It doesn't escape Davin's attention that James answers only the first part of the question and not the second, and it leaves him frowning a bit. It's an expression that quickly melts away when James cups his cheek and ensures his safety, and Davin finds himself nodding with pink cheeks and bright eyes.
"Okay," Davin says quietly, walking alongside him again. After a moment he tentatively reaches over and takes James' hand again. It's such a new, novel thing and Davin enjoys the contact. "We're closer than I thought. I must have really wandered off the path this time."
They make quick work of getting to the village, and Davin leads James around to the edge of town, explaining that it would be best to avoid a commotion. His excitement and nerves alike both grow as they approach the lavish palace, and Davin pulls his hand away from James' as they approach the gates. He gets more nervous with every step, and he hangs back a respectful distance as they step up to it.
"Prince James!" The guard opens the gate and rushes towards them, ignoring Davin completely. "We've been looking everywhere for you. Come, let's get you inside."
