Shawn Robin | 20 | Stablehand | Tagging: Diana


For a moment, there was a path of guilt he had hardly acknowledged the princess beyond a brief glance, but she had seemed…otherwise occupied. What time did a princess have to stand and chat with a servant she barely knew? Shawn could relate better to the other servants, the people who weren’t as high class as the royals and nobles. And there had been Diana, standing there and watching in silence, either willingly having left herself out, or having been pushed to the outskirts of the conversation. She seemed happy enough to acknowledge him though, which brought a smile to the young man's face.

"Oh I’d hardly say that. Just did the work and chatted with a couple of the other stablehands. Arrived a bit late this morning, unfortunately. My body apparently doesn’t appreciate my recent late nights." Shawn figured he ought to fix that and take better care of himself, but…sometimes taking some time for himself once it was dark outside WAS self-care, he’d always told himself. Time away from the clamour and chaos, away from work— however much he loved it— and just to sit under the stars, or at a desk and write down the events of the day so that big or small, he would always be able to look back on all the good that had happened in his youth.

"Oh dear…sorry to hear that. Must be a hassle to deal with sometimes." Shawn shot her a sympathetic smile. He couldn’t do the work any of the maids did, he wouldn’t have had the interest, but he never minded hearing about it if it was something she wished to bring up. "Oh not really. I will admit, I’m not a morning person. Not huge on the whole getting out of bed thing, but horses gotta eat. Once I’m in there with hem, it’s really…peaceful, I guess would be a good word to describe it," he decided.
