Hava nodded sympathetically. She had been one one of the lucky ones, if you could call it lucky, who was taken as a baby. This meant that, somewhere out there, she still had parents. One day, she hoped to find them. But since Rivi came to the castle at the age of seven, she probably was being hidden by her parents, and they were probably killed as punishment. "The poor dear. I hate the king's laws about Gracelings. They are so unfair..." She said, her voice slightly wavering. "But I'm sure she'll be fine. She has to be."
The king nodded, "Ahh. Smart boy," he said, stroking his chin with his fingers. He didn't like hearing about those who hated them, though he was aware they were many. "This is why I put her in your care. I knew I could trust you to raise her properly. Unlike the rest of this castle," He said, muttering the last part to himself. Then he rose his voice again, its commanding tone ringing through the throne room, "I want her to be completely obedient and loyal. Do whatever it takes." He ordered.
Cassandra put her hands over her face, and let out a frustrated sigh. "There are so many. So many Zani! And he treats them like slaves...Just today he brought in a little girl--a fire wielder. She was six or seven, which means her parents had hidden her, so she's probably an orphan now. I want to help these children, but I don't know what to do with them! Most of them have no parents, or no idea who their parents are, and the rest of the population is afraid of them..." Then, she got an idea. The queen shot out of her chair and began pacing the floor. "What if, we started sending them out of the country? Nander and Monsea both allow for Gracelings to roam free."

{Im thinking about making another Character.. got any ideas??} (we still need guards (sword fighting or strength grace), warriors, maybe some type of prince or princess who isnt a graceling, you could do a pirate, a maid, a cook, any type of royal court person (duke, dutchess, earl, lord, etc), spies (with grace of disguise), stable master who can talk to horses, etc. the possiblitites are endless!)

Alejo was overjoyed by his king's praise but did not let it show. "Yes my king. I shall fulfill your expectations." He stood up and continued "I shall now take my leave." Alejo turned and started heading towards the direction of the mess hall. He hadn't eaten yet after all.

"She will," Vetiver responded, still looking unhappy. He'd been a slightly late bloomer himself, handed over to the king when he showed his grace at the age of three, and all he remembered of his mother was the smell of moss and clary sage. She was alive, if it was true that he'd been handed over willingly. He wouldn't mind his life as an apothecary if he was free to roam wherever he wanted, but it was pointless to pine over a dream that would never happen. Sometimes he thought about a rebellion, because collectively he knew that the gracelings of the castle could defeat the king, but it would be hard to get everyone to agree to something like that. "It's just terrible. I wish things weren't like this, too."

(I'd have a character come eat with ya @brambletoe, but they are all taken ) Cassandra nodded. "That could work..." She murmured as she stared out the window at the city below. Then she turned back to face her lady in waiting, "But what will we do when the king realizes some of his precious Gracelings are missing?" She said, frustrated at the situation. She bit her lip, "Try to find one in the castle who he wouldn't know was missing. One that has a lesser Grace, so that we may test out the escape route to see if it is feasible. If it works, we will go on from there." She said decidedly. Then she dismissed her, "You may go. Report to me as soon as you find a suitable candidate."

Hava reached over the table to give Vetiver's hand a reassuring squeeze, "I know. But we need to keep hope that one day we will be free. All of us. And then we can do whatever we please." She smiled as she thought of being able to travel all over the Seven Kingdoms, doing whatever she liked. "What would you do if you were free? Where would you go?" She asked her companion, her voice carrying a slight dreamy tone to it.

Haha it's fine.))
Alejo ordered his meal from the cooks and then left to his quarters. The noise of the mess hall always bothered him. He reached his quarters and stepped in side. He was surprisingly stressed by the the prospect of having to raise the child into a proper servant. After taking a bite of his meal he decided he would go to the training grounds to try and improve how long he could use his grace after getting a report from either Hava or Vetiver. He hadn't had much time to train while guarding the king.

Attai blushed and tucked her curls behind her ears. She felt herself relax a little as she heard Jax laugh. "I don't like to talk about my grace.. It's embarrassing." She admitted. The fact that he talked so freely about having a Grace caught her a little off guard, was he working for the king? Should she be worried? She wasn't sure, but his Irish accent and crooked smile drew her in. "My name is Attai, if i didn't already mention that." She smiled and dusted off her book.

Vetiver smiled at the thought, his gaze drifting to the windows. "Hm, so many places. I would really love to see what it's like in the wilds, away from civilization. Like the forests, or even places in other countries, like jungles and deserts. Then I'd like to find a home of my own. Where would you go?" He asked.

(wait is Alejo going to the training grounds before or after the report?)
It made Hava happy to hear about Vetiver's dreams. "I sincerely hope you get to go there one day," She said with a smile. Then she thought for a moment, "I would love to travel around the Seven Kingdoms, to the more remote parts of the countries, to help take care of and heal those who don't have doctors or medics like us." She said. Then she looked outside and realized it was getting dark. "Perhaps I should go report to Alejo." She said as she looked over at the still-sleeping little girl.

After the report.))
Alejo finished his meal and then waited for one of the two of them to report to him. He was feeling somewhat excited to finally unleash his grace again. It almost felt like his transformed state was his true nature.

Vetiver smiled fondly. "Of course you'd want to help people. I didn't expect anything less." He said. He would like to continue being a apothecary medic, as well. He enjoyed working with herbs and making remedies. Then he nodded. "Mhm. I'd come with you, but I'd hate for Rivi to happen to wake up while we're gone."

Hava rose and walked to Rivi's bed to make sure she was still asleep. The little girl was breathing evenly and she had a peaceful look on her face. Hava smiled at the sight, then left to go report to Alejo. She made her way up the castle stairs, to the third floor, where Alejo's quarters were--in the same floor and wing as the king's. It made her a little nervous to be so close to the king's chambers, so she walked faster till she arrived at Alejo's rooms. She knocked softly on his door, not wanting to alert anyone else to her presence. "It's Hava," She whispered.
Jax looked at Attai with a curious look on his face. "An embarrassing grace, huh?" He said with a smirk on his face. "Now you've really got me interested. What could be such an embarrassing grace that a beautiful lady such as yourself doesn't want to talk about it?" He teased. Then he pointed a finger in the air, "Wait! Let me guess...your grace must be beauty!" He said with a wink, not knowing that that was, in fact, her grace.

Name: Prince Alexander Gender: Male Age: 17 Description: Alex's sharp features take after his father, but his blue eyes are similar to one of his mother's eyes. He has wavy, effortlessly windswept dark brown hair and a charming smile. He inherited some of his parents' attractiveness, though that only makes it easier for him to get away with trouble. He has a slim figure and stands at 5'10, with a sprinkling of freckles over his face. His skin is fair, but not as light as Cassandra's, more closely resembling his father's. Personality: Growing up as royalty, Alexander was taught about the importance of holding power over others. As a result, he's strategic, clever, and cold towards those beneath him, especially the castle's gracelings. He gets enjoyment from messing with people and showing off his power. He knows exactly how to get away with breaking rules and how to place the blame on others. Alex often talks back to his father, but grudgingly respects him. He sees his mother as weak and much too nice. Job/Position: Prince Other: SN: bog lord

Alejo opened the door to see Hava standing there. "Have you found a place for the girl to sleep?" Alejo spoke a tad faster than he usually did as he wanted to get outside as soon as possible. He felt as though he was about to burst. He desperately desired to use his grace.

Hava nodded, "Yes. She is welcome to stay with me. We have an extra bed in the medic room, and I promise she will be well looked after." She said with a serious face. "Unless you have made other arangements..."
