*puts her hands behind her and backs across the courtyard, trying to stay out of reach*You say you are fast, my lady. But to keep your eye on me as you are doing now, you are in danger of falling.
Does the thought of my falling concern you? *sidesteps, instead, maybe trying to mislead him*
*pauses in the doorway until he is right within reach, then slips through to the courtyard* You cannot capture me, highness! *laughs harder**Laughs* Then I do accept that challenge! *follows her out, to courtyard*
*puts her hands behind her and backs across the courtyard, trying to stay out of reach*
*darts for the door* I know not. The act of your surrender would have to be prize enough.*Laughs and then runs after her* You would think to outrun me?

Your words are both tempting and enigmatic. *following her movements* And what would you ask of me, if I am to be the one who would surrender to the Lady?

Shan’t play, highness? *teasing*Play? Me? And how would I play such a game of kisses and chases, when I know not the rules.
There are /rules/? That’s terrible. There’s no need for rules. *ducks behind to turn up at his other side*
Then how shall I know if I have… *turns around* won?
I suppose you won’t, unless I surrender. *grins up at him*
*steps towards her* and … how will you be surrendering this day?
