Leland and Sophie made their way out of the sea of the people and eventually ended up in a more isolated area outside of the town. If there was anything that Sophie learned was that she didn't exactly need to be with a lot of people.
She was actually being more sympathetic to the duke's earlier comment that he didn't like crowds. So, after the man purchased a basket of different food and even a blanket upon her request, they ended up sitting behind a tree away from the rest.
"I expected that the two of us were going to sightsee, but this is also lovely," Leland commented as he eyed his mate do something unexpected for him.
He was aware that compared to him, Sophie could have spent all day in the festival without running out of energy. She seemed to enjoy going out and be among the crowd, whereas he disliked them.
They just need to hold hands while sitting together at this picnic. No words needed.
