"Sophie?"
He opens the door and calls out so very quietly. If she's still angry with him he'll have to... turn her into a cat all over again so she hears him out. That will definitely be a last resort, though. Tiptoeing through the castle, he moves from room to room but Sophie's nowhere to be found.
She's not in the flower field either, at least not as far as he can see, or spreading weed killer on the driveway, and he knows she wasn't in Kingsbury. That leaves the flower shop. He moves into it so very tentatively and cautiously that the bell above the door doesn't dare tinkle when he moves through. The atmosphere in the shop is decidedly... angry.
Before he does anything else, he turns the sign on the door to read CLOSED and, as politely as possible, makes the few remaining customers buy armloads of flowers very quickly and then leave. Once it's just the two of them, he looks Sophie in the eye, albeit a bit reticently.
"I've news from the king, if you're of a mind to listen."
