”I’m going to push you off this balcony here in about a minute, Zach.” She snapped, “Either that, or you shut it.” she commented, refusing to acknowledge or answer his question.
When Zelos spoke, she froze, before sighing sadly, “I still have to kill him,” she murmured under her breath, she then turned to Zelos, “Well, I’m good, this seems as good a place as any.” She commented blandly, looking over the railing of the balcony to the large drop below. She simply shrugged, before hoisting herself up on the railing, a concrete slab of wall, and sitting there, which was a bit hard in a dress, but do-able all the same.
“Well, this Chat was good, but I think it’s time I get home.” She commented, looking at Zelos. “Ready when you are.”
(We can have something cause them to stay, or when everyone’s ready, we can have Zander poison the king and queen.)

Drusilla narrowed her eyes as Leon stormed away--yes, stormed, because that was not the exit of a calm lady--and dragged the young boy Zelos along with her. Oddly suspicious that Zach the server wished to follow after her, but as Dru was coming to realize, there was very little about these people that weren't worthy of suspicion of some description. In the wake of their exit, she snorted and fell gracefully into a chair by Eldred's side, crossing a leg neatly over the other.
She grabbed a third drink before she deemed it time to speak. Quickly dropping the facade of a noblewoman and letting her face fall back into its natural expression: tired and bored. "I remember galas once having excellent security and being exceedingly difficult to get into," she said slowly, eyeing the elderly man above the rim of her glass. "Yet all three of those people, the young boy included, have the air of those who cannot be trusted. Little troublemakers, the whole lot of them."
Not that Dru was willing to chase them down. Should they present themselves as a real threat, perhaps she would, but she more less tagged along to weasel out information. Which, given the strained and bizarre interactions she witnessed, she had very well received.
No real point in making a scene by demanding they stay. If this meant they would leave sooner, she was all for the trio galloping off onto some grand, most likely illegal, adventure.
"Not that I blame you or the king, of course. You've all got your hands full with that prince of yours," Dru added, not bothering to hide the contempt in her tone. She disliked the prince and his pettiness. Even on his sickbed, he was a nightmare to deal with, always wailing about how he was close to death. Always crying whoa is me, whoa is me. Nothing more than a pompous brat, worst of them all. "Speaking of which, Eldred, I daresay it's about time you consider a change of careers. Or, you know, retirement. A boy like that is bound to have negative effects on one's sanity and there aren't any good cures for that."
The lack of tongue-burning drinks was degrading Dru's state of mind, for sure. She liked her drinks strong. Alas, all she had was the red liquid in her hand, which she sipped lazily.
"Then again, all children drive me mad. Explains why I've yet to settle down, even with my old man breathing down my neck. He gives his regards, by the way, and told me to tell you he still wants a rematch in cards." Dru's father long retired from the castle for years ago, but to this day, he was determined to believe that he would one day beat Eldred in a game. "Too much of an awkward brute to say he misses your company. I suspect he may be a tad in love with you, given you're the only one who could ever best him at his favorite game, and my mother is likely rolling in her grave as I speak."
Well, that and he spent most of his time lamenting how badly he wanted grandchildren, but that was besides the point.

Zacharias regarded Zelos' words with little to any actual recognition. He held his stoic - albeit slightly confused - gaze, not wanting to give the young boy the satisfaction of smiling at his words.
At his strange... acquaintance's... first remark, Zach couldn't help but smirk slightly. She really hadn't changed, had she? He stepped back curiously as Leon straddled the balcony, wondering what on earth she was doing.
She could be such a witch sometimes.
"What-" he began, but cut himself off. Best to figure out by watching, right? Then again, there was a part inside of him that wanted to lunge forward and grab her wrists only to pull her to safety. A fall from this height would mean certain death.
Wait... was he concerned for her safety? Surely not, right?
Right?

At Drusilla's first comment, Eldred's eyes followed in the direction the small group had disappeared in.
"Yes, there is something awfully strange about all three of them. The little boy is quite unusual. Far too intelligent for someone of his age, but obviously not intelligent enough, because he clearly thinks me a fool. He really thought I bought the whole nobles story. I'm the royal advisor, I know almost every noble in every kingdom vaguely near here, not least Ronan." Eldred responded.
He did raise an eyebrow, though, at the comment about her not blaming him or the king.
"I should think so," Eldred shot back lightly, "I had nothing to do with this gala at all, and I never intended to. I only came tonight to convince Prince Zahavi to attend. If it were up to me, well if it were up to me these pointless galas wouldn't be happening at all, but if I had to have one the security would be far better than this."
And his mention of the prince appeared to fit conveniently into the next part of what Drusilla was saying. Eldred could hear the disdain in her voice, which was understandable. The prince could be notoriously difficult at times, as Eldred knew all too well.
"Well, the sanity of the wise tends to be rather tenuous anyway," Eldred responded with a chuckle "but I think I shan't retire. God knows the kingdom needs me, and even if most of my time is taken up babysitting the prince at least the rest of the time I can still be of some use. If I live to see the day Zahavi takes power I do believe the kingdom will need me all the more, as will the new king."
That was partly about Zahavi as an individual; he could be a lovely boy when he wasn't being petulant or whiny, and there were qualities in him that Eldred could see would do him good as king in the future, but he certainly was not yet ready for rule despite the efforts of his parents and Eldred. He would be ready one day, Eldred knew that, but he would still need him. And a new king always needed an advisor they could trust.
Drusilla mentioned her father, and Eldred chuckled.
"Tell your father he may have all the rematches he wants, I will give them freely. It shall make no difference."
The man had never once beaten Eldred. The rematches would only serve to make his growing number of victories over the other man look more impressive.

As the night wore on, Zander knew the king would have a toast pretty soon. He mainly used it as an excuse to drink from his fancy cup. Zander noticed a few servants the drinks for the king and queen. One of them gives a single nod before placing something powdery into both cups before moving off to the side. "Perfect." He muttered to himself. Now, all he needed to do was wait.

Christopher takes his glass and thanks the servant before looking over at his wife. "It is about that time." He clears his throat and was very tempted to take a sip of his drink. "Straighten your back son and puff out your chest. You will look more regal that way." He inquired as he takes a few steps forward and looks out at the crowd.
(I'm guessing the speech is going to be like thank you for coming, blah blah, we are stronger together and other things a king would probably say?)
