Nova paused for a moment when Valex said he didn't have anything he could read. The younger boy soon had an idea and he quickly climbed off the bed. "Stay there!" Nova said before quickly running out, past his parents and towards the triplets' play room.
Jay chuckled and nodded. "That's true." He responded. He then walked back over to Valex and pulled up the chair again. After sitting down, Jay took a breath before looking to Valex. "Alright Valex, here's the deal. Your nurse says that after that wound reopened, it could be dangerous to overexert yourself and your magic." He said, laying a gentle hand on Valex's shoulder. "What that means is that only enough magic to your eyes so they're not deprived of your mana, for at least the next month." He said seriously, but a gentle tone in his voice. "Were not saying you can't use your magic, but that you shouldn't since it could lead to even worse injuries until you're healed." The king said.

The feline waves a paw, a mischievous, but friendly smile on her face. Her eyes gleamed as she looked Jenny up and down, as though studying her.
"Nope, just heading to the-" She sneaks a look at her paper. "Bleeding rat district, got some wares to sell." Her tail twitched, the gold bracelets on her tail hitting the silver with a melody-like clang. Asra draped her colored hood over her head, ears poking through small holes in the top.
"Is there anything a lovely lady like yourself would care to buy?" Asra's nimble paws guided her as she circled the woman, eyes narrowed. "Gold, potions, or perhaps humble food from the freshest sources. Well, as fresh as a day is."
"Well, if you are heading there you ought to be careful." Jenny answers as she crosses her arms over her chest. "Shady folks hang out around that area." She eyes the strange cat woman as she circles her. Her hands were ready in case she tried anything. "Mmm what kind of potions?"

Earrings jingle as she takes a step back and her tail sways back and forth in thought. Her paws shuffle through a blue-and-purple patterned bag. "Two healing, one poison, and one makeshift." Asra meet's the possible-buyer's eyes, her amber eyes flashing with interest. The healing were the most common, poison second, and this would be the last makeshift of the month. Did she know what it did, no, did people seem to care, definitely not.

Valex watched as Nova got up off his bed and left to go get a story, or at least that is what he thought. His attention then switched to Jay as he sat next to him and explained that he would be not returning to school for a bit. With a sigh he said, “I guess that is the way of things. However, my eyes pull in my mana by themselves. It is like any other eyes, one can not really control if their eyes see it just happens.”

Jay nodded as Valex agreed to not exacerbate his injury again. "Yes just don't use your magic aside from shay is necessary, ok?" He said, moving his hand and gently running it over his son's head. "Luna and I love you, Valex. And we don't want to see you get any more hurt." He said with a soft tone.
It took Nova a while but eventually he ran back to his big brother amd father, picture book in hand. He clambered back onto the bed and happily sat the book in Valex's lap. "Read this one!" He said happily. It was a well made picture book about the kingdom's history and the history of thr werewolves on the royal family and in history. It was one of Nova's favorite books.

Valex just closed his eyes and said, "I will try my best, though I must admit that it will not be my most enjoyable labor." Opening his eyes as the young boy ran back in and brought a picture book. Looking at the book the boy shrugged before starting to read from it. However, unlike Lulu Valex did not really attempt to put any life into the words. In truth he had never read such a book nor had one read to him as for as he could recall, so he treated it as if he were reading a spell book.

It only took a couple pages before Nova was bored and stopped Valex. "That's not how you read that." He said innocently. "You need to sound happier! And make different voices!" The boy said, not able to really explain what he meant.
Jay had been listening as well and he chuckled when Nova got fed up with Valex's rendition of the book. "Valex, would you like me to read this to you both? I might be able to show was Nova means." The king offered.

Valex sighed as he said, "That sounds like a wise decision, for in truth I have no idea to do what he asks of me." Slowly he handed his adoptive father so he might show him what he was doing wrong.

"I'll go ahead and take the health potion." Jenny said. You never know when you might need a good healing potion. "How much is it?" She question as she moves her hand to her pockets. Jenny had a fair amount of gold so long as the potion wasn't to expensive.
Luna smiles as she watches Valex, Nova and Jay.

Hey hawk I had an idea. I feel like doing something with one of my characters outside of the royal family. So I was wondering if my goblin character, Redcap if you don’t remember his name. Acts like a hired spy to sneak into the castle, getting caught by Mason. I want to tie it into rebelling lord and the original Firewell plot from years ago.)

Which he kinda is, but that is beside the point. Anyways, let’s get we going!)
How exactly did he end up here was all Redcap could think as he slowly snuck through the castle halls. Oh yeah he remembered, money. The human who attacked the werewolf king and queens territory offered him barrels of gold and shiny things to sneak in their giant fancy den. He was supposed to put so strange purple rock the human gave him in the fairy brats bed. Honestly he did not care, he just wanted his shiny. But apparently something happened and now the place was crawling with metal men. Hearing something not to far behind him the goblin quickly jumped around the nearest corner and peered back where he once was.

Mason was out doing his rounds around the castle. A few other knights followed behind him keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

Redcap watched as the metal men walked down the hallway that he had just left. Growling under his breath the goblin started cursing his bad luck. The human with the shiny stuff showed him a drawing of the one at the head of the group. He said that that one was friend of the king fairy’s wife, so he needed to avoid him at all costs. Turing to run away he ended up hitting something, knocking it to the ground. Taking a second to recover he looked at what he hit and his eyes widened in fear. He had knocked over a human female in what he think was called a maid outfit . The female shook her head to get over the shock and tried to look for what knocked her over. Upon seeing Redcap she let out a blood curdling scream.

Mason and his knights hear the scream and goes running towards the source. Once they arrived on the scene, all four of them unsheathes their swords and point them at him. "Who are you!"

Redcap gulped as he turned his head to head to face Mason and his companions. Jumping to his feet the goblin said, “Redcap no tell metal men, Redcap name is his to own.” Frantically looking around for some way to escape he slightly smiled when he noticed a banner hanging from near by on the wall. Quickly pulling out one of his many knives he threw it at Mason as a distraction. While the blade flew he ran on all fours like a beast until he got to the banner, which he began to climb.

Mason swiftly dodges the knife and points to the goblin. "Get him!" He yelled as he races forward to try and grab him. He didn't know how the creature got in but he would be having some words with the outside guards.

Redcap tried his best to scramble up the banner, but one of the metal men managed to grab onto one of his legs. The man started trying to pull the goblin down. With a growl the goblin jumped off the banner and onto the head of the one holding his leg. Once there he took his sharp nails and started clawing the mans face.

The knight cried out as he tried to get Redcap off his face. Mason knew he had to do something quickly to subdue the creature. He rushes over and attempts to grab Redcap's shoulder and pull him off of his fellow knight.

Valex sighed as he said, "That sounds like a wise decision, for in truth I have no idea to do what he asks of me." Slowly he handed his adoptive father so he might show him what he was doing wrong. Jay nodded and gently took the book, turning it so both Valex and Nova could see it. He then waited until Nova had quieted down again before continuing to read the story. He did his best to change his inflection for each character, attempting to make it enjoyable for both Nova and Valex. Admittedly this book was made with young children in mind so he hopefully Valex wouldn't be too bored with the contents. Seeing his father take over reading duties made Nova grinned in excitement. He soon crawled into Valex's lap, leaning on his big brother while he listened. He was very happy, giggling af certain parts. Diantha watched as King Jay so easily took over reading for his son's and she gently reached out, taking Rye's hand in hers. She so hoped for a child of their own. And she knew Rye would be a great father. She glanced up at Rye, a couple happy, if not longing tears in her eyes.

Redcap lost his grip on the metal man he was clawing as he shoulder was suddenly pulled on by the leader. With a beast like growl he said, “Release Redcap metal man, Redcap has done no fowl thing to be captured.”
Valex watched as Jay took the book and started to read the way his little brother was initially wanting him to read like. Honestly he could tell that the book was for a younger audience, but he did not really mind. Though as he listened to his adoptive father he noticed Diantha out of the corner of his eye. He wondered if she was alright, think he would ask her once the book was finished and things were quieter.

Mason keeps his arms extended so that the goblin's claws don't get him. "You are trespassing on castle grounds! What business do you have?" He said his voice stern.

Redcap growled before saying, “Redcap no have tell metal man Redcap’s reasons for entering big den of wolves. Now release Redcap so he might get his promises shines!” Like a rabid badger the goblin craned his neck and started to bite the metal arm of his capture.

Mason keeps a solid hold on Redcap. "Promised shinies?" He questioned to himself. The knight who was attacked moves close to Redcap. "There is no use trying to reason with such a vile creature. We should kill it now and be done with it! I'll happily use my blade!"

Redcap growled as it released its jaw from his captured arms and said, “Metal men all the same take snare goblin and keep us from shiny things. It no matter what metal one tries with metal stick, Redcap will get his promised shines from the enemy of the little fairy.” Reading his legs back he swung them forward as hard as he could forward to try and break out of the humans grasp.

He looked over to Nova and smiled, seeing the boy a little sleepy and settled up beside Valex. Jay reached his hand over the ruffled the little boy's hair. "Did you enjoy the story, Nova?" He asked. Nova grinned and nodded. "Yeah! Did you, big brother?" The young boy asked, looking back up at Valex.

Valex looked down at Nova when he asked him what he thought about the book. He had to think for a moment. If he was honest then he imagined that would hurt the boy’s feelings, given that he seemed to really like it. Putting a smile on his face he said, “I thought it was good as well.”

Nova beamed with happiness and gently hugged his big brother. "Yay!" He said happily.
Jay chuckled, seeing Valex put on a brave face and try to show Nova he liked the story. He would have to remember to bring some books Valex would like to keep him occupied as well. "Alright, Nova. I think it's time we let Valex get some rest." He said. To which the boy surprisingly shook his head and snuggled closer to Valex.
"Noooo! I wanna stay hereeee." The boy said defiantly, though tiredness was likely a factor in his complaints as well.

Valex looked at the tires Nova and said, “It is alright little brother, I will still be here after you get your rest. Now I think it best you do as father says and get some rest.” Honestly he wanted a moment to talk to Diantha about her well being. Given that he still blamed himself for her being in here he thought it only right to make sure that she was doing well, emotionally at least.
