"Then I shall endeavor to learn to the best of my ability, Majesty. Consider the basket a gift, and token of my appreciation for the aid rendered here today." A glimmer of mischief turned her mouth up impishly. "I'll be back, just you wait and see."
Upon reaching the palace, the young maiden even went so far as to hold the gate open for the monark, but when he entered she remained behind. This had been exhausting. A tour of the palace could absolutely be saved for another time. She waved, said her farewells, and then she was off, projected off with some speed by the mantle connecting her tentacles.
Back Home, to report her almost success... Hopefully it would be good enough to stop her parents nagging for a while.
