Valex looked around at all the nobles as his adoptive father gave them a dressing down. Honestly if he knew all this was going to go down then he would have just stayed in the infirmary with rye and his wife. Trying to distract himself he looked around, and in doing so he noticed William. The boy could see that he was not happy as well and just nervously waved at him.

Luna jumped when Jay yelled at the nobles. She watches on as he goes off on them knowing he meant every word. She looks back at the nobles as they cower. "I understand your fear but have faith in your king and queen. We have gotten through hard times before and we will again."

Valex looked at his adoptive mother and thought for a moment before igniting his magic very discreetly, but it did visibly cause a slight burning scent to be admitted. Specifically what was going on was him wanting to make a mental connection with his mother, but due to the damage done by the artifact any slight use of his power would cause damage to him. However, despite the damage he managed to make the connection, in which he said, “Mother, don’t be alarmed but I needed to talk. If you want to I am willing to agree to a limiter on my magic if it will help make your life easier. I might not like it but I don’t want to make yours and fathers jobs as monarch’s any harder then they need be.”

Luna blinks a few times when she notices a sudden burning smell. She perks up when she hears Valex voice in his head. She lightly bites the inside of her cheek as she thinks about his idea. Luna did not want to limit Vale'x magic but perhaps having something on him would ease the fears of others. "I will give it some thought and ask your father about this." She thought back.

Valex grimaced slightly but he was willing to take the chance of this happening if it could help his new family. He then said, "Thank you mother, I am sorry to put you through this." Suddenly the the burning smell started to get worse, but now mixed with the smell of blood. The scent coming from his neck wound starting to open up from pushing his magic use.

Luna turns to look at Valex and quickly rises to her feet. "Valex all you all right?" She questioned as she walks over to him. She frowns when she sees his neck. "You need to return to the infirmary."

Valex tried to look at Luna, but just let out the most “manly” whimper. Trying his best to not cry from the burning sensation on his neck he said, “I am okay mother, I can wait until this is over.” With a whisper he then added, “Besides this pain is kind of debilitating.”

During the midst of what was happening with Valex and Luna, Jay was still dealing with the nobles. In response to the outspoken noble's continued pressing, the king listened and processed for a moment before responding. "Being on edge and having your suspicions raised is fine, and completely acceptable." The king responded, gaze sweeping the crowd for a moment. "BUT, that does not mean you get to just interrogate and accuse the young boy." The king added. His anger was gradually cooling, his eyes going back to normal. "Again, I ask that you put yourselves in Valex's shoes. Just try to process what he has been through, or imagine one of your own children being the one in the interrogation chair. Surely you would all want the full details being rationally and fully explained?" The king asked, trying to get his point across. "And in this instance, where the subject is a young, scared boy who had no control over this whole situation, being angry and accusatory, while understandable, is not the proper way to handle this." Jay responded. Suddenly smelling the acrid smell, the king instantly turned and quickly made his way back up to his wife and adopted son. "Valex, what happened? Are you okay?" The king said, having been too angry to hear the two talking before.

Valex watched as Jay made his way up to them and blushed. With a slight whine he said, “I am fine father, just my wound opened up again and hurts.” Meanwhile the head noble looked at the family and said, “Maybe we should travel any further talk for later. It would seem that you have other matters to attend to.”

Jay frowned and looked at the back of Valex's neck, trying to make sure it wasn't too serious. "You shouldn't have pushed yourself so much today..." He said, voice a bit soft with worry. He then looked back as the nobles said they should adjourn the meeting for the time being and the king nodded. "I appreciate your willingness to wait and hear us out at a later time. We will summon all of you within three days time to hold another meeting. Perhaps then we can all have a more civil conversation." He said, directing the point mostly at himself without voicing it publicly. Jay knew he went a bit overboard, and perhaps some time to cool off would do them all good.

Valex watched as the nobles left the room and once they had all left he let out a rather loud groan. Closing his eyes he said, “I am sorry for causing so much trouble for you both, both now and during the meeting. I just wanted to be with you both, but maybe I should have stayed in the infirmary.”

Jay frowned and gently laid his hand on Valex's shoulder. "Valex, we wanted you to sit with us. You didn't cause any trouble for us. I have a feeling that discussion would've ended like it just did regardless of if you were here or not." He said gently. "We're both happy you came to see us." He added, before slowly getting back to his feet. "Now, let's go back to the infirmary to get that wound treated. And I think a snack might help too." He said.

Valex blushed slightly as he said, “While that sounds like a nice idea father, but there is just a one problem. I seem to be unable to really move without searing pain radiating throughout my whole body.” He felt rather embarrassed by the whole situation.

Jay chuckled a little bit before moving some. "Well then, I think there's only two ways to remedy that. I can either transform into my wolf and carry you back, or if you can move your arms, you can hold onto me while I carry you?" The king responded, knowing that while it would be embarrassing for Valex, it would be the best way to get him to the infirmary again. "We could also ask if the healers can come numb it for a bit, or maybe Selene can levitate you and move you back." He added.

Valex sighed as he was told his options and thought about what he would prefer. Reluctantly he said, “I refuse to run the risk of Scover seeing me being carried by his mother in any way shape or form. Honestly the least humiliating of the choices is the wolf one. Just as long as it does not involve being carried like a puppy that should be fine.”

Jay chuckled and nodded, gently ruffling Valex's hair. "I understand, Valex. I can see how that would be a bit embarrassing. Just give me one second and I'll be right back." He said, not wanting to shift in front of so many people. He quickly walked over to a side room, instructing a servant to fetch his clothing once he came back outside the room. The king went inside and moved behind the door before shifting to his large wolf form. His unkempt, slightly untidy fur rippled as he came back around the door and shook out his form. He quickly made his way back up to Valex, positioning himself so that hopefully Valex could move to get on his back, possibly with Luna's help. Jay let out a calm growl, glancing up at Valex.

Valex watched as his human adopted father walked away and in his place a large wolf came back in his place. With a bit of hesitation he moved to get on top of his back. As he did so he slightly cursed under his breath.

Jay watched as Valex slowly got into his back and he saw how painful it was for the boy. Jay whined softly, glancing to his wife and nosing her hand. He then looked back to Valex, waiting until he was settled.

Luna twitches her nose letting Jay know that she noticed. Luna looks back at the nobles. "We will continue taking your concerns another time." She lightly pats Valex on the back. "Let's get going."

Valex closed his eyes and said, “Yes mother, I just hope that neither Scover or any of the others to see me like this.” Suddenly Lulu walked into the court room with Garnet and Hawke. Lulu seemed to be the first to notice the young boys “predicament” and just smiled. The young mage groaned as he saw his newfound siblings walk in and slightly whined while saying, “Well I guess that was too much to ask.”
Had to fold them back into the fold so yeah.)

Luna turns to see Lulu, Hawke and Garnet. "Hello you three, I'm assuming you were looking for us?" She questioned.

Lulu smiled as she looked at her mother and said, “Yes me and the little ones here wanted to see you and Valex.” She then glanced at the blushing boy and asked, “Now I am not trying to be embarrass my new younger brother, but why are is he on daddy’s back?”

Luna gives Valex a quick look before looking back. "He reopened his wound so we are taking him back to the infirmary. Jay volunteered to carry him on his back."

While Jay watched as Lulu and her entourage entered thr throne room. He let out a soft woof in hello as she and Luna exchanged greetings. The king then took the initiative to avoid more awkwardness and he trotted slowly and carefully off the platform and into the hallway to carry Valex back to the infirmary.

Lulu frowned as she heard that Valex's wound had reopened and just watched as he was taken out of the throne room. Garnet also watched as her new brother was taken out of the room. She looked up at her mother and asked, "Can we go with Vally Mommy?"
Meanwhile Valex just sat on hit adopted fathers back and asked, "So father, what do you think will become of me? Will I have to give up my magic?"

Jay continued towards the infirmary, trying to keep from bobbing too much or moving in a way that might cause Valex pain. At Valex's mention of having to give up his magic, the wolf immediately shook his head vehemently. He wouldn't let anyone tell Valex he couldn't use his magic. Letting out a low growl, Jay tried his best to speak the human tongue from his wolf form. "I wont... let them take... that from you..." Jay said.

Valex looked down at the back of his fathers now furry head and listened as he tired to speak as a wolf. Frowning slightly he said, “Papa don’t worry about me, if it will make your lives easier then I can bear it. You and mama have done so much for me in such a short time, so even if it hurts and I lose my dreams it will be worth it to repay you two.” As he said that a few small drops of water hit the kings back fur.

Jay stalled as Valex said he'd be willing to give everything up for he and Luna if it meant making their lives easier. He felt the water of Valex's tears hit his back, but he didn't mention it. All he could feel was his heart breaking for his son. "Valex... you deserve to have all your dreams come true.... Luna and I might not be able to make... all of them come true... but we will do whatever we can..." the wolf said, craving his head to stare directly at Valex. "Parents are supposed... to help their children... reach their dreams.... and you're ni different... Magic is your dream and passion... and Luna and I will never stop you... and we'll help destroy anything in your path...keeping you from it." The king said seriously. "Those nobles..are just a pin prick on our fingers... compared to other things... that have happened." He woofed, gently nosing one of Valex's hands.
