consign me {NOT} to [DARKNESS] (Crimmy)

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"She's a very nice girl," Kit defended, "And she's very helpful. She's told me lots of things about our family."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Its what she chose... Sadly... We're just a blink of an eye in her immortality..." Fae murmurs

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"I know," His voice dipped to a sad note, "I feel bad for her, having to watch this family live and die forever.."

[CrimsonMoon]

Its what she chose, the brave girl..." She murmurs," Now... Its time to finish our trip.."

-T I M E . S k i p-

They arrive at the capitol of Mercia, Fae having grown increasingly quiet as they reached the palace gates for the great festival...

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Cat, on the other hand, was nearly jumping around in excitement. She'd get to fight in the tournament and she couldn't think of anything better!

Kit looked up at the palace gates, his eyebrows quirking upward.

And guess who had come to greet them at the gates? Rhoswen stood with some soldiers, dressed in a slim blue gown, the neckline plunging a little low so she didn't have to wear a corset. She beamed and waved wildly when she picked out Fae's red hair in the distance.

[CrimsonMoon]

Fae waves back with a grin, despite her anger

Scout sees her ad instantly urges his horse foreward

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Who's that?" Cat asked, seeing the familiarity in Fae's gaze. She and Kit were walking side by side, arm in arm.

Rhoswen blushed and her smile grew a little more when she noticed Scout.

[CrimsonMoon]

Scout's horse skids to a halt in front of Mercian welcome party, his gaze traveling to commander Todd and Rhosewyn then to the Queen," The Princess sends her warmest regards," he says with a deep bow

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Queen Kalidara smiled, returning the bow with a nod, "I do as well. It's an honor to have her here in Mercia," she told him. Her own red hair was pinned up neatly, her purple satin dress prim and proper, "You all are welcome here," she said, gesturing to the entire Odin party.

Rhos kept her hands clasped behind her back, looking the part of a good little noble bird, though her eyes followed Scout in a familiar way.

[CrimsonMoon]

As the Odin party approached, Fae smiles slightly at the queen and dips her head

Scout's gaze rests especially on Rhos, a small smile on his lips as if promising to meet her later

A lithe and handsome noble steps up beside the queen," M'lady..."

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Kali returned the smile then turned her attention to the young man, "Yes?"

Rhoswen smiled knowingly and glanced away from him, her gaze drifting to Fae and the others.

Cat looked around curiously, but her brother made sure she kept her mouth shut. They weren't linked together now, Cat lingering slightly behind him.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Lady Rhosewyn, my beloved fiance... She seems to be growing tired," the young noble murmurs

Fae smiles at Rhosewyn and winks gently, her gaze also turning to the youngm man

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Yes, the excitement seems to be very high right now. Perhaps you'd be so kind as to escort her to the Royal seats before the tourney begins?" The queen suggested with a smile, "Rhoswen, dear."

The girl's head snapped back to her aunt and something unhappy flickered in her blue eyes, but she moved over to them with one last glance at Scout.

[CrimsonMoon]

The young man nodded and gently took Rhos's arm

Scout watches her leae, pain and anger flashing briefly in his eyes before he turns away

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Rhoswen managed a soft little smile and murmured her thanks. She had no idea what he had meant- she felt completely fine. It's not like anything had happened.

"Now," the queen spread her arms, "Please, everyone do come and get settled in before the tournament."

[CrimsonMoon]

-MINI . TIME . SKIP-

Fae sat down next to the Queen, sadly, she wouldnt participate in the games but she seemed to be enjoying the spectacle

Scout had lead Kit to the tent where the jousters were getting prepared, scout bumps his shoulder lightly," Is there a girl out there...?"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

Queen Kalidara seemed to like it herself, for she actually watched with rapt attention. Rhoswen sat on her other side, hands folded neatly in her lap. She was smiling, but looked distracted.

Kit looked up from what he was doing, eyebrows raising, "A girl out where?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" A girl that you'll ask a favor from? You know... To hive you luck," Scout chuckles," a lover, boy!"

[нαℓƒ~мσση]

"Oh," Kit blinked sheepishly. Immediately, his mind went to the Guardian, but he couldn't really say that to Scout, "Er, no, not really...What about you?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" Yes but.... She's being given to another..." Scout sighs and suddenly smirks," That doesnt mean she isnt mine though,"
