Hal and Marla sighed simultaneously while Lena turned to Tanya,
"He took advantage of me and I want him to apologize" she implored.
Tanya who had 'seen' all that had happened took a deep breath,
"Stop being a drama queen Lena. It was only one little peck"
"Exactly" Marla piped and Tanya's eyes darted to her before she looked at Hal,
"And who is this?" She asked.
Lena nodded vigorously,
"Yes, I was going to ask him that. It's probably why he kissed me *gasp* to distract me" she said.
Hal shook his head,
"No, I kissed you because I wanted to and I thought you would like it just like you did..." He began,
"I did not like it" Lena interrupted him to say.
Hal continued despite her interruption,
"... This is Marla. A big fan of the Imperial family and really wishes to make your acquaintance" he said,
To which Marla gave what was unmistakably a fake smile as she waved at the princess,
"Hello"
