The guardswoman giggled at the joke ‘queen mom.’ She was left sort of holding the door open but Anita had a cigarette in hand. So Charlie just let the door slip from her fingertips and it quietly settled back into place. They could wait until the smoke break was over to enter the residence. She was pretty sure it was non-smoking? Or well, couldn’t the princess do whatever she wanted? She seemed content enough to hang out for a few moments. That was good enough for the guard.
“There are always rumors about the royal family.” Charlie said unthinkingly. “I mean.” She was completely disarmed. “It’s not like bad stuff - it’s just - with your father being - back? And the family moving here, there’s a lot of buzz about what’s going on with all of you.” Briefly she cocked her head at the princess wondering what she had meant by her earlier commentary about her father and not seeing action with him around. She knew he was an ex-CAF officer of some kind but he was rarely spoken about or seen around except with the family. Things around him and their return, or, relocation to the isles was all hushed. Charlie, admittedly, wasn't entirely informed about all things concerning the royal family. She made a mental note to do her own research.
Her eyes tracked the movement of cigarette as it was brought by a slender hand to full lips. Charlie almost regretted that the princess insisted on covering her eyes with those sunglasses. She would like to get another good look at the colors.
Charlie linked her hands together politely in front of her, straightened her back, and squared her shoulders thinking herself looking quite the appropriate guard. Much better than her previous lapse into unprofessional conversation. Talking about rumors with the princess! What was she thinking? She was rattled.
“At any rate, we are glad you are home, Your - ah - I mean Anita.” She smiled warmly as her tail swayed languidly behind.
