Zayn let out a chuckle. "Most aren't. Althought don't tell them I said that," Zayn whispered dramatically with a grin, pretending as if he was letting the other in on some top secret information. "I wouldn't be against that. Especially with such a handsome lad." Zayn said with a wink of his own being thrown in the other man's direction. Zayn let out a chuckle and shrugged his shoulders. "You'd be surprised. Daemon keeps me on a lax leash. I have more free time than I would have with most other royals, I must admit." Zayn said with a nod of his head and a grin. He nodded his head as he heard the other man's words. "I'll make sure to thank that friend of yours personally then. It's been such a honor getting to meet you." Zayn said with a chuckle.

Zayn let out a chuckle and nodded his head. “As I said. I’ve been there a time or two in my summers on this planet.” Zayn said with a grin and a playful wink. And when he heard the other man’s shameless words? Zayn couldn’t help but to laugh. “We’ll see just who ends up trying to kick who away by the end of the night.” Zayn told the other man with a chuckle and a shrug of his shoulders. “Though I suppose I should introduce myself first, hm? My name is Zayn Ali. I’m a gentleman-in-waiting for prince Daemon of Rhorm.” Zayn says with a grin and a playful bow.

“I’m glad the people of Rhorm are so understanding.” Kiaan grinned. At least the man had been put off by his admitted, selfishness. “We should put it to a test then...” He replied with a wink of his own. As the man introduced himself, Kiaan wondered at the chance. it wasn’t as if he had a deep relationship with the royal family. He hadn’t expected to hear of any other royals. “See? I could never tire of such an interesting new friend. Though, I should ask, as a gntle-man-in-waiting, I doubt you’d have the time to entertain me.” Really, what was the chance. “I should introduce myself as well, you can call me Kiaan, I come from Nok. A friend had business here and as I do, I tagged along.” He wasn’t sure if the other man knew of him, it wasn’t something he expected. He did go out of his way to make himself unknown.

Brint noticed the smile on his newphew's face, and reminded himself to make sure that he could bring it on more often. The boy definitely looked handsome. "You should make sure to keep your smile. I don't want to see a silly things like politics takke that away from you." Brint says with a grin as he playfully pinched the younger man's cheek with a smirk.

Brint grinned as he heard his nephew's words. Brint brought his arms up and playfully flexed them along with his chest, allowing the meaty pecs to bounce and jiggle a bit. "Unfortunately, that is unlikely. Although who knows...Perhaps being a hunk is hereditary and you'll be blessed with genes close to mine." Brint jested with a laugh and a shrug of his shoulders.

Brint nodded his head, chuckling as he nodded his head. "Oh I remember. Kind of hard to forget. At times, I was wondering if your father had ordered you to kill me." Brint said with a big grin on his face. Remembering how the younger man had definitely come close to hitting Brint a few times.

This was nice. Owen had forgotten when was the last time he could enjoy a momento to himself and his family. There was always a visitor, always another noble offering their condolences. Despite the naturally grim topic of their conversation, the prince could draw a gentle smile on his face. Oh, how had he missed his privacy.

"Well, you've piqued my interest, then," he said gently, leaning on the railing as well as they both overviewed the fields. All of that land was his now, and he would protect it fiercely. "Does that mean I'll bulk up like you have, then? You've always been the biggest Gauthier, uncle-"

He could tease in return, of course. Now that there were no prying eyes or meddling servants, he could let a few walls down. In the end, he figured being a king was all a game of walls. What to show and what to hide. Now there was no need for them.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much, uncle. You're the one who taught me how to use a bow 15 years ago, remember? You've already impacted our lives."

Santiago couldn't help but to chuckle as he heard the other man's words. It appears that the other man has a little bit of sass and sarcasm on him. That was perfect in Santiago's eyes. Because this crew? They definitely loved to dish it out between each other. So it was nice to know that the boy wouldn't get his feelings hurt so easily. Santiago smirked as he leaned forward and nodded his head.

"You do bring up a good point. It wouldn't hurt to have another person on the ship for everyone to be able to fuck when need be," Santiago said with a hum before nodding his head. "Fine....However, your duties are going to begin immediately," Santiago said with a smirk as he stood up. "Are you shy, Dorian? Because I'm considering taking you to the deck and seeing just how loud we can get you to wail in pleasure."

Dorian was keeping quite a composed expression despite the situation he found himself in, captured by strange men on a ship that had already set sail. Truth be told though his heart was racing as the man hummed over how long he was going to keep Dorian here, though whether more out of nerves or excitement he wasn't sure. He could still feel the large hands of the men either side of him, pressing down on his shoulders to keep him kneeling.

The question about what he could provide them caught him off-guard, lips parting for a moment but silence before swiftly recovering. "I think we both know one look at me would suggest I don't know how to sail a ship, so obviously I'm not about to start now" He remarked, trying to keep his cool as he tilted his chin up at the Captain, pride and perhaps a bit of defiance and mischief in those pretty eyes too.

"It's Dorian, not brat thank you very much. I'm actually delightful company which clearly you all are in need of and considering your men's hands wander and so do your eyes, clearly I'm eye candy as well. So...don't throw me off and I suppose you can consider me entertainment with my dazzling personality and charm."

Brint let out a snort as he crossed his arms across his rather impressive chest. "One could hope, although most tend to forget simplicity when tempted with better things." Brint said with a shrug of his shoulders. Although Brint wasn't exact someone who believed in not advancing obviously, Brint believed of making sure not to overindulge. That way one could remain humble.

"The foolest of fools," Brint's lips curved up into a smirk as he looked at Louis. And he couldn't help but to laugh. "I can definitely imagine a few different scenarios on just how exactly the night can end." Brint said with a hum and a playful wink. "Some professionally...Some a bit more intimiately." He said with a chuckle.

slicexofxtheirxlives​:

Brint’s lips pulled up into a grin as he heard the other man’s words. “Ah, another guy who can see the value in simplicity as well?” Brint asked with a chuckle as he peered at the other man curiously.

Brint let out a chuckle and shook his head. “Well, if that’s truly what he is doing? Then he appears to be a fool from the little I’ve spoken to you so far.” Brint says with a nod of his head. “Oh for sure. If I have to choose between my friends and the kingdom? Friends come first.” Brint jested with a chuckle and a shake of his head. Obviously not meaning that. He wouldn’t have had this position if that’s how he truly felt. “Yes, yes. The stress of work makes me long for relaxing with others. Should it lead to something else? Well, no complaints.” Brint said with a chuckle and a shrug of his large shoulders.

“One would hope, to not lose the sight of simplicity...it help keeps a person settled.” A little bit of clarity. For some, it was something that had to be developed.

“That being said, I can not deny that I do indulge in a bit of extravagance.” By nature of how he grew up, by nature of his role. It had become apart of him. “Still a fool?” Louis let out a chuckle, “That is admirable, it shows character.” Was he a little more shrewd? Maybe. “You’re friends are lucky to have you, though I hold none nothing against my own for missing a drink. I’ll just make sure to have a few extra ale’s on his coin.” One only could only think about what the what else could lead the other too but Louis was sure he had a good idea as he looked over the other’s room. “I work ask about your work but I am interested to know the various ways the night can end for you. I’d like to learn more about my new friend.”

Zayn let out a chuckle and nodded his head. "As I said. I've been there a time or two in my summers on this planet." Zayn said with a grin and a playful wink.

Zayn couldn’t help but to chuckle as he heard the other man’s words. A smirk coming across his lips as he thought about them. “Ah, I’ve definitely been there a time or two. Often times after a little to much wine.” Zayn admitted with a nod of his head and a smirk. He chuckled and hummed. “I wouldn’t beseech them in that way. Not unless you can handle someone with a grudge. If someone did that to me? Life long enemy, no questions asked.” Zayn joiked back with a smirk on his face. Zayn let out a hum. “Are you a go with the flow kind of guy?” The gentleman in waiting asked the other man curiously.

“That’s what it was, entirely too much wine.” Thankfully, Kiaan found himself built for it. “I also thank you for forewarning, I’ll make sure to refrain from leaving you after a drunken night out.” The stranger was interesting, fun, just what Kiaan was in the mood for. “Maybe you’ve convinced me....” He hummed out, nodding his head at the other questions. “That I am, whenever I go, I go. I tend not to find trouble but as you can see...” Kiaan made a motion, “I followed the flow easily last night. In fact, unless you’re going off into battle, I planned to attach myself to you until you kicked me away.” He shrugged, a tad shameless but he was away from home and didn’t have a current care. “If not that, wallow around town until I can find my companion...”

Brint preferred to handle his grief in private, although there were times where it slipped out. However right now? He was The Hand of the King. And with the crowned king dead and his nephew yet to be coronated? That meant that most of the burdens and responsibilities fell onto his broad shoulders, and he refused to let anyone see him buckle. He may not be the smartest, but he's definitely one of the most stubborn and resilient people. He wasn't going to let that change any time soon.

The hand let out a snort and shook his head. "That's even better," Brint said honestly with a small smile. "It's annoying to have to play politics during this time. To hear people say such kind words now when the very words would have gone unsaid if my brother was walking these grounds. I don't need comfort, I merely need company." Brint assured with a shake of his head.

"So you handsome, antisocial hunk...Thank you for staying with me for a bit." Brint said with a smile and a nod.

The rider was pleased to see that Brint was... rather optimistic, given the circumstances. From what he understood, grief was a process that affected everyone differently but for the most part, it seemed to lower their moods. Not Brint, though. He seemed just as eager and upbeat as always, though the rider would be lying if he said he hadn't noticed a hint of a dark cloud around his words. Perhaps Brint was mourning for his brother, but in his own way...

And that was why, despite believing that he wasn't much for company, the rider gave a nod. "If that is what you wish, yes." Magnus then moved over to where Brint was sitting and he moved to sit beside him. "Though I must apologize... I'm not very good company, nor am I any good at consoling." The last person he had grieved over had been many years ago, and it was part of the reason he wasn't one that made many relationships beyond superficial. Because he knew he would outlive most of them.

"But if this is what you wish, my Lord, then so be it."

Brooklyn had been surprised when the other had taken his hits without even attempting to block or dodge. At least that's what he hoped. Because Brooklyn wasn't going all out yet. He was still trying to get a feel. And he hoped the man had better reaction time than that. When the other man spoke though? Brooklyn couldn't help but to grin. Happy to know that it wasn't the latter and that this man might actually give him a little bit of a workout.

"A beautiful and graceful one? Aw, how kind of you to agree with me." Brooklyn said with a big grin on his lips before watching the other as he moved to strike this time. Unlike the other man, he had no desire to take attacks so carelessly. He moved to dodge the punch, but his eyes followed the other as he changed his attack and went to sweep his legs instead.

"Aw, so close!" Brooklyn giggled as he gracefully leaned back to do a graceful backflip to avoid the leg from sweeping his balance out from under him. Ending in a crouch right in front of the other man and going so far as to even lean forward and teasingly kiss the other man's nose. "That was the best move I've seen someone do today, believe it or not." The dragon rider may be without his dear weapons, but it was clear that he was still feeling comfortable in his victory. Being a dragon rider had it's advantages after all, and being good at combat? Was practically second nature at this point.

No amount of trash talk was enough to dissuade the Eddisian prince. Once he was in the mindset of a fight, it was all he was focused on. And boy, what a fight he was sure to be. It wasn't at all often that Matai was able to fight against men that were, no doubt, more skilled than he - at least, not at this point in his life - and most people would argue that there were none more trained than riders. After all, they spent most of their time on the mountains training, and if there were anyone considered to be the top fighters in Aladonia? It was them.

Of course, Matai also had a bit of an... unorthodox method when it came to fighting new opponents. Instead of dodging their attacks, learning their movements, he learned them by actually taking the attacks. So when the punch was thrown his way, he simply stood still and absorbed the blow, getting a gauge for the male's tactics and power, when he saw the kick. Luckily, he had ducked his head out of the way in time, but the kick did wind up connecting with his shoulder instead.

With a chuckle, Matai took a few steps back as he looked him over. "Ah, I see... That's the kind of fighter you are, huh?" Oh, this was only going to make it all the more fun. With the distance he had created between them, he decided to go for a run and he pulled his arm back with the intention of throwing a punch, but instead of doing so, he slid to the ground at the last minute, his legs immediately aiming for the rider's to sweep him off his feet - quite literally.

Santiago couldn't help but to chuckle as he heard the other man's words. "That it did. I wonder how long I shall keep you on the ship, though?" Santiago asked with a hum as he tapped his fingers against his desk with a smirk. "Throwing you overbord to the sea herself is not exactly out of the realm of possibilities, little intruder." The lazy man said with a chuckle before teasingly patting the other man's cheek.

"Is there...Something you think you can provide for us to keep me from throwing you off?" Santiago asked with a quirked eyebrow. Santiago leaned forward and smirked. "Because everyone here? They have to pull their weight one way or the other. And I'm not going to let some stowaway get a free ride. So unless you want me to turn around and go back to the port that we left from? You better think of something you can contribute, brat."

Dorian's eyes drifted up slowly to the handsome man before him - supposedly the Master of Ships himself, a gorgeous man who towered over the kneeling noble - that hand against his chin making his eyes flutter and his heart race, head tilted up to stare at the man as he was surrounded by him and his other men. The blush only growing brighter at the taunting words and the chuckle from the other beefy men around them, though he heard one of them comment that if it meant keeping the boy that they could live with that and Dorian had no idea if they were being serious or not, though the idea was only making his heart race faster and squirm on his knees.

Tongue flicking past his lips at the question, hazel eyes staring up at the man. "Well, part of what I was hoping for worked because I got on the ship didn't I?" He remarked, smart mouth as per usual. "I suppose I wanted to escape for a bit and explore - a bit of rebellion" He replied, swallowing thickly. "So what happens now, hm? I pay a fine or something and get thrown off before departure?"

The junior warden hadn't expected to show up as early as he did. And found himself watching the knights as they did their drills. Dang...Emilio couldn't imagine doing all of this in the hot. Most people who know Emilio expect him to be someone prefers the heat. But Emilio much prefers the cold. So this time of year was never really his faovrite.

Emilio was brought out of his thoughts by the other addressing him, and he nearly leapt in surprise. He had moved towards the other man without even thinking about what he was going to say, so instead he merely offered the other a sheepish grin and held up the basket of fruits that he had in his hands.

"I've seen that you and the knights have been training hard, and thought that I would offer you guys some healthy fruit to snack on. Along with your dragon...Although, now that I think about it...Do dragons even like fruit?" The last part was said more outloud to himself more than the other, his eyes getting lost once more as he almost found himself retreating back into his head before shaking his head. "Sorry, sorry! I tend to get spacy sometimes. But anyways, I figured that it would be hard to train with nothing in the stomachs. Which I heard some of theirs growling so I went and got some fruits and came back here."

"AGAIN" his voice boomed across the training field filled with knights. The expression on his face was one of almost no emotion as he looked at them watching as they moved through the motions of the drill he was running. He could see the soreness in their arms the looks of contempt and tiredness etched on the face of those he commanded. "AGAIN." His eyes trained on a few in the back that haven't seemed to master what he was trying to teach them. "you in the back." He spoke as he moved through the crowd, "One more time" all of his attention was focused on this one knight as we went through the drill. His dragon that was lazily napping in the sun picked up his head for a moment before going back to resting having no interest in what his rider was doing at the moment. "Good, Everyone take a rest be back in 15 minutes if you are not 75 pushups so don't be late." He moved over to a large through of water before taking off his shirt and pouring a bucket over his body to help negate the effects of the sun. "Anything I can help you with?" He asked not moving to look at the other that had come closer to him.

Nature has always been a rather beautiful thing to Emilio. Which is probably why it shocked no one when Emilio was revealed to have a affinity for nature magic. Especially plants. Emilio loved plants and animals with anything and everything inside of him, and he often times used them to help heal his fellow man. So now that he has the powers that he has? He loves to use them to learn more about plants and nature itself.

So Emilio loved to spread his love for nature with everyone, especially in such dark times as this. Emilio was going around and handing flower after flower to people as he wandered around. Grabbing a seed randomly from his pocket and using his magic to make it bloom right then and there for whatever people. Some got common flowers, while others got more that were unique. Either way? They were beautiful to Emilio's eyes.

Emilio reached blindly for a seed when he saw someone step up, and he used his magic to grow. He smiled as he watched the flower begin to grow and bloom, and he offered it to the other man carefully before realizing just who it was.

"Oh, hey! Wasn't expecting to see you here," Emilio said with a soft chuckle as he looked at the other. "You like the flower? Can always see what other seeds I have if you'd prefer to try your luck again?" He offered with a kind smile.

[slicexofxtheirxlives]

"Animal and plant life don't interest the average person so I've noticed," Emilio said with a chuckle, a small pout forming on his lips. "Though I find both to be quite fascinating myself. People are social creatures, and thus tend to prefer places that are more...Populated." Emilio said after a moment of trying to think of a word, and nodded his head when he realized that was definitely the word. He looked at the handsome prince, a small blush on his cheeks as they made eye contact. "Well...If you want, I can be your guide? I'm quite familiar with the area." He said with a smile as he twiddled with the flower in his hand softly.

Emilio nodded his head and took the offered hand. "I too suffer from that affliction unfortunately. Especially when surrounded by nature." Emilio said, letting out a small chuckle. Emilio always felt such a rush when he was in nature. As if he was finally home...Finally safe. He loved and cherished each and every moment.

"My name is Emilio Madrid. I'm the junior warden for Nok." Emilio explained with a smile as he looked down at the other. "If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing out here? Not that many people seem to be that fond of this area." Emilio asked curiously.

Brint couldn't help but to let out a chuckle as he heard Berik's flattery. "Stroking my ego, huh? Now I'm concerned," Brint jested with a playful smirk as he stared back into the other man's eyes. Brint heard the other man's request and nodded his head before pushing himself up with a soft grunt. "Of course, of course," Brint said with a chuckle as he stood up and stretched, letting out a satisfied groan.

"Where are we walking to, King Berik?" The man asked with a smiple, his dimples in full effect.

"Hello Brint," Berik spoke in a deep voice as he smiled. The king always had a smile on his face. Berik was well known for his smiles but they did have another side too. "I thought that someone as handsome as yourself could keep me company," he answered as he got closer towards the male and looked into those eyes for a moment before pulling away.

"Are you free to do that and walk with me?"

[slicexofxtheirxlives]

Brint let out a relieved sigh. Happy to know that he wasn't going to fight him on it. He watched as his nephew made his way towards the balcolny in the garden, gazing at the fields that was a distance away. He couldn't help but to be proud of his nephew, and thought to his brother that he did a fine job raising such a strong man. Because many people would be buckling under the weight right now, and Brint had half expected his nephew to. But it appears that he was wrong to think so.

Still, he'd make sure that he was nearby for his nephews just in case.

"Not everyone is close quarter fighters, this is true," Brint says with a nod. "There's still a few simple tricks that I can teach you. Ones that will help detour someone or give you space or time." Brint followed his nephew, moving to lean against the railing with a smile.

"Besides, I have to teach you boys some tricks. I do hope to retire someday after all and would like to know that I've taught someone something." He joked playfully.

Owen nodded, knowing there was wisdom in his uncle's words. A lot was happening like to hold on to the naïve hope that this would be the end of the attacks on the Gauthiers. For better or worse, things had to change. The idea of a prince or a king who could his own in battle wasn't too farfetched considering the events that led to this particular coronation.

He sighed in defeat, knowing his job was only starting.

"I don't need any more time to grieve," he said at last, looking back at Brint with fiery intent in his piercing blue eyes. "I'd rather occupy myself with something productive rather than break down crying. No amount of self pity will bring father back, but doing this will help me ensure my life and the life of others."

He took a few steps away, towards a balcony in the garden with a view of some of the fields in the distance.

"I'm afraid you'll have your work cut out for you, uncle. I'm great with a bow and arrow... but anything close quarters..."

Santiago was known for being quite the lazy leader. Sure, he made sure the ship was always in working order and that the crew had everything they needed and most of what they wanted. However, Santiago also was never going to say no to a nice little nap. Especially in his favorite hammock on the deck. So when news about a intruder had caught his ear? Santiago figured that perhaps he should cut back on the amount of time he left napping and star/cloud gazing.

Santiago watched as the cute little stowaway was dragged towards him, and the Eddis Master of Ships couldn't help but to smirk as he looked at him. His handsome face cupped in his hands gently as he leaned forward, allowing his eyes to rake up and down the other man's figure. "Hm...Now, now, men...Even if we did keep him? I would be calling first dibs." He jested, hearing the two chuckle at that. "Tell me little intruder, what were you hoping by sneaking onboard?"

for @slicexofxtheirxlives who wanted a starter

So Dorian had done some rather foolish or reckless things in the past for his wanderlust or desire to not be bored if only for a little bit but this perhaps took the cake. He knew of a ship that was leaving for Eddis and after a few particularly grooling days of dealing with his parents antics about who he should marry or his noble responsibilities he'd decided to try and escape for a little bit, maybe just a few days.

So he'd paid off one of the crew to let him onboard, unfortunately for Dorian he'd been caught by a few less bribable crew members which is how he found himself in this current position. On his knees, two beefy men either side of him with a hand on his shoulder waiting for their Captain to arrive. Who likely would of been told that they had a stowaway noble onboard and no doubt one of the men was already asking Santiago if they could keep him.

Brooklyn let out a chuckle and shook his head as he heard Tokki let out a snort inside of his head through their bond. Obviously agreeing with the other man's words. "Of course. Can't exactly be a timid rider. Well...I guess you could. Anything possible. Just probably would be a bit hard." Brooklyn said with a grin.

"Tokki is doing just fine. Enjoying the fine winds that today has brought." Brooklyn said with a happy smile and a nod of his head. "She can be quite the handful at times. Though I suppose like dragon, like rider." Brooklyn said with a playful wink.

slicexofxtheirxlives​:

Brooklyn let out a hum. “Just because someone isn’t allowed to do something, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen.” The boy said with a grin as he looked at the other. Honestly? Brooklyn was probably one of the younger riders. He was just about as young as he looked, although he is excited about the fact that he’ll look this way for quite awhile. Because if you ask him? He definitely has quite the appealing look.

Brooklyn watched as the other man took a drink of his ale before hearing his words. And a playful grin came across Brooklyn’s lips. “You could…There’s definitely no one stopping you. But why ask a question when you already know the answer?” Brooklyn asked curiously and sent a playful wink in the other man’s direction.

Lukaz didn’t need to let Brooklyn know just how right he was in that assessment. It’s why the warden got away with so much, how would you put it… under-the-table dealings. As long as he kept them to himself and didn’t make a show of it, well, it was as though it never happened. Right…?

“I suppose you riders always go for a bit of trouble, don’t you?” Lukas returns with a knowing, recognized glance. “I remember being young, having fun… or what my old idea of fun was, at least. At least you get a dragon for your trouble… how are they doing, anyway?”

Brint's lips pulled up into a grin as he heard the other man's words. "Ah, another guy who can see the value in simplicity as well?" Brint asked with a chuckle as he peered at the other man curiously.

Brint let out a chuckle and shook his head. "Well, if that's truly what he is doing? Then he appears to be a fool from the little I've spoken to you so far." Brint says with a nod of his head. "Oh for sure. If I have to choose between my friends and the kingdom? Friends come first." Brint jested with a chuckle and a shake of his head. Obviously not meaning that. He wouldn't have had this position if that's how he truly felt. "Yes, yes. The stress of work makes me long for relaxing with others. Should it lead to something else? Well, no complaints." Brint said with a chuckle and a shrug of his large shoulders.

slicexofxtheirxlives​:

Brint let out a chuckle and nodded his head. “You should. It may not be as ‘high class’ as most of us are used to…But it’s a nice place to just relax and simply…Exist.” Brint said with a nod of his head.

Brint let out a loud laugh. “that definitely makes it a bit easier! Knowing you’ve been stood up for the kingdom and not because they don’t want ot be around you is definitely a bit more comforting.” Brint said with his grin coming out once more, the dimples coming out full force. Brint took his own glass and pressed it against the other man’s, nodding his head as he did so. “To a good night and making new and better friends.” Brint says with a chuckle as he clinked their glasses together before happily taking another drink.

“Then it’s perfect for me.” Nothing against ‘high class Louis did enjoy it from time to time. Sometimes he also just liked something a little more. To simply exist as the other man said. 

“One would hope but you might be onto something, what if standing me up for the Kingdom code for, he doesn’t really like me? Some food for thought.” His tone was light compared to his words and there was a smile on Louis face. Not that he truly believed that, this was one of his closet friends, someone he put up no image around. “Better friends?” Louis raised a brow. “You’re saying you’d be a better friend? I’ll keep that in mind.” He took another drink. “So, it is simple relaxing and existing that brought you here tonight?”

Kiaan hadn’t planned on looking so lost. He had thought he looked a little more assured of himself but that hadn’t been the case. Kiaan let out a small laugh when he heard the other’s question. “Not down....attempting to track down a friend is more like it.” That really summed it up but Kiaan continued on. “I was visiting with a friend of mine. A wild night happened....” He trailed off there, it was a wild night. From what he could remember. “I’ve passed through it before but it was a tad bit more contained.” With his family, when he was carefully watched over. Watched over enough at least. “Now, I’m departing on trying to track down my friend or head back to Nok and leave him to his fate.” The last bit was said with humor and a smile. His friend would be fine either way, better off than Kiaan most likely. “Or maybe I’ll see where the day takes me.” One day of dally wouldn’t hurt, no one would notice.
