IC Ezra stayed mostly quiet as he watched Mathew move around and tidy up before he showed him the clothes that the prince was supposed to wear. Now Ezra had definitely found himself in ridiculous clothing in his lifetime before, but he was not wearing that. It was basically a dark blue, golden trimmed, flow tunic with slightly puffed out sleeves, black pants and boots, as well as gold bracers and a cape. Nope, he wasn't wearing it. "Find something else," he ordered and Mathew looked like a fine mixture of annoyed and trying really hard not to be annoyed.
"Sire, You have to wear this today, you're supposed to meet with your betrothed-"
"My what?"
"...Your betrothed, the lady you have been betrothed to practically since birth, sire surely you remember..."
Ezra shook his head and hopped out of the bed. "Listen Mathew, I don't know what's going on, or where I am, or what happened, but I'm not wearing that, and I'm not wearing some girl. Okay?" He asked and Mathew honestly looked very tired of the prince. Ezra glanced from him to the door before making a split second decision to run for it so he could be alone and figure everything out, so he ran for the door, swinging it open and leaving.
He ran pretty fast down the oddly family yet so different halls, in nothing but the weird white robes he was wearing, sad excuse for pajamas, and it was pretty easy to tell he wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings, he quickly cast a glance back to see if Mathew was following-he was, and while he was looking back, he ran right into someone else, crashing right into the other man.
-
Xavier had honestly been very bored before and then suddenly some teary eyed guy was staring up at him and the guard wasn't sure what to make of it. "Oh, I'm sorry for that, perhaps you could tell me what it was called and I could point out directions?" He suggested, as that was all he really could do, since he had to stand guard and all. He personally would have preferred it if he was a patrolling guard, or a knight, but no, instead he was a standing guard. In the usual armor, helmet resting on the floor since he refused to put it on.

{{ Alex hit the floor with a slight thud, catching himself with his hands just in time to stop from sprawling completely out. Which wasn't enough to stop him from scrapping his hands, though. What in the world-----he looked up to the find the prince, Ezra, standing over him. ...In his pajamas... Alex blushed deeply and averted his eyes as he stood back up. He gave the prince a polite bow, all without looking at him. How rude it would be to stare when the prince was dressed so immodestly! "I, um... Forgive me, prince Ezra, I did not see you," he quickly apologized, glancing up for just a moment. "Are you alright, your highness? Did I hurt you?" This was the most he'd ever spoken to the prince-----they'd never even said hello to each other before. The prince was a very attractive man, he had to admit to himself, but of course he would never say that out loud. That was wrong and...and... Men didn't find men attractive. Especially men they had no chances with.
~~~~~~~~~
Lou did cry then, even more than before, as Xavier offered to give him directions. He sniffled and hugged himself, looking exactlt like a poor, distraught peasant for sure. "Oh, you are too kind," he sobbed quietly and shook his head. "I cannot face my employer as I am. I was on my way to buy myself new clothes." He pulled at his filthy shirt with a look of sadness. "When an awful man made off with my money. Every coin. I've been saving up for months..." }}

IC As soon as he realized who he had run into, he wanted to cry out in joy, however Ezra held back, mostly because he was beginning to notice something as Alex, it was definitely Alex, got up and started to talk, averting his gaze. He...didn't recognize him. He looked down, away from him. "No, I am fine. D...Do I know you?" He asked in a way that could have suggested he did if you knew him, hoping that maybe Alex did recognize him, and would catch on. Mathew was fast approaching and his servant didn't look happy, not at all. Ezra would deal with him later.
-
Xavier knew he wasn't supposed to help the peasants, they needed to fend for themselves. However, how could he not take pity on this guy. "I suppose I could perhaps give you some of my money, how much did you have before?" He asked, moving to collect his pouch of coins from his side. He could spare some for this guy, he was likely new to the kingdom anyways, going by the accent.

{{ Alex tilted his head the same way he always did, blinking at Ezra. "Of course I know you," he said, but before Ezra could have time to celebrate, he added, "You're the prince. Everyone knows you." Then, realizing that he was speaking so casually eith the crowned prince of Vloskia and he hadn't answered Ezra's question yet, he quickly corrected himself. "But ah, no-----I do not believe you know me. I'm just Dr. Salita's apprentice, no one important." He kept his head lowered, although he kind of wanted to grin. Him, insignificant Alexander Rosenberg, was talking to the prince! He couldn't believe it!
~~~~~~~~~~~
This was the key. Lou couldn't give him too high of number, but he didn't want to go too low, either. Wiping at his cheeks, he sniffled, "Only fifty copper and ten silver coins." He held up his hands, though, in obvious protest. "But I could never take your hard earned money from you, sir. It's wasted on a lowly man such as myself." Oh, please, he thought to himself. He was more than just this, just a peasant, though of course he couldn't tell Xavier that. }}

IC "Of course..." He said, suddenly feeling a lot less like running away, mostly because he didn't feel he truly had the energy for it at the time. He stood there in silence for a moment before opening his mouth to speak again, only to get interrupted by Mathew, who had finally made it over to them.
"Your highness...please come back to your room and get dressed...you're indecent," he explained through gritted teeth and Ezra nodded, starting to follow him back when he turned back around and looked over at Alex. "Don't ever think you are not important, you are a lot more important than you realize," he told him sincerely, smiling at him for a second before he turned back to follow Mathew back to his room.
-
Oh, well it could be a lot more... "Right, here you go, and please, I insist, I am certain you would find better uses for the money than I would," Xavier told him as he pulled the money out of the pouch, transferring it to a smaller pouch and held it out for the peasant to take, hoping he wouldn't refuse, because then Xavier would have to insist and it would end in this cycle that he really did not want to get into at the time.

》So sorry for not being active, I've been super busy.《
{{ Alex blinked at that, watching as the prince left to head back to his room. Prince Ezra wanted him to...remember that he was important? Why would the prince think he was important at all? It made very little sense, considering that before today, the prince had never even acknowledged his existence. Stunned and a little flustered, Alex found his way to his mentor's room. The doctor, a short man with brown hair, snapped at him in a loud voice, "You are late, Alexander. Did I take you in so that you could sleep in late every single morning?" Alex murmured a polite "no, sir" as the doctor shoved a small bundle of odd medicines into his hands. "I must attend to the guards wounded in yesterday's little accident. Give the prince this and hurry back. His mother told me that he's looking too pale." Alex didn't get a chance to speak before the doctor shoved him out of the room. With a sigh, he made his way back to the prince's room and knocked quietly on the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lou accepted the money without much more argument and pocketed it. He gave Xavier a very grateful smile, his front teeth chipped noticeably. "Thank you for your help, sir," he said quietly. "You are much too kind to a peasant like me. I would like to...return your kindness? Have you ever had your fortune told?" }}

OOC It's alright.
IC Ezra had ordered Mathew out as soon as he attempted to help him get dressed. Ezra had been dressing himself for years and he still intended to. Though...all his clothes were like that blue one, so nothing he exactly wanted to wear. However he ended up getting on the one held out for him and was mostly just trying to flatten the sleeves when someone knocked on the door. Now Ezra still looked mostly the same as he always had. His hair was a bit longer, like how it had been before Alex trimmed it, and admittedly, Ezra did have slightly more muscle to him than he originally had, though not much, especially not enough to be seen as a difference unless you were him and knew, but otherwise he looked the same as he had before. He looked at the door for a few moments before calling out to whoever it might've been. "Come in!" He said, focusing on the sleeves a bit more.
-
Xavier looked at him curiously. "You can tell my fortune? Alright then, I guess I am curious, perhaps I do something great in my future," Xavier thought out loud, sliding off his glove from his hand as he looked at the peasant. "I am Xavier, by the way," he added since if has occurred to the guard that he hadn't exactly introduced himself properly yet. He was excited though, to have his fortune told.

{{ Alex stepped into the prince's room rather hesitantly, opening the door in a slow, cautious manner. It felt wrong to be entering the prince's private chambers, even if he sd been ordered to. Not to mention, he couldn't stop thinking about what Ezra had told him just minutes ago. That he was important. The thought made him blush as he quietly walked in. "Er, hello, your majesty," he greeted again, keeping his gaze on his feet politely. He was itching to look up, though-----he didn't like staring at the ground. "Um. I was, uh...sent to give you your vitamins. My mentor is busy. Sorry for the inconvenience." He held out the small bundle to Ezra, he face growing redder. "I apologize for any trouble I may have caused you."
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Xavier," Lou repeated, tilting his head a little. He stared at Xavier, studying his face, his hair, his body build. He seemed...familiar, almost, though not exactly. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. "Lovely name," he added sincerely, his eyes a little wide as he looked up at him. Lou was still himself, all curly black hair and big brown eyes and bronze skin. He still had his chubby cheeks and all his little scars, too, though the tattoos were gone. Now that he was looking at Xavier so closely and so intently, Lou was almost mesmerized. At last, he said quietly, "You may call me Lou. Come, give me your hand and I shall tell you your fortune." }}

IC Vitamins...right okay, he could probably use some of those. Ezra gently took the medicine from him and placed it down, smiling over at Alex. "Thank you, and no, don't worry, you're far from am inconvenience. I actually enjoy y-company, being alone hasn't ever been one of my favorite things," he explained. Figuring that he shouldn't specify that he liked Alex's company when Alex didn't seem to remember him in this weird messed up medieval world.
-
Xavier smiled eagerly and instantly struck out his hand. "Lou? That's also quite a nice name," he told him, glancing down at his hand and then back to Lou rather repeatedly for awhile. He was hoping for some grand adventure in his future, something worthy to be told again and again in tales, though of course...he was just a castle standing guard, the chances of him having any amazing, important adventures were about as likely to happen as it was for him to meet the king face to face and dine with the royal family.

{{ Alex blinked at that. He'd never thought of the prince as being...lonely before. He had always imagined the prince as being busy, with as many people as they wanted around them. Then again, when he thought back on it, he realized he'd never seen the prince hang out with any friends. Or laugh or have much dun. It was kind of sad, to be honest, and it made him frown. "Well... If you'd like, your highness, I wouldn't mind keeping you company," he offered, though he had no idea why Ezra would accept his offer. Alex had a very sudden, strange thought, and stared at Ezra oddly. "Have we... No, I'm sorry. Never mind."
~~~~~~~~~~
Lou took his hand and held it firmly between his own. It was bigger than his own, rougher and more callused from living the demanding life of a guard. Even standing guards had to train hard. For a long moment, he just held his hand, thinking, before he finally spoke. "Your life is going to take an exciting turn soon. There's adventure in your future-----a great quest to fix something that had been broken. And there's royalty, the king and queen and prince-----and..." he said, then he frowned. Suddenly, he jerked his hands away. After a moment, he tucked his hands under his armpits, shivering. Something felt very wrong. "I... See you becoming a great hero," he said at last, only partially lying. Lou looked sad now, hugging himself, shaking a little. }}

IC Ezra seemed to freeze when he started to ask the last question, hopes rising, and then plummeting very fast. So instead he chose to focus on the first suggestion and gave Alex a warm smile. "I think I would rather enjoy your company," he told him. Fully prepared to blow off whichever princely responsibilities he had today to spend time with Alex, he was still trying to figure everything out, and trying to figure out how he could get home...but, maybe he should try to enlist Alex's help on the matter as well.
-
Xavier listened intently, this had been exactly what he had been hoping to hear, that he would be of some great service to the kingdom, to help it and be a hero. It was all anyone could ask for really. "That's incredible, and you got all that just from my hand?..." he asked before beginning to trail off upon noticing that Lou seemed a little...upset if he was to guess. "Are you alright?"

{{ Alex had a nagging thought at the back of his mind, one that wouldn't leave him alone. Giving Ezra a tiny smile, he looked st the prince carefully. Ezra was truly a beautiful prince, with his wild red curls and pale skin and freckles. He was so beautiful that Alex... Well, Alex couldn't help but stare. "Ah, but you must meet with your betrothed today," he said quietly, hiding his disappointment behind a smile. "She'll be quite angry if I keep you from her. And she's never liked me much to begin with..." Blushing, Alex recalled when he'd bumped into her in the hallway once and she had yelled at him for five minutes straight. She'd humiliated him in front of all the nearby maids and guards.
~~~~~~~~
"...You can learn quite a bit from someone's hands," Lou answered, shaking his head at Xavier's question. No, Lou couldn't do this. He didn't know why, but he couldn't take Xavier's money. Couldn't trick him. It felt too wrong, somehow. Handing Xavier his coin pouch back, Lou took a few steps back. "Forgive me. I am... I lied to you. I cannot... Goodbye, Xavier." Lou turned on his heel to run, to flee from the castle. He hadn't been smart, though. Hadn't paid enough attention to the other members of the castle. "Hey, stop! You there, guard, catch that thief!" One of the royal bakers shouted as Lou began to run. }}

IC Ezra still didn't even know which his betrothed was. So he waved that notion off. "If I'm being perfectly honest with you, I don't really like her either," he explained, going off of what he gathered from what Mathew and Alex had said about her. Then a bit more quietly, he added: "Though I can't really say I like any woman, especially not like that," he glanced back at Alex. Things would be far easier if he could confide in him, but well, how did someone even begin to explain that they were from a modern future, where they were in a relationship with that person, and he didn't know anything that was going on.
-
Xavier frowned when Lou had up and left, giving him his money back. He didn't even really process it until he was being shouted at to go after him. "Wha-oh, right, of course," he said and dropped the stuff in his hands before starting off after Lou. He was a standing guard, this was not his job, yet here he was, though there was a part of him that really didn't actually want to catch the thief in this case.

{{ Alex blinked, having to take a moment to process that. Ezra didn't like...his betrothed...or any woman in that way... Which must have meant... No, it couldn't mean what he was thinking of. Could it? Standing there, blushing and awkwardly looking at Ezra, he smiled. "I, uh, don't like any woman in that way, either," he admitted. It was risky to tell anyone that, considering he could be executed for it. But... For some reason, he felt safe with Ezra. "But of course, I can't tell my own betrothed that," he added unhappily. "She's a sweet girl. She deserves someone better, I think."
~~~~~~~~~
Lou didn't want to run, but he also didn't want to be here. He didn't remember why he'd came here in the first place. Why he needed to be here, specifically. And Xavier was...

IC Ezra smiled at him. He had a feeling his wasn't a sweet girl, just an assumption. "Really?" He questioned trying to act surprised. "I...I didn't know there were any others like me, here," he explained, meaning gay...in this time, when it was certainly far more taboo than it was in his day and even then...Point being he figured this was a good chance to sort of bond in a way. Ezra would personally have preferred to stay locked away in his room until he figured everything out, anyways.
-
Xavier caught up to him fairly quickly. "A thief huh?" He asked once he had reached him. Great now he would have to bring him in and then he would likely be thrown in a cell...and that wasn't sitting well with the guard. "I would never have known," he remarked, looking down at Lou, a flash of disappointment crossing his face. Too bad, it was such a waste of good looks. Which was something Xavier did not make a habit of telling people.

He would sound insane, and since he had already dismissed the idea of this being a dream, that would not be good.

"We're very close, met some time ago, I had ran away from home," he replied, hoping that would cover it then since he wasn't sure how many details to share yet and how many to hold back on.

Though I am curious to know what you stole, too bad you can not seem to remember," he said as he sat down by the stream, taking off a gloved hand to test the water slightly.

He continued to play with some of his curls as he answered. "We have. I think what you're remembering is this ride we went on, called the tunnel of love...it was the first time that we...that we kissed," Ezra explained squeakily, face turning red as he kept his gaze firmly on the ground.

Xavier really hadn't expected that, like...at all. He didn't even really realize what had happened, and he actually found himself kissing back for a few seconds before reality came crashing back down on him and he pushed himself away, staring wide eyed at Lou. "What was that?" He asked, startled, heat rising to his cheeks. He just, kissed him. Just like that. First he needed money, then he was telling him his fortune, then saying he was a thief, and now kissing him? Xavier had no idea what to expect at this point.

IC Ezra giggled lightly at all the questions, looking up at Alex, face still very red. "Well, no, we weren't betrothed and we didn't love each other yet, but before we ended up here, we were in love. In the tunnel, you kissed me mostly, I think because the speaker was pressuring you. I didn't really understand what was going on, not until before you kissed me. The tunnel of love is a ride where two people float down a small body of water in a tunnel and they usually kiss while in there," he added, well at least Alex didn't think he was crazy.

Xavier shook his head. "N...no, we have never met until today, and we couldn't have been together, it's impossible..." he said, mostly trying to tell himself that more so than to tell Lou. Because it had felt familiar, but it shouldn't-couldn't, it wasn't possible. He hadn't even seen this man before in his life, even if he did somehow look familiar, as if he should know him...no, no don't think like that Xavier. You do not know him.

{{ Alex couldn't stop himself from grinning, just a little bit proud of himself. The prince loved him! Well, the other him. They were technically the same person, he just wasn't...exactly the same Alex. At least, he didn't think he was. He didn't remember any of the same things or any of the things they'd been through. In fact, just the thought of hugging Ezra made him blush uncontrollably. But they'd loved each other. Deep down, he knew he still loved Ezra. His grin faded a little, though. "I wish I remembered," he said quietly, looking at him. "I...feel like I should love you. Like I do love you. But I don't remember anything. Is that... Is that odd?"
~~~~~~~~~~
"No, I know you. I know I do," Lou protested stubbornly. Despite how Xavier denied it, he was sure that they must know each other. Somehow, some way, they knew each other. He'd seen himself while telling Xavier his fortune, had seen them both together. In each other's arms and so happy and... The thought made Lou's chest ache in a mixture of sadness and disappointment. He let go of Xavier's shirt, stepping back and away. "Perhaps I am mistaken... I-----I am sorry. Forgive me." He seemed to be apologizing quite a bit, more so than he would have normally. }}

IC "I...don't know. I don't know why I remember and you don't, I don't know why we're here but we have been trapped here together," Ezra said, beginning to wonder if anyone else was also trapped here. Maybe Lou? Kuro? Even Xavier? Or was it just them? Ezra sighed and moved a bit closer to Alex, smiling at him. "I don't know everything, but I do know that I would like to help you get your memories back," he told him determinedly.
-
Xavier stared at him for a few seconds as if debating something before he just shook his head and out looked away, eyes staring down at the slowly moving water. "It's fine, everyone makes mistakes," he said, casting a small glance back to him. Lou did seem familiar, but Xavier didn't want to admit it. There was no possible way that he knew him and much less that they were together.

{{ Alex hesitated for a moment, before he timidly pulled Ezra into a light hug. He was blushing, because he couldn't believe he was actually hugging prince Ezra of all people, but he felt like he should. After all, they had been...dating. They'd loved each other. They still loved each other, he supposed. It was all so confusing that it made his head spin. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, there was a frantic knocking at the door. "Mr. Rosenberg, you're needed in the infirmary! There's been a skirmish at the western border. We've wounded men who need to be tended to." Alex pulled away reluctantly and glanced at the door. At least he remembered what his job at the castle was.
~~~~~~~~
Lou felt a little awkward now. At least, he would feel more awkward if he actually cared what other people thought about him. Even in this weird medieval society, Lou didn't care what anyone thought about him. He stood there in silence for a moment, biting his thumb, before he blinked. Searching in one of his pockets, he pulled out a glittering gold necklace, adorned with multiple jewels. Sapphires and rubies and emeralds and diamonds. "Oh. I suppose this is what I stole," he mumbled, his eyebrows furrowed. His head hurt from thinking so much, but it was slowly coming back to him. It was like his memory was fading in and out, yet he didn't remember anything at all about his actual life. Except Xavier. "Though I have no intentions of giving it back. The royal family can make do without a single, measly piece of jewelry. Besides..."
Just then, there was a loud, masculine voice that called, "Lou! Captain Lou!" It was then that a man, a huge man that was well over six foot ten and probably the most muscular person Lou had ever seen in his life, came running out of the forest. His arms were thrown wide open, his face set in an expression of worry and relief. He grabbed Lou, hugging him tightly and practically crying. "I was so worried about you!" }}

IC The hug felt amazing. Ezra could have stayed like that forever, but then someone had to go and knock. He let out a small sigh and pushed back to look at the door and then to Alex, nodding to him as if to let him know he should go. "...Meet me when you're done, at...at the stables, please?" He asked, looking at Alex with big, rather hopeful eyes. Maybe there was one place the same about everything here, he wanted to check and he wanted to spend more time with Alex, even though he was sure he probably had princely duties to take care of.
-
Xavier could only stare at this giant of a man. He wasn't used to feeling in-masculine, yet this guy sort of made him feel like that. However it was that first part that truly caught him off guard. "Captain Lou?" He repeated, raising his brow as he looked to Lou, trying his best to ignore the giant, as he was determined to call him. No man could be that large. He had to be part giant, that was the only thing that made sense.

{{ How could Alex say no to those big, hopeful eyes? Not that he wanted to in the first place. With a small smile, he gave Ezra another quick hug. "Of course. I shall be there the second I finish," he promised, before turning and heading to the door. He met the guard there, who glared at him as Alex made his way hurriedly down the closest staircase. The guard eyed prince Ezra a little strangely. "Your highness, your betrothed is waiting for you in the library."
~~~~~~~~~
The giant of a man was hugging Lou so tightly that he could barely breathe. He wheezed out an irritated, "Unhand me, Dorian!" Dorian frowned, but quickly placed Lou back on his feet. Dorian was dressed not like a peasant, but like a sailor, a large broadsword strapped to his hip. Looking back to Xavier, Lou narrowed his eyes. Xavier was making him feel strange-----he was certain that he knew him. He just didn't know how. "Yes. Captain Lou," Lou told him with a slight glare. "Captain of the ship Ironside." The Ironside was an infamous pirate crew, one that was feared by anyone and everyone who lived near the sea. He had no issue telling Xavier who he was; he wasn't afraid of the king and queen or their guards. }}
