(So the plot ideas:
We’re going to hit portions where it’s a butterfly effect type thing(think ‘Until Dawn’) that will shift the story and eventual outcomes of the RP. Some will be two distinct options, some may result in another character’s death(don’t worry, necromancy is a thing in this world, maybe). Some will be up to the whole group, and other a single character/person will decide without knowing the outcomes. The rp is named Clandestined due to the secrecy the group will have. Many characters will hide their pasts, some hiding betrayal, others hiding their emotions. This will knot things up. For example.
To: Atlas
Scenario: You learn that a witch exists within the group, being a witch hunter you know what to look for, and you know the signs of a witch’s magic. You have a few options. You can try to find the witch, or you can let the situation go.
Other will be like this.
To: Zahavi
Scenario: You learn that you are going the wrong way, that the cure isn’t near, what do you do?
(No select options exist, you design your own).
However the situations will be presented in other ways, and no set paths exist. And it won’t be set up like this, but certain characters have to decide on things that may change the group dynamic and if they ever find the cure or if they ever return.)

(( Leo - Pfft Atlas better watch out, Dru's a vicious one. XD
Sparky - They make a game of it called "Prince in Distress" lmao
Lynx - That's fine by me! I wasn't quite sure how old the prince was supposed to be (kind of slipped my mind to ask, so that's totally my bad), but I was expecting late teens/early adulthood. So he'll probably be newly turned 18. The youngest and most annoying by far, even more so than the one who actually looks like a child. ))

(Leon is a few months past 18 and so will totally hold it over Zahavi’s Head.
“I’m older than you, and as far as I’m concerned outside of your kingdom you not prince so listen to me and run” or something like that.
Lmao you they all take turns saving Zahavi.)

[[ Ooo, what an interesting plot idea! I love the flexibility of the butterfly effect and how many possibilities there are. Zahavi will definitely die in at least one of them, I'll tell you that. He's a bad decision maker, unless Eldred is around 24/7 to give him advice.
Zach: Haha I'm older than you, you silly child
Zahavi: How dare you I am the PRINCE, you HEATHEN ]]

Regardless of the macaroons, if the woman was who Leon thought she was, she couldn’t remain. She may be spotted, recognized, and overall she didn’t like it. So she reached over, grabbed 2 macaroons, and turned to walk away and find Zelos. That was her other reason.
She had no doubt Zelos would cause mischief for himself just a like a child would, and she just knew that if he didn’t, when she found him and asked him what he thought he was doing, he would reply with playing the part of a child.
She honestly knew him very well.
Yet she didn’t expect a figure, taller than her, to be in the direction she turned. “Oh, my apol-“ she stopped when she caught sight of the man. She recognized him, but she forced herself not to acknowledge that. Maybe it wasn’t him, after all why would he be there. But when she scanned his face again, how he seemed to recognize her, it set the fact in stone.
Her features changed rapidly, from anger, to confusion, to annoyance, and finally on something akin to reluctance and acceptance. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here,” She hummed out so only he could hear, instead of saying his name, or commenting on what he was doing.
Believe it or not, she had a conversation with him, he seemed to trust her enough at that time to remove his hood, that was, after the heist she helped him with, where they stole from a carriage headed to the castle.
No one was killed, again, she was a thief, not an assassin, though she was tempted.
Her right hand went up to her left arm, slightly covering the armlet she had there, one that she got from that specific heist, she really hadn’t seen Zach in a while, it was a surprise to see him there, but regardless. Her hand slid back down, before she reached over and grabbed another macaroon, popping it in her mouth.
However, it didn’t slip her attention that they were still close to the table, to Drusilla, Leonela, a ‘noble woman’ shouldn’t know a staff member of the castle. “Hello sir, pardon me,” She said, rolling her eyes at the words, though her back was to Drusilla, the action most likely wouldn’t be caught by any other than Zach, “My name is Leon, and what would yours be?” She asked teasingly, though her gaze slipped past him, still looking for her ‘younger cousin’.
It was odd to see the thief before her, one who probably hated her guts by now with how many times she stole things he wanted just to vex him or give them to him later. She really was a jerk at times, but it was fun to be one. She hated being in a dress, pretending to be noble, but she and Zelos deserved a break.
“I’m looking for someone, a little boy, looks about 10, probably near the trout?” She murmured to Zach, eyes skimming her surroundings, “Mind showing me where the ‘trout’ is?” She wasn’t referencing the food that time, she was indeed referencing Zelos being a trout, not that anyone would know the difference. She offered that to Zach though, because she rather not be caught around a smart woman like Drusilla, and she doubted Zach wanted to be somewhere so crowded to undoubtedly steal.

Zrusilla is now official. Zru is far superior to Dru. Everyone's names must start with "Z", the prophecy of the alphabet declares it so. ]]

Handsome was not the word Zahavi would choose to describe himself. Vomit-inducing, perhaps. Or ridiculous. Not that he would ever say so to his dear mother’s face, lest he break her heart.
“The maids do a good job of cleaning me up,” he settled for instead, a half-truth and a lopsided smile he hoped would fool his mother into believing he wasn’t upset by this whole fiasco. He accepted her kiss on the forehead with silent resolve and fought to keep a grimace off his features. It was a childish, embarrassing gesture of love that, while he knew she meant well, left his cheeks burning pink. “And it is an outfit of your choosing, mother. You’ve wonderful tastes in fashion.”
Not necessarily a lie. She did know what was popular at any given time, he knew, but he didn’t care with her choice of color. Red didn’t go well with his complexion no matter what she said.
“Your dress is lovely, mother,” Zahavi complimented, but the words were hollow. His eyes were on the growing crowd. So many people, so much chatter. A deep loneliness weighed down in his chest. A longing to be a part of all that not as a prince, but as a simple teenager. All these people, all this celebration, yet not a single soul to share a meaningful conversation with. “Has father arrived yet?”
❀❀━━━━━✮✮✮━━━━━❀❀
[Drusilla didn’t bother to ask what was in the glasses, grabbing one from the young man’s tray and downing it in a way that may have been unbefitting of a higher class woman. Indeed, her action did receive a few startled glances. Whatever it might have been, it was strong, and she placed her empty glass on the tray and grabbed a second. If a drink wasn’t strong, she wanted nothing to do with it. Simple, weak wines were a waste of her time.
“You’ve lost your young cousin?” She echoed, feigning worry and tracking both the servant’s and Leon’s gazes. In truth, she didn’t care much for a lost child, but it would have been impolite to behave so poorly. For a brief moment, she swore she saw a strange emotion cross their faces--familiarity or recognition, perhaps--but she couldn’t have been sure. It was gone as quickly as it had come.
I wasn’t was about all Dru heard of Leon’s whisper to Zach, so quiet she nearly didn’t hear anything at all. The fact that she was bothering to whisper, in a setting such as this, was reason enough for suspicion. Dru did not trust easily nor was she to be taken for a fool, and therefore, reserved her judgment for both waiter and partygoer until she could gather a bit more information. Rule number one, to listen. Rule number two, to examine.
And listen she did.
“Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Leon,” Dru greeted once she caught the woman’s name. She did not recognize Leon from any of the noble households she frequented, but she supposed it was possible Leon came from a healthy and otherwise uneventful home. “Drusilla Thristle. Call me Dru, if you’d like. I wouldn’t mind helping you find your cousin. The poor lad couldn’t have gotten far. You mentioned he might be by the trout, yes?”
Trout was quite a popular dish, it seemed. That was twice now she’d heard mention of it in one night. First from the thief at the boutique and now from this peculiar woman.
Her shrewd gaze landed on the waiter next, analytical and narrowed. He could very well just be a poor server dragged into this unusual conversation, but Dru was taught not to take chances. Between that talk of poison she overheard earlier and these two oddities in a crowd of normal nobles, her guard was up and her suspicions were high. Of course, she couldn’t very well let them know that--it was easy as pie to fake the attitude of a snobbish noblewoman. She did spend a majority of her time with them, after all. “You must join us, of course, young man. I quite like these drinks and pushing through the sea of people is thirsty work, wouldn’t you agree?”

[[ Thanks!
I think Leon and Dru's interactions are super fun. They're both smart and sneaky in their own ways, so it makes for an interesting dynamic!
Can't wait to see how Zach deals with not one but two women judging him the whole time. XD ]]
