Runaan hurried after the prince, easily keeping pace. His eyes scan the halls, his eyes narrowing a little at the ball. "I was never one into dancing." He mutters ruefully. He looks at the other with curiosity. "Sorry, what?"
Runaan hurried after the prince, easily keeping pace. His eyes scan the halls, his eyes narrowing a little at the ball. "I was never one into dancing." He mutters ruefully. He looks at the other with curiosity. "Sorry, what?"
"Hm? What are you apologizing for?" He asked as he kept walking, turning down another hall,still keeping the same quick pace. He even hummed a bit to himself.
"You said something earlier…" Runnan inquired before looking around. "Can I have my handcuffs off now?" he asks curiously, keeping in time with Evan. "Where are we even going?"
"To the treasury, no, and I complimented you on your name. Tis all. Guards could still be around. I'll take them off once we're to the treasure room. We'll be there soon." And after a little while, they appeared in front of it. There were no guards, since there were only 16 keys. 2 for the king and queen, and one per child, all of them carefully kept. He opened it with said key, unlocked the handcuffs, and headed inside. "Go ahead. Take only what you need, and a little more for your travels back and other such needs. Food and such."
Runaan nods before going quiet, his eyes wandering around the palace as they walked. "Thank you for the compliment then." He mutters quietly. He looks up at the treasury doors, his eyes widening a little bit. He rubbed his wrists when the other set him free before following quietly. He did indeed only take what was needed, and a little extra to buy food, etc. He glances at the Prince. "Thank you." He says quietly, bowing politely.
"You're quite welcome. Now go on and get out of here before we get caught. And if you ever need anything, always come back. I hate to see people suffer in such a way. Good day,good night,good morrow,and good luck Runaan."
He smiled at the other before nodding and leaving. "Thank you." He whispers before he was gone.
(Time skip?)
(Definitely) He waved and returned to the ball, still upset about having to be straight for the rest of his life.
(Alright. Should we go to when Runaan comes back?)
(Yeah!)
(Alright. Should you start or me?)
(Could you?)
(Sure)
Runaan took a deep breath as he walked up to the palace gates, his brother wrapped in a warm blanket beside him. Pax was smaller then Runaan by a solid two feet, and couldn't be any older then 8. He shivered weakly as he clung to Runaan's side. "I've come here to see the Prince." He says, glancing at the guards. "If he's here."
Evan ordered the gates to open as he sat on the throne, next to? His sister. They weren't married, but he had put up a fight to not marry any women at the party. He actually came out to his parents, and next month there was going to be a ball for gay princes and lords,which made him much happier. But for now he was practicing ruling.
Runaan entered the palace, his eyes widening a little bit at the sight now that he was truly taking the sight in. Pax looked around in awe, giggling quietly. "I've only seen the castle from afar." He smiled warmly up at Runaan. "Why did the prince ask you here?" He asks after a moment. Runaan shrugged. "I have a favor to return, is all." He smiled gently before ruffling his brothers hair. "Come on now. Let's not keep the Prince waiting." He says quietly. Pax nods.
Evan smiled warmly as the palace doors opened, and he got up from his throne, going to meet Runaan. "Ah Runaan! What a wonderful surprise! Come, come please. And you must be his brother. I've heard a lot about you. It's good to see that both of you are doing tremendously well." He wore a big happy smile from ear to ear, thrilled to have company and overjoyed at not having to sit on a throne and listen to people complain all day. "We'll get a room set up for the both of you. Please, feel free to explore anywhere. We have stables, a library, and a gorgeous garden outside with fountains and plenty of fruit trees to snack upon. You two may stay as long as you wish, live here even. If you like that is."
Pax hid shyly behind his older brother, his eyes wide with curiosity. Runaan bowed politely. "Hello, Evan." He says quietly before glancing down at Pax. Pax smiled a little when Evan said that Runaan talked about him. He still hid behind Runaan, but seemed a little happier. "Thank you, Evan. That's very kind of you." He says softly, resting his hand on his little brothers head. "Say thank you. Pax." He says softly. Pax nods before saying a quiet thank you.
"Hmm. Shy are we? My little brother Alex is about your age, I believe you two boys would get along fine. He has a pet wolf, but is just as quiet and shy as you are. He likes to draw. He's up in his room currently, but I could always bring him down." He walked along, went over to a few maids, and told them to prepare a room for the two brothers. He then led them off to a side room, a sitting room for guests. "Please make yourselves at home. Would you like anything to eat, drink?"
He smiled a little bit and nods, and Runaan laughed quietly at that. "I'd like that." Pax smiles at the other before slowly moving to stand beside his brother. "He has a wolf?" He asks curiously, his eyes wide with excitement. Runaan smiles a little but before glancing at Evan. "I'm not all that hungry, but thank you." He says quietly. Pax tugged gently on his cloak. "Runaan… May I have something to eat?" He asks softly. Runaan nods. "Ask Evan." He says quietly. Pax looks up at the other. "May… May I have something to eat, Prince Evan?"
"Please just Evan. Hmm…what would you like? Something sweet maybe?" He said as he sat down. "Also yes, we have many animals. Wolves, dragons, horses, foxes, bunnies, cats, dogs, snakes, lizards. Every sibling has at least one pet." There was a Mrow at Evan's feet, and he looked down, picking up a tuxedo cat with a mustache. "And this one, is mine. His name is Tux. He loves being petted and loved on, so it's fine to pethim." He set the cat down in Ruunan's lap. "As long as you don't mind a bit of cat hair, he's a lap stealer." He smiled a charming smile, dark blue eyes glittering, full of charm.
At sweets, Pax was sold. He giggles sweetly before nodding shyly. "Wow! Dragons?" He asks, his eyes wide with wonder and curiosity. Runaan smiled at his little brothers excitement. He glanced down at the cat and raised his eyebrow. "Tux, huh?" He had never touched an animal before. They were always to poor to get another mouth to feed. He pets Tux mindlessly, before looking up at Evan.
The cat was soft, and nuzzled into Ruunan's hand, purring loudly at all the attention. "Handsome thing isn't he? Spoiled rotten." He rings a bell and a butler comes in. "Sebastian, bring in a few bowls of candy. Small ones, we don't want to spoil his supper." The man nods and walks off, and Evan booped the cats nose. A maid comes in. "Master Evan, the room is ready." "Alright, splendid. After the butler brings in the candy, have him help you bring up their bags to the room. And then after that, take a short break in the library or gardens. They are always so lovely this time of year." She nodded and rushed off. "I pay them all ya know. It's more of a job and less like…well…slavery. An understanding and kind king, it's what this country needs. Even if I'm not king yet. Not till I marry."
AH! I'm so sorry! I thought I replied!//
Runaan laughed quietly as he pet the cat, his eyes gentle. He rarely got to enjoy himself like this. Pax was still beaming excitedly about the candy and the dragons. He hummed softly to himself before Runaan looked up at the man and then the maid. He kept quiet before looking up at the other. Pax nods, "I'd like a king like that." He giggles sweetly, a small smile on his lips.
"Everyone would. Though being such a good king is easier said then done, but I am trying." He shrugs as the two small bowls of candy are brought in, and sat upon the small coffee table. "I hope it satisfies your tastes Pax. If not, I can always call for more, or different candy. Make sure not to stuff your stomach to full. We have a 4 course meal for dinner to eat. I encourage both of you to please explore as you like. Would you two like to go do anything now, or rest first?"
(I'm back!)
Pax looked extremely excited, tenderly taking one and nibbling on it. He perked excitedly, eating it with a bright smile on his lips. He looked at Runaan and giggles quietly. "It's yummy! Thank you." He says shyly towards the prince. He went silent and Runaan chuckled softly.
