Eliza admired them for a while before she gathered up the drawings in the immediate area and piled them neatly on the table. She scouted out the other pieces of parchment lying around the room and placed them next to the first stack. The falconer looked around the room for a minute, thinking. Well, if I'm supposed to be his personal servant, I might as well play the part. This place is a mess. Eliza had never been a neat-freak. In fact, falcon feathers and dog hair dusted nearly everything in her home, but nonetheless, she gathered the books that were strewn about and placed them on the shelves. Lastly, she found and filled an inkwell and placed a quill inside, setting up a space on his table (which she'd moved closer to the window) with fresh parchment.

The rest of the room was rather neat already. The bed was rumpled and messy, but other than that, everything was well-dusted and in place. Some clothes were laid out for a masquerade that was being held that night.

Eliza chose one of the books from the shelves and sat down in the large armchair, reading a bit as she waited for Alain to return.

After about an hour, Alain walked inside the room again with a sigh. "I'm sorry I kept you waiting so long."

"No, that's alright, your Highness," she responded, setting the book down and standing. "How was the service?"

"It was rather uncomfortable to attempt to listen to it while the nobles were chatting." he sighed, sitting down on his bed. "But I think that it was mostly fine."

Eliza nodded, falling silent for a minute. "Oh! Prince Alain, I, uh, organized your table and your drawings for you," she told him, gesturing towards the place where she'd laid out the ink and parchment.

He blinked in surprise. "You really didn't need to do that, but thank you."

"It wasn't really any trouble. I had a couple hours to spare. And after all, I'm your personal servant, aren't I?"

"You won't have to be by the time we get you out of here. Of course, people will ask why you suddenly disappeared... oh, I'll make something up about you being kidnapped or killed by a guard."

Eliza nodded. "I suppose you'll need me to leave now, then."

"We still haven't visited the library!" He walked down the hall towards the staircase. "It's huge. You'll love it."

"I'd forgotten about the library..." Eliza hurried to catch up to the Prince, following closely behind him.

Eliza took this time to fully realize just how big the castle was. If she didn't have Alain to guide her, she would've surely gotten lost.

"Here we are!" he walked through a [air of huge doors, into a giant library. Staircases sloped upwards, wreathing around bookshelves stuffed with texts.

"It's incredible..." Eliza breathed. "Prince Alain, this is amazing!" She couldn't help but grin as she perused the seemingly endless bookcases.

"You're allowing me to take one?" Eliza turned and searched through the titles, finally settling on a thick text on falcons and other birds. "I'd like this one, if you don't mind..."

He smiled. "It does seem like your type of book. Consider it a gift from me."
