Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amy looked at Xander, "try telling him that" she said, "I've been telling him to leave for the longest time, he won't listen to me, some crap about orders" she said.

Niro smirked, "I cannot leave without being released by the king, beside's I have nowhere to go" he said.

Amy scoffed, "gee really?? why do you think that is? because you abandoned your family for a shitty job like this....to protect someone who doesn't need protection" she shot at him.

(( Its ok . ^_^ I've done something like that a couple times before. ))

Vivian chuckled, waving to her sister. "Heh, then go and eat. I'll try, the bandages will probably come off by hands by then so hopefully I can eat too. Oh! And if Amy is worrying, just tell her I'm fine for now, ok?" Letting her arm rest on her stomach, she glanced around, making sure no nurses were around as she untied the bandages around her hand, nothing leaking from the burns anymore. Smiling slightly at that, she touched the back of her hand to Hectors arms.

Seeing him wake, the smile widened a little. "Afternoon my love. I must say, you look like a mess, but I'm still glad your here." She murmured softly, teasing him gently, her violet eyes bright again like they were before this mess.

Letting his brothers go, he continued to head toward the dungeon. Passing Erika, he nodded to her, not saying a word about Xander. His brother wasn't on his mind at the moment.

Bursting into the dungeon, he spotted Philip in the shadows, the saw the maid. Walking up to her cell, he looked down at her. "I suppose you know the death penalty. Kill someone, you die too. Hm. I have a few questions first, and my good friend Philip here knows some torture techniques, am I right Philip?" Looking back at the man, he had that awkward calm smile on his face, acting as if this was something he did daily.

"Well a man's got to do what a man's got to do to keep royalty safe" Niro shot back.

Amy shook her head muttering curses, "A man's....how dare you? Family comes first for your infor-......" btu she broke off seeing Akori's bruised face and injured body, "oh my god, what happened to you?" she asked her eyes wide in confusion. "Was there an attack?" she asked.

Hector shook his head, "no, It was my fault, I will live with the pain" he said, looking at his bruises, "the real scar can't be healed anyway" he added actually only thinking loud, the fact that Akori had won again got to him more than ever this time. Hearing Vivian call out his name, he looked at her frowning, "what's the matter?" he asked.

Akori inhaled, "oh these, um, Hector and I had some issues from the past that finally came to face again today, so we bargained it out the best way we knew how" he said, "nothing much, just a few bruises and a bit of blood" he added, looking at Erika, "decided to show up again have you?" he asked.

His smile fading, he shook his head. "Being forced into it doesn't change the fact that you killed Princess Vivian. She was poisoned by a maid within Syra's castle, and died from it. How does that sound to you? That's what's going to spread through both Kingdoms." He knew Vivian hadn't died, but the maid didn't know that. For all she knew, she did kill the Princess, and the death penalty awaited her.

"No, let's not do anything yet. Just tie her up to a chair for now. We'll see how much information she gives before we touch her."

Akori chuckled funnily, scratching the back of his head, "yea, he'll get over it, isn't the first time it's happened" he said, seeing her concern for Hector, but none for him. "oh and by the way, I'm fine thanks for asking" he said sarcastically, smirking at her.

-edit

Hector listened, but seeing her in her state knew what he ahd to do. He exhlaed an unconvincing laugh, looking at her, "it's ok now, I just get that sometimes....you know, even the happiest man has his dark corners" he told her.
