@Fraust

(These assassins are great for plot holes if we can't find anything else lol. I'm fine with the Anton thing, though)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(yeah. Like I'm just thinking Anton like pushes him down the stairs or something and he ends up super bruised up, though it might also be interesting if an assassin did something)

@Fraust

(Ooft, as far as the assassins, I figure Lloyd isn't going to be too stupid. If someone got shot, it would probably be through a window)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(yeah. Ooh maybe Ellis is visiting Lloyd, and the assassins see something moving in the window, and they shoot him? and then Ellis is panicking because he's scared people are going to find out he isn't completely human?)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(alright)

Ellis was in Lloyd's quarters again, to visit. He was standing with his back to the window, looking over at where the prince sat on his bed.

@Fraust

Lloyd was still a bit antsy from being cooped up inside, but he knew he couldn't head out with assassins around. Nathaniel had joined them in the room as well. Suddenly, a gunshot snapped the air and shattered the window Ellis was standing by. Lloyd jumped to his feet and Nathaniel screamed, covering his ears with his hands and beginning to shake. "Ellis!"

@ElderGod-Icefire

Ellis heard the gunshot before he felt the bullet. "I'm–" he broke off as he felt a sharp sting in his back, near his spine, and he twisted to look back. There was blood soaking through his shirt. "Oh. That's an issue." he said faintly.

@Fraust

Lloyd ran to Ellis and dragged him away from the window, pale and panicking. "H-Hold on, I… I'll get you to the infirmary… can you… c-can you stay awake?" He stammered weakly, carefully picking up Ellis and grimacing at the strain on his leg. "Nathaniel, stay here… s-stay away from the window."

@ElderGod-Icefire

Ellis inhaled softly, biting his lip and trying not to pass out. "Don't…don't carry me, your leg…" he trailed off, a soft whine slipping out as he was jostled a little too hard.

@Fraust

"Don't… d-don't worry, Ellis… I can handle it, and the infirmary is close…" Lloyd broke into a run, though he tried to keep things as smooth for Ellis as possible while he ignored the agony his leg was in. He soon made it to the infirmary and lay Ellis on the cot before sliding down onto his knees, breathing heavily.

@ElderGod-Icefire

Ellis was trying to stay conscious. He was also frightened, knowing that the doctors would know immediately that he wasn't human, and he didn't know what would happen then.

@Fraust

A few nurses and a doctor quickly rushed to Ellis's side while a nurse tried to usher Lloyd into a chair. Lloyd was quite close to passing out himself, and he wasn't sure he was able to stand at this point.

@Fraust

(What is he, anyways? You keep saying he's half human, but I don't know what the other half is lol)

@ElderGod-Icefire

(that's…mainly because I don't know what the other half is lmao. But he's not half Lloyd's species, it's a different species (space elves? space dragons? idk))
