"It's settled," the King stated with a brief nod. "A pleasure meeting you, Lord Dominic." A dismissal, and the King himself rose from his seat. one hand extended towards the doors of the Grand Hall. "I hope your stay here would be pleasant." The Inscriptors rose as well, but remained by the King's side. Resee stayed where she was as well. It was a common courtesy to see the guests out before any of them left the hall. As soon as the Embassadors, left, the King dismissed his Inscriptors, leaving the mage, Resee and a few guards. "Is there something you wish to tell me, Lady Sayuri- that made you start sewing under my table? It's stained glass. I can see perfectly." Edited by Seiss, May 18 2009, 02:10 AM.

Dominic and Alastor rose as well when the king finished the statement. "Thank you, your highness," Dominic said with a bow as Alastor followed along with. They both left the Grand Hall until they disappeared out of view and until one of them was sure they were clear of ear shot, one spoke up. "So...?" "So what?" "How is she?" "She's just as I remembered her." The person who said this only merely grinned, happy with the reaction she had. ~~~ "EH..?!" she exclaimed, jumping up suddenly, instantly flushing bright red, embarrassed. "S-Sorry... I was just... nervous really... one of them isn't someone I'm too comfortable with by being around." She fidgeted slightly, holding the nearly-finished sewing project in her hand. It appeared to be a partially completed handkerchief. "Sewing helps calm my nerves," she stated, looking embarrassed as she looked at her feet. "A-And... I didn't realize you'd pay attention to what I was doing..." |

The King chuckled, albeit a little tonelessly. "I am not a useless figurehead who simply sits on a throne. I more attention to many other things- more than you'd know. Tenarin didn't survive to this day without a proper ruling." "Is that all you are willing to tell me, Lady Sayuri? For the most powerfu mage of Rania to fear someone, I believe there is more." |

"But of course, I just wasn't expecting you to notice something so little," she said softly, looking down at her feet in embarrassment. Her face was pink from it, and she held onto the cloth that she was sewing tightly, as it appeared to be some sort of hand-made handkerchief. She looked up as the color drained from her face as he spoke of the person that she was afraid of. She laughed nervously, no humor whatsoever behind it as she appeared rather pale again, "H-He's..." she coughed to try to steady herself, "He's just someone that... I..." her voice faltered again as her eyes seemed to have dilated. She closed her eyes to take a deep breath before she spoke up again, her voice slightly shaky but clear enough for her to speak as if resolved not to break down in front of the king, "M-May I be excused? I had a rough nightmare this morning... so if I may, I would like some rest before I should answer that question." If she is able to answer that, that would mean she would have to recover those horrible memories... She squeezed her handkerchief tightly until her knuckles became white. Despite holding onto a strong expression of not breaking down, she felt as if she will break down at any moment now... |

"In that case, you have no need to tell me," the King said simply as he looked at her with a shallow gaze. "You may take your leave." Resee took that as a que and instantly moved the mage's side, keeping her worries hidden for now. Their King was difficult to read and it was best for her to remain as stoic in his presence. She waited for the mage to make a move first, before following her out the hall. Edited by Seiss, May 28 2009, 11:00 PM.

Sayuri nodded with appreciation clear on her pretty visage, and she whispered, "When I am ready, I will be sure to tell you." She curtsied deeply, if that was possible and greatly appreciated the fact that the king was willing to wait before she left the room, clearly shaken by the very fact that he had come. If she was going tell anyone of her only biggest fear, it was time that she would have to revisit her nightmares... and that... memory. She made a dash for her room slightly aware that Resee was following her. She took a gulp at what she was going to do and entered her room. "Resee?" she called out when she entered. |

That wasn't what he wanted for her to think- to tell him later, when she was ready. Rouren was never one to badger for an answer, or anything out of anyone. Interrogations and occasionally, tortures, were necessary when dealing with criminals, rebels and the wayward. Truthfully, he had no patience coaxing information from those who had no ill intent. He'd rather spend the time listening to his small council report to him, the condition of the country. There was so much to deal with, and so little, trusted hands. He said nothing to the mage's offer, and only watched her leave with guarded eyes. His silence was like a shield over his thoughts and intentions. Even his own elites couldn't drop their guard around him. Mentally anyway. He had already felt faint uncertainty emating from Resee. As King, he held power, and he played his pieces like his pawns. Though not without care. He was attached to his people. Very much attached. Rouren just had the knack for making others wary. "Take caution," he told his Rune Knight. "If the mage fears our most recent guests, there must be something to be wary of." While there is an advantage to how he held himself- the immunity from hooks, lures and threats- one tiny thing bothered him- that his people will never truly know how much he wanted their warm praises, or their devotion. Not out of fear, but willingly, as he cared for them. Of the very few family members he had left, Shura being his most treasured, was the only one he ever trusted with himself. How often can a king drop the regal stiffness in his posture- and to who? With Shura, he could always do that. His brows furrowed slightly in melancholy when his thoughts wandered to the past- a babe... who saved his remaining family, a babe who carried a curse for all of them. Now, he had managed to come so far. Shura lived through his childhood days, his teenhood and now, he was living in the present- still alive. Rouren had agreed to allow Rania's mage to enter the Tenarin borders to hold their search... partly because he hoped that their mage could somehow, someway lift Shura's curse. Rania was where the curse originated from, where the terror had come. So Rania should destroy it, or take it back. The one reason he hadn't been offended with Rania's choice of an embassador- a female- was because Rouren had anticipated... that with time, she would have feelings for her guardian, for Shura. Then maybe, she would grow to care for him, enough to want to remove the damned demon curse. It seemed to be working, but the mage had yet to say anything about freeing Shura from the demon. He folded his arms behind him, and with slow, measured steps, exited the Grand Hall. ---------------- Suprised that the mage suddenly turned and fled, Resee bowed hastily to her King, alternating glances between them both. She was sure, that her King desired at least some form of information, but her charge was running out of the hall, as if desperate for cover. Resee didn't quite know what to do. "Take caution," her King's voice was gentle, almost warm. She didn't know what to make of it, but still, Resee nodded. "If the mage fears our most recent guests, there must be something to be wary of." "Yes, my Lord." She didn't need any more instructions from the King to know that she was dismissed. He wanted her to watch over the mage like a hawk. With another, deeper bow, she took her leave. "Resee?" "Yes?" Resee had managed to catch up fairly easily. Edited by Seiss, Jun 21 2009, 03:44 AM.

"Can you be here while I go through my locked memories?" she asked. She never had figured out how or why that man scared her and all it brought were horrific memories... "I'm afraid I might scream or other while I go through them." She was already mentally preparing herself to remember, to push passed the very defenses she herself had put up to protect herself from visiting the memories or even remembering. She wondered to herself of how on earth she was able to remember that scene, his face, and how it was able to slip passed... It was probably because of her sudden shock of his presence, she had guessed. She sat on the bed, wondering if Resee will do what Sayuri had asked. She wanted to be able to tell of her fear for that man. For a moment, she felt a slight nagging at the back of her mind and she figured out what it was. Something about the king seemed familiar... now that she just realized. Then again, this might be an assumption, a pure assumption. "Will you, Resee? I don't want to be alone..." If she got over her fear... then maybe, just maybe, she'll be able to tell Resee that he was dangerous instead of the fear of what he might do to her when discovered. |

she paused midstep into the room, one gauntlet hand at the door. Go through her locked memories? What did Sayuri mean by that? She had wanted to ask, but when the mage confessed her fear, it directed her thoughts to assume a meaning- that Sayuri was about to tell her something private. But that didn't make sense. If it was scaring her... and if it was personal, why would the mage want to tell her at all? Her mind was still partially immersed in her own haze of despair, so Resee gave up questioning. Closing the door behind her, she looked at the mage hesitantly. "I will keep you company... but you don't have to tell me anything you don't wish to tell." |

Sayuri only smiled weakly as she replied, "I won't tell you anything that will cause you despair, after all, you yourself are still going through your own... I don't need to add more to that burden... I just need you to be here for me, to reassure me that it's only memories and not the actual thing as I revisit them." She waited for Resee to agree before she was going to plunge on into the depths of her memories. She was afraid that she was going to scream... She laid down on the bed and said softly, "Just sit here and hold my hand, with the gauntlet, if you may in case your anti-magic counters hit me. As long as your gauntlet is there, it won't hurt as much with it bare." She instantly remembered Keira... and for a moment, her face fluttered with brief grief before it was replaced with her smiling weakly again. She raised her hand slightly for Resee to hold. |
