Alary took the notebook and read what Aki had written. He smiled and nodded. He handed the notebook back and leaned over to Aki. "Looks like a love at first sight kind of thing to me." He spoke low as not to interrupt the two. "Want to head to the dorms to get ready for that feast and give those two some privacy?

"We aren't going to hang out in an infirmary room alone if that's what you guys were talking about." Luna had totally been taking a shot in the dark when she'd said this, but it was true.

Aki smiled and waved at Luna then attempted to get out of the bed and made a face when he couldn't. 'A little help? he scribbled in a neat script-scrawl.

Alary looked over to Luna and waved as well. He read the note Aki wrote and nodded. He offered Aki his hand and helped him to stand up. He watched to make sure Aki was steady ready to lend a hand if he needed it.

Aki glowered at the floor, pouting slightly as his legs wobbled, stupid low tolerance to magic use. He slung his arm around Alary's shoulder and mimicked walking. He grinned like a fool afterward.

Luna laughed quietly at Aki's expression then clapped playfully. "Woohoo! The prince lives!" With a smile she shook her head. "I'm just kidding friend... I'm just really glad to see you up and walking." She then pulled her hand from Ivan's and instead wrapped it around his waist.

Aki stuck his tongue out at Luna, his childish side surfacing while he was still in the company of his friends alone. It was a rare occasion when he didn't have to worry about his image...not like he worried that much about it in the first place.

Alary laughed as well. "Alright let's go." He slipped his arm around Aki's waist to give him added support. "We're going to get ready are you guys coming?" He asked Luna and Ivan from over his shoulder.

"Most definetely! If we're having a feast I have to make myself look presentable!" She looked down at herself and her dainty attire. "I can't go looking like this!" She shook her head and gave Alary and Aki a bemused look.

Aki would have .laughed, really but instead he ended up clutching at his throat and wincing. He was going to say that Luna looked fine the way she was dressed, she always did, but even that seemed beyond his capabilities at the moment.

Alary noticed Aki wince and looked at him concerned. "You okay?" He then turned back to Luna. "Since you're going to get ready too let's walk together."

Aki nodded and smiled, as if to prove his point. Truthfully he kinda wished that he hadn't done anything in the first place but it was too late and looking at the faces of his friends he knew he had done the right thing. He nudged Alary and then pointed at the clock mounted on the wall.

Nichole opened her eyes and blinked, still at school thank god! she thought with a sigh of relief. She looked around herself but didnt see anyone, "Please dont tell me, please tell me hes gone" she muttered to herself her eyes flicking about the room. She stood up and looked around, "Hello?" she called out. She started walking in no particular direction, "He-ellooo?" she called out again. "Where are they?" she asked herself putting her hands on her hips.

Alary looked to where Aki was pointing and nodded. "Alright let's get going." He then helped Aki walk out the door and towards their dorm. He wondered if Nikki had heard about the feast and if they were going to run into her.

"Sounds good." She followed them as they walked, slightly behind them with Ivan. Oh... what am I going to wear... I'll think of something... Hmm... Hopefully it won't be so... Me. Luna smiled to herself, caught up in thoughts of pretty dresses and material things.

Ivan smiled and kissed her head, "you will look good in anything." he whispered to her. He already knew that he would be wearing and it would make him look very handsome and yet dangerous.

Aki limped along slowly, really glad no one else was there to see him. There would have been a public uproar if they found out that the crown prince had gotten hurt while at school. His eyes saddened slightly as he thought about the title 'crown prince'. The coronation was coming up soon wasn't it? He had been careless with his time and now it was slipping through his fingers like sand or water, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His eyes trailed over each of his friends and around their protective and familiar auras,there was nothing he could do...

Alary watched Aki as he walked for any sign that he needed extra help. That's when he noticed the change in mood of his friend. There was only one thing that got Aki down, thoughts of being a prince and his becoming a king. Alary nudged him to get his attention. "What's the matter? You look a little sad."

Aki attempted a smile and shook his head. No, no matter what happened he wouldn't drag his friends down with him. The world of the elite was...no is something cruel. His kind friends, their gentle (*scoff* yea right) natures wouldn't fit in at all and they would get trampled. No, he thought as he smiled at Alary, he wouldn't drag them down with him.

Alary didn't believe the smile Aki was giving him. However he didn't push the matter for now. He'd pry some more later he just didn't want to ruin the good mood they had going at the moment. "Alright if you say so." He said for now.

Luna made a very kitten like face when Ivan kissed her, then still smiling, she turned her attention to Aki and Alary. "Hey you guys... Do you think this is such a good idea?" She looked at them curiously. "I mean, not only does Aki not exactly look... his best..." She shrugged at him apologetically but forged ahead."But are you completely sure that you got rid of whoever or whatever was doing that stuff to you and Nikki? For good that is?"

Aki shrugged lightly to the first question and then nodded to the second. Whoever it was, they weren't coming back for a while, not after the blow they had dealt to them. As for the way he looked, "Don't worry about it." Aki managed to get out, his voice scratchy and hoarse, which only caused his throat to throb in pain. He winced again but ignored it, "I'll manage." he finished, deciding he wasn't going to try talking again for a while.

Luna let her worried face be replaced by a breathtaking smile. "Good. It's great to know... I'd hate to see you guys like that again... " She narrowed her eyes just a bit and her smile faded at the edges.

Ivan smiled at Luna and kept her close. "dont worry, nothing is going to happen. I made sure of that." he said as he smiled at her. He could break any spell but it would take a lot out of him and some of them might mark him or implant something in him. That was the only draw back of being able to break a spell from someone, you sometimes gained a different spell after it. But so far he was clear of all spells so far.

They reached the dorms and Alary helped Aki to their rooms. He looked to see if Luna had followed them in or if she'd walked Ivan to his dorm. Once that was clear he turned back to Aki. "You can handle everything? If you need help just give the wall a good pound. Okay?" Alary said leaning on the wall as Aki unlocked his door.
