Emmalina shrugs. "I suppose it's worth a try?" she says tentatively. Unspoken is the thought that, in the worst case, she can always just... come back. Unless Morath picks up a new princess with miraculous speed, she knows enough about dragons to guess he'd welcome the bragging rights about 'reclaiming his lost princess'. And this is her first knight to show any interest in something other than taking her right back to Griffinmarsh to claim half her kingdom from her parents. "If you want, I mean- I'd feel bad, delaying your trip to the caves."
Inside the cave, Morath cracks an eye open. Emmalina's been a good sort as princesses go. And this knight seems like a reasonable fellow, for a knight. Not like those others. Greedy, that's what they were, the lot of them. Just in it for the gold or the kingdoms or what have you. This fellow's a real knight, just like the good old days. Morath indulges in a fit of nostalgia for a moment, then sighs when he hears them still talking. Was this not enough of an excuse? Is he going to have to go out and nudge them? He hopes not. He'd really rather not move.
