Once the two had reached the garden- the female wasted no time in removing her shoes and plopping down onto the grass- not paying heed to the nearby benches. She had to admit, it was nice to be outside again- so long as the sun stayed up and the sky stayed bright. The one storm they'd had since that day, she had spent it curled up inside her room, refusing to move from the bed and its blankets. Instead, she had stayed wide awake until it subsided, hiding beneath the covers of the bed much like a small child.
Soon enough the other lady from earlier had found her way to them, a tray of delicacies in one hand and another staff member carrying their tea. The lads had also arrived, art supplies in hand, setting up what needed to be set up before leaving. The lady who had brought them their sandwiches and what not remained, however, in case anything else was needed- allowing Estella to just focus on keeping the heir company. Of course, Akira wasted no time in retrieving one of the sandwiches- she had been rather munchy the whole time, so she was quite excited to see the array of options. And so she stayed for a bit, munching on food and sipping on the tea. "Now, please pardon if these questions are a bit personal- and in no way are you required to answer...but there are some things I'd like to know, if possible...to help me, understand, I guess..." For whatever reason, unbeknownst even to her, the female was going to make an attempt to open up a bit to her lady-in-waiting during her search for answers, and try to understand everything around her a bit better- but was interrupted. Well, not directly or intentionally interrupted. Perhaps 'distracted' was a better word for it. There, in a nearby portion of the garden- visible from where they were, but not close enough to hear their conversation- was a trio. Two light-brown -haired individuals, clearly siblings, who were seemingly escorting a male who appeared to be near Lucas's age, despite his long, silver hair. She didn't recall ever seeing them around before. If it hadn't been for their attire, she would have assumed they were just staff she hadn't seen much of. But no, their attire spoke of high-standing nobility- and that put her on edge. Especially when the trio spotted and began walking towards them...
" Oh, hello there!" The brown-haired male had spoken in a cheerful, friendly voice once he was close enough. No fangs or crimson eyes that she could see- not that it meant anything anymore. Pardon us, we didn't mean to intrude on your grounds. See, we are a bit lost- we're not from around here- but we saw this lovely garden and couldn't help but wonder about it for a time. I assure you we meant no harm"

Adrian hadn't planned on interacting with the human girl and her lady-in-waiting. All he had wanted was to look around the garden- it was much more expansive and elaborate than he remembered. Besides, why not work his way down through the city, starting with the estate's garden? But Orion had disobeyed his requests, instead choosing to interact. He would be having a talk about that later. It was a miracle he had remembered to hide his hand behinds his back as it was- the male remembered that girl. Yes, indeed- it was the sister of the fallen queen- and he was unsure if she was aware of the estate, and its town's, vampire residents. Though, oddly enough, he hadn't noticed any other vampires so far, which was rather odd. Nevertheless, that wasn't important right now- the male had his nails trimmed, yes, but only to sn extent- they still had a bit of s sharp appearance. Not overly long, but still a bit claw-like: and if the princess were to see them, she might put two-and-two together.
