[She cranes in a little closer, hands folding behind her back, a light teasing air exuding from her.]

Besides, and this is my secret opinion, but... I almost don't think you are even capable of dropping the formalities as you are now. I fear you might choke on my name without adding 'princess' to chase it down!

[She can picture it now, the face he would make. It's funny, but in a way, she wishes he wouldn't distance her with language when he didn't have to.]
