He listens as he was told of the birds that were making the noise. He was quiet at first, but then he chuckles. Thinking how he describe them was rather humorous. Getting a feeling that the man did not like the birds. But he did mostly for the sound they were making. It wasn't like the tweets and chirps he heard through the window of his chambers. While he does enjoy those noises, this was silly to him and it made him feel good. Even if it might seem strange.
Then Faasnu explains the other noise he was hearing, the ocean. Feeling the shift of movement in the carriage as the other male moves closer to him. He remember being told of it by his tutor, but all he could picture was just a giant lake. He could not picture it being all that large or the sound it would make, but it found it peaceful. It it weren't for the seagulls, the sound of the waves could sooth him to sleep. If he was not so excited about the journey. He was also told of where they were going that was close to the large body of water. "Oh, I can't wait!" he said happily. Wondering what the port would be like.
As he took a seat he asked him about being out of the castle wall. Though his cheeks did turn pink as he called his excitement 'child like'. He could not help himself. It was all new to him. He pulls himself back into the carriage and sat down himself. "You are correct. Ever since I was a child and was taken in by the king. Where I may and may not go was...limited." he tells him in a soft voice He still had a smile on his face, but it didn't seem like a true smile. "If I was not in my chambers I was in the library with my tutor. If I was not there then I was in a special room with people all over the kingdom to come and use my powers to see into their future. There were only a few times where I even met up with his majesty in the dinning hall. That's pretty much all I ever went." he tells him.
Speaking to him about that reminded him the times as a child how he wanted to go to other places, even just to the garden that was right below his chambers. But was told that it would be better of him to stay in his chamber and had the rare squire come and play with him or having some form of company. He was pretty much alone and store away in a room. Only time he really saw people is when they need him for his gift. It made him feel so lonely but he never once complain.
As they sat in the carriage. He heard the other male tell him that if they have the time, he will take him down to the beach and let him enjoy the ocean. He looked like he was about to shout yay, but he stopped himself and shook his head. "That's quite alright." he tells him. "We don't need to take stops on our journey. We should only focus on the task at hand." he tells him. Now he really wanted to go, really he did, but a part of him thought it was selfish. It was already a miracle that he was even let outside the castle. But he sworn to the king and the court that he will use his gifts for the kingdom and the people. So stopping at the beach so that he can just enjoy it sounded to selfish of him. He had to put everyone's safety before his own happiness. That was the point of being an oracle right?
