  King Darian
Darian looked up at the door and then frowned in confusion, going to answer it. Opening it, he stepped back a little in shock. Remembering himself, he let Sienna in, his eyes a little troubled as he turned away to close the door.
"What brings you here Sienna?" he asked quietly, schooling his expression before turning to her. His face was neutral has he gazed at her, but his eyes still held confusion.

╚════════════════╝ Sienna slowly stepped inside, jumping a little as the door was closed behind her. She moved quickly to the wall far from where Darian was and looked to him, a glare on her face. "Why did you save me? What could you ever hope to achieve from saving me? I have no family, no friends, no one to care for me so what is the reason?" Sienna shook her head as she took a breath, closed her eyes and let the breath out. As she did so she spoke once more, her voice a little more calm. She knew she had to leave soon, or she would stay forever. She was somehow drawn to the King and she didn't want to know why, she didn't want to stay. But she knew if she didn't leave soon she would soon grow weak, for even though she felt fully healed, she knew that she was still weak from the battle and the sun. She knew she needed blood and she was not going to be taking it from anyone in this castle. "You can't expect to get anything out of this. And if you do then you are sadly mistaken. But whether you think to get something or not, whether you choose to answer my questions or not I will be leaving here. I will leave and find a new place to live since your men destroyed my home. I will not return here unless you somehow find where I live. But when I leave depends on if you answer or not."

King Darian
Darian nodded and then turned away, forced to try to school his expression again. When he turned back, his eyes held a certain amount of pain, and something else, something that he couldn't admit to himself, not just yet.
"If you feel you need to leave, then go. I will not stop you. I really truly do not know why I have brought you here and why I have healed you. Believe me, I would like to know the reason myself. I am just as confused as you are. But I don't know. If you choose to leave, then you can." He frowned, hearing a certain note of pain in his voice. What was hurting him? He walked towards her and gently stroked her cheek with his thumb, cupping her chin in his hand. He immediately backed away though, wondering what was wrong with him. His expression was pained, confused, bewildered. "Believe me when I say I would hope that you stay..." His tone was soft, and wounded. His gaze was unwavering as he looked at her, took in her beauty. This woman attracted and intrigued him like no other woman he'd ever known! Sure, his daughter was someone, but she was his daughter, and she loved that fool, Arthurius. Darian's expression flashed anger for a mere second, but he found himself concentrating on Sienna again.
Why? Why did she effect him in this manner? Darian sat on the bed again, his face in his hands, unable to look at her any longer. He felt that his heart might break if she left now, never to return. That was it... Love... He shook his head, still unable to admit it, but knowing it instinctively to be true. He let out a low moan, momentarily forgetting that she was in his room. What had he become? And why did he prefer it over what he had been?

 Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of loveSlowly, Miron nodded, and said "Yes, I felt her presence. But it's vanished now... she could have left, but I find it unlikely... She's probably masking her presence so as to continue spying on us, or maybe try to land an ambush... Child's play..." Shrugging, he said "And I know who she's more than likely after..." Looking at her knowingly, he said "If you want, you can sleep in here. I'll use the couch here, so you can sleep on the bed. I can hang some cloth around it to give you some privacy, as you would probably want, especially if you are going to sleep in the same room as a guy, your highness." With that, he closed his eyes again, and said "But don't worry, I won't tell anyone else... but I assume they already have their suspicions as well. I'll tell you, it was a good ruse... but if you want to continue pulling it off... you aren't exactly acting like the servant you are said to be... you certainly show more power in the party than a servant does, if you want to keep this rouse up, you would need to stop talking to Mina like an equal, and act like she was your better, whether she is or is not..."I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above "Life is a waterfall, we're one in the river and one again after the falls..." Walking out of his room into the hall, and seeing Mina doing rounds, even if she wasn't trying to look like it, he walked up to her, and tapped her shoulder, saying, mentally to her subconscious, using his abilities as a dreamwalker, "If you really want to continue your little rouse, you should not be the one doing rounds. It would either be Selene, or someone else. Go to bed, and do whatever you were doing there. I'll take over from here." It was a stab in the dark, but he felt safe about it. He had factual points behind his hypothesis, so now was time to test it, and either way, he thought she looked like she needed sleep anyway. "...Life is a waterfall, you drink from the river then you turn around and put up your walls"  Never gonna save me
You just shut me out
And now it's over cause I'm stepping out, again Quivering, Athrin shook his head, stroking Sheridan's cheek, having to move closer to do so since she was shirking back, he said "I would go through this ten thousand times for a single day with you... I was lucky enough that it was only once, but..." He sighed, slowly standing now that he was healed. He was a quick healer, being a Revenant, so she didn't need to do much to heal him, and said "You need rest, and, after that, I'm pretty sure I can get you to your room without any of the guards fighting me on it, especially if I only bring you there, and leave you there... as much as I want to stay with you more, you need rest..." slowly, he scooped her into his arms, and, smiling at her, said "However... To be honest... your room is probably the only place in the castle I don't know the location of... I may need some help getting you there."Never gonna break me
Just try and hold me down
I will escape you and I'll push you closer to the ground
Cause you're the one that's going down

Selene
Selene looked at Miron, startled. Then she shook her head.
"No, we only did it just in case Meiun wanted to take us back. I would have told you all the truth right away, honest!" Selene said in a pleading tone. She looked at Miron and watched him, then shook her head. "As for staying here, I have already disturbed you enough, and I should probably go back to my room..." she whispered. So saying, she started to get up and make her way towards the door, to walk down the hallway and back to her room.

╚════════════════╝ Sienna went stiff as Darian walked up to her and touched her. She knew she should pull away, to run as far as she could from this place but for some reason she was not able to. It was like she was being pulled to stay here in this castle. "I will stay, but only until I know why it is you saved me. But w-when I leave you must swear that you will not seek me out, will not follow me." As Sienna walked towards the door, ready to leave and go back to the room she had been in she tumbled, losing her balance because of lack of strength. Yes, she was fully healed on the outside, and the few broken bones she had were healed as well, she was still weak because of the loss of blood. She hadn't been aware of her hunger until now, when her mind was clear of all thought. As she noticed her fangs lengthening she gasped, her eyes going wide and tried to run out of the room but kept on stumbling.

Sheridan  Sheridan closed her eyes, the tears still falling, as Athrius lifted her off the floor. Her body trembled as she tried to gather what strength she had left, she need to speak to him, to tell him everything. As she tried to speak her voice failed her so she allowed her words to slip into his mind. 'Athrius, I am so sorry to have caused you this pain. I-I...I don't want to be alone. P-Please s-stay with me, h-hold me.' Her strength was waning so she sent him a quick mental map, showing him how to reach her room that was down the hall from the library. As Athrius carried her to her room all Sheridan was able to say to him was, 'I-I'm sorry.' over and over

  MinaMina looked behind to the one named Meiun and shrugged her shoulders. She knew he was trying to get her to slip and reveal that she was not a princess and the Selene was, but what he didn't know was that she had learned to hide all emotion. So as she answered him back, mentally, she didn't give away anything. 'Whats to say I am putting on a rouse? Whats to say a royal cannot care for those under their protection?' Mina continued to walk the halls, letting her energy flow from her to those in her group, even those who didn't seem to need it. As she walked her footing was sure, her steps even, even though her strength was slowly waning. She responded once more to Meiun mentally as she walked. 'I wasn't doing anything and do not need to sleep. But if you wish to you can watch over the others as well. I will stay here though in the hall, doing what I am doing.'

Riku Itsuki Amakura  All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone ((I won't be able to post anymore today after this post. My day is jammed packed with stuff now on Mondays that prevent me from posting until either early morning or late evening on Mondays. Sorry for the inconvience.)) After finishing his bath, Riku got dressed. His hands moved across his clothing, straightening them out. Then he decided to go into the hallway for a way to stretch his legs. Once out there, Riku saw Mina and Meiun talking to each other. At least, it looked like they were talking to each other. Riku couldn't be sure.
He looked over at Mina, and then at Meiun. His mind wondered who would amuse him the most. After all, assassin's didn't let their guard down and he was sure he had felt Linda's presence. Riku needed to keep an eye out for her. However, Riku knew that the more people out in the hallway, the more suspricion they would draw to themselves. Thus, he walked over to Mina and patted her on the shoulder.
"Were you the one syphoning energy to us? If so, thanks." Riku told honestly to her, trying to start up conversation. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time

King Darian
Darian felt himself running forward to catch her, intent upon not letting her fall. His own eyes were wide as he held her close to him, then slowly started to walk towards a room nearby. He could not bring himself to take her back down to the cold dungeons.
"I will promise you that if that is what you want... But for now, let me take care of you and feed you... I may be head of the Undead Armies, but I am still Fae..." he said with a halfhearted laugh. "I still know how to host people graciously in my house..." His tone was soft, and his eyes wandered around the hall, always coming back to her. He seemed to mumble something to himself, something about beauty, and his face reddened lightly. He looked almost like his former self, as he was still depicted in all of the old paintings of the original Royal Family, with his brother, Oberon. Older, and slightly more hardened, but still. He almost looked like the beloved Prince Darian again.
But the blush soon faded and he came to a room with a good sturdy bed and enough windows to let light in. He whistled and a servant came running to get a fire going in the fireplace. If the servant thought it was odd for Darian to be holding a woman in his arms, he gave no notice. Darian then gently lay Sienna upon the bed.
"Whatever you want, we will supply. I want to make your stay comfortable." His tone was still confused, but he still looked as if he was his old self once again. He cast a confused glance at Sienna once again before he turned and left the room, the servant bowing and leaving with him.

Linda
Linda could have shouted with delight. He was with them! Oh joyous day! She grinned widely as she watched from the bushes. Oh, this was gong to be great fun indeed. He had been chasing her for months now, for the death of his partner. Oh, but she knew how his partner really died... His partner had been her brother. Her eyes prickled with tears, and she angrily shook them away. Her brother had fallen onto her sword when an Undead threw him at her. She had actually been trying to save him! But now... Now Riku was after her for her own brother's death! Her own brother, who now served under King Darian as a mindless drone... That's what her brother had become.... Linda's eyes grew aangry. No, she wouldn't let Riku kill her, no, this would not be her end, it would be his! His for letting her brother join him! His for chasing her all these months! He would be the one to die, not her. And he would join her brother in that horrible ending place of Droneville. Oh this would be glorious. She could hardly wait to see his blood on her blade...

Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of loveMiron blinked, and quickly said "Wait a moment! Whoever said anything to you about being a bother to me must be off their rocker!" Sighing, he stood up, and said "To be honest... I enjoy the company... and would prefer, if you're afraid, and if there IS something out there after us, which I am almost certain of, that you stick around where I can keep an eye out for you." He didn't know why... but he felt rather... protective... over her... he wanted to make sure she was safe. It was... odd... to say the least... but it was there. Slowly, he walked over to her, placing a hand on her shoulder, and said "Only leave if that is what you want, because you are welcome here if you wish it."I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above "Life is a waterfall, we're one in the river and one again after the falls..." Meiun laughed, and said "Have it your way..." Upon Riku's appearance, then statement, he said "HA! I Knew you were doing something out here, other than keeping watch. Regardless, I would prefer you stop lending me energy... It'll make it hard to get to sleep tonight." Grinning, he stood up, and, stretching a bit, said "If you are absolutely positive you are going to keep on guard... wake me up later so we can swap out... and if you don't let me swap out with you, then I will wake up myself, and, no matter what your station or power, I will make you swap out. Hardly sensible to exhaust yourself too far, is it? But there's something I have to do before I go to bed..." Turning, he said, this time to Riku, "I'm sure you've sensed it, the presence outside... there one second, gone the next... as if it just vanished... I doubt it's gone. I was planning on asking you about this eventually, meaning later, but now seems like the best time. Could you come with me?" With that he made his way to his own room, now his stride was purposeful. He had an idea, and was following it. "...Life is a waterfall, you drink from the river then you turn around and put up your walls" Never gonna save me
You just shut me out
And now it's over cause I'm stepping out, again "Stop apologizing..." he thought, his tone a reprimand, "It was my choice too. So stop trying to take all the blame. If anything, it's more my fault." When they reached her room, he slowly set her down, sighing, and thought to her, "I will stay with you... Right here... I won't leave..."Never gonna break me
Just try and hold me down
I will escape you and I'll push you closer to the ground
Cause you're the one that's going down

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku hadn't meant to be heard. Then again, that sometimes happened when let his voice carry like that. Stupid loud voice! Riku felt just a bit bad for putting Mina in the spotlight. His intention was just to thank her, not embrass her. Hopefully, she wouldn't be embrassed.
However, a comment of Meiun's took his mind off Mina. He too had sensed that other presence. An assassin had to always be on guard for possible threats. Maybe he wants to talk about earlier? No one had asked about his freakout moment. Riku had hoped he hadn't been seen. But that was pushing his luck.
"Sure." was all Riku said as he followed Meiun. If need be, he would apologize to Mina. He wasn't so much of a jerk that Riku didn't own up to his own actions. For now however, Riku had business to attend to with Meiun. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here

Selene
Selene blushed at Miron's touch on her shoulder, but composed herself and turned to him, some of the flush remaining in her cheeks. She knew that if she was left alone in her room, she would give over to her imagination and start to scare herself silly and wouldn't come out the next day So, she nodded to Miron and gave him a quick hug before sitting back down on the floor. She didn't care where she sat really. She felt comfortable around him.
"Thank you..." she said softly. She smiled up at him and then motioned for him to sit down again. "What were you doing when I walked in on you? I didn't mean to barge in like that either... Sorry..." she added in a mournful tone. Her indigo eyes seemed to catch the moonlight and glimmer in the dimness of the moon.
