Riku KNEW that Frank was standing RIGHT there watching, but he couldn't help himself. He stepped up behind the Prince and wrapped his arms around him, holding him close. "Nor I, but I am not concerned to be spending it here," Riku whispered to the Prince.
"We shall see more springs that this beautiful country offers. Even behind rock and water, I will spend this spring in love, and that is certainly no small thing."
He stepped back at Frank's insistence, but gave the Prince a gentle smile.
