"For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Astin watched as the two had there conversation, she knew that Sebastian was aware of her presence which was fine. It wasn't till Cyclone began raising his voice that she became more tense and wanted to reveal herself, he certainly wouldn't try anything when two members of the Court where present. He would be outnumbered if he started anything.
Her hand went to her temple, the headache still there but they had been worse before. Once she had gone three days without being out in the open earth and as a result of the withdrawal had started to pass out from the pain on the second day. The third day she just spent in her room on a sick day. Technically she could go out in the rain but it wasn't the same as on a clear day and she wasn't willing to risk getting a cold since it was already chilly outside and the added dampness she wouldn't be surprised if colds started popping up around the school.

 Aurelia gave Riku a quizzical look. In the next move? What could he possibly do to win? Lowering herself so that she could look at him in the eye she let curiosity win her over. "Sure," She patted the earphones at the sides of her head. "I'll take my chances, because from what you say I might still have these headphones in my possession." Auleria winked at him, bracing herself once again.

 Sebastian gave a confused looked to Cyclone. "Until tomorow? What have you got planned?" He asked, raising his eyebrow questioningly. Since when do Black Knights tell a Court member when they aren't going to be safe AND that they could be friends? He looked at Cyclone and smiled politely "Sure let's be friends." He grinned hoping to confuse the boy in his obvious attempts to mess with Sebastians head.
Sebastian glanced up and saw Astin holding her head. He looked at her confused for a moment before gesturing for her to go and smiling in her direction. "Don't you have a class now Cyclone?" He wondered, after all, he was keeping him out of a class with this conversation and it's not encouraged for a Court member to keep another student out of class.

Riku smirked, and in a Darth Vader mimiced voice, said, "You underestimate the power of the Black Knights." He even went as far as to throw his hand into a fist, just like Darth Vader. Without much hesitation, he summoned a quick burst of physical strength, and pushed himself at her with a speed that surprised even himself. Nevertheless, if everything went his way, he'd have succeeded in a tackle, and she'd be pinned. By then, surrender would be necessary. On the other hand, if this failed... He'd probably hurt himself.

 "What I have planned is a suprised... and if I really wanted to screw with you I would have done it by now," He said to Sebastian smiling at him. It would be fun to have a friend-enemy. He extended his hand to shake his. "And don't you have class too?" He said. I was originally hoping to start something with him, but this is good too. He really wanted to see the great Court King loose it, but held back his need to get him mad. Man, I can't even start a fight with him... oh well.

Opening her eyes Astin saw Sebastian motion for her to go, she quickly dropped her hand and shook her head smiling back. She didn't want the King to think anything was wrong with her but he had told her to go and she couldn't ignore an order from the King. So she turned and as she did walked into a cart of books, causing a few to fall. Stumbling she caught herself and bent down hoping no one heard the noise as she began picking up the books and putting them back on the cart.

"I'll be looking foreward to it." He chuckled finally managing to loosen up and not be so tense. He thought back to his time table. It's my free period. I want to go and see if Astin is okay though. Sebastian thought. "Actually I do have a class. I should be going." He said, smiling trying to hide the fact he was lieing. Sebastian had never really been a good liar, which is probably why his path had led towards the court rather than the black knights. Sebastian stood up and waved a quick farewell to Cyclone and dashed off after Astin.
He rounded the corner of one of the bookshelves to discover her replacing books onto a trolley. "Setting up a prank Joker?" He said to Astin, his voice full of mock serious. He walked over to her acting like a teacher. "What was with the head clutching back over there?" He asked, bending to help her replace the books.

"For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks." - Friedrich Nietzsche
As Astin placed the final book back in its spot she turned, looking up at the King. She stood, and looked back at the book cart, "Oh, no I wasn't planning anything. I was just being a klutz, but if the King wants me to set something up then I would be more than willing seeing as the Queen ruined my earlier one."
She paused for a moment as the King asked about her head, she pondered for a moment trying to figure out the best explanation. Once she figured out the best way to explain she spoke quietly not wanting any eavesdroppers, "Well its kind of like withdrawal symptoms I guess. If I'm inside for extend amounts of time I get headaches and the longer I stay in the worse they get, doesn't look like I'll be getting any relief today though with the rain. The nurse told me it has something to do with my lack of stamina like how I can only fight for a certain amount of time before my body can't keep up the power."
Astin shrugged acting like it was not big deal, though she was sure the King would think less of her with her weakness. He'd probably wonder how she got to such a rank with such a weak body. It wasn't her fault though that she wasn't a strong physically as her twin, though her powers where much greater than her twins.

 "Okay, see you later Sebastian," He said to him. He got out of his chair and walked out of his chair and walked out of the room. He sighed. I wonder what the other Black Knights are up to... I really want to see them. He walked to his dorm and sat on his bed. Small flames started twirling around him. He watched the flames and smiled, playing with his powers always amused him.

Sebastian chuckled at Astin's comments. "Indeed your are a klutz." He patted her back gently. "I assume the Queen was being a spoil sport, don't tell I anyone I said this..." He said "...But feel free to play some tricks." He winked in her direction.
While thinking about how to help Astin solve her predicament, his hand absent mindly began to rub his chin. "Right," He said, lowering his hand down"I'll take you outside." He smiled at her and was nodding for her to approve of this idea. "I mean, its rain. Rain is water. Water is my element." He smile widened knowing he was onto something. "I'm sure I can conjure something up." He chuckled.

Astin's eyes went wide with joy as she stood on her toes leaning up closer to the King, "Oh really Prince you can do that? It doesn't need to be for long just five minutes of clear warm earth air will be good enough for me."
She was hugging herself with joy not noticing her actions till she opened her eyes and blushed a bit in embarrassment. She dropped her arms for a moment before hugging the King quickly, "You've defiantly turned my day around Prince."

"Ne--ah!" Aurelia was about to respond before Riku charged toward her, catching her off guard. As he tackled into her the Queen lost her focus, her technique dissapated again and both of them fell to the floor. After a couple seconds Aurelia tried escaping, only to find herself pinned down. At that moment a blush came to her cheeks, realizing their position on the cafeteria floor. "Um...so this is the power of the Black Knights?" She laughed, trying to hide how flustered she was and maintaining her playful manner. "Ha ha, now what to do...?" Aurelia asked as if to herself, knowing that she wouldn't be able to squirm out of this one.

Riku smiled at his success, his arms pinning her to the floor. Honestly, that worked? Nevertheless, it would appear victory was his, no matter how much she squirmed to try and get out of his grip. It was one of those few moments were he was glad to be strong. "This is the power of the Black Knights, and as for getting out of this, I'll just take my..." He paused for a small second, and actually took a look at the position he had managed to get himself in. A slight, almost unnoticable pink blush tinted his cheeks. "Well... this is awkward... uh..." He had never, ever been in such a bad perdiciment. How was he supposed to react? Should he continue their little game? Or get off her? Unable to make up his mind, he slowly reached for his headphones, "I'll just... take these..."

"Um, yeah." Aurelia then gave up resisting, knowing that she had lost this game. "Well, I admit defeat." She chuckled, gathering the courage to look at Riku in the eye. Only then did she notice their color, dark but calm. Shifting slightly under him she felt how strong he was, the warmth in her face only escalating. "Uh..." Not knowing what to say Aurelia lifted her head, offering the bridge of the headphones to Riku. "Yeah, they are yours." She said, her voice sighing as if she was a child admitting she had stolen a cookie from the cookie jar. Why...am I...? With her head bowed and her face hidden she closed her eyes, trying to control the color in her cheeks. [[edited]]

Riku nodded, and slowly took the headphones, and left them to hang around his neck. He breathed in, and noticed her hair smelled nice. And the hair color of a wonderful navy-ish color... the red a slight bit more apparent in his cheeks, now, he muttered, "Yeah, thanks..." Taking one last look at their awkward stance, he added, "I'm just gonna, get off..." Removing his hand from her bicep, he quickly got off of her and looked out the window. Well, his tackle really killed the mood they had just seconds earlier. For a second, his thoughts jumped around frantically from thoughts he knew were better left alone. He then realized (after a second of his thoughts that were to be better left unthought), she was still sitting on the ground. Getting his own self off the ground first, he held his hand out for her. "Uh... sorry. Guess we got a little carried away..." He chuckled nervously.
