Keegan jumped at the noise, entire body seeming to bristle as he whirled around, eyes wide when he recognized the kingdoms crown prince. They'd spoken before, only once or twice when his father had visited this kingdom or vice Versa. The young man highly doubted that he remembered their previous encounters, they had been over four years ago, he was a different person now, barely recognizable save for the green eyes that were a trademark of noblemen and royals from his country, but even then. It would be better if he didn't know, considering his brother had framed him for his parents murder and cast him out of his kingdom.
He studied the man, taking in the quiet princes features before giving a small nod. He still said nothing, fearing his own voice still, wondering if he'd recognize his stutter. Not only that, but he was a bit rusty with speaking this kingdoms language before remembering he had to bow, so he did so. He didn't respond to the questions, although his stomach growled loudly at the mention of food, but he kept a firm distance away from the prince. (That's so early D: it's only ten here.)

"No shield then. Perhaps some light armor?" Thoren joked, taking the broken sword and throwing it into the forge to melt it down, and reuse it at some point. "And of course You are welcome Princess, my purpose is to serve your best interests after all." He grinned at her, trying to get the stupid blush in his face to go down, he had felt it, so he knew it was there obviously. Try as he might, he was not very good at masking his real feelings. That seemed to be even more the case when it came to Victoria, probably because he knew more about her then the rest of her siblings, and they were relatively close. It wasn't really beneficial for him to sit and think about this though, even if he had a bit of a crush, she was The Princess, and he was definitely no prince. "Also, Kiddo seems to be a rather unbefitting term. I am not so young as that." he chuckled "You are a year younger than me, therefore you will always be a kiddo in my eyes," she announced, smirking lightly at the blush that lit across the boys features. She'd be lying if she said she didn't feel that same attraction, but if he ever wanted to make a move that'd be on him. She never had much care for ranks, something that drove her father insane but she couldn't help what she didn't care for. She tried to rub some soot off of her hands, sighing when she realized that she'd have to clean this off somehow before she was seen around the castle. It'd be a pain to get the soot out of her hair. (Ughhh this was short I apologize profusely )

Taking Princess Rebecca's hand, Payton started walking around the giant castle to see if she could find one of her siblings. "We're going to see if we can find someone," she told her. Payton had to make sure her steps were short because she was so much bigger than the little princess. "You got pretty high there. You're a very good climber," Payton told Rebby quietly. "You're definitely going to have to teach me how you do it." Tibet stayed by Rebecca's side the entire time, and for some reason, Payton felt a bit of jealousy. She never had that and would probably never have it because people were too afraid of her. She wondered who she would run into first. She'd never gotten close with the princes and princesses because she always felt afraid to get close to anyone. This little girl needed help and she would have to find someone fast so Rebecca wouldn't feel the pain of the scrape and Payton herself could set her rib back in place. [Fixed it!]

(Hey, I am back! I am gonna add a new character right quick, (if its okay, he will be Gabriel's twin) and then I will get to work on replies )
Artemis Rosencratz | 20 (if twins aren't allowed, 19) | Biologically Male|Solstice Appearance: Artemis, much like their twin, Gabriel is a very androgynous figure, the two share a similar facial structure and build, but that is where the similarities end. Artemis has a relatively pale complexion, and appears quite frail. (They are often the first to catch illness among the royal children) unlike most of their siblings, Artemis has black hair, that hangs almost to their hips, with just enough wave to it that it is not straight, but not enough to really be considered wavy either. Artemis's hair falls into his face, just enough to fall into his dark sapphire blue eyes. most often it will be parted to one side. Personality: Artemis, being as frail as they are, is not duly outgoing, and is rather soft spoken and quiet. Arte's sense of adventure is going to a ball or a galla, or braving the sunlight to go out into the garden. He would rather be indoors in the library studying languages and learning calligraphic lettering. Arte also has a refined sense of beauty and loves the arts in all forms. Artemis is rather emotion driven, as Gabriel is, and is very empathetic, He is just much quieter and less out going than his brother. He is also fairly laid back and calm, though it appears to be more aloof and cold in comparison to Gabriel's warm and inviting aura. Most of this is because Arte is not good at expressing the feelings he feels, and is so quiet and withdrawn he appears to be icy and cold. He isn't though...you just have to know how to read him. Other: Artemis is Gender Neutral and uses the royal "we" to refer to them-self. Though in public he will generally use male pronouns, and "Prince" as that is biologically correct. Artemis also owns two pet Ravens, one of which is named Mortem, the other (an albino one ) named Vitae. Like Gabriel his enjoys music and plays violin and harp. He speaks latin fairly well, and is a secret Poet.

Rebby clung onto the woman tightly, moving her hand from the bigger one and wrapping both arms around the ladies arm. She found comfort in it, even if she just met the lady something told her she could trust Payton and she followed her willingly. She could hear Tibets careful pawsteps, realizing that he was walking ahead of them, so it seemed that he trusted the lady too. She smiled a little at the comment, happy that someone appreciated her climbing skills. Her older siblings did, sort of. They hovered over her too much, though, and she wanted to prove that she could fend for herself. "It's easy, all you have to do is feel for the holds in the wall. They're just little dips but if you push off hard enough it's easy to climb," she responded, seeming to warm up to the woman just a little bit more. "How far up was I? Was I close to the top?" She asked curiously, suddenly determined to get to the top of that walll. It would be a challenge, walls were hard because the dips he felt he usually weathered and that meant that not all footholds would be reachable and she'd have to be smart about it.

"That logic is faulty Princess. If you didn't know me, I bet you wouldn't think I was younger than you." Thoren chuckled softly and brushed a loose strand of his wavy hair back into his loosely tied ponytail, as he did this he noticed her rubbing the soot around her hands, and took in how sooty she actually was. "I suppose you should remove that soot soon, huh? before anyone nottices or before it stains your skin and hair, Wait here." He disappeared into his back room, and there where some sounds of him rooting around looking for something, eventually he came back, and held out two black wool pads. "Here, I use these kinds of wool to remove the soot from my arms each evening. I have more of them, so you can have these." He grinned "They always worked well for me, and I just use water, so I am sure the royal bath will work just fine in getting the soot off.

"You have a baby face, so I'd think that you were younger than me," she informed him with a small smirk. Maybe that was just her perception, though, because she was always around him. Her eyes brightened at the sight of the scrubs, grateful that she'd be able to get the soot off for the most part, so she wouldn't look too suspicious while she was getting to the royal baths. Wait. She had to use water, which meant that she still needed to sneak back to the royal baths without anyone noticing her. "Thanks, I knew you'd be useful today," she teased, taking the wool pads from him, playing with the material carefully. She was running ideas through her mind, knowing she needed to figure out how to get back how. If her father knew that she was walking around head to toe in soot he'd not be very pleased. "Do you have any ideas on how I could get to the royal baths? I can't have anyone seeing me like this, or Fatherd have my head," she laughed, looking at him again.

Thoren's chuckled softly, deciding to let her win that argument. "I suppose you have a point. Oh well, I'll take looking younger over looking older any day." He tilted his head to the side as he thought, regarding the new problem. "I am afraid your on your own for that problem." He shrugged sheepishly. "I have never been that deep inside the castle. I was never given a tour. However, I do have a cloak you could borrow if that helps at all?"

Elric felt he recognised something about this man. Something about his eyes. But he couldn't quite put his finger on where they had met before - or if they had met before.
But he wasn't about to ask because this man's stomach was rumbling and Elric took that as a request for him to take him to get some food.
"Come on, then," Elric smiled "I'll take you to the kitchens to get some food. Follow me,"
He led the way trough the palace, running a hand through his honey- toned hair. He would help the people Victoria helped on her raids when he could, but he still felt like this was a little dangerous. Probably illegal. But, then again, Elric knew that helping this man mattered a little more than the risk of getting caught.
_______
"Great, let's head over there, then" Elisa replied with a smile.
They headed through the palace until they reached Gabriel's chambers, at which point they entered inside so that Elisa could light the fires and Gabriel could get his flute and whatever else he might want to take with him in the gardens.
Elisa was very quick and efficient at coaxing flames out the fires, partly because it was her favourite part of the job. She enjoyed lighting the fires and feeling the warmth it instantly brought to the castle. Once she was done she stood up, brushing any ash or soot off her dress to keep it clean.

Keegan hesitated for a moment, the distrust was clear in the young mans eyes. His eyes turned like hardened emeralds, clearly debating on whether he could trust the prince or not. Logic told him that he could- his reputation spoke for himself, but Itd been so long since someone had shown him even such a simple act of kindness like giving him food.
His hunger got the best of him quickly, and so he rose onto his feet and followed the prince. He still stayed quiet, his shoulders hunched over anxiously as he stayed a good three strides behind the quiet prince. He was terrified of what would happen if he discovered his true identity. No doubt he'd be cast off, or worse, sent back to his master. He stopped at that thought, shuddering before realizing the man was still walking and he scurried to catch up with him, tripping every now and then in the too-large robes.

Tori asked, eyes wide and it was clear she was shocked at that. Why hadn't he explored himself? She knew that she would have if she'd been left in the middle of a strange place. "Well, why don't you come with? I could give you the grand tour?" She suggested with a small smirk, taking the cloak gratefully and putting it on. The cloak was too big on her, plenty of cloth was dragging but at least it hid the spot.

Elric was aware that the other man was staying behind him, but after slowing down slightly and seeing that this man did the same, it was clear that this was by hs choice and there wasn't much Elric could do.
After a short walk, they reached the kitchens, where there were already delicious smells, see mingling with savoury. A cook had her back to Elric but had clearly heard somebody approaching behind her.
"Princess Rebecca, the food isn't ready yet. Tibet can't have any,"
"It isn't Rebby," Elric said with a chuckle.
This prompted the cook to turn around and let out a surprised but happy sound.
"Prince Elric! It's been a while since you paid a visit. What can I help you with,"
"Just Elric is fine," Elric replied with a chuckle "but as it happens, I need some spare food, if you have any. It's for him"
Elric made a nod of his head towards Keegan.
"Oh, of course, Elric. I might have a little something"
The cook bustled off into another part of the kitchen before returning with a plate with various pastries and other snacks on it.
"The meal isn't ready yet," the cook said apologetically "but this should tide him over until the food is ready."

Keegan was surprised when he noticed the princes efforts to walk with him. He still was being stubborn, too anxious to walk alongside him so he slowed whenever the prince slowed. The walk to the kitchen felt too long, his entire body was aching and it was practically begging him to just collapse at this point. But he kept walking, nor even taking in the scents of the kitchen until they made it there and he froze.
The aroma of that heavenly place had him practically on his knees. Everything just smelt so good, and he duly realized that he could actually eat. He listened to the prince speak with the cook, amused that the woman thought of her to be his little sister, although he didn't know who Tibet was. He almost smiled at the nickname- he'd accidentally gave it to her on his first visit, unable to pronounce her name, just learning this language and he ended up saying Rebby and needless to say the princess wouldn't respond to anything else after that. But that was a story only a few people knew, the royal family included of course.
The former slave jumped slightly, staring at the plate with eyes as wide as saucers. He glanced at the cook before snatching it, all but stuffing the pastries at his mouth, not taking the time to even taste them. He just needed food in his stomach, and he needed it now. He finished the plate, before realizing how rude he must have been and he ducked away from the two, expecting a strike as he muttered a "Th-th-ank y-ou," the words coming out on a voice rough from misuse, the foreign words strange on his tongue, his accent making the words light and lilting despite the roughness in his voice, and he looked startled. This was the first the spoke in two years, and it was because of a small bit of food? He needed to be more careful.

Mentioning Rebby had brought something back when Elric looked at the former slave again. The green eyes, the accent and the stutter further confirmed how Elric remembered this young man. But he wouldn't let on he knew quite yet - he didn't want to make a scene.
The cook gave a smile, clearly not fazed by the ravenous Keegan's hunger. That was good because Elric didn't want to have to explain too much.
After the cook had responded to Keegan's thanks, Elric led the way back out of the kitchen, waiting until they were in the hallways again before he spoke to the other male, not wanting to say anything in front of too many people.
"You know, Rebby still loves that nickname. It's all she responds to," Elric said, an indirect hint that he knew who Keegan was. He hadn't asked him directly because he wasn't certain it was him and he just wanted to test the waters and check it was really him. If this was indeed the young man he had met at that gathering so long ago, he was very interested to find out what had happened since. What could happen to make someone fall from such high status to such a low one.

Keegan relaxed the moment that the cook seemed unfazed by his hunger, happy that it hadn't been a response of anger, although he was now unsure of how to respond to her in kind. He was relieved when she left, his tiny stomach now filled as he glanced shyly at the crown prince, following him quietly through the halls, rubbing his soot stained arms anxiously.
He glanced over at him as he began to speak, blood turning to ice at the commen. He froze in place, whatever color he had in his features left and he genuinely looked terrified. He tried to get a read on the man, but he knew Elric to keep his emotions under raps. For all Keegan knew he was broiling with rage, that his brother had spread his lies to the kingdoms allies, and that Elric believed that he had actually committed Patricide. He said nothing, only began to back away, trying to find a way out before the man had a chance to throw him back to his brother- or worse- his master. He didn't care at this point if it was rude, he bolted, although his weak and battered body made it so he wasn't able to run far, and he almost wanted to laugh-'the former crown prince of D'ra reduced to this?

"So it is you..." Elric murmured at the look on Keegan's face.
But the young man looked terrified, and Elric quickly tried to calm the other man down.
"Hey, it's okay. I'm not- I'm not going to do anything. I'm just surprised. For God's sake, don't freak out on me. I'm not good at calming people down and the fewer people who find out about this the better."
He had no idea what had happened to Keegan. The former Crown Prince of D'ra had disappeared without a trace. There had been whispers of rumours, though Elric didn't believe them for a second, even if he couldn't yet prove that they weren't true.
When the two had met at that party, they had mutually bonded over what they had in common; the burdens that came with being Crown Prince. The expectations and the duties and the constantly looking over your shoulder in case someone wanted a leg up in the race to the throne. It turned out that Keegan had fallen victim to that. Or, at least Elric thought so. Elric had always thought that it was Keegan's brother who benefitted from the murder of their father and the disappearance of Keegan.

Keegan froze at that, body trembling lightly from exhersion- both physical and mental. He processed the words slowly, it being more difficult in his panicked state to transition from language to language and it made translating difficult. He watched him with wild eyes, as if he were still waiting for something bad to happen.
"Y-y-you w-won't t-tell him?" He blurted out, the sentence difficult to formulate properly. In all honestly he hated this kingdoms language, they placed their tongues in different places and to him it just sounded more guttural. Not only that but his stutter sounded worse when he spoke in it, and it didn't help how anxious he was, either. He wasn't sure if he even gave an intelligable response, and not sure whether he was referencing his younger brother or Master when he said "him." He just needed that reassurance.

Realising the trouble Keegan was having with translating, Elric decided to switch to his language. He was a little rusty and hadn't used it much, but he had taught himself it so he could speak with other kingdoms when he became king. If he became king.
Elric furrowed his brows slightly as he took a few seconds to figure out the response, running the sentences through his brain as he tried to translate what he wanted to say. This speaking other languages thing was harder than it had seemed when he was learning it himself.
"No, nobody has to know. For the record, I don't believe you killed your father. I just...uh...can't prove it?" Elric replied with a sigh, running his hands through his hair again, a habit of his that sometimes left his hair standing up on end if he was particularly stressed that day.

Thoren shook his head no, and shrugged slightly "There was no reason for me to go further than the main hallway, I suppose" He answered her "When I present a new weapon, or piece I usually just do that, they get accepted and I leave. Since I don't live in the castle, it seems weird that I would go poking around in someone else's home." he added then smiled when she invited him along. "I suppose it would be rude of me to decline an offer from you, so I would be glad to accompany you to the castle." Thoren smiled at her. Before they could leave, he removed his fire resistant apron and gloves. He wouldn't need them to go into the castle, which he was glad of, being that they were quite heavy, over the years he'd gotten used to it, since it was a nessecary thing, working with molten metals and around fire forges could be very dangerous. If anything, the burnned scars around his chest an neck could attest to the dangers of smithing. Luckily for Thoren and his skin, most of those burn marks were very old, most from his first few years. He hardly ever got burnt anymore and it attested to how much he had progressed since his earlier years. "Well Princess, shall we go?"

"Great, let's head over there, then" Elisa replied with a smile. They headed through the palace until they reached Gabriel's chambers, at which point they entered inside so that Elisa could light the fires and Gabriel could get his flute and whatever else he might want to take with him in the gardens. Elisa was very quick and efficient at coaxing flames out the fires, partly because it was her favourite part of the job. She enjoyed lighting the fires and feeling the warmth it instantly brought to the castle. Once she was done she stood up, brushing any ash or soot off her dress to keep it clean. Gabriel smiled, and walked back with her to his room in silence. Though he was silent, it was pretty obvious that he was enjoying her company, being that he couldn't stop smiling. It was a real smile, rather than the one he passively had plastered in place most days. It seemed to do the trick around his siblings, setting them at ease. He was sure however that if Elisa were around everyday, she would have noticed the difference between the real and fake smiles. It wasn't as if Gabriel were truly unhappy most days, but he definitely was not a happy or relaxed as he appeared to be most days. He took out his flute, and gently ran his fingers along the delicate silver instrument, it was engraved along the sides with floral patterns along with his delicately calligraphed name. He remembered the day he'd received it, it had actually been a gift from his mother, which may have been why he cherished it so. She had given him the flute, and Artemis the harp. He recalled fondly that both of them had spent countless hours practicing their instruments, just so they could play for her in unison. Gabriel saddened a bit a swallowed, they had played the day of her Death as well...though it had been in secret and after the official funeral, he played much scarcely since then. But thinking of his twin, he tilted his head and looked at Elisa. "Have you seen Artemis yet today? He looked paler than usual at dinner last night. I wonder if he is even up yet."

[Hmm...I like that Gabriel appears to be quite the wildcard here. Elric might need to watch out for him XD]
Elisa had noticed the smiles, and how different they were from the smiles he smiled in the portraits of him. The only times his smiles had been genuine in those portraits seemed to be in the ones before his mother died. The death of the Queen had had quite the effect on her children. Most notably Elric, of course, who had gained a sense of seriousness and responsibility. But then Gabriel and Artemis had both been affected very heavily by their mother's death.
Elisa knew it must have been terribly hard for a young Gabriel to be trying to comfort his twin - Elisa didn't think there was any way Elric could have comforted Artemis better than his twin - all while trying to figure out why Elric was so serious all of the sudden, why he didn't want to play with them anymore. Of course Elric's reaction was unsurprising for the oldest sibling - of course he would hate dealing with feelings since he didn't feel he could voice his own lest he upset his siblings and of course he would feel a sense of responsibility to care for his siblings - but that didn't mean that Gabriel would have understood that at the time.
The young maid was brought back to the present by Gabriel's question, to which she shook her head.
"I can't say I have," Elisa replied "I hope he's okay."

Keegan stared, surprised to hear his native tongue roll off another's tongue m. It'd been four years since he'd heard it, and that truly caught him off guard. He relaxed slightly, taking a few hesitant steps towards the prince, keeping his eye cut slightly down out of respect, what he'd been forced to do while stripped of his title.
"Y-your the first t-to b-believe that," he croaked, remembering their conversations of having to constantly look over their shoulders, how dangerous being the crown prince could be. It pained him, that he'd actually let his guard down. The month leading up to his fathers murder his brother was starting to be kind to him, and Keegan was foolish enough to let his guard down. He actually thought that Duncan had wanted a genuine relationship with him, so he allowed the man in his life, allowed him to get closer to him than he should have. That trust bit him in the butt and he swore to never trust like that again, that it'd be him against the world.

Tori grinnned, happy that the man had conceded to walking with her. It was odd, she never really realized that Thoren didn't live at the palace. Of course she knew that tidbit of information but it never really processed in her brain. She didn't realize it meant that he'd never really toured the palace, didn't know where some of the import things were. Well, she was determined to change that! She wrapped her arm around his in a typical "lady like" fashion, knowing that she had to put on a show for the rest of the castle, because although they knew of her slightly rough disposition they still believed she acted like a proper princess so she decided to indulge them on that belief. "Today I'll just show you to the baths, but I'll show you a little more every day," she responded happily.

"Hey, it's okay to look at me. I know you haven't been a royal for a long time, but... Anyway, I'm definitely not the only person. While, yes, a lot of people do believe your brother, there is definitely a percentage of the more perceptive of us who smell something fishy there. But what I want to know is, why did you let your guard down? Believe me, I have more than a few siblings who would be capable of getting me out of the picture. I love them, but when it comes down to it I can't really trust them."
Victoria and Gabriel, most certainly. Both very skilled with swords and both definite wildcards. Victoria had a clear disregard for any rules that didn't suit her, making her unpredictable. And Gabriel... always seemed somehow unsettled. Elric couldn't put his finger on it, though. But there was definitely something. The only one who wasn't a true threat to him was Rebby, but dammit even she had a dog she could set on him or something.

(I am glad you like him xD )
Gabriel sighed softly. "We should probably check on Arte, just in case. If they are sick again, I wouldn't want it to go unnoticed. Then we can go to the gardens. If hes not sick maybe I can convince the maiden of the night to join us even." He joked, calling Artemis by his name sake's likeness. Artemis being the goddess of the moon in myth. He had actually laughed when he'd read that, and matched it up with his brother. It was a very fitting name indeed. The royal was known for rarely venturing out in the day as it were. Then there were his looks, Gabriel would never say it out loud of course, but he found Artemis's good looks to rival his own, but in a completely different way. His dark eyes and midnight hair just worked so perfect with his paler complexion.
Artemis, contrary to the current belief, was actually feeling quite well today, he'd felt worse the night before but he was sure that was just due to his current streak of solidity. He'd been up and moving around for most of the previous day, which had taken it out of him. Currently, he was sitting in his bed which was surrounded by candles, reading as he absently stroked Mortem's black feathers. His eyes scanned the book pages, taking in the Latin narrative quickly. "Beautiful" he sighed softly "pure majesty in ink."
________ Thoren, being the gentleman he was took her arm gently to walk with her. "Well then I suppose I shall have something to look forward too in the coming days." he smiled. "Besides that, now we have an excuse if anyone sees you covered in soot. After all you've been spending time with me, we'll just have to make up a reason why you were at my shop this morning." he chuckled, more than willing to help her protect her Princess-ly image around the others, though they both knew that was a sham. He'd figured it out quite quickly with how well she had taken to sword training. As if she were already familiar with the weapon before he'd even started to spar with the royal children. Sure he could be punished for with holding information if it were asked of him by other members of the royal family. He felt certain he could play it off as none of his business if he was asked of her activities, though he was quick enough to come up with plausible stories as well.
(if she is Robin hood, he could totally be her Little John XD)

[You never know, man. It's the little kids you have to watch out for XD Also, I hope I'm right in saying two years, correct me if I'm wrong]
In response to the prince's unwillingness to discuss his betrayal, Elric gave a small nod. The other male didn't want to speak in the open.
"Come on, I'll tell you about it on the way." Elric replied "We can go to the library to talk. I'm really the only one who goes in there most of the time anyway. Apart from Artemis, but I haven't seen him yet today." Elric replied as he began to walk.
"So, it's been about two years, if I remember correctly," Elric said after a moment, keeping his voice quiet "I took quite an interest in the case. Wanted to prove you innocent. Because I knew you couldn't do a thing like that and because admittedly quite enjoyed trying to piece together the evidence. As you've probably guessed, I haven't gotten very far. There's very little evidence"
