"Alright, I'll try to postpone your mother taking over the kingdom until you're alright, then." He chuckled. "Because that's no doubt what she'll do..Either that or make you king."

Deneb knocked on the door to Myca's bedroom and entered, in his catboy form. "Goooooood morning!Today's schedule is the taking over the kingdom from the hands of the tyrant king--or so the queen has told me to call him--Betelgeuse! Yaaaaaaaaaay." Deneb said cheerfully, clapping.

"...Believe it or not, that is my cat Deneb..He's a shapeshifter, so is his brother."

"We have a shapeshifter here at the castle, actually..." Mycroft remembered, absently. "A servant, Algernon..." He shook his head, clearing his thoughts, and sighed, rubbing his eyes. With his hair all mussed up and him still being half-asleep, he looked adorable.

"I met him last night!He's nice..Kinda cute, I think Altair is becoming friends with him.Curry and Vega are in the same bed, it's so cute." Deneb almost squealed in excitement.

Alnilam blushed first at the thought of Vega and Curry, his older brother senses going a bit nuts until he noticed just how CUTE the prince was.

(Ew so frigging short)

Mycroft stretched his arms up into the air, yawning absently. This in turn made him, unintentionally, look even more cute. He dropped his arms, humming a little. "I'm kinda hungry..."

"I'll go wake up the Queen, then!" Deneb chimed. "She's going to help the servants in teh kitchen today..She's so nice, letting them all have a nice hot breakfast and everything, I even heard her talking to the last Archmage about getting them better quarters and bigger beds and private rooms for couples and things like that.Ooh I can't wait to see it all!And I won't have to hide from any mean animal hating people!Yay! Well, Curry doesn't like me but he doesn't HATE me.Maybe he's like me better if he saw me like this.Oh well.Byebye, I'll go wake up Queen Bells!" He almost skipped off, headed to the guest bedroom where the queen and Borealis had slept in that night.

"Excuse my rather inapropriate way of saying this, but you are very, very cute when you're just waking up." Alnilam said, his cheeks, eyes and tattoos all turning red and pink.

"Eeehh??" Mycroft went pink, then grinned. "Hehe, you think so? Thanks!" He reached out and gave Alnilam a big hug, still seeming a tad sleepy.

Alnilam's cheeks went even deeper red as he was hugged by the prince. "Ah..Yo-you are welcome..I got you to be happy again.." He smiled rather softly. "That's very great..I had almost thought you had lost all of your energy that you had when i first met you."

(Obvious crush is obvious.
Also, what do you think fo my Alnilam cosplay avie? c: pwetty, no? THIS STAFF COST SO DAMN MUCH. 8D; )

Mycroft giggled. "No, no...I'm okay. I've just got a lot of stuff on my mind is all." He rested his head on Alnilam's shoulder. "Wanna go get breakfast?"

((I like it! :boogie: ))

(It's not done, thoguh, tehre are quite a few things I'd still like to add. c: HAIRCLIPS, FOR EXAMPLE)

Alnilam yawned lightly. "We may have to wait a bit, until it gets ready..I assume Bellatrix told the servants to sleep in a bit, so they'd be happy as can be.Deneb's probably waking them all up now.."

A knock came at the door and Bellatrix walked in, smiling. "Hello, you two, I was wondering where you went, couldn't find you in your room, Alnilam..I'm headed off to start fixing breakfast, after Deneb wakes them up..We all slept in quite a bit, after such a stressful night." She chuckled, and left, Borealis peeking in just for a moment to wave and softly say good morning, before leaving.

(Yes, Borealis follows her everywhere. :P Now that's she's back he's a bit obsessed with being close to her.How cuuute~)

Deneb walked through the servant's quarters, gently waking all of them up except for Curry and Vega, who he left sleeping because he thought they were just too cute.

(And with that I need to sleeeeeep)

Mycroft grumbled. "I need to learn how to lock my door." He was not used to having kind parental figures, and it would take him a while to get used to everything. "If we have to wait for breakfast, should we take a walk or something?"

"Sure..Actually, I'd like to bathe before breakfast..Is there a river or a lake nearby?Then we can do both.." Alnilam said, combing out his long hair with his fingers."You can come with me if you'd like, the actual bathing part.It's very cleansing, the cold water adn the fresh air..

"There's a lake to the east, and a hot spring out behind the castle--take your pick," Mycroft informed him, pulling a few knots out of his absurdly curly hair.

"I think I'd prefer the lake." Alnilam nodded. "I'll go get me a change of clothing and some shoes.My prayer robes aren't the most comfortable." He chuckled, seeming to be cheating by using his magic to untangle his hair and smooth it out so it was almost pin straight, instead of the odd uniform waves it had been in due to his braid.

"Fine with me." Unwillingly, Mycroft ambled out of bed to find new clothes for himself. He seemed to be feeling better--at least he wasn't so sad anymore...

"I'll be right back.." Alnilam got up and left the room, soon returning with a pair of silver sandals on his feet and a light blue sleeveless robe, similar to the one he had worn the day before, folded in his arms. "Ready to go when you are..Maybe when We're there I can introduce you to your new powers." He softly smiled.

Mycroft simply grabbed all-black dress clothes, old and comfy, and stood beside him. "I'm ready. And I dunno...I'm not in the mood for magic..."

"Alright, It was just a suggestion..You might end up controlling them by accident, not an uncommon thing for someone new to magic." Alnilam began to walk out, making sure Myca was following behind.

(Oh god this is so frigging short. D: I HAS NOTHING GOOD TO ADD TO IT)

((We need action to occur. D: We need someone to start an awkward moment between them--it'd be funny. X3))

Mycroft followed him, easily enough. There was a spring to his step--a good sign that he was slowly returning to his normal, bubbly self.

(..CURRY WAKE THE FUCK UP AND/OR STOP HUMPING VEGA WHO I ALMSOT CALLED LAVI FOR A MOMENT THERE. WHOOPS, WRONG CHARACTER ENTIRELY)

"You seem better now, you have that spring in your step back." Alnilam said, seeming happy that Myca was feeling a bit better. "I'm sure a nice bath will relax you even further."

((Blame Deneb--he didn't wake them up. D: We should make them wake up and head out to the lake and find them bathing together. :boogie: ))

"I hope so. I still don't feel quite right," Mycroft admitted, latching onto his arm as they walked. It was like a mother and baby duck, walking together...

"I'll have Deneb wake Vega up, maybe when we come back if you're not feeling well yet, he can try to help." Alnilam said, opening the front doors to the castle and walking out. "Lead the way.."

Deneb went back down to the servant quarters and poked Curry, trying to get him to wake up. "Hey!...Hey!It's almost noon, and master archmage wants you up!He said He's going out for a walk with the prince, and for Vega to be up when he gets back!Wake uuuuuuupp It's like noon!"

(He told Deneb with his braaaaaaaain. c: Magics!)

"Okay, sounds good. This way, this way!" Mycroft pattered off in the direction of the lake, though a bit of semi-thick forest.

Curry grunted, swatting at him. "Get lost, pipsqueak..." He was a demon when woken up, not of his own volition.

Alnilam closely followed, the forest seeming to spread out of the way in front of Myca whenever there was a branch, bunch of vines or a root in the ground in his way.This of course was his doing, to make the journey easier.

Deneb growled. "I'm not a pipsqueak you big jerk!That makes me sound like a mouse, I'm a cat!"

Vega rather cutely stirred, whimpering and burying his face into Curry's chest. "Stop moving.." He mumbled sleepily, not even opening his eyes.

And it was a good idea. Mycroft was terribly clumsy and tripped over just about anything. He almost tripped over his own feet, all by himself, on the way to the lake.

Curry stroked Vega's hair. "This pipsqueak is bothering me...I'm trying to get him to leave..." he muttered, also sleepily.

"Are you alright?" ALnilam raised an eyebrow, catching up to Myca. "Are your legs still stiff from being asleep?"

"Don't be mean to Deneb..Wait..Did he say it's almost noon?Oh gods I need to get into the kitchen I'm going to get yelled at so much and I won't get food for a week and and aaaaaaaaaahhh.." Vega said, freaking out as he tried to get up but horribly failed, forgetting he was on teh top bunk and plummeting to the ground. "Ow.."
