The knight emitted a small squeak as her cheeks started to almost glow pink. "Um...um, no...That's...okay..."she said, not wanting to intrude. Celia coughed, just a little bit, trying to come up with some other way to direct the conversation.
"Um..So...Um..."She was blanking. The dragon literally couldn't come up with a single thing to change the topic to.

Kamikits "Sir," Baran called before he had Illusia's door properly open and was still standing in the hallway, "there's a problem. Demons are coming..."
Well, it was worth a try to see if something like this, just mentioning "private matters", could get the knight to blush. Come on, she though, grinning like a mad cat in her mind, sure you want to know, Celia.

"I um...I don't...think...think it is um...re...really any of my business...um..."sure if Micoi had just randomly decided to share, that would be one thing, but...Well she had said it was personal, hadn't she? Didn't that imply private? Didn't that mean that it was between her and Lord Jett?
"Um..."She wracked her brain, coming up with some kind of a topic...Anything. Something...
"...I don't think the demons are real anymore, I think I must have been hallucinating!"She blurted after a moment, that being the first logical thought that presented itself, which promptly jumped through her lips. Of course, once Celia realized what she had said, she stopped dead in her tracks and covered her mouth, really wishing she could take that back.

"......" The Queen-to-be blinked at the knight, blank face, and then... she smiled again. "No, I don't thinks so. I bet that in a few moments, I'm going to begin sensing their presence, just as I did when any youkai closed in on the temple I lived at in Arinas." Actually she could sense something already and soon...
"But are you sure you wouldn't want to know? It's nothing too bad." ....and then she was back on that topic again. Was there nothing that would keep her from telling the poor knight?

"I...I um..."She didn't know quite how to respond to that. It hadn't just been something she made up? Well...In a way she supposed that was good...That meant that she wouldn't be in trouble...but there were Demons. Coming. To the castle...through the barrier. Why was she relieved?!
While she was in the middle of this train of thoughts, another word found its way through her lips, "...okay" Sure, the voice was little, and quiet, but somehow she knew the queen had heard the nearly silent sounds regardless.

The young dragon stared at the knight who seemed quite obvious to what was coming out of her own mouth even............ Should she dare it? Should she take the chance?
Tip, tap, two small steps back on the toes... and then dash! And the young future Queen Consort of the Dragon Lord Jett was running down the hall, away from her chaperone. Why hadn't she told? She wasn't sure. Meh, whatever. She needed to...

For a moment, Celia didn't quite seem to realize what had happened. She watched the queen run off, down the hallway, and then it clicked; she should probably be running after her.
"L...Lady Micoi, please wait!!"She said sprinting after the other dragon. Of course, the queen had a bit of a head start, but Celia was exceptionally light on her feet...She hoped she would be able to catch up, or at least not completely lose the other.

Alright! First phase initiated. Now she only needed to cleat the second stage... namely loosing the knight. She was fast, she had to give her that, but she wasn't going to catch up with the queen-to-be. That she would make sure of.But she also knew that if they just continued this game of chase for an unnamed amount of minutes, and maybe even hours, it would somewhere end... and that was not why she started it.
Sighing, the dragon gave a light shake of her head. They would just have to blame her later. Turning her head slightly over her shoulder, she yelled back at the chasing knight. "I'm sorry, Celia!" And then she jumped out of a window that stood partly open, pushing it completely open with her feet (while hoping it wouldn't break because of her speed and power). The "a" in the knight's name was dragged out as the young queen-to-be made her exit and began descending through the air but as soon as she saw what was below her, waiting for her to land, it rather turned into a small scream.
"Aaaaaaah!" And then there was a loud thud near crashing sound and she had landed...
((XDDDD Kaaaaaaaamiiiiiiiiiii!! Idea! *winks*))

Reyn lay winded for a moment, the air knocked out of him, before he began to swear at the young woman on top of him. He had been in a better mood after getting something to eat, but this had ruined it once again.
"What the hell do you think you were doing? Did it ever cross your mind that you might have killed someone? Get off of me!" He struggled out from under her, wincing as he stood. "The hell is your problem?"

That had surprised her. She hadn't expected anyone to be down there, and least of all him. As he began to struggle she quickly got off of him, dusting herself off quickly. "Uhh... just... taking a shortcut, kind of." Oh yes, of course. "And, uhm, I'm sorry but even if you didn't like the joke from earlier this morning so did I get to sit on you," she finished with a smile. "So, yeah, sorry about that. Although you were a great pillow," she added and gave the fighter a quick peck on the cheek.

Celia had actually stopped in her tracks for an instant when she saw Micoi go out the window; it was only a moment, but it was like shock-induced anti-lock breaks. She darted over to the window, wide eyed and frightened for the other dragon, and glanced downward to see the fighter and the queen.
"Lady Micoi!! Are you two okay?"at this point, catching her wasn't as important as making sure neither of them had broken any bones in the process of escape. She sped down the hallway without waiting for a proper answer, and down a near by staircase, hoping to get outside before Micoi left again.

He gave her a confused look, then shrugged, seeming to make an effort to put aside his poor spirits. "It's fine. I was too touchy." Reyn laughed a little. "Not a big deal." He looked up with some amount of awe at the window she had leaped out of and whistled. "In a hurry?"

She smiled at him and was about to answer when Celia arrived at the window. The knight's voice made the Queen-to-be visible tense up with a "busted" face. "Erm... y-you could say that, yes," she laughed slightly nervously. "Uh, I gotta go," she said and turned around. She was able to take a few running steps before she whirled around and waved at him. "Oh, and by the way! Watch out for demons, Reyn! They're kinda coming closer. The top heads know about it so you guys better get ready too," she yelled to him before dashing off again. "I just have to fix a thing," she added with a raised voice so he would hear her as she ran for the corner and walkway that would eventually lead her to the gardens. Yes, she needed...

In only moments, Celia was downstairs, outside, and ran straight past Ryen, only pausing a moment to say "Hi Ryen," as she darted by. Truthfully, she didn't know how much longer she could keep this up.
It was certainly not that Celia wasn't in shape, no, far from it, but she had been chasing Micoi around a good portion of the castle for a while now, and her leg had only just been completely healed again; it still needed a little rest. She didnt' get very far past the dragon fighter before she had to stop, and lean up against a tree to catch her breath...
Her leg hurt a bit, though she didn't really stop to think about why. It was better, wasn't it? Yes. But the muscles were still going to be weak for a while yet...
'Celia, you should go a little easier on yourself. If she really wants to run off, at least we know should things get bad Micoi can easily out run the demons,' said Kahaku, trying to look at things from an omniscient perspective and give both the chased and chasing dragons a break.
"But..."she took a breath, already starting to feel a bit better, "But I'm supposed to make sure she gets there okay..." Said the knight, taking her weight off of the tree trunk and standing up straight again.
'If your going to keep looking for her, at least walk. I'll fly ahead and look for her. Just take it a little easier, alright?' the dragon sighed, trying to convince her to be a bit less harsh on her body after it had only just healed.
"Alright, alright..."she replied, thinking just a little bit that it was nice he cared. She didn't really want to be separated from the dragon, but this was a good idea. So with that, she watched the little dragon suddenly take to the air, and then continued at a much more reasonable pace.
((Edit: I just realized that for a while now, I've been spelling it Ko -haku, instead of Ka. >.< Adjusting now...))

Reyn lifted his hand to wave goodbye, then let it fall. "I... what?"
Baran nodded, regaining his breath and attempting to slow his heart. He noticed for the first time that they were not alone in the room. Aiketh too was there, standing at the far side of Illusia's desk.
"Officer," he started towards her now, "I was on the West Tower with the Water Dragon Knight. There was smoke visible from there and she spotted two groups of demons approaching. She..." he paused, not sure how to explain what had happened. "She has reason to believe that they will get through the barrier the Lord set up. I think she had a vision," Baran added belatedly.
"A vision?" Aiketh raised an eyebrow, shooting a look at Illusia. Had either of them been aware that Celia could do that? There were more important matters at hand, however. "How far away are they?"
"Ah..." Baran thought back to the scene. "I'm not quite sure. I couldn't actually see them myself... The smoke was close, though. She thought we needed to hurry, though."
"Right. Alert the Dragon Fighters. We are currently one Dragon Rider short, so you will be in command of your usual unit. Due to the unfortunate timing, I will be advising you in battle. Your troop will be acting as the rearguard." So I can keep a better eye on you, she thought but did not speak out loud. "Go."
"Yes Officer!" Baran looked from Aiketh's strict expression to Illusia and then sprinted out of the office, feeling a sudden sick sinking feeling as he realized what he was running towards.
