"Well." Riva smiled. "Nice to meet you, dear. I'll be asking you more questions later. This guard is going to find you a room."

"The dungeon, miss?" Arvis asked. 

Riva stood up straight. "No, of course not. She's a child. Find her a room in the servants' quarters. Just lock the door."

"Oh." Arvis blushed, then saluted. "As you command, Lady Raven." 

As the guards moved to leave the room, Riva leaned towards Caden. "You'd better not be letting them out and not me," she said. 

@The Ward's Guard

Arabella let the guards pull her along, looking around at her surroundings.

Fiiiiiine. :P 

Nicolae cocked his head in confusion. "I don't have no sister, sir." He chuckled. "They're a-comin' up with good excuses to see me now, ain't they? Let her in, that's fine with me. I'll be free soon as this ball's done. Say, why we all locked down, do ya know?"

Arvis and the others walked down the hallway. 

"Now that was unexpected," one of the other guards mumbled. "I would'na thought the Raveness had a bit o' heart in her at all."

The third guard scoffed. "You didn't fall for that, did you? That witch has got no mercy. Probably just buttering the girl up to her, is all. She'll chop her up and use her for potions, she will!"

Arvis rolled his eyes. "It's not good to speak ill of our superior," he said. He looked down sympathetically at Arabella. The Raveness wouldn't really hurt her, would she? He'd rather believe she wouldn't. 

"Oh, c'mon now, Arvis, you know 'bout the Raven well as I do. She's not even a woman, no she ain't, she's a demon!"

Darrin's smile widened into a grin. Someone he returned his quips? He loved that! "Oh, I never come quietly, good sir," he said. "I must admit though, castle walls aren't a great place to duel. I'd be happy to do so on the ground." Darrin, too, jumped to a different window ledge. It was a long drop, but he made it just fine.

Jasper isn't quipping here, he genuinely just wants to avoid a mess.

"No sir. Right away, sir." The guard ran off. A couple minutes later, he was at the gate.

Wendy looked up. "So...?"

"Says you're not his sister, but you can come on in."

Oh. :P Well, Darrin might interpret it as a quip. He's just that way. I say we just roll with it.

Arabella got more nervous at every word they said. When I get out of this, she thought. Biana's going to be sorry.

"Who are coming up with good excuses to see you?"

One of the guards - a shorter one, the youngest of the three - poked Arabella's shoulder. "You're a quiet one, ain't 'cha? What do you think 'bout the Raveness?"

Arvis rolled his eyes. "Come now, Rian, don't scare her even more."

"I ain't, I ain't, I ain't, I just wanna know what the girl thinks! She's the one it concerns, ain't she?"

Nicolae paused, blushing. "Oh, no one, nothin'." He ran a hand through his hair. "The girls at court, see, they're all over me, I tells ya. But, ah... if I didn't know better, lady, I'd say you sound jealous."

Arabella looked up. "She scares me," she whispered. She didn't know why she responded to the guard.

"Not jealous, just curious. I am engaged to the king, after all. Shouldn't I know what goes on here?"

"Oh, she scares us all, kiddo."

"Rian, don't talk to the girl, that don't do nothing but making you feel bat when the Raveness does away with her."

Arvis intervened. "You shut up, both of you." They obeyed and continued walking in silence.

"Yeah, true enough, I'm supposin'." Nicolae trailed off and looked around awkwardly. For some reason, he felt embarrassed about the queen knowing he was an incurable flirt. "I hope you don't think, miss, that I'm just a-bein' nice to ya because I've got a thing for the ladies," he said quickly. "You're my queen, miss, I do my duty, yes I do."

The guard led Wendy through the hallways, though she had no intention of actually meeting up with Nicolae. As they walked through an empty hall, Wendy spoke.

"I'm really sorry about this." She said.

"Hm?"

Wendy grabbed the guard's head and smashed it against the wall, knocking him out cold.

"Of course, Sir Kimby. I never doubted it." Aliénor smiled.

The three guards walked down a spiral staircase and eventually came to a little room. "This'll do, I suppose," said Arvis. He gently pushed Arabella into the room and, giving her a grim smile, shut the door behind her, locking it.

Nicolae bowed, smiling with flushed cheeks. "Why thank ya, miss."

Arabella sat down on the floor and closed her eyes, a tear leaking out.

What does the room look like?

I hope you don't mind - I'm trying to only quote you when there's been one or more posts between your post and my reply.

"So do you know who this girl is?"

"No clue!" Nicolae chuckled. "It don't really matter to me, haha." 

"Ah. Then perhaps I should leave you alone to wait for her?"
