[SeriousConcentrate]

Noel settled in for an hour's wait.

"Well then, shall we discuss something else? We have nothing but time on our hands while we wait for our compatriots to be released."

[Xanmyral]

"Aurelian Wolfgar, member of Prince Aliberti Yosif Zorostrian's personal guard." The knight sounded off with a snap to attention, then fell to a parade rest. "I am here on orders by Princess Rosana Zorostrian's command to act as a Royal Dungeon Guard until otherwise appointed."

"Due to recent events, I imagine the assistance will be appreciated." He spoke freely here, but still maintained composure. And to think the others complained about practicing military bearing back at training, where as now Aur was thankful to have something to fall back on without thinking.

[Haspen]

"I'm sorry but I'm talking with you so that the guards aren't obliged by written word to lock you two up for dishonoring Zorestian King with your 'foul commentaries' as it would be written. Please? Be quiet? As for the shard, I think Aliberti had it, High Priest." The old man bowed his head in gratitude and then walked away.

"It's strange though... that Father didn't exclude Chance and Maribel as he sent them in the first place... _{or maybe it's the bout of forgetfulness again...}"

"Pay me no heed." Rosana suddenly spoke after she remembered she was still within earshot from Kerr and Noel. "This whole situation coupled with all that marching in the caves, you must be all tired. Mayhaps it would be better if you all, ah, return to your rooms for now..." With that, and a worried look on her face, Princess Rosana was gone too. Only some of High Priest's apprentices remained, mostly sweeping the floor.

@Aurelian:

"I see." The guard wasn't particularily convinced, but he soon let Aurelian pass. The knight was able to move around dungeon unopposed as the people who brought Chance and Maribel in were leaving; one of the guards with Chance's spellbooks in his hands.

//Chance Nakoris and Maribel Rita are active again!

[Swordstar]

Kerr glanced at Noel, and then shook his head as the princess left.

"I'm just going to my room. Better to get away from all of this for a bit. She's right too. We should sleep probably."

With that, Kerr headed off for his room, not really wanting anything to do with the rest of the group right now.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Very well. I'll be transcribing our journeys so far in the library should anyone need to find me."

With that, Noel headed back to the library to find some blank parchment and get comfortable.

[Furtuka]

"That was sarcasm. Yes, I'm capable of joking."

"...Oh. I knew that."

Miranda was thankful that the subject was back on track right away.

"If everyone is leaving, I'm gonna go practice in the courtyard outside."

[Xanmyral]

Didn't matter to Aur if the guard was convinced or not, he could check with the Princess himself if he had a mind to. Aurelian noticed the spellbook... But given the guard and recent events, he figured it wise to not ask for it. Aliberti will have this all settled and Chance will get his book back, of this the knight had little doubt.

The knight stopped by Chance and Maribel's cell once the guards have fully left, looking in to see if they were alright.

"You two okay? I can't get you out, but the prince will see to your release." He spoke quietly and his voice betrayed his face, sounding worried for the two.

[CrimsonEon]

Chance sat, cross legged and his head leaning against a cell wall.
: "Hm? Oh, Sir Aurelian." Chance straightened up, "It is no issue. To be frank, this is probably the best we can hope for, given the situation."

[GiglameshDespair]

"If you wish for a sparring partner, Miss Miranda, I am available.  I do not believe some practice would be amiss for me, either."

[Furtuka]

"Well I was actually going to do my..."

She stopped. It might be fun to compare her skills against someone else. She hadn't had a good spar since she left home.

"Sure I guess! Are you any good at fighting without weapons?"

[Xanmyral]

Aurelian looked relieved. "Glad to hear you two are alright; I wish there was more I could do to make you two comfortable though. I just hope that you don't have to stay in there too long. I'm sure it was just an oversight in the decree, both of you were with us far before any of this... Stuff. And saving the world is far more important." The knight waved a gauntlet-clad hand dismissively, admittedly not too well versed on the situation himself. Politics always did mostly go over his head, the knight wasn't afraid to admit that.

"Still." The knight rested a shoulder against the wall next to the cell. "I can at least make sure you two stay safe and with friendly company until then. I hope you won't blame the Zorostrians too harshly. I'm... I'm sure this is a very difficult situation for them." The knight fell silent for a few moments, his own words sounding hollow to himself. Would he think differently if it was instead him and his brother on the other side of the bars?

"I..." Aur hesitated. "I guess this is what you meant when you said you weren't sure if your presence settled, isn't it?"

[GiglameshDespair]

"I've tried some unarmed combat, but I've always done better with a blade. Still, it's something I could do with improving on."

[Furtuka]

"Well don't worry, I'll go easy on you then."

"Here, I think I saw a nice courtyard somewhere this way."

Miranda pointed down at one of the hallways and began walking in that direction.

[GiglameshDespair]

"Ohh? Going easy on me? Those are fighting words, my friend."
Ayzebel followed her to the courtyard.
"So how shall we start?"

[Furtuka]

"Ready when you are." Miranda said, bring up her arms and shifting her feet into one of her fighting stances.


"So do you have a particular style or is it just something you've picked up?"
