Alejo stopped at the doorway and replied "Yes, I will. In fact, it will be the first time I attend not as our King's guard but as a guest. Perhaps I will see you there?" He smiled slightly before continuing "I look forward to tonight's feast."

Efos enjoyed hearing his laugh. It was deep and hearty, and sounded like it belonged to someone kind. It wasn't often Gracelings felt secure and happy enough to let out a laugh; determined, she decided she would attempt to make him laugh more, finding it comforting. "I think we'll survive." She joked back, taking something that resembled bread. Picking at it, she looked around the guards' quarters. There were beds lined along the walls, some double stacked to fit more. The beds were all in rotten condition, and the blankets were threadbare. It was the quarters shared by all the Graceling guards, except those with the highest ranks. Efos didn't make the cut, and despite being the only girl, was shoved in with the rest. Thankfully, her fellow guards had given her the lone bed in the corner, obscured by three walls to give her a sense of privacy. It was so kind of them..."Thank you," She spoke, obviously thanking him for more than the food before her.

"That's wonderful! You deserve it to be a guest for once," Hava said with a reassuring smile. "And yes, I will be there." She stated. "It sounds like it will be a wonderful night." She was truly looking forward to it.

Tristan took a bite of an apple then smiled at her, "Of course." He said. "So, were you invited to that feast tonight?" He asked her, curious to see if her rank would have gained her an invite. He himself would be attending, but as a guard, not a guest.

Efos snorted as the question. Covering her mouth as she replied she admitted, "Alejo was invited as a guest. I was invited to help run the guards." Chewing thoughtfully on her piece of bread, she glanced at him. "Do you think there's any chance I could still go?" Taking a sip of the ale, she shook her head, answering her own question. "Oh, that's right, I'm not allowed to leave this room. Well, promise you won't have too much fun without me." She said with a daring wink.

"Yes I heard," Tristan said grimly. Then he gave Efos a sympathetic frown, "I'm going to guess not." He said, putting his hand over hers. "You need rest. And I promise I won't have too much fun without you," He said with a laugh. "Watching a bunch of snotty nobles eat a five course meal and try to remain civil towards one another is not my idea of fun," He joked, rolling his eyes. He would much rather stay here and spend time with Efos.

"Indeed, I will see you then." Saying his farewell Alejo walked out of the medic room and made way for the guards quarters. Out of the individual rooms allocated to the high ranking members of the Guard he had the largest. Despite this his room was relatively empty. He approached a small wardrobe that only contained one outfit of high quality. He had gotten the outfit the previous night in preparation for the feast.

Efos looked down to where his hand was now covering hers and couldn't help but smile softly. Again, he was so gentle. "No? I think it's great fun." She admitted, nibbling at some sort of meat, perhaps venison. "They all end up insulting each other, and it's fun to talk badly with the servers back in the kitchen." During most feasts, Efos was assigned near the back if the hall where the servers walked to and from kitchen. The only saving grace she had during those long nights was the few jokes and annoyed glances she shared with the staff.

Tristan raised his eyebrows, "Is that so? I didn't peg you as the gossiping type. Although I suppose I shouldn't be surprised," He added jokingly, giving her a wink to make sure she knew he was kidding. "So. If you're going to be all cooped up here the next few days, how do you intend to spend your time?" He asked.

(Aww I wish poor Efos could go as a guest  I'll just have her looking super cute when she guards the ball) If Tristan knew his fellow guardsmen at all, then he knew Efos wasn't going to stay in this room the whole week. Shoot, she probably wasn't even going to stay in there the whole night. Perhaps she would sneak her way down to the kitchen and keep the cooks company, maybe even help out a little, as they would no doubt be stressed over the larger than usual guest list. With a secretive smile, Efos shrugged. "We'll see." Taking another sip, she added booty, "Depends on if you're here to keep me company or not." |

"I am a graceling." Lucy said her purple eye and green eye were both equally beautiful as she looked back to the garden her one true escape. "I am the royal gardener. I make sure the garden remains beautiful and bright." She loved this job even if it meant she had to deal with the king every single day. "That's nice... you must be a natural at this." Lilia responded as her gaze swept the garden, "The whole flower is wonderful." She turned back to Lucy and nodded with a bashful smile. "I'm look after all of the animals here, I also make sure they are all healthy. In other words, i guess you could say a healer." Lilia brushed the top of the red squirrel's head gently to comfort the animal. |

(ooh ooh idea! how about later, when Hava comes to check in on her, she makes a deal that if she gets her an invite to the ball, she will spend the rest of her week resting? then she can surprise tristan looking all pretty :3)
Tristan immediately knew from her answer that she wouldn't be obeying Hava's orders on getting some rest. The girl just couldn't stay still! It was kind of cute...He gave a a soft smile, "And I would be happy to keep you company. Of course, I can't stay with you all day, every day," even though he would have liked to, "But I'll come here when I can." He promised.

Alejo looked around his room unsure what to do next. His bed seemed like an alluring place to be. It was of much better quality than most Gracelings but still didn't quite reach the quality of those of the nobles. He decided to turn his attention to a bookshelf that held a number of records of important political treatises. He grabbed one and read it until someone knocked on his door. It was the blacksmith whom he had tasked with creating a new rapier. He thanked the man and set him on his way. Between the clothing and sword he had spent most of the money he had saved from his meager pay.

(YES
I'm also going to bed. Good night!)
"Don't forget about me while I'm locked away in here." Efos joked, settling back into her bed, covering her feet with her thin blanket. It was an almost sudden realisation at how lonely her days of rest were going to be. She would only she the guards when they went to bed, exhausted, and everyone would he no doubt working hard preparing for the ball. Her face fell. Perhaps she would spend all of tomorrow perfecting her act so she could convince Hava of her full, quick recovery.

Tristan shook his head, "That won't be a problem. I could never forget you--you wouldn't let me!" He said with a laugh. "Well hey, I think I need to go get ready for the feast and report to the guard. But I'm sure I'll be back before you know it!" He said as he stood. "Promise me you'll behave yourself?" Then left once she assured him she would.
Before Hava began to get ready for the feast, she went to the guards' quarters to go check on Efos. She peeked her head into the large room before entering to make sure it was alright to enter. It seemed the girl was all alone. The healer made her way to Efos's corner of the chambers. "Hey Efos, I was just coming to check on you. How are you feeling?" She asked the girl as she felt her forehead for fever.

Alejo checked the time and decided he should get ready for the feast and pulled out the outfit he had made and put it on. He was sure that his outfit would draw some strange glances but he was fine with that.

Rork grumbled at the sunlight and sound of his friends voice. "Well, I can." He argued sleepily, pulling the cloak he was using as a blanket tighter around him. Just because James couldn't get some rest didn't mean he had to go around like a sleepless corpse as well. James looked at Rork. "My gosh. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the road today." He rolled over, tucking his hand under his head. The sun was just beginning to rise, and the birds were chirping loudly. There was a fresh layer f dew on the ground, and the air smelled like fresh dirt. This was James favorite time of day, everything was so peaceful. There is little peace in this world of Chaos. James thought to himself. He gently covered himself up with the little blanket again, ,drifting off to a light slumber. |

“Her name is Lady Kenna. She will be staying with us for the next few months,” Cassandra explained. Then she lowered her voice, “She just left with your brother...” She said with a small chuckle. “You may want to go rescue her,” she advised with a wink, “You know how your brother acts around pretty girls.” The queen joked. Tristan shook his head, “I wanted to be here,” he said, his voice filled with traces of guilt. “I should have never gone full strength on you. I lost control, and I’m truly sorry for that.” He whispered, his eyes begging her to forgive him. When she tried to sit up, he put his arm around her back and helped her lead against the wall. “Don’t push yourself too hard.” he advised. “You may not feel the pain your body is in, but you need rest. Otherwise you’ll only extended your healing process.” When the king’s new guest left with the prince, Lola led Michai to the king’s throne. The king smiled, this young graceling was one of his favorites. “Michai! How are you doing today?” the king asked, putting on a rare smile for the boy. Jax laughed as the girl began to pet his horse. “She likes sugar cubes,” he said, pulling a few out of his pocket for Attai to give to his horse. “Would you like to ride her?” he asked. Michai jumped into the kings lap when he saw him smiling down at him. He shook his head dramatically. "I dunno, lifes been pretty rough." He fumbled with his little night gown, blushing. He loved the king and was glad that he didn't have to tamper with his mind to be friends with him. Attai turned to Jax, taking a few sugar cubes out of his hand. She popped one into her own mouth before giving the rest to the horse. "Or I could run home and get one of my horses and meet you back here in about an hour?" She asked, a rebellious look entering her bright eyes. |

"Yes. The garden is my favorite place to be because it reminds me nothing will ever hurt me as long as I bloom with the flowers." Lucy soon lowered her voice to say. "I actually have been practicing it's uses for combat. Not useful really but the pollen that comes with some of the flowers is quite handy for making an enemy sneeze. Though I never liked fighting anyway, it is always handy to know it is an option."

Efos watched Tristan go, waving meekly as his back was turned to her. This was so frustrating! She shouldn't be cooped up in her chambers like a sickly child, she should he donning her armor and ordering around her guards! Beginning to kick the blanket off, Efos feet didn't even touch the ground before Hava entered the room. "I'm fine," she assured her friend, praying she didn't have a fever that would betray her. "Shouldn't you be getting ready? Don't waste that time in here with me." She attempted to coax her friend away.
Rork was awakened as a particularly loud horse drawn cart passed by, the occupants of the cart all talking way too loudly for this early in the morning. Groaning, he propped himself up, feeling some bruises begin to present themselves. Last night at the tavern a hustle had gone wrong, and the Graceling had been forced into a bar fight with an enraged, drunk man. Luckily, Rork was very fast, and the pair had run away from the scene. Looking at his companion, he almost felt bad for waking him, but he was starving. "James," he shook his shoulders, "We need food."

"I don't really like fighting either," Lilia smiled warmly, Lilia definitely wasn't the fighting type, she tended to draw away whenever there was some sort of quarrel. The red squirrel wrenched out of her arms and climbed onto her head and churred to Lilia, causing the young girl to gasp. "I forgot about the feast!" Her eyes widened worriedly.

Hava smiled at the Efos's protest,"Yes, I should, but I told Alejo I would check up on you before I do so. He--and I--are putting you on bed rest for a week. But you need to actually rest during this time." She ordered. But she could tell the girl was unsure about their request. She sighed, then decided she could try to make a deal with the girl. "I'll tell you what. Vetiver was supposed to accompany me tonight, but I don't believe he will be able to come any more. If I let you come in his place, will you promise me you'll spend the rest of the week here? In bed." She offered, hoping the girl would say yes.
Jax nodded in happy agreement. "Sounds like a plan! Maybe we could have a race or something," He joked, a wicked gleam in his eye.
The king frowned at Michai's statement. "Come closer boy." He ordered, then he drew the boy up into his lap. "Has someone been mean to you?" He asked, his voice quiet, but layered with poisonous, unspoken threats to whoever had made one of his favorite gracelings upset.
