(Dime, Wisp and Wisteria are the only herbalists/healers atm and yeah, let's wait for Whalze)
Wisteria laid down on cot, her arm stung and her head was pounding with a headache. Echinacea root won't do much now, it's only mildly effective. Maybe if a Lilipf leaf and Crey flower juices were mixed it'd make a strong enough effect to fully counter the poison. Her mind ran with thoughts, though she knew she wouldn't be able to speak if she tried, she was far to weak at the moment.

Alice knew that she could not move, her breathing still shallow. She kept her eyes open but they did not hide the fear they held. If anyone were to die, it would be Alice first, and then the guard. She heard the voice of someone she had worked with before, and she remembers all the people she has worked with, as each one has unmistakable characteristics about them. It was Cinder. She spoke, despite the fear she had. Her voice sounded strained as she was trying to not let it tremble, "Go Cinder, they'll kill me anyway." She implied the people she works for as 'they'. Alice was not allowed to say the name outloud. Even when she was around her colleagues. However, she came to the conclusion that she won't ever say their name again. She would die either way. One would just happen sooner than the other, but most likely only a day or two apart. Why did her parents have to be part of an organization of assassins? Didn't they care about her in any way, shape, or form? From how she was living life it did not seem like it.

Thanks for saying my name, idiot. Cinder smirked. "I'm not doing this for you Alice. I've got my own bone to pick with this guard now. As for you, little boy, my goal was never to go on and kill the court herbalists, I had my own motives for being there, and I ouldn't let such an opportunity pass with you in such a ripe position." She spoke, her hand gripped a small vile in one of her belt pockets. She tossed it onto the ground, a cloud of thick smoke rising and hiding them. Cinder pulled her blade from his neck and she grabbed Alice's wrist and tugged her hard to get running, pulling her away from the gaurd's sword and hurrying into the forest, weaving around trees. Her small, boy-like figure made it easier for her to get around the bushes and trees with ease, letting go of Alice's wrist as she continued.

Damian and the prince just finished a fencing match, the two court herbalists are in the Medical wing, treating a poison injury and Alice and Cinder are running away from Archer)

Alice followed Cinder as an instinct, one would want to avoid death right? As she was running though, weaving in and out between trees, a thought came to mind. If she was avoiding death, why was she running straight to it? If she leaves, she faces the assassins who will kill her for not completing he truly, if she stays, she will most likely be executed or be beaten until she is an inch from death to get information out of her. Alice was caught in the middle. She stopped, watching as Cinder kept moving through the forests. Cinder won't protect her from the others, she could not care less about Alice. Life was complicated wasn't it? She found herself glued to the spot, like she had suddenly taken root of where she was. Like the trees that surrounded her. She felt as if she was one of them now. Alice had no where to turn. No need to go to. She felt alone, and trapped like a caged animal. Perhaps she could welcome death as a way to get out of the cage.

Cinder stopped ad turned to face Alice. "Alice, come on. If you die, you die, let's go. If you're dreading this mysterious them, then just don't go back. See, this is why I never joined a stupid group like that." She spoke as though she knew what Alice was thinking. Then, without a response, she turned and leaped up, grabbing a low hanging branch and hauling herself up into the trees, making her way swiftly along the branches.

(Sorry! Poofed for food xD. Oh! They are? Okay xD My bad, I'll fix that real quick xD)
Archer couldn't stop the look of confusion. She had different motives? Why were the assassins suddenly attacking now? Who wanted some many people close to the crown dead? However he had no time for a retort as the sudden smoke burst into his vision. He coughed and lunged forward as the girl slipped from his grasp. He grabbed air. Archer stumbled out of the cloud of smoke and watched as the pair disappeared toward the forest. Archer growled and took off after them, he was however much slower in the heavy armor he was required to wear. Archer could only see their far off figures as he gave chase. But suddenly one of them stopped. Archer himself almost stopped in confusion but quickly pushed himself to move faster. If he could just catch one of them.....
Wisp let Wisteria settle herself. She spun around and grabbed the herbs from the servant. Dumping the jars and vale's on another empty cot she ruffled through them "Crey flower....not strong enough but strong" She muttered and snatched at another Jackleberry leaves! They countered poison excellently. They were rare, but Wisp found this situation a good reason to use such a rare plant. Twisting the lid off the jar, she dumped the dried leaves into her hand and then grabbed the Crey flower. She would mix them just to be safe. Wisp crushed the herbs with her hands, seeing no time to do it properly. She added a bit of honey to help it taste better. Honey also helped against infection. Wiping her hand through some of the lotion. She smeared it across the cut and then quickly gave it to Wisteria. "Eat, quickly" She said softly.

Alice did not notice that Cinder had stopped to look at her until she spoke. Her words did not help much, as Alice did not expect them to. She told her however, "Wouldn't someone try to avoid death if they can help it? And it was not my choice to be part of that. I was born into it!" She hissed. Alice did not need life advice from Cinder. Another assassin. All she cared about was her paycheck after doing her job. Alice did not like killing people, she always found herself apologizing to the body either from afar or close depending on the situation. Death never appealed to her, whether she was the one killing or it was someone else. She never thought death was a good thing.
(Sorry for short reply)

Wisteria didn't protest the use of the rare herb and did as the other Herbalist instructed, eating the plants. She stalled them, the honey helping the dry herbs to slip down her throat. She let her eyes close and rested for a moment. She would be better in thirty minutes to an hour if all went well. She shucked in a breath and let it sit there for a few heartbeats before letting it out.

Damian felt the sword collide with his legs and he stumbled to a sitting position. "You've beet me once again. I'm totally off my game today though." He gave a small laugh, pushing himself to his feet. "You're amazing, as always." He praised the Prince. Cedric helped the guard up. "Well when you are the subject to multiple assassination attempts you learn rather quickly."

Damian couldn't help, but let out a small laugh. "You should really take that a bit more seriously, Prince." He spoke as he was helped up by Cedric. He ran a hand through his hair, eyes glinting with a thought. "So, Cedric, when are you going to hold a marriage ball? I'm sure the king and queen are bugging you about getting married, you have reached the age, highness." He was close enough with the Prince where he could tease him like this, and, he was indeed curious.

(Thank you!! ) Amira walked past the area where Damien and Cedric had been sparring, her mind elsewhere as she walked past them, a small frown on her face, a tell-tale sign her mind was completely lost on anyone. Aspen padded next to her, the young greyhounds head held high, he gently nudged the young princess, letting out a happy bark when he saw Cedric. The dog liked the prince, not as much as his master, but he was fairly friendly with her brother. Anyone else, the dog wasn't very friendly at all, usually growling at anyone whom he didn't recognize if they approached the princess.

"There is time for marriage in a few years. I will pick a bride when I am ready." He said happily. "Besides, Neither one of my parents have brought me a lady that I deem interesting. They are all boring political figures. I desire a bride who will keep me in my toes, and not let me become complacent." Cedric was different than most of his family. "Anyways, I find all things political unbearably boring. Do you want to play a game of chess." The Prince did enjoy chess and other games of skill. He waved his sister over. "How are you today Amira?"

"Maybe later, Prince Cedric; looks like your sister is here." Damian replied, gesturing toward the princess. He walked over to her and bowed slightly before looking at her. "Good morning, Princess Amira; you look lovely as always. I hope you have had a splendit time as of late; it has been a while since I've been graced with your presence." He greeted her.

Amira blinked, startled by her brothers greeting. She offered him a grin, waving back, "I'm not too bad," She responded, clasping her hands behind her back, noticing the other boy with him. The girl was quiet, a little shy around others outside of her family, even around Damien. "It's nice to see you to, Damien." She added, offering him a friendly grin, more than most people would get. Aspen left her masters side, attempting to jump up on Cedric, letting out a happy bark once Amira had given him the okay to leave her. "Hey! Aspen, get down!" She scolded, sounding slightly aggravated as she walked up to the two boys.

I have to go for a bit, so I am going to have Cedric leave so y'all can rp) Cedric per the excited dog, "Hello to you too, Aspen." Cedric looked up and sighed, "Sadly, Mom and Dad were expecting me 10 minutes ago, and I must leave, but you two air and talk. I feel as if you two will find each other's company enjoyable." He said taking off

"Goodbye Prince Cedric, safe travels to your destination." Damian said in goodbye to the leaving Prince. The guard walked over and picked up his belt, adjusting it onto his waist, the familiar weight of his sword comforting. He turned back to the Princess, unsure of what to say. He guessed he would just switch to guarding her until the return of Prince Cedric.

She sent a glare over to her brother, knowing that he was fully aware of how shy she was, even around the young guard. She paused, unsure of what to say, he was a kind man, and was good at his job. She tugged at her dress, Aspen sniffing Damien suspiciously with a soft huff before returning to his masters side, giving him a rather airy look for a dog. "So, uh, what have your duties consisted of today?" She asked, still rather uncomfortable with one-on-one discussions.

"I accompanied Prince Cedric in his duties, training and entertainment, prior to your arrival." Damian said simply and, it was just that; the simple truth. He ran a hand through his hair, he'd never talked to the princess much and he knew he couldn't be rude and lax toward her like he did with the Prince. "H-how was your day Princess?" He asked at last, thinking of nothing else to say.

Archer continued to run forward. His training gave him good stamina and he was gaining on the one who had stopped, despite his armor. However he was probably one gaining because...well she had stopped. Her stop had confused Archer further then he thought possible. However he was confused even further when he realized it was the same girl who he'd captured the first time. What was she doing?? Her nervous, uncertain voice echoed in his head. Was she afraid of something? Involuntarily, Archer had slowed in his pursuit as a deep frown creased his face. Then, as if realizing he had slowed, Archer steeled his resolve and jumped into a run once again. He could at least catch one, that would please the King.
Wisp sighed with relief and rocked back on her heels. Wisteria would be okay. She grinned, "Quick thinking Wisp" She said, giving herself a verbal pat on the back since no one else was around. "You were almost a bit to slow" She then scolded herself in a low mumble as she moved backwards. She turned and knelt on the ground, beginning to pick up all the herbs and things she had dropped or shrew about the stone floor.
