[ rose finds herself casually draping an arm around alisha's small, delicate shoulders, just because, well... just because she can. ]
Maybe not, but you're the most hardworking, aren't you? I know you're too humble to admit it, so I will.
I wasn't sure what to think of you, at first. It didn't seem possible that a princess could be so genuine about throwing herself into working for the good of her country, even when it isn't always appreciated. You're different, you know that?
... And we don't have much in common, do we.
[ sorey told her otherwise, but rose is still skeptical about that. alisha doesn't know what those differences are-- besides the obvious personality traits. rose still doesn't know if she can tell her. not yet, anyway.
she just wants to enjoy this. enjoy getting to know alisha when she might never have had a reason to. and something about her makes rose want to stay by her side, and make sure that pure heart of hers doesn't get her into trouble. almost like sorey, in a way, but it's... not quite the same. ]
