Kenna thanked the king, then turned to leave. But right as she turned, her eye caught sight of a handsome young man who had just entered the courtroom. "I'm sorry, I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making your aquaintence," The charming brunette said with a smile. "I am Lady Kenna," She said, once again curtsying, but looking up at the man through her dark lashes.

Tristan nodded thoughfully. "Alright. When would you like me to start working with her?" He asked, before risking a glance back at Efos and Hava. When he saw Hava was listening to them, rather than healing Efos, he gave her a disapproving frown.

When Hava made eye contact with Tristan, she blushed, embarrassed to have been caught both eavesdropping, and not healing. She turned back to Efos and continued the process.

Efos gave a little wave when Tristan turned around, also sporting a blush. Geez, what had gotten in to her today? Propping herself on her elbows, the girl who didn't feel pain was growing inpatient. "Hava, can I go now?" She asked, turning to looking out the door. She wanted to see what was so special about the new Graceling that she needed to be trained straight away. She also wanted to provide some kindness to the girl, as she was perhaps scared. But really, she just wanted to observe Tristan.

This wasn't a good idea, though, as Efos could tell her body was exhausted. She couldn't feel the strain in her muscles, or the soreness from all the new bruises, but she was covered in sweat from the healing process. Chestnut locks of hair stuck to her forehead and cheek. Was this a hard process for those being healed? She wondered if it hurt to have your ribs fused back together by a gift from above.

When Jackson caught sight of that booty Kenna he immediately straightened up and ran a hand through his hair, making an effort to look at least slightly decent. “Prince Jackson.” He said, dipping into a bow. He smirked. “Would you like me to show you to your quarters… Lady Kenna?”

Sorry it’s shirt I’m trying to watch a movie lol)

(it's all good! what movie?)

Kenna's eyebrows rose at the word, "prince". That made the man even more appealing."That would be lovely," She said, walking over towards him. "Thank you, Prince Jackson." Before they left, Kenna looked back over her shoulder to make sure the King was alright with her leaving. Almon nodded, and gestured with his hands that she could leave, accompanied by his son.

("His eyes filled with something" I'm crying real tears)

Efos returned the gaze, trying desperately to figure out what emotion he was trying to display. His face was hard like stone, and he clearly was unhappy to be in the presence of the senior guardsmen, and yet there was something kind in her eyes. She was determined to find out what it was. Turning back to the healer, Efos began her signature arguing. "Oh, no, Hava, really I'm okay." She began to push herself up, angry that her arms were shaking. She couldn't feel the pain, but her body still reacted as though she did. It was so frustrating sometimes! "Please, let me get out of your way and rest in my quarters." Efos pleaded, her lip jutting out so slightly in the way that made it impossible for her mother to say no to her. "I promise I'll rest."

Alejo looked at Rivi and asked "How far away were you able to get?" He was curious how much progress she made. He assumed it wouldn't be much since he had been gone for only a few minutes.

It’s called the cave or something, I think it’s kinda old, like early 2000s? Idk. It’s kinda scary)

As they left the room, Jackson turned his head to look at her. “How long are you here for?” He asked, putting on a charming smile. “Long enough for me to get to know you better?”

"I need you to demonstrate for us how far you got. Go back to where you think you were standing and attempt to hit the target again." Alejo spoke in a softer tone than usual. He did afterall have to make her trust him.

Efos' heart felt full and warm. Hava was so great. Despite always meeting her under bad conditions, Efos really did enjoy the younger girls company; she was so much wiser beyond her years. There was no doubt in her mind that the special healer was one if the kindest people on this earth and would go far in this world. Adjusting the blanket so it was up to her nose, Efos felt like she was a child again, being tucked in by her mother. The nostalgic thought paired with the warm feeling in her chest made it harder to fight the wave of exhaustion. Her eyes closing, Efos made her final demand. "Get some rest too, okay?" The words were slurred and the request was soft, but the kindness and sincerity was there as the guard drifted off to sleep, her breathing deep.

Kenna’s got her priorities sorted)

“Rich, huh? Sounds reasonable.” Jackson grinned, noticing the way she looked at him. “Any other… categories he needs to fit in to?” He knew he probably shouldn’t be flirting this early in her visit, but what else would he do? It was most of the fun he had around here.

Hava smiled as the girl fell asleep. Healing her had taken a lot of energy, and she was feeling pretty tired herself. Maybe I can take a tiny nap...Just for a few minutes. She thought, laying her head down on her desk. Within seconds, she was asleep.

Tristan crossed his arms as he studied the young girl. "With her power, she would be better suited for combat from afar, but in the even that her fire fails her, she needs to know how to fight in close quarters." He advised. "I think her abilities would be wasted as a guard, but she could be useful on the battlefield. Not now, of course, but once she is older." He hated to suggest that the girl be made into a warrior, but it was the best fit in his eyes.

Kenna shrugged, clutching her hands in front of her, "Well, rich is the only qualifier for my parents...I however, would love to find someone with additional...assets." She said with a smirk on her face. "So, what sorts of things does a prince do around here?" She asked curious to get to know him better.

(hahaha this is so fun I love playing flirty characters)

"Alright. So is that when you would like me to begin working with her?" He asked. Meanwhile, Rivi just stood there, looking back and forth between the two men as they talked like she wasn't there.

Tristan nodded and turned to go back to the infirmary. Then, he remembered that he had left his shirt in the armory and headed there first so he could retrieve it. Once he was fully clothed (lol) he made his way back to the medic room, and found both Hava and Efos asleep. He smiled and quietly pulled one of the chairs up to Efos's bed. He decided he would sit here till she woke up.

Rivi nodded at Alejo's. "I'm starving!" The little girl exclaimed. Deciding that she liked Alejo better today, she went up and grabbed his hand with her small fingers so they could go eat together.

"In all honesty, not much." Jackson admitted. "It's pretty boring at times. Most of the time I just walk around the castle, since there's no-one to do anything with." He lifted the corner of his mouth in a half smiling, half flirtatiously smirking expression. "I'm hoping that'll change now that you're here."

Me too)
