"Not really. I've done this since I was 13 so I've learned to deal with it." Kai said as she stopped kneading the dough before looking at her. "I'm glad the muffin was to your liking. Chocolate is not my favorite but I know some people do which is why I make chocolate pastries and quite a few." This girl was a graceling like him but it didn't mean she probably wasn't working for the king so he had to keep his mental barriers up and on guard so no mind intrusions would happen.

The girl studied Kai onec again, taking in his words. So his baking was similar to her writing, it was something that he loved and was passioniate for. "That's really cool that you can bake." She telepathed to him. "I can't really make too much without singeing it to bits." Her eyes widened when he mentioned that chocolate wasn't his favorite flavor. "To each his own be darned, this is heresy! Chocolate is the best thing ever discovered." She stated indignantly, placing her hands on her lips.

Kai shrugged when she applauded his baking skills. "It just comes naturally though rather it comes easiest plus it helps me hide." He said as he looked at the breads and baked goods, this was his way to hide from being found, sure his eyes were so similar in color but if someone looked just right they could see the difference so being here was his escape. "Chocolate is okay but not my favorite. My favorite is strawberry."

The joy seemed to seep off of Mirai's face as he mentioned hiding. She had been taken as a child and forced to work for the king, but that didn't mean that she actually liked it. She hated that the king used her kind as a type of soldier or servant. She desreved to be free to live her life the way that she wanted. Still though, she didn't really have much of a choice. "It is unfortunate, the way our kind has to live." She brushed off the melancholy feelings and said. "Strawberry is really good too." She admitted, still defensive over her chocolate muffin. "What other hobbies do you have besides baking?"

Kai had felt a twinge of sorrow for this girl. He'd realized with the way she was speaking and how she talked about the way their kind has to live that she works for the king. "I'm so sorry he got you." He whispered as he looked around the bakery, empty good. "If you want I can help you escape but it'll be hard. Also I'm Kai by the way. We never exchanged names so yeah there is mine."

The girl's eyebrows raised up, and she felt an internal flutter of panic. Was she really that obvious? She had always prided herself on being able to hide her identity as a spy, but the baker saw right through her. Maybe it was the people watching practice? Her eyes grew sad at the man- Kai-'s statement, and her shoulders sagged a bit. "It's ok. I was a young girl when it happened. Something terrible happened to my parents, and then I was working for him." She looked at the floor, brows furrowed together. At her suggestion, her head snapped up, heart pounding in her chest like the wings of a a bird. "You would do that? But what about you? I don't want to endanger your hiding place." She paused, then added. "I'm Mirai, by the way."

"I have hidden my entire life tried not to use my grace but I still end up using it anyway. It's only a matter of time before someone finds out about it. I'd be taking you to another kingdom not keeping you here. So if you want to go just tell me your name and get ready cause it will be hard to get there." Kai knew the way to leave would be dangerous, hundreds of guards everywhere a lot of which have graces some useless but some absolutely terrifying but he knew this girl needed help and he was willing to risk it to help her like he'd done for his brother.

Mirai's heart was still pounding, and she lowered the muffin from her lips, stowing it in her pouch as she nodded to him. "My name is Mirai. Thank you for your help. My Grace is Telepathy/Mind reading, so long as the person can't block my mind." She looked around the outside before stepping close to the counter, blocking her face from view. "Thank you for helping me. I'm ready to fight or die." She looked at Kai's, easily able to pick out the heterochromia now. "Will you be able to come here able you help me?" She asked, feeling guilty and nibbling on her bottom lip in worry.

"So long as they don't realize I am the one who freed you then yes I can return. But if they realize it was me then I'll have to go into hiding with you." Kai knew the risks involved with this after freeing his brother and knew once he started helping her there was no going back. "Just get ready and meet me in front of the woods beside the rose gates." Was the last thing he said before closing the bakery and heading home to get ready for the long trip. After finishing he waited by the rose gates his satchel over his shoulder.

The girl nodded and left the bakery, heading to the castle. She took only what she needed and left a few things behind that made it look as if she was only out for the day. The good thing about being the person who scanned thoughts was that no one knew her one. After packing all she held dear and dared to take, she slipped out of the castle and towards the rose gate. By the time she arrived, a light sweat had taken over her, and her nerves were on high. "Hey there." She telepathed.

"Let's go he said." With this he activated his grace and soon his entire body was titanium making him able to withstand any hit at least anything but water and high heat. Rust and melting don't bode well with him. And with his new form he bent the metal bars easily and after Mirai went through he bent them back into place then they were off towards Nander hoping to keep Mirai hidden there so she wouldn't be forced to be a slave anymore.

The girl wathched in amazment as Kai effortlessly bent the bars. His grace was truly amazing, and she felt as if she were watching a real life super hero at work. With a grateful nod, she went through the bars, feeling a little sad . Then again, all that waited for her within the palace grounds was a life of being used anyway. She waved goodbye to the world she had known, and she never looked back.

Kai decided to keep using his grace during this since it hid his facial features making it hard to tell it was him. "You can speak normally if you want now. We are far enough away from the kingdom no one will hear you." He said as he continued walking and everytime he stepped on a stone a clink sound would happen. Metal hitting stone.

Mirai studied her companion's new skin with curiosity, and she reached out to touch his titanium arm. "This is amazing!" She exlaimed mentally with wide eyes. She flinched back, however, at Kai's nest words. "Normal." She thought softly, a sad look falling over her eyes. "I can't speak like that. I've only ever spoken in my mind, so I'm mute." She explained, looking at the ground with cheeks flushed red with shame.

Kai ignored the fact Mirai touched his now titanium arm the skin glistened as the sun hit it like metal normally does. "It is a curse as well if it rains I could rust and be stuck like this forever and if a flame too hot touches me I will start to melt or my joint could get welded together." He hesitated when the girl, Mirai, said she was mute because of always speaking mentally. "That...is unfortunate. Hopefully one day you can find your voice."

(I forgot he was shirtless that whole time omg)
After a few hours, Efos woke up slowly, finding it exceptionally hard to open her eyes. The healing process took a lot out of her body; more than she knew. The girl had never broken bones before, despite how reckless she was. Having moved around in her sleep, the blanket was now tangled around her ankles and her shirt had ridden up to show her tan stomach. Fresh bruises darkened her skin and they would only grow uglier as days passed.
Rubbing sleep from her eyes, Efos looked over, startled to see Tristan in the chairt beside her. How long had he been here? Was he that worried for her? A small, sleepy smile formed on her face. "Alejo didn't kill you," she joked in perhaps an awkward greeting.

Luna skipped giddily into the throne room her smile bright and beautiful. "Hello mother. Hello father. How has your day been so far?" Her personality was kind, caring and happy which she felt everyone should be even her father. Wishful thinking since the king was normally a grump as she called him but she didn't really care. She had a better relationship with her mom than anyone else in the kingdom. ( 𝐸𝓁𝑜𝓆𝓊𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒟𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂𝑒𝓇)

Mirai's face crunched together in a look of horror when he described that fates that could befall him. That was the thing about graces- there was always a curse to go with them. She supposed that it depended on how a person looked at the world and what their gift was though that decided whether it was more one or the other. She smiled sadly at Kai and shook her head. "I doubt it; I wish I could though."

Kai continued along the path the sound of the forest making it sound like a person was following but everytime they turned to look no one was there, this was the most dangerous part, getting Mirai to Nander without problems was impossible but getting her there at all wasn't too hard no matter how far the journey. "You will find your voice one day. Maybe someone will help you find it."

Mirai followed Kai through the twists and turns of the forest. She knew she was crazy for running from the crown, and for trusting a boy she had just met, but she knew that she would be safe. Kai had strong defenses, but she could tell that he meant her no ill will. "I hope so," she thought

Rivi nodded, "I'd like that." The young girl was eager to see Hava and Vetiver again.
(haha ikr? it occurred to me and I was like...hmm he should go put a shirt on xD)
As Efos slept, Tristan watched over her, anxious for her to wake up. His pulse quickened a bit at the sight of her stomach, but he ignored it and instead pushed some tendrils of hair off her face. Even though she looked tired and bruised, he still thought she looked...beautiful. Finally, she began to stir. He laughed at her comment, "Despite common belief, I can handle myself against Alejo." He said with a lopsided smile. "He may outrank me because of his grace, but I have been in the guard longer." He said simply. "How are you feeling?"
When his daughter entered the throne room, the king gave her a nod, "Hello Luna," He said plainly. The queen rose from her seat to greet her daughter. She took Luna's hands in her own, "Hello love! You look beautiful today, as always." She said in her quiet, sweet voice. "Have you met the new lady who just came to court today?" She asked, sure that Luna would enjoy having another noble that was her age in the castle.

Kai was silent for a long time his metal skin seemed to dull as dust landed on it. Dust was the least of his concern as long as it di- before the thought was finished it started raining and before it landed on him he stopped his grace skin soon returning to normal. "I hate rain so much..."
Luna smiled when her mom greeted her. "Thank you mother. You are quite beautiful as well today though you always are." This was true since the queen had the grace of beauty at first it made Luna jealous when she learned of it but after a while of talking with her mom the queen gave her beauty tips so she could be just as beautiful. "No I have not met her. What is her name?"

Efos often forgot just how much older Tristan was. Three years ahead of her, but only one ahead of Alejo. She wondered if he ever got tired of being told what to do by those younger than him. "You didn't have to wait here." She told him, beginning to push herself up onto her elbows with a little groan. All her muscles seemed to be protesting. It didn't hurt, but she knew her muscles were over worked. Realizing what this meant, that he was worried enough to stand by her sleeping form for perhaps hours, she blushed deeply.

The girl froze as she felt a drop of rain splash her nose. She shouted in her mind, "Kai! Watch out!" She tapped his arm and pointed up. She let go of her pent up breath and heaved a sigh when his skin turned back to normal. She sagged against a tree; that was too close for comfort. "Are you okay?"

{ mourningdove, did you see my starter for James?} Michai hushed himself, seeing the king with another person. He tugged at Lola, "Maybe we should just come back later?" The king intimidated him, though he loved him like he was his own father. Attai smiled. "I've been riding since I was four years old." She looked around at Jax's horse. "Your horse is absolutely beautiful! Can I pet her?" Taking a step towards his horse, not waiting for his approval,she let her hand run don the side of the animal. "What a beauty." She breathed, letting her eyes close.
