. He would be there though if she wanted him by her side. That's what family was for.

He heard what she said a little shocked. She was happy, and he was glad of that. He wasn't sure about shopping for him though. He didn't need anything, and getting an outfit for court would be a waste of money. He would rather be out in the gardens. He understood her wanting him to feel like he was part of the shopping trip though. He wouldn't spoil her fun.

He listened as she asked for her things from a servant. He had what he needed on him. He didn't carry a coin purse that could be visible. Why invite trouble? He was glad when they were both ready to go. He joined her as she hurried to exit the house. He followed keeping up with her. While she decided the way Ian held out his arm to her. He was going to be a gentleman in this.

Isobel considered. "Oh, Ian... does nothing at the capital here please you?" She wondered to him, in a concerned voice. He'd not enjoyed the idea of the dance at the coronation, she was fairly certain he'd rather not be shopping though pleased he at least accepted politely, and he did not care for the tournament. She knew him enough to know he wasn't interested in being a knight and the like, but it didn't mean the whole duration of their trip had to be misery. She just couldn't believe it was that bad.

And off they went. Isobel had her arm snaked around the one he'd offered with a broad smile of thanks. As they walked, she pointed out which shops she'd seen so far, or who she'd seen nearby them. She couldn't quite remember the way but tried to lead them by way of whether she could recognize her surroundings. "There is a merchant around here somewhere, he specializes in foot wear," Isobel mentioned, while idly looking down to see what he was wearing, and whether he needed a new pair of it.

"He had all sorts of styles. Even work boots, you see. Truly a diverse craftsman. If I could only- aha!" She found the store she meant, then with a gentle pull led them across the semi-busy street towards the shop. Within was another two clients, neither seemed of quite fine of dress or grooming, so Isobel assumed them as locals. The merchant dropped all conversations and immediately came to them. He seemed to recognize her and bowed, proffering a quick greeting to them both, inviting them to come in further.

Isobel exchanged a glance to Ian before following, never letting her cousin go, lest he take his chance to escape. They were offered refreshments, as the man also showed them to a place to sit, around which were a few mirrors.

"Yes, I would love a small cup of tea please, sweetened," she said as it was offered, then allowed Ian to make the same request if he chose.
