She continued staring at him, not certain how to respond.

"M..my lady?" he asked softly. How he wished that would be true, the words he said to be polite. How he wished she would be his lady.

"I apologize for being unworthy. A thousand times over, I would apologize, if that is your desire," he said softly.

"But... I don't even know you... and you don't even know me... what if I'm not worthy of you?" A reasonable argument, she thought, even as the question brought a blush to her pale blue cheeks.

"That is part of paying court. Getting to know each other, learning if we truly can love each other, and live within that love. It is a time I can come to love you more deeply, and show you what there is of me to perhaps love as well. As to the thought of you not being worthy, that is impossible. I know already enough to know that. On the surface, your beauty not only surpasses my own, but, if I may be so vain, complements it as well. As to the inside, you, my fair Frost, you took in a perfect stranger. You worried and fretted over me, took care of me, and are still worried over me. All without asking for anything in return. Inside and out, you are truly far superior to one such as I."

She stared at him, stunned into silence by his speech. How did anyone even respond to such a statement?

He swallowed. Had he upset her some how? Had he said something odd? Did he have snow in his teeth? What? "Lady Frost...?" he asked, softly.

She blinked. "Ah...." yeah... .she still didn't know what to say, so she ducked her head and mumbled something nonsensical.

"La...Lady frost? I didn't quite catch that...." Had she answered and he had been too much a fool to hear it? To make sense of it? His heart ached that his failure might cause her to turn from him.

She mumbled again, ducking her head a bit lower.

There it was. He was ready to leave, just like everyone else. "If that's what you wish."

"Of... of course it's not what I wish!" he blurted out. "But I seem to do nothing but upset you. And I'd rather leave then make you unhappy. I only want you to smile and feel good and be loved, my lady. I wish it would be me who would be allowed to love you, to spend each day praising you, but if my presence causes you distress, I will do my best to leave, for your sake. If I had a choice, I would never be so far from you that I could not hear your voice, never so far that I could not gaze upon your beauty. Not for an instant."

"But that makes no sense!" she protested, forgetting to be shy, forgetting to be afraid. Nothing this stallion did made sense.
