I... don't really know either. All I know is that I asked because you're Rayfa, and not because you're the Queen.
[ hopefully that makes sense. he doesn't... really know if there's a thing he's supposed to do, because it's not like he's asking to marry her; it's literally a date which they've already done except they didn't call it that so it doesn't count.
but what else was he supposed to do? it's not like he could ... ask anyone. the closest reasonable option was asking nahyuta, and being all 'SOOOOOOOOOO I WANNA DATE YOUR SISTER' is not really a good way to open up conversation, nor is it something that's easily worked in. ]
[ they've spent time as rion and rayfa. he shows respect to her by occasionally calling her "your benevolence", but that's pretty much it. they're good friends, and they get along well. she's never seen him actually want any position in power. at least, that's how she's understanding what rion's saying, anyway.
should she be saying something more??? she still has no idea.
[ it is really awkward, and there's a silence for a few seconds before he responds. his hands are curled up in his sweatshirt, trying to find something to do with them and thankful that she can't see him. ]
... I thought it was important. I know you know that. But I don't know if your brother or your father do... and I guess they'll need to know.
... I'm sure there are other people who were interested in you because you're the Queen.
[ that's what he's trying to say!! and he wants to talk a lot about how she makes him feel but doesn't want to make anything harder for her if she has to say no!!! or wants to say no but doesn't want to say so yet!! ]
[ she really doesn't! things regarding courtship and whatnot were often directed to the queen then, and ga'ran likely just told them off. rayfa doesn't need any distractions, not to mention, she's only fourteen (at home, anyway). ]

Do you not wish for them to know? Surely, if you are of pure intention, then there is nothing wrong.
[ SHE'S TAKING THIS TOO SERIOUSLY... ]

[ rion: unintentionally implying that everyone ever wants to date rayfa, like she is a hot commodity. ... okay, she is to HIM, okay!!! >:( ]

What have they heard before?
[ she clears her throat. ]
Whatever it is, I am certain they have not. Braid Head has only become the Prince of Khura'in very recently. And--
[ ... the thing with dhurke is too much to tell. she leaves that last statement hanging. ]
