Roxanna looked at him widely acting as though she knew who she was, "No sir, I know who I am, I asked where am I," Roxanna hoped her acting was quiet good, although she'd like to know how this stranger knew she had no idea who she was. "Could one of you tell me where am I?" Roxanna said cooly.

Edrin blinked, the young lady acted totally confused. He got off his horse, even though the young lady was wet she appeared rich like him. But if that's true why is she here? All wet, alone?
"Are you with her?" he asked the other man, even though it was a silly question, he was sure she just asked him where she was!.
He turned back to the lady. "You're in France Miss, what kind of problem to you have?" he hoped that didn't sound too blunt. But it wasn't every day beautiful woman went walking in dripping wet clothes along the shore!

Roxanna answered before the other man could, "No, he was asking if he could help me," Roxanna was sure she wasn't suppose to be here. When the handsome young man told her she was in France some memories came flooding in. France, war, her name, her identity, everything came flooding back to her. "Um, you see, well, I was on a ship over here and it was attacked and now I'm here, dripping wet," Roxanna explained. Roxanna debated inside herself to tell him she was Princess of England, she decided not to. They might hand her in for black mail, if they'd ask her her name then she'll just say Roxanna Elting, hopefully the last name won't sound familiar.

An awkward silence stretched out between them before Edrin finally said. "My name's Edrin, what's yours?" He thought about telling her he was also the Prince of France but decided against it. If she's as rich as she looks wouldn't people come looking for her?He wondered. He felt rather silly but he simply wasn't sure what else to say.

Roxanna felt quite awkward, especailly in a soaking wet dress, "My name is Roxanna, pleasure to meet you Edrin," Roxanna felt really stressed, she lost all here belongs and money she was bringing with her, she was soaking wet, and by now she could imagen her father must be going mad not knowing where she is. So the summary is she's soaking wet, she lost everything she brought to the sea, and her father must be furious, and she knew no one in France, things were going worse than what Roxanna planned, what else is next? Someone reconizing her and holding her hostage?

"Well Roxanna," Edrin started awkwardly. Roxanna? He could have sworn he'd heard that name before, question was where? "It's not really safe to be wandering around on this beach alone, especially by the docks." He motioned behind himself. "We get all sorts of people around here coming in." he looked around is if that would salve everything. Obviously she'd lost everything when her ship had been attacked. But he didn't think inviting her to his house would be a good idea. She wasn't one of them (that was clear) and his father would have a fit to say the least. But what COULD he do then?

Roxanna really had no idea what to do, she had an urge to ask when was the next boat out to England, but why would any boats from the enemy head to their country? She couldn't go to Spain either, her "future husband's" family was there and they would recognize her, why did she have to run away! Just because a war and a stupid arrange marriage. Roxanna had no choice, she had to ask for the next boat to Spain. "Edrin, do you know when the next boat to Spain is leaving?" After saying that she realized that Spain was an allie to England which made them enemies to France. What if Edrin remembers her and realizes she's was Princess of England because her marriage was announced all over Europe. All she could do was hope, but she knew it was hopeless.

"Spain?" Edrin repeated in shock. Why on earth?
Suddenly he realized who he was talking to. Roxanna Elting, the Princess of England! The enemy's daughter was here? But why?And what was he going to do now? He wasn't really for this whole war, but still. "Well..I.." he started but before he could finish a sound caught his attention. Someone was watching them!

Roxanna knew she blew it when he looked shocked, the only words running through her head were, "I've got to get out of here... like NOW!" Roxanna took her chance while Edrin was distracted. Roxanna took a few steps back, she turned and began to walk and broke into a run. It was a bit easier to run seeing us her dress was almost completely dry, but wearing the heals didn't help, she could only hope she could get far ahead. A head she saw what looked like a small forest, but is still looked quite a distance away, she really needed to reach it before Edrin had realized she attempted to escape.
