I am fine with that, on both account. Do you want to start with Jay or Rye?)
Lulu looked down at Nova and felt the heat that he was giving off. Quickly she picked him up and rested her head on his own to take his temp. Pulling back slightly she said, "Oh sweetie it seems like you have a fever. You need to go to the infirmary so they can look you over."

((I can start with Jay))
Nova didn't fuss when he was picked up by his sister and she checked his temperature. The boy seemed to fuss a little when she said he needed to go to the infirmary. "Don't wanna..." He said softly. Trying to hold close to Lulu. But eventually the triplets' attendant walked over. Offering to take him to the infirmary.
Jay had been talking business with a few more people before a familiar scent tickled his nose. He glanced over to the side entrance and smiled when he saw Valex peaking in and he also detected Rye's scent. "Valex, my son. You're out of bed!" The king said happily, ignoring the glances and murmurs when he said "son". Jay gently waved a hand, urging him to come closer. "Come over here, you too Rye." The king said.

Valex was a bit nervous as he was suddenly called to by his adoptive father. He felt his body stiffen, which caused him to wince in pain from her hurt neck, as all the eyes in the room were on him and Rye. Slowly he made his way to Jay, trying his best to ignore the murmurs from the unhappy people there. Once there he anxiously said, "Sorry to interrupt father."
Lulu chuckled slightly at Nova's not wanting to go to the infirmary. However, when the attendant came over to take her little brother in her steed she lost her joyful mood. Looking down at him she asked, "Do you wanna go with her little brother, or would you rather stay with me?"

Jay watched as Valex walked over and the king just smiled warmly, wrapping his arms around Valex in a gentle hug. "I'm just glad to see you up and walking." He responded gently. "How are you feeling?" He asked, beckoning for another two chairs to be brought up and set with he and Luna.
Nova looked to the attendant, then back to his big sister. It took him a few moments but reluctantly pointed to the attendant. "You said you wanted to find Vawex with them." He said, loosening his grip on his sister's shirt. "I don't wanna stop you." He replied.

Lulu frowned slightly as she once again rested her forehead on his and said, "Oh sweetie you aren't keeping us from doing anything, your health is important." With a slight smile she said, "But if you are sure then I promise to come see you once this is all done."
Valex was slightly stiffened as he was hugged, but quickly loosened up and hugged the man back. After a moment he quietly said, "My neck is still in slight pain, but I have delt with worse so no need to worry yourself."

Nova grinned softly when Lulu said she'd come visit him. "Yeah, come visit!" He said softly, before motioning for the attendant to help him to the infirmary. The attendant gently took The boy and nodded to Lulu before walking away to the infirmary.
Jay nodded softly, eventually letting go of the hug. "That's good to hear." The king said happily, watching as the chairs were brought forward. "Unfortunately your mother and I have some more business to take care of. Would you like to sit here with us for a bit?"

Lulu watched as Nova was taken away and smiled. Turing to her attention to the two remaining younger siblings she asked, "SO are you two ready to go see mama and daddy and tell them the good news." Garnet turned her head to the side as she then asked, "What are you talking about sissy, what is is are good news?" The elder princess just chuckled as she replied, "That you awakened your inner wolf and Hawke learning he can use magic of course."
Valex was about to say something when he yet again felt the cold stares. With a slight whimper he asked, "Do you really think that it is the smart idea father? I would imagine that there are many here that do not wish to see me."

Jay glared at the people gathered who were staring in disapproval at Valex. He looked back to the boy and made sure they were on the same level. "Valex, there are a lot of people who disapprove of me and Luna being this country's rulers. And even more who loathe me, a lowly knight, for having become the king. But, the best way I have to show them I'm not fazed by it is to always be in front of them, speaking proudly and holding my head high." He said gently. "But I leave it up to you, if you want to stay you can. If you'd rather not, that is perfectly okay too." He responded.

Hawke waves goodbye to Nova hoping his brother was feeling better. He turns his attention back to Lulu and nods his head. "Yeah let's go!" Later on, he would sneak some sweets to Nova later on.
Luna smiles softly as she watches Jay and Valex. Despite Jay being king, there were a number of men who were eager for his demise so that they could seize the throne. "People will find ways to hate you. The best you can do is to prove them wrong."

Valex thought for a moment before blushing and saying, "Is it alright if I sit next to mother?" He instantly hated saying that because it made him sound all weak and pathetic, but he did want to stay by her.
Lulu gave a quick nod as she reached out her hands for both her younger siblings to take. Garnet happily took her elder sister's offered hand and looked over to Hawke to see if he was going to do the same.

Jay nodded softly. "Of course, Valex. You may." He responded, having the chair moved to be beside Luna. The king gave Valex one more small hug. "Rye, you can of course stay and with us as well if you'd like." He said before looking at his older stepson.

Valex slowly hugged his adoptive father back while saying, “I am sorry if that sounded rude, I promise I mean no disrespect.” Suddenly one of the nobles let out an annoyed scoff before saying, “Your majesties I feel like you are forgetting why we have all gathered here. Now I believe that we should return to the topic at hand.”

"Thank you but I would like to get back to Diantha." Rye answers with a small bow of his head. He briefly glances at the people gathered before going back the way he came.
Hawke takes hold of her hand. "I'm ready!"

Jay chuckled, gently ruffling Valex's hair before urging him to go take his seat. "Don't worry Valex, I didn't take it that way." He replied before looking back to the crowd. "As you say, we can continue." He responded.
Diantha had started to doze off once Valex and Rye left. Despite still recuperating days later, using all of her magic left her needing a lot of sleep and rest to replenish it.
Rev had been with Sprig in the toddler's room, trying to keep him entertained. Eventually, the fairy leaned down so he was on Sprig's level. "Sprig, should we go find mommy? Maybe she's with Hawke and Garnet and Nova." He suggested.

Valex gave a nod as he sat in the chair next to Luna and looked at the crowd, but quickly changed his gaze to the floor after seeing the many scared and angry looks. The noble sighed as he then said, “Your grace do you truly think it wise for the boy to be here while we discuss what is to be done about him. What if he going into another frenzy like before.”
Lulu smiled as both her younger siblings held her hands. With a smile she started to lead the two while saying, “Alright, let us go see what is going on.”

Jay watched as Valex sat down then he looked back to the noble who decided to speak up yet again. His eyes changed to that of his wolf, piercing and sharp with restrained anger. "Then you better be prepared to prove your loyalty by defending those here in attendance." He responded curtly. "As for what is to be 'done' with Valex, who might I remind you is a prince of this kingdom, you ask?" The king responded, his gaze sweeping over those in attendance. "Nothing. What's done is done. As it has been made painfully clear to you all, there was a tainted dark magic artifact planted on him that someone triggered. It has been removed, and he has been thoroughly checked and cleared by the Elves to have no further artifacts within him." The king added. "We are already in talks with the royal advisors and overseers of each branch of the castle staff, and while we can't apologize enough or bring back the dead, we are doing what we can to compensate those who have lost or injured loved ones, just as we do in times of war." The king concluded.

Luna nods her head to show that she was in agreement. She could tell some of the nobles wanted to say more but decided to keep their mouth shut. She knew this wouldn't be the last time they would have to deal with this. She hoped in time the staff would forgive Valex but that may take years.
Hawke walks in step with Lulu eager to see his parents.
Rye grabs a few things from the kitchen and wraps them up neatly. He walks back until he reaches the infirmary where he sits down in his seat.

The Noble shook his head as he said, "Be that as it may, then who shall be held accountable for the whole ordeal? Who is the one that places the item you speak of inside the boy?" With a sigh he said, "I am not saying this to be rude to either the boy or you your grace. I just want to voice what many of us are fearing. You must understand that none but your family and the elves, who might be are allies, have seen this object."

"The blame should be placed on Valkner! He placed the artifact on Valex knowing full well it would activate." Luns said a hint of venom in her tone.

The noble looked at queen Luna as he said, “Then where is Valkner so he might stand trial for these crimes? And why would he put this item in the boy’s neck, what is their relationship?” All these questions made Valex kind of shrink and felt the threat of tears springing forth. He just wanted all these questions to stop so he could finally move on.

Luna briefly glances at Jay wondering if they should reveal what they know. She considers this for a moment before speaking once more. "Valkner has fled and we are unaware of his whereabouts. As for their relationship know that is was merely one of false promises."

Several of the other nobles in attendance started merger among themselves at the mention of a false promise. The main noble that had been talking then asked, “And what might this promise you speak of be?”This just caused Valex to pale as those fear that he held in finally started to flow.

"Simple the promise to become a powerful mage of course." Luna leans forward in her seat and places his hands together. "He lied and abused poor Valex for his own selfish gains!"

After a moment of silence the noble looked at Valex and saying, "What say you boy, care to explain what this man did to you to you to have him put an object inside your body?" This direct question caught Valex off guard. He rubbed his eyes clean of tears before saying, "I would rather not say." Suddenly the room was struck with a burst of annoyed murmurs and calls for him to talk.

Jay watched as Luna addressed the crowd, his fist clenching and slowly going white as he continued to strangle his growing rage. However, when the noble directed his attention to Valex, the king stood up. Just as all the nobles started murmuring to each other, Jay opened his mouth and let out a loud yell of "ENOUGH!!" came his booming shout, the ringing of a wolf howl accompanying it, causing nearby glassware to shake and give a barely audible resonating ring. The king's eyes, piercing icy blue and pupils narrowed to slits, scanned over the group of nobles, fixating on the one who dared interrogate his wife and adoptive son. "How DARE you interrogate your Queen and our son. We did not want to tell you all about Valker but you forced our hand. He is a member of the highest council in the land, and yet he subjected Valex to the worst possible treatment a child could experience. Every child, especially those who were adopted from orphanages like Valex and my nephew Scover, all dreamt of having a loving family at one point. And Valker stole that from Valex. Torturing him, putting magic objects in him for control and his own greed. He used Valex as a pawn and as a tool, not a son." He said, moving from his throne and descending the stairs from the riser the thrones were on. As he walked, he kept his gaze fixated on the nobles, and directed more of his gaze toward the aforementioned noble. "Surely all of you who have children want the best for them. Some of you may encourage them to try to marry into a higher family, or to become even better than yourselves, and that is fine. But what Valex went through wasn't family, it wasn't even humanity. It was torture, and trauma." He was now on the floor, gaze sweeping each person in attendance. "Valex has gone through so much already. And yet you stand here accusing him and questioning him. Would you do the same to any soldier who experienced the trauma of war? Would you expect someone who has gone through so much, and seen the absolute worst of humanity and evil, to share their story to those who wanted sunshine and rainbows?"

The nobles seems to cower slightly at the kings demanding presence, especially as he started berating them. The one noble that was the most outspoken was the first to say, "Your majesty forgive us, I am sure that none of us here meant to treat you or your wife with such disrespect. My fellow nobles here are just frightened from with all that has been going on." Looking at one of the windows he said, "First the city is besieged and then are kingdoms very heart is torn apart from the very inside. So much pain and suffering in such a short time, surely even you must understand how that can put one on edge and raise suspicion."

Sir William Redfort
Sir William was standing guard for the royal family during the court session, off to the side. One thing he quickly learned about himself is that he didn’t like court sessions, far too much screaming and yelling, each voice trying to one up the other. Slowly the crowd became more and more unruly as they discussed amongst themselves or yelled at the royals about Valex. William gripped the hilt of his sword in one hand, and was starting to take a step forward if the crowd got any worse, but hesitated once the King stood up and addressed the crowd. ’How dare they try to blame poor Valex for this, as if yelling and scaring a child would fix what happened?!’ he thought to himself. He so desperately wanted to add his voice to the Royals, and put these ignorant nobles in their place, so that Valex wouldn’t have to be scared anymore. But William knew that it wasn’t his place to speak, it was only his place to serve and protect.
