Plot- King(Queen)/Guard (You're Guard) Plot #1- Your guy is the King's personal bodyguard and childhood friend. He is the one that came up with the idea of calling the King his ‘Queen’ after the prince tried on a dress in private. Not knowing that his best friend had been watching. The two have feelings for each other but the council does not approve of him and insist on the 'Queen' marrying another ruler. Can your guy convince the King to ignore the council's will? King Rainerius- Name: King Rainerius of Wirara Age: 24 Gender: Male Species/Racial Origin: Human Appearance/Description: Rainerius stands tall and nimble, many call him feminine. But do not mistake that for him being weak, he a skilled sword fighter and even better archer. His skin is a light almost golden sort of tan, no matter how long he stands in the sun or out of it. His body is lined with scars from childhood and war. The worst being a burn mark overtaking half his face, causing those who do not know him to be intimidated by him. Luckily, he prefers to keep his raven black hair long and it tends to fall in front of the scar when he isn’t wearing it back. The long strands of hair frame a thin face and startling topaz blue eyes, that seem to see straight into your soul and to your darkest secrets. Personality/Attitude: Stern, but can be soft-spoken. Attentive and yet can get easily distracted by anything he considers cute. So babies of human or animal race for instance. Rainerius is very rarely ever seen angry, truly angry. As king he must always be in a calm state of mind, to think things through and make hard decisions. Family/Friends/Pets/Etc: A young sister (Reena) who is one of the palace Healers. A large black panther named, Thanos. Skills/Talents: Skilled with the sword, but prefers the longbow. Hobbies/Interests: Stargazing, writing, archery, animals. Other: N/A

Rainerius stood gracefully from the Grand Throne as the Council agreed to end this meeting, with a pleased and polite smile he nodded to them. “I thank you all for coming here and sharing your thoughts with me. As always I was think over them accordingly and return to you as soon as I can,” he spoke loud and clear, doing his hardest to not show his discomfort or the anger he felt towards them at this very moment. Receiving satisfied acknowledgements, he then stood patiently as they one by one came up to him praise him and also assure him that the Council’s will was for the best. After which they all left the throne room, chattering amongst each other. As the last one of them swept through the closing doors, Rainerius eyes hardened and his smile melted away.
Sighing audibly, he sat back down on his throne closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths. He had to stay calm, he knew this was going to come up. Maybe not this soon, but it was whether he wanted it to or not. “For the good of the Kingdom,” he murmured tiredly. That's what they said was the reason, but he knew it was because they wanted more control over him. The Council still saw him as naive, even though he took the throne at 16 and has ruled it well. The land and people are happy and have prospered, now it was time to pull him in apparently. Rainerius slim fingers tapped against the arms of his chair and he shifted uncomfortably. He really should get up and change if possible, what he was wearing may suit a King, but was heavy and hot.

Augustin was just outside the throne room leaning against the walls and waiting for the meeting to be over so he could be with the king once again. He kept himself occupied by flipping one of the daggers on his person back in forth in his hands, so he wasn’t just standing there doing nothing. He would have liked to be in the room with them, but the council didn’t want him in there so he wasn’t allowed. Whatever they were saying in there now was probably going to be repeated to him later by the king, so it really didn’t matter if he was in there or not. That didn’t stop him from trying to listen in though, but he couldn’t hear anything coherent except for mumbling with the door to the throne room being so thick. Guess he would just have to wait it out.
He perked up slightly and sheathed his dagger when the throne room door started to open with a loud creak. He watched as the Council members made their way out one by one, some of them gave him a few looks, but he didn’t pay much attention to them. Once the last council member was out he made his way inside. He opened the door and shut it behind him without much ceremony before he started to make his way over to the throne where the king was sitting.
Augustin bowed slightly when he was before the king on the throne. “Looking as radiant as ever, my Queen.” Augustin said in a slightly joking manner with a grin on his face. He had yet to use the nickname today and he had to get it in when he had the chance. Although the grin on his face quickly subsided when he saw that the king was not in the greatest of moods at the moment. “What did they say to you today that has you all upset?” he asked him. It wasn’t uncommon for these meetings to upset the king in this way, but there was always the question of ‘what was it this time?’

Rainerius didn't even notice his friend enter, much less approach him until he spoke. Jumping, his head snapped in the voice's direction and he grimaced. He needed to be more careful, to be caught off guard like that was far too dangerous, even if he had trusted guards like Augustin. Giving his oldest friend a strained smile, he spoke reluctantly, "I certainly don't feel radiant, Augustin." Shaking his head, he straightened in his chair and clasped his hands together on his lap, lips pursed. "Today... Well, today they decided to be subtle was not working and outright demanded I marry. That is host a ball and invite all of who they chose and marry one of them, then have them be my puppetmaster for all eternity!" By the end of his speech, he was snarling in disgust. Sitting back heavily, he closed his eyes and pinched his nose. "I can't say no anymore either. They are right about one thing and it is that the border allies are restless and a marriage to one of them would calm things."
Opening his eyes, he glanced at the guard and gave him a slight smirk. "Well, least you would have someone on your side to boss me around," he drawled, his blue eyes faintly mischievous. Standing, he silently motioned for his friend to follow him before sweeping down the steps and out of the throne room. He needed air, fresh air, and the royal gardens was the perfect place to go when he was upset.

(Here is a reply, sorry it took so long, I have had no time lately)
Ah, marriage. The thing that his queen has been avoiding for quite some time. The ball would probably be a bit more entertaining if its intentions weren't to force a spouse onto the king. He couldn't even imagine the king to be married, he worked much better by himself. Although, the council is right in saying their border allies were restless. Even he knew that much. He guessed marriage would calm things down, but was that really the right answer? In the back of his mind he did not like the sound of this ball.
He smiled slightly when a bit of Rainerius' bad mood melted away and he started to joke about the situation at hand. "It would be nice to have someone on my side occasionally. Maybe then you'd listen to me more often." Augustin responded with a smile and started to follow his queen through the castle.

As they exited the palace and entered the quiet gardens, Rainerius relaxed his body more and he knelt in front of some rose bushes, examining them. "Hmm, you'd certainly have someone on our side. Whether or not they'd get me to listen to you though... That is very doubtful," he mused, tone light. Gently he plucked a flower and stood, twirling it in his fingers. Such beautiful things, flowers. The queen always found them fascinating. Humming to himself, he turned facing the guard and stepped forward. "Now, don't move your head too much," he cautioned, before slipping the flower behind his friend's ear. Stepping back he eyed it for a moment before nodding in satisfaction. "There, perfect."

(Life has been pretty good, thanks for asking what about yourself?) Augustin followed his queen out to the gardens and was happy to see that he was finally relaxing and becoming himself again. He stood beside Rainerius as he examined the flowers and took a look around the garden himself. He smiled slightly at his words and glanced over at him. “Well, that’s a shame, I say some pretty remarkable things that are worth listening to.” He joked with a smile and noticed that the queen had a flower in his hand. He turned to him slightly as he stepped toward him, but didn’t move from his spot. He raised an eyebrow slightly at his orders but shrugged it off and did as he was told and kept his head still. He blinked as the flower was placed behind his ear and he smiled fondly at Rainerius after he did the action. “Perfect you say? Maybe I should wear flowers more often.”

(Pretty well here too. Getting ready for school and stuff.)
Rainerius eyes twinkled softly and he nodded, encouragingly. "Yes, I believe you should. Maybe I'll make a flower crown for you while we are out here," he said, half teasing and half serious. He had to say that he did quite enjoy 'dressing' his friend up. The queen loved seeing the warm look and relaxed posture that he had during these outings. Well, as relaxed as he could get being Rainerius guard and all. Placing his focus once more upon the flower bushes he plucked a few more and began to weave them together, murmuring what he was doing as he did so, "Up... down... through... up... down... through..." Trailing off, he finished ad held the crown up with a triumphant smile on his soft pink lips. Carefully placing it aside, Rainerius plucked a few more flowers and weaved them swiftly, not that his fingers were used to the motions.
Standing, he held a flower crown in both hands. Approaching Augustin, the queen placed a crown of red, white, and yellow flowers upon his head. Taking the other crown of blue, green, and white flowers he placed it on his own head.

(same here, I go back on Tuesday)
“Ah, I flower crown would be lovely,” Augustin said to him with a smile. He was glad that Rainerius could still have fun and enjoy himself even after the news that he had heard earlier today. He would let his queen put as many flowers on him as he liked as long as it made him happy.
He let his eyes sweep over the garden once more as Rainerius started his work on the flower crown. When Rainerius stopped saying his steps out loud he looked over to his queen and watched him as he continued with his task. He took a moment to take in Rainerius’s features. Taking in things like how his long hair fell into his face, or how focused his eyes were on the task in front of him, or how his hands were delicate with their motions despite how fast he was going. When Rainerius smiled his eyes traveled back up to his face and to his lips. He really was beautiful…
What was he thinking? Augustin realized he was staring and he quickly looked away and looked back to the rest of the garden. He only looked back to Rainerius when he stood up from his spot on the ground with the two finished flower crowns in hand. He smiled at his queen as he approached and he bowed his head slightly so that he could put the flower crown on his head. He raised his head back up and looked to Rainerius with a grin on his face. “Now that I got a crown, does that make me royalty?” He asked jokingly.

(Excited? I start end of January.)
Rainerius was no fool, he could feel the familiar pair of eyes upon him quite often. More often than his guard needed too, yet he did not confront him because he did not understand why. He also feared whatever the answer may be. So he kept his observation to himself, filing it away with the many other random snippets of information that he had stored away.
Returning his focus on the man in front of him, smiling and wearing the crown without the slightest bit of grumbling, the king couldn’t help but think of how handsome he was. From his messy hair to the scars that showed his bravery. While Rainerius, of course, noticed how August was handsome, it astounded him that he did not truly see exactly how handsome he was. His eyes and smile were entrancing and he knew he could go all day just staring into them.
Jerking out of his daze, he stepped back and cleared his throat, a ting of pink touching his cheeks as his topaz eyes darted away from the source of his flustered state. “Eh… Erm, royalty? Oh yes, you definitely are royal now,” he kidded with a slightly strained smile.
Turning away from Augustin he walked a few paces away, trying to clear his head and calm his beating heart. ‘Stop this foolishness, Rainerius. He is your best-friend and bodyguard, that is all. That is all he will ever be and you know it!’ A nagging voice snapped at him, causing his eyes to turn sorrowful and him to bit his lower lip uncertainty.

(Yeah a little since it’s a new semester and all, but I’ve been enjoying being on break it’s going to hard to get back into a rhythm for school)
Augustin didn’t know what Rainerius was thinking but something must have happened in the few moments after he said his words when the queen was looking at him. He wouldn’t have become flustered out of the blue over nothing. What possibly could have caused something like this, he had no idea. He has been friends with Rainerius for a long time and he knew him well, but it wasn’t always easy to figure out what he was thinking.
The response to his joking remark wasn’t exactly the one that he was looking for and he watched as Rainerius took a few steps away from. His grin faded slightly. With the way the queen was acting there must be something wrong. “Is everything alright?” Augustin asked as he took a step forward, a slight hint of concern in his voice. “We can head back inside if you aren’t feeling well.” He suggested.

Rainerius head snapped towards August and he quickly shook his head. "No, I am fine. I was just thinking of something kinda... sad, I guess. Forget it," he spoke to assure his friend. The last thing he wanted was to head back already. No, he wanted to just relax and be around Agustin with rules and restrictions.
Turning so his back to was to his guard and friend, he moved farther along. 'Relax, Rainerius. You are making August upset.' He thought, with mild annoyance at himself. Glancing back at the guard he smiled softly. "We should go on a picnic sometime. We haven't done so in such a long while."
(I took this last year off, so I am not looking forward to getting back into things. XD)

(Well at least you are getting back into things, some people take break years and then don’t go back so. Also, I have not been neglecting this rp. School has been keeping me busy and I haven't had time to reply to anything.)
August nodded slowly at Rainerius' explanation for how he was feeling. He didn't entirely believe him but, the king knew himself best. So if he said he was fine then he would take his word for it. He wasn't really one to pry, if the king wanted to tell him something then he would if he didn't Gus wouldn't ask questions.
He followed Rainerius as he moved further into the garden, and he smiled slightly as the king moved on to a lighter topic. "You're right, we haven't." He agreed with a nod. "Well, if we should go for a picnic, where would you like to go?" He asked him.

Rainerius hummed thoughtfully, tapping his chin. Topaz eyes moved towards the nearby forest and beyond. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips and he nodded, more to himself than his friend. "The mountains. We could go to the gem cave we found as children," he murmured, a wistful glint in his eyes. "Yes, it has the most perfect view of the land." Facing August he grinned widely. "How does that sound?" he asked, wanting his friends' input as well. (I can't imagine never going back to school. Least not without extremely good reason. Oh, no problem. Take all the time you need. )

(I had a friend that took a gap year that feels the same way and was super excited to get back to school this winter. Also, thank you for the patience on these replies ^^ )
Augustin continued to walk with the prince with his hands behind his back and waited patiently for his response on where they should go. “Ah yes, the mountains.” He said with a nod and he took a glance over to where they stood in the distance. He could faintly remember the adventure they took to the gem cave as children. It certainly was a beautiful spot if he was remembering correctly. He smiled back at Rainerius when he turned to him with a grin. A picnic in the mountains sounded amazing, but… “That sounds like a wonderful idea, but that spot is kind of a far. Right? Are you up for traveling that far?”
