She started coughing, still rather hysterical. The look that Lorna gave her only made it worse, though, and she found herself outright choking. Not exactly the most ladylike or royal, but she honestly could not care less. Kurt seemed to be ignoring them, which was fine with her. She was still incredibly amused. Possibly moreso. Moments before, he'd been completely fine with making a spectacle of himself at the table, in the company of their parents. And now he decided to be the mature one? She chuckled again, snorting as Pietro gave the obligatory big brother threat.
As Kurt and Lorna teleported away, she waved cheerily and reached for the nearest glass of water, downing much of it and finally composing herself. She wiped away the last of the ears and cleared her throat. "Do you want to go shopping, Wanda? Or something else?"
She shrugged. "It might be a good idea to get out of the palace for awhile. I think we've embarassed Lorna enough for one night. I'd be fine with just walking somewhere if you don't want to shop."

If looks could kill, Pietro would be dead from the looks he was getting from both Lorna and Kurt. Did they expect him not to be protective of his youngest sister? Obviously, they’d forgotten that. Ever since the day Father had shown him Lorna, as a newborn, he'd been a devoted older brother. Well, he’d made his point, and there was no need to go any further with it. He turned his attention to Wanda, as she’d finished with her laughing fit,
"It might be a good idea to get out of the palace for awhile. I think we've embarassed Lorna enough for one night. I'd be fine with just walking somewhere if you don't want to shop." Pietro nodded, a walk would be fine. Just not in the gardens. Maybe on the beach, he could have them there quickly.
“Sure. How about the beach? It should be cooler now that it’s later.”

“Sure. How about the beach? It should be cooler now that it’s later.” She nodded. The beach sounded good. Looking over her outfit, she briefly considered changing. Nah. Granted, as soon as they set foot off of palace property, they'd be swamped by reporters criticizing her outfit or pointing out that Pietro's hair was looking a little droopy... but it was nothing new. And no matter what she did, they'd continue. Besides, it was pretty easy to lose them when she was with Pietro.
Then, there were the autograph seekers. They weren't quite as bad. In fact, some of them were downright delightful. She knew that most of the time, they were just sucking up to royalty, but it was still nice. Especially the kids who were giddy to be meeting a real live princess of sorts. Those were her favorites. "I'll go grab the sharpies and preprinted headshots?"
Laughing, she linked her arm in Pietro's and gestured toward the door. "Take it away."

"I'll go grab the sharpies and preprinted headshots? Take it away." It was a good thing Pietro knew Wanda was joking. He hated being asked for his autograph, or trying to stand still for a picture. It was the only disadvantage to being the son of the ruler of the world. Constant attention from the media. And the rumors they started were ridiculous! If he so much as looked at a female, the press had them engaged, or having a torrid affair. Never mind what happened if he said a simple, polite, "Hello".
It was a bit aggravating. In all honesty, Pietro rather be ignored. Not that his life was all that exciting, by their standards, he was pretty boring.
"Let's get out of here. I'll try to outrun the reporters."
