Xian had to think and put a finger on his cheek"Breaking in wouldn't be smart'he then shook his head and sighed. Xian quickly caught the bottle of ointment and opened it then rubbed some on his hands. "Perhaps we should catch up on the local gossip first"he again looked around"perhaps a pub or something". His first instinct would be to hear rumors"The guards I saw...someone was protecting something or someone for a reason.he had looked to Artiah"Were would be good place to go for gossip?".

Artiah paused. "The pub? Brilliant," he said, nodding in agreement. "The pub is one of the perfect places to collect information! I fear that we might have to erm.. bribe once in a while," Some regulars in the pub make a living sharing solid information for a price. They were usually worth it, but quite frustrating if what they've said was false.

Changing direction to the west, they soon arrived to The Whispering Fletcher. This is just one of the pubs in the kingdom, but it was Artiah's go-to one if he ever needed a drink and a chat. The two walked in, greeted by the smell of mahogany wood mixed with alcohol from the air. Elves and humans mingle together at the bar, sharing moonshine and ale. Calmly, Artiah picked a seat next to another elf, but they didn't seem to mind.

((Who's gonna play this NPC high-elf lol))

Xian had nodded in agreement"Pubs are good for information and I have money in case of bribing."He had followed him towards the pub and sat down next to him while he tried to get information from the elf. Xian had noticed many people staring at him"Can we make this quick?"he whispered to Artiah.
(you can if you like as your the one talking to him)

"Huh, oh, I'm sorry." Shaylin blushed as she realised the aura she had been putting off. "Forgive me. It's been such a long day, full of things I'm not certain of. I've seen so much, and yet I have more questions now then ever. Questions I'm afraid to learn the answer to." With a stern grunt deep in her throat, Shaylin faugh to keep the lump of emotions beneith her breast. Anne lead Shaylin down the long halls and the two young women soon arrived in the dinning hall.

Releasing her hostess' arm, Shaylin walked to the feast laiden table and took a seat beside Jared. She forced a smile as a masquirade, alerting the others to her confusions an inhabitions wouldn't be neccisary.

Jared looked at Shaylin. he then pat her hand. "Don't worry, My queen. It will be fine. Just stay calm. "He said, smiling. He then looked at Nemisis. "Security Measure's. Are they Under-control?" he asked

"Defensive Charm's have been placed around the window's of their bed-room's, along with a Body-guard or two patrolling around their Living Quarter's."he said.

Mckenzie entered the dinning hall soon after Shaylin and Anne had. She was wearing a flowing pink silk dress that she didn't entirely feel comfortable in. It, much like Shaylin's dress, had been left in her room and was a perfect fit. Looking down at herself, Mckenzie could feel a burning sensation building in her cheeks and ears. She was a fighter, not a flower! Her gaze darted around the room, wondering if the others had taken notice of her awekwardness. She made her way to the table and sat on the other side of her cousin.

"I'll be ready at a second's notice." Mckenzie told Nemisis and Jared before she turned her words to Shaylin. "If I hear anything, even a wrong rustle of your curtains, I will be there to guard you." The boyishly strong girl vowed to her cousin intensly, she hadn't noticed her fist clenching the silk of her gown.

Hearing Mckenzie's words came like soothing water to Shaylin's ears. If no one else in this kingdom, Mckenzie would always be by her side; she was trust worty, loyal and honest. Just knowing she'd be by her side unknotted her stomach in the slightest way.

"Thank you all." Shaylin whispered as she closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath.

Finx stood beside the door ready to leave to find the others and eat with them but she wasn't ready to let them know she was a girl what if one of them asked her to be theirs before jared did? what would she do then? No she would go back to her room. She bowed to the queens before going to leave.

Anna noticed finx standind there about to leave "Why don't you join us finx?" anna asked as rena sat down to the left of her queen her usual spot.

(........What......ARE YOU FINX, OR ARE YOU A HACKER WHO ACT'S FEMININE?!?!? or is finx having a Sudden change of heart!? All I know is, This isn't normal, Homicidally insane finx!)

Jared looked at finx, and waved to her, smiling "Yea, come sit with us. You don't have too be alone. We are all in the same boat, so we stick together. "He said,

Finx sat down with a sigh she wasn't use to being seen as a girl it was rather strange that when she was a boy jared won't really say anything to her put now that she had boobs it was a diffrent matter *typical male.* she thought with a sigh.

The servants brought dinner in anna held her hands up to the ceiling "Let us give thanks to the gods and goddess's who have given us this food may the continue to bless us as we strive to appease them." anna dropped her hands and silence fell for a few moments "in the name of the god of the fest I do pour this wine." she poured wine into a glass goblet and set it in the middle of the table. "In the name of the goddess of the harvest I do set this food before the gods." she placed a small dish of food next to the goblet. "We also give thanks to the forest mother for this animal we do eat and thank him for giving up his life to feed us." the servants placed a big pig on the table "Let us eat for the gods and drink for the goddess's."

Jared whispered to her. "If you don't get used to being seen as a girl, You will develop a Phobia. "He said, then started cutting a piece of the pig of, glad to finally eat somthing that was Properly made.

Finx threw him a look knowing full well that he had seen it. "Maybe I like being a girl its not like I've...never mind." she picked out the vegetables she had never been a meat person.

Jared looked at her, and smiled, a Real smile "Your really cute when your shy "He said. He then went to start eating. It had been awhile sense they ate from A Quality Source, and he loved it.

Shaylin filled her plate with modest sized portions but had yet to actually consume any of the food. She wasn't really hungry though she knew she aught to be, it would be would make her sick to force herself to eat but it'd be rude of her not to eat. Picking up a piece of meat with her bare hands, the not so proper blacksmith's daughter bit into a thick chunk of pork, ripped the flesh from the bone with her ravonous teeth.

Without noticing it, Shaylin had turned into some what of a barbarian. She began to shovel the food into her mouth, adding more to her plate as it emptied. It had been a good fourteen hours since she'd last had anything to eat, perhaps her starvation drew out the primitive side of her momentarily. Mckenzie cleared her throat as to inform her cousin of her shamefull behavior at the table of a Queen.

"Oh..." Shaylin paused and straitened herself out. After she wiped her cheeks, chin and mouth of the pork greese she continued. "The feast is wonderful, I thank you for the kindness you've shown me... all of you." She bowed her head in thanks and prayer as she asked the gods to bless the people who have sworn to protect her.

Finx glared at him she wasn't close enough to smack him or step on his foot *luck for him.* she thought dryly picking at her food with disinterest.

"It gives me heart to see a young girl eat so well." The cook said as she appeared to see if the queen was happy with the meal. "All I usually get are half eaten meals. You rush to much you will miss the goodness of the meal though." she winked at the girl before addressing annabell "is everything to you're liking my lady?" "of course." anna answered "Does anyone want anything?"

"Excuse me, Cook, but Can I ask for a Small Thing?" He asked, Shy about somthing. "Can you make Daifuku?" he asked.

"Why of course I can!" the cook said before hurrying off to the kitchen to make what he wanted. Anna sighed softly "Its nice to have guests that aren't stuffy every once in a while." rena nodded "yes even if they are the black queens child and jared." she rose from her chair "if you will pardon me I will tend to my duties now." she bowed to anna and left. "Don't mind her." anna said staring after rena "she has gotten it into her head that you are not to be left alive but she will not harm you I am still here."

jared looked at the girl, and tensed at Anna's word's. "Pardon me, Lady Anna, but if she try's anything to hurt these people, My blade shall whistle with her blood."he said, Running his hand threw his hair, more stressed then before.

Anna paused in her answer allowing the chief to place his ordered meal before him. "Its a shame really that so many people were jealous of the black queen. The priestess before me that sat in this seat was very jealous of the black queen but her rule didn't last long and she left me a mess."

"Her Mother did what many could not. You must give credit to the People who Could Tame a Dead-land, and have life Spring from it. I believe that's part of why you High-elve's Detest the Dark Elve's "He said.

(hey guys I got tired of waiting i'm gonna post)
]Xian had sighed and walked away as Artiah had not talked to this elf about the rumors he heard. He had looked around and figured that maybe he could sneak into the castle to find out more. He then decided to walk towards and find a way in. When he approached it he had surveyed the guards and their movements. "This shouldn't be a problem"he had noticed that they were everywere but there is a small gap. Xian took the chance and hoped the guards wouldn't notice but they did.

"
Well that was easier than expected"he had smiled to himself and hoped that someone would pardon him but at least he made it inside. "Hey can you take the chains off at least?"but the guards just ignored him and led him down to the dungeon.
