Monroe's features softened the moment he saw the look on the boys face. How could he say no to that? "Alright, Camilla." He gave a smile at the boy, coming up to him. "If you don't mind, I'll just call you that in private." If the boy ordered him to, he would have to call him by his first name, regardless of what was proper, he always followed orders.
"We are friends, but I am still a mere guard, it would appear as if I thought myself something more, if i did so in public." Surely, the boy couldn't argue with that. The last thing he needed was being spoken down to by his superiors, whether it be an elder, or someone else in a higher position.
The way the boy looked now, he actually reminded him of someone, his kid brother. "You look very troubled my...Camilla." He meant to say 'My Prince', but stopped himself at last minute. "How about we do something fun together?" Perhaps he could mix up business and pleasure, but he wouldn't try anything with the boy here. How could he, he seemed far too innocent.

The moment Monroe said his name, Camilla broke into a wide smile. The expression lit up his face, causeing his eyes to sparkle and that hidden dimple in his left cheek to make itself known. "Alright, only in private then. Thank you." The teen replied, looking absolutely radiant with pleasure.
The prince didn't comment on looking troubled, but he did nod to Monroe's last statement. "Would you like to look at my picture book?" He asked excitedly. "Please, sit down and I'll show you." Camilla was already saying, ushering the soldier to the small table by the window.
Hurriedly, the teen padded off to get the book. He kept it hidden beneath his mattress, and got down on his hands and knees to pull it from his bed. Camilla gave a squeak of surprise as he pulled a little too hard and ended up tumbling to his backside cutely. Unfazed, he scrambled up, carrying the big book to Monroe and setting it on the table.
"See?" He asked proudly, pushing the photo album towards the male as he sat down.

Was it possible for the Prince to be even cuter then he already was, well that was what Monroe noted when the boy smiled. He was glad he could make him smile, he couldn't recall ever seeing him do so before.
"Sure," He moved to sit down, quite curious about this mentioned picture book. From where he seated himself, he watched the bot, tempted to chuckle when he had fallen on the floor, but also wanting to help him. It seemed he didn't need any assistance though, for he was soon coming up to him with a rather large book.
"What is this your showing me exactly?" Monroe looked down at the book displayed before him, he didn't imagine what the princess could have in this picture book. Was it pictures he had taken, or was it something else perhaps. Whatever it was, he imagined it had to be something really good.

Happily, Camilla scooted his chair so that he was sitting closely beside Munroe. "Big brother helped me start it...when he was still around." The teen's face darkened before brightening again with a smile. "He helped me take pictures and collect things." He explained, opening the book to the first page. It was a book full of a child's musing. There were photo's of Camilla's family and other important people on each page along with drawings and pieces of ribbon here and there along with other small, useless things. There was even crushed flowers between some of the pages.
"Mother gave me this." Camilla whispered, delicately pulling a dried, pink daisy from the pages, showing it to Monroe. "Doesn't it smell nice?"

The mention of the Prince's older brother nearly made him frown, instead he kept a faint smile on his features. He just focused on what the boy was telling him, looking at the pictures displayed, along with the little decorations on the side. Overall, he would say it was quite nice, and his mother even helped it with him. It was unfortunate what happened to his Mother, that was the reason the King was down, maybe even why the crown Prince left. He still pondered on his brother, but he could do nothing about that now.
"It smells lovely." He spoke with another smile, looking at the pink daisy the boy displayed for him. "When was the last time you got to add to this?" He was just curious to know, with all that was going on, he couldn't see him getting to do so anytime recently.

Camilla smiled softly, pleased by Monroe's response as he laid the flower back gently in its place. He seemed to think over what the man had said, twirling a lock of hair idly around his finger as he thought. "I haven't...made any new pages for a long while nice." He murmured, fingers smoothing over an already filled page. "I suppose I just haven't had the time and there's really not anything to fill the pages with anyhow." Camilla added sadly. "But it's okay, I like just looking besides."

Well, Camilla's response told Monroe, exactly what he would be doing. "I'm sorry to hear that," He understood why he lacked the time to. With all the commotion, how would anyone be able to focus on something one might consider a hobby. "Well, I have an idea then." He started, hoping to get the boys interest. "Perhaps we can make...memories, of our friendship." Then the Prince could place it on his picture book, sort of like final memories.
"Of course, you don't have to, Camilla, it was just an idea." He managed a faint smile as he mentioned that, wondering what the Prince would say. Would he approve, or would he turn it down. If he didn't like it, he would just have to think of something else for them to do.

The prince seemed to consider this before he broke into another beautiful smile. "Really Monroe?" Camilla gasped, eyes bright before he threw himself into the male's arms and kissed his cheek. "Oh, that would be so lovely. We'll have to start right away of course. Goodness, I wouldn't know where to start." He prattled.
Already Camilla was beginning to trust the soldier, slowly putting the male in his brother's place. It had been so long since anyone was with him that he ache for someone, anyone, to fill that hole.

Monroe just gave a nod at what Camilla asked. "Yes, I mean it Camilla." He couldn't help but smile at the boy again. "Just tell me when your ready to stat, perhaps we can just have one together now." Just like that, nothing special being done, just to show that they were together, they were friends, that was how he considered it at least. Perhaps the boy wanted to do something else though, maybe he wanted to dress up, or go somewhere in particular.
"What would you like to do first?" He might as well ask, just in case Camilla was thinking something different. Then he could go ahead and do whatever he had in mind.

"The garden." Camilla immediately suggested. "Let's go to the garden. I haven't been there in every so long and I would very much like to again." The teen hopped up, tugging Monroe up and too the door. "I love the garden." He explained. "All the flowers are in bloom right now, so it's all very beautiful. Do you like flowers Monroe?" The teen asked happily as he led the man down the hall and to the doors that led outside.

Monroe stood the moment Camilla took off with him. The garden sounded like a lovely place to go, the way the boy described it, it was perfect. "It sounds perfect, do you have the camera you are going to use?" He wasn't quite sure what kind of device the boy used, he assumed the Prince had used a camera, perhaps he was wrong.
"I do like flowers, love them really." It was one of the simple things he did love, in fact he was looking forward to going out into the garden.

Camilla laughed gaily, startling some of the servants in the hall. "Yes, I have it." He replied, patting his pocket. "I always carry it with me." The teen smiled, pushing past the doors, letting daylight wash over them. Camilla blinked into the sunlight, the smell was roses the first thing that hit his sense.
"Come one Munroe." He urged the male, pulling him into the lush beauty of the garden.

Well, that was a relief to hear, Monroe had thought they might have to go back. "Good," He simply commented, glad the teen did something like that, just in case. Soon, they would be out and snapping pictures, hopefully he had one that could give them a moment to get together. He wasn't so much for messing with those kinds of things, so he didn't know much about it, and didn't give it anymore thought then that.
It was wonderful... the moment they walked outside, he was hit by the fresh scent of flowers, roses if he wasn't mistaken. "Lead the way, Camilla." It was still a bit odd saying the teens name, but he found himself getting use to it. "Just let me know what you'd like to do." He meant how he wanted to take the picture.

"Take pictures of course!" The teen cried happily, bounding ahead of Monroe so he could turn around and take the male's picture. It all was very fast and there was only a flash then it was done. "First one! I got your eye patch too." Camilla giggled, skipping back up to the male. With a delicate hand, the prince reached up and touched the patch lightly. "I like the bunny on it. Did you draw it?" He asked curiously. "And what's underneath? Did you lose your eye in a valiant battle? Did you save anyone? I wonder what it's like to fight. Do you like to fight Munroe?" Camilla prattled quickly.
However, before waiting for an answer, Camilla was running off again excitedly to inspect a rose bush. He gracefully smelled a nearby rose, the very sight of the teen doing so being lovely.

Needless to say, Monroe did not see that first picture coming. The moment it was snapped, he actually had a rather clueless expression on. Then he was blinking, thanks to the flash. Then he found himself chuckling, "My you are an anxious one." He had no problem with how sudden the picture was taken, it was just rather amusing. Then he was taken by surprise, the fact that Camilla just touched his eye patch, without even being asked. He would have answered the boy, but he was off, he could only follow, and think to speak, whether he was listening to him or now.
"No, no, I have a little brother, he drew it for me." It was rather cute, he just couldn't say no to wearing it, it was like a good luck charm. "Perhaps you would like to meet him." He was around his age group, if not exactly, he wasn't sure how old the Prince was. "My eye patch, I can show you." It wasn't like he was missing an eye, just one he could scarcely see out of, if at all really. "My eye, I did lose it in a fight." He was quite lucky he had one still, if he hadn't gotten out of the bind he had been in, he would have surely had it gouged out, not a pretty sight. "I was fighting to protect someone, so I suppose I did." He smiled a bit at the memory.
"The flowers really are lovely," He realized he didn't answer the last question, but he wasn't even sure the boy was listening. Really, how could he go on talking anymore, with the vision of loveliness before him, if it was anyone else, this would have been the perfect time to flirt, to literally sweep the other person off their feet, to even capture their lips with his. Unfortunately, this was the Prince, royalty, one he had to be rid of at some point, he just hoped that didn't come too soon.
