Lyle almost choked on his coffee when she mentioned him ice skating with her. "I...I'm not sure Aria. It's just, it seems very dangerous. I don't want you getting hurt is all. Troy said it himself, it can be very dangerous. If you fall you'll end up cutting yourself pretty badly or just cruising yourself if you're lucky." he explained. "Oh go on now Lyle. Just try it out once. If you don't like it you don't have to do that anymore." his mother suggested. His mother always tried to get him to do things he didn't want to do. He imagined if Troy was here he'd just agree with his mother. "I suppose I can give it one chance but if I cut myself, I'm done." he said. "Sounds fair enough." The king commented. "Besides, you both should spend time together when you can and it isn't like you are extremely busy with classes or work right now so you have time to just take it easy." The king pointed out.

Christmas was something Lyle always loved. Even as a kid. Despite not having any friends, his parents always managed to spend time with him growing up and so all the presents were always for him with a few that his parents had gotten for each other. His favorite part about it all was decorating. He wanted to put the tree up already but he knew he had to wait since it was still too soon to put the decorations all throughout the palace. His father had already gotten a few gifts wrapped up and put away. It seemed Lyle was the only person that needed to get some gifts but he was so bad at that sort of thing. What did his mother like? What did Aria like? What about his father? And Troy? He had to make some sort of list of possible gifts for each person.

"Oh I know, it will be fun Aria, I promise." The queen answered after taking a sip of her drink. She noticed her son wasn't wearing any warm clothes and she found it strange. "Lyle dear, aren't you cold?" she asked him. Lyle snapped out of his thoughts and nodded. "Why aren't you wearing any warm clothes then?" she asked. "Don't have any I like anymore. Also, I am indoors and I'll probably just lay by the fire and read a book." he answered quietly then took another few bites of his food. "You will not be laying on the floor like an animal. You may sit at your chair by the fire, I will not have my family laying on the floor." The queen said seriously, making Lyle smile. "I'll sit then mother. No laying on the floor, I promise."

Winter was around the corner and Lyle wasn't looking forward to it. The man was so delicate when it came to winter. He just hated the idea of being out in the cold and getting sick. But hey, it meant more coffee for him though. His mother and Aria had plans to go out clothes shopping. Something only the girls would do of course. He and his father would stay home and enjoy a day with no ladies around. Just the two of them to talk about Lyle's engagement to Aria. He still had no ring and he knew it was about time he made it official. It wasn't fair to Aria to have to wait for so long. Almost an entire year. He did however have an idea for a ring he had seen on one trip he made out without Aria. He had seen a ring he liked but he wanted to change a few things. So really, Lyle had a custom ring ready for her. He just needed to figure out when to present it to her.

He was always happy whenever Troy visited, the three of them always got along so well and they always went out and spent time together. Troy always seemed to keep notes on everything they did. Making sure that Lyle didn't mess anything up or that Aria didn't lose her patience with Lyle. Troy was a very good friend to them both and even when he wasn't around, Lyle was on the phone almost constantly just wanting to talk and check in on how Troy himself was doing. They had planned on visiting Troy for Christmas and he wondered if Troy knew about this or not.

That morning he reluctantly got out of bed, got dressed in some regular clothes, and made his way down to the dining room to enjoy breakfast with his family. It wasn't long before Aria arrived and he gave her a very tired smile. "Good morning my sweet." he said and kissed the back of her hand then took a sip of his coffee, letting out a content sigh. "Good morning Aria, did you sleep well?" The queen asked then grinned. "Are you ready to go shopping today?" she asked her. "Oh right you girls will be out for part of the day. Well don't you worry about us. Lyle and I will be fine." the king said and received a small smile from his son. "Father is right, we'll be fine." he agreed. The queen rolled her eyes and looked at Aria as breakfast was being served. "I think they just want to get rid of us." she joked. "That is not true." The king replied.
