((Oh goodness, that's alright. I hope everything is alright!))
Kai shrugged. "I guess whatever you feel like doing. I don't really know enough about your tower to say what would be fun to do." He gave a little, nervous laugh. Well, it was true. "What do you do out here other than make flower crowns?" There had to be more to her life than just that. Kai would have lost his mind by now if it was him in this situation, but... maybe it would be different if he was raised his whole life in this kind of situation. Maybe he would have been able to cope with it, just like Aella had learned to do.

{Yup, I'm fine! I'm able to go to school haha. I just have some prescription things I have to take}
"Sometimes I just lay on the roof," Aella hummed, honestly unsure of what she did during the days. She never really thought about it. "I practice some magic, but I'm able to do most things by now. Usually, I just walk around the forest. There are a lot of animals that I like to talk to, and some other things too, but I don't think you'd enjoy being faced with a bunch of creatures that you can't understand." She couldn't understand any animals other than Isolde, but she understood their feelings and was able to piece together what they needed. From what she gathered, Kai was jumpy, and a bunch of possibly-menacing creatures that may or may not be magical were probably not going to be very entertaining.

((Well that's good. ^.^))
Kai laughed. "Well, it certainly does sound like you have a lot of things on your list every day." He joked. Wow. That was a bit of a weak joke. Nice going, Kairos. Really. He cleared his throat and got back on topic. "Well, I'll have to bring out some board games or something to give us some more stuff to do." He said thoughtfully, although that didn't really help with the problem at hand right now. He wondered how late it was getting and figured that, pretty soon, he would probably need to go home. "I guess we could just lay on the roof today."

Hey, was having kind of a rough day yesterday so I wasn't active. Will do some today between homeworks!)) Briar swallowed nervously and looked down a moment at Mycle, his discomfort very apparent. Instead, she smiled at the shopkeep and put a hand on Poppy's head. "And a lovely lady she is, do you have any collars for her? Our gentleman friend may be interested in getting one for her," And placed her hand on his shoulder, indicating he was said 'gentleman friend'. She hoped turning this mistake would diffuse any confrontation, as most people in the marketplace used her services. He didn't seem like he was looking for more attention anyway. ((Greetings! Totally understand those days - I had one myself yesterday ^.^'')) Mycle felt the clenched fist in his stomach relax at once, and he smiled up at Briar, trying to convey his thanks through expression alone. The vendor looked taken aback for a second, but then shrugged as if it didn't matter as long as there's customers. "Of course!" she sang, pulling open a drawer and lifting up some bejeweled collars. "You came to the right place!" Mycle's eyes widened at a collar with a leafy embroidered design and picked it up, smiling at it. He looked up at Briar. "Do you want anything?" he said, trying to silently convey that he wanted to give his thanks in this way.

Briar shook her head, an amused smile. "I have enough charms and bracelets of my own to fill a horse cart," She laughed at her joke and tugged out a necklace dangling under her robe. A long rawhide string adorned twists of dried herb, finch father, and a small squirrel skull held on with twisted twine and carved and colored animal bone beads. She wore whatever she remembered to protect herself from, and sometimes couldn't remember what each one did. This was such a charm. The witch laughed again, "Besides, a pretty trinket wouldn't suit me."

"Okay!" Aella smiled and turned to start heading up the stairs. "It's a lot of walking, sorry, but it's a nice view!" She headed up the many steps as though it was nothing, and it probably was since she frequently walked along the tower. She wasn't a witch that could wield air or teleport very well, so walking was always easier with her. It made her feel normal, another thing she did without magic so she could pretend to be just another girl. Isolde followed quickly after her, as always looking out for her and keeping a close eye on Kai.

"Oh it should be nothing. I'm constantly moving at work." And that was true. Kai was in pretty good shape since being a knight involved lots of running and exercising of all various kinds. So at first, he started up the stairs with Aella with no problem. Nyx bounded after him, keeping one eye on Isolde. Part of the dog wanted to chase her but knew it was wrong. Anyway, near the end of their venture, Kai had certainly started to feel the burn of the many stairs.

"If you're sure," Mycle said, trying not to stare too hard at the charm. Is that a skull? he wondered, partly repulsed and partly fascinated. "Though, it shouldn't be a matter of suiting, but rather a matter of whether you like it or not." He picked up an ornate silver necklace that could be worn at a fancy dinner party and held it in front of his neck. "How awesome is this one?" He said with a grin. It looked hilariously out of place against his plain clothing.

Briar watched closely at the necklace. "It is pretty," She agreed. The thought of the price hung in her head and kept her from even thinking of owning something so impractical. She opted not to voice that to discourage the strange boy. The thought of herself wearing anything shiny and glitzy like that amused her, and she wondered if he thought the same thing of her. Granted neither of them knew the other very well.

Aella breathed deeply as she got to the roof and climbed on to the ledge that was supposed to stop her from looking over the edge. She spread her arms like she was going to jump and fly. Even though she spent all of her time outside, she always did love the wind and the view from the roof. "I love standing up here," she said, turning on her heel to face Kai with a smile. "It's so pretty." She didn't care that she was standing right on the edge. There was a thrill that came with it, and she'd done it enough times that it didn't scare her. The forest wouldn't hurt me, she thought.

"Maybe I'll wear it just for laughs - how funny it must look on me," Mycle mused, looking over the glittering thing. As much as he admired it for its beauty and detail, it was far too fancy for his tastes - oh, how amusing would the look on his stepmom's face be if she saw him wearing this at the next ball! It was easy to imagine - her lip curled disdainfully, eyes disapproving. Pathetic - you'll never be taken seriously as a king. Why are you even in line for the throne? Suddenly self-conscious, he put the necklace back. What was he doing? Joking around as if they were already friends. Journeying outside the palace walls. Existing. He quietly bought the collar for Poppy and tried to not betray the change in his mood with a smile. It felt faint, so he pulled at the muscles in his cheeks. "Um," he said, so softly it was difficult to hear, "thanks again. For before. I'll - I'll let you be." The thought saddened him, even more so when he considered the possibility that he had been wasting her time with this nonsense. He liked Briar. Poppy nudged his hand, encouraging him to continue stroking her head as if she had sensed his drooping spirits.

Hey, I'm going to be inactive the next week. I'm working on cleaning and rearranging my apartment for a dog to move in and I have class work too. The past few days have been tough for me, and I think I should put the forums on the back burner for a bit. I'll just wrap up here really fast and I should be back next Saturday maybe))
Winnie nodded a few times and fell asleep, her head leaning on the arm of the couch.

Kai crawled out onto the roof with her, although he was much more terrified about this whole thing than Aella obviously was. He remained seated, preferring to just scoot around on his rear as opposed to trying to walk along the roof. When he saw her leaning out by the edge of the roof, he almost had a heart attack. That was far too dangerous for him to even think about. He looked out at the forest. "It is pretty." He admitted, although sitting up there was still far too scary for him. He decided that he preferred somewhere that he couldn't fall to his death.

Briar cocked her head at him, "You don't want me to take you home? It can't be easy getting through alone," She grazed her eye over the peddler's wares, not seeing anything among the glitter that interested her. Mycle seemed like a good guy, though troubled, and she wanted to help him. She avoided asking about the wheelchair and his skirt, as curious as she was about both things.

((Hiya, welcome back!))
Mycle lowered his eyes and kept his hands busy by putting on Poppy's new collar and fiddling with it. "I wouldn't want to take up more of your time," he mumbled. Oh yeah, home's also that big castle over there. Don't freak out too much. "Besides," he said, trying to look more cheerful, "I'm getting used to navigating this-" he gestured, trying to find the word. "- river of people." His voice got softer. "I can't rely on other people's help all the time." He quickly tacked on a smile. "Thank you, though! You've been very kind."
((I feel like something dramatic should happen like a thief or an assassin or something maybe the queen sent out a bunch of assassins before the huntsman drove snow white into the woods and then briar finds out somehow that mycle's the prince what do u think?))

Or you, now." She didn't push him to join her on the edge, and instead she stood beside him. She looked utterly content on the roof, happy with the air and the events of the day. Isolde lounged on the edge, away from her master and the knight. After a few moments of getting distracted with the view, Aella decided to lay down and look at the clouds. She glanced at Kai, silently asking for him to lay down beside her.

Briar shook her head, "Running deliveries gets boring anyway. It was nice to meet you Mike." She smiled at him. "If you're sure, I'll get on my way. If you need anything I live at the apothecary shop a little walk from here. I can show you if you like." Mycle was shy, but sort of a cute kind of shy. Not at all terrible company.

Mycle brightened a little. "Oh, okay! I don't think I've been there yet." An apothecary - maybe he could visit on future walks into the village, grab some medicine for pain. The royal doctors were okay, a bit more understanding of his condition than say his stepmom's advisors, but they'd still frown when he'd beg for something on the bad days, and would so helpfully inform him during checkups that his stiff back and shoulders were due to using a wheelchair all the time. He couldn't help but wonder what it was like for peasants. Come to think of it- "You, um. Wouldn't happen to have something for anxiety, would you?"

Hey y'all, I'm really sorry I have been away. I got a dog a week ago and she's been living with me. I get really tired at night getting used to her but I'll definitely try. Really sorry again))
Briar grinned and nodded. She hummed in confirmation for him and ran through possibilities in her head; roots, herb bunches, charms, liquid syrups. "I'll see what we have in store, after I get these off of my hands," She brightened and reached under the front of her robes for the bunches of talismans around her neck. The witch pulled out a rawhide band necklace strung with colored bone beads. At the end a stick with a hole at one end the rawhide strings through. "I give this to kids sometimes when they get nervous around my mistress." She cringed inwardly, thinking maybe it was unwise to say she gave it to children.

((Hiya, no problem! I've been pretty busy myself, adjusting to my new school schedule. And congrats, btw! What kind of dog?))
"Oh, thank you!" Mycle said, his tone barely betraying his discomfort. He was used to being equated with a child - well, more with simplicity than anything - and couldn't shake it off even though he had a feeling Briar didn't mean to imply anything. "How - how does it work?" And what kind of person would cause kids to grow nervous? he wondered.
