I've done a bit of business for the princess' dear old dad, and it's been a while since I dropped in to pick up the cabbage I'm owed.

Glad to hear it. You know how he gets when he thinks people are all set to leave him behind for what they think is the better deal.

[And through the cheery smile there's that tiniest hint of malice that says she wouldn't hesitate to report back if he was trying to escape his commitments]
