Radia followed him out, pausing as he did for a moment. She closed the door behind her, and waited for him to start walking again. When he started walking again, she debated whether she should stick close, or maintain her usually few-steps-behind distance. By the time she came to a conclusion, she was already a few steps behind. She started following after in, walking a little faster in order to catch up with his slightly longer strides.

((Sorry, I kinda moved James a bit >.< I can change this, if you want. I just didn't know how to write a somewhat-decent reply.
Also, sorry for late. Life got really in the way.))

yeah same for me, there)

James glanced back at her occasionally, as well as stopping briefly here and there, when she got too far behind, letting her catch up as needed. He really wouldn't mind her walking a bit closer, or even next to him, but he didn't say that out loud, since it might be a bit awkward, if she took it the wrong way or something. He was almost curious, about what her reaction would be when she actually saw the gardens, since she seemed to be quite excited when he just mentioned it. The gardens were, of course, very well-kept and contained various sorts of plants, exotic, and not, and a rather small lake sat roughly in the center of it, with a few fish, that were well-kept as well, swimming in it. There were a few fruit and vegetable-bearing plants, as well.

Radia kept her distance throughout the trip, making sure to still note where everything was. The garden could be a potential escape for her. If it wasn't closed off properly, and gave her a chance at leaving. She would more than likely take it. It would beat being kept prisoner with a secret here at the castle. As they approached the garden, she could smell some of the plants from even inside the castle. She wondered what the gardens would be like, and her curiosity only grew. How was it set up? Where would the colors be placed so that each flower complimented the next? What were the decorations like? Each question leading to another, anticipation weighing her down like a stone at the pit of her stomach.

((Sorry this came so late, school washed over me and then lost WiFi at my house, so I haven't been able to get on for long periods of time. I should be more active on weekends, starting next. ))
