Luella "Of course I do, mother." Luella did a little curtsy to her mother. "I can do nothing except impress." She certainly had a high opinion of herself, of that there was no doubt. Glancing at her sister, she hid a small smirk as she seemed to grow jealous. She would have to get used to that feeling, Luella was certain. At what her mother said next though, she blinked. "Mother, that--" She paused. "...I'm not going against what you say, but Hayley has absolutely no chance against Severius. Her mind will be utterly annihilated." She sighed, crossing her arms. "Though I suppose if I'm there, she has little to worry about." Though she wondered how well she would do against Severius... it would be an interesting engagement, that was for certain."I have no intention of letting you-" Ephraim managed to somehow force himself up onto his one knee, reaching forward...Luella raised her arm, slapping him backhandedly. There was a surprisingly huge amount of weight to her attack, causing Ephraim to be sent flying back and slamming into the wall. As Ephraim slowly raised his head, he felt a shoe press into his neck, as Luella was there, her arms crossed and a smirk on her features. " You're powerful. But you're nothing compared to me. I am perfection." Her smirking face and the feeling of her shoe at his neck was the last thing he would have before he finally fell unconscious. She stepped away, turning to her mother. " I made sure not to put too much force into it. Though honestly, even if I put everything into it, I have a feeling he would survive. "

    "If he proves to be difficult enough that you, Luella, feel there is no choice but to escape, then come home. But this is only if there is no hope in winning against him and you are absolutely sure. Fear can't be played in this game, we are going to show all of them who are on top. And it certainly isn't those fools! " Kruls attention went to Ephraim, the pathetic form of his struggling amused her to no end..but it also did other things...yeah.. "Hmm." She snickered as he fell unconscious by his precious daughter. The bond was strong, wasn't it? "I love everything you have done, Luella..You Are my perfect daughter..~" She would say into her mind, poor Hayley. She wouldn't hear the secret conversation between the two, but it was clear who was on Krul's favorite list!
After a moment, she began to walk toward Luella, waving on for Hayley to join them. As she did, the two girls would feel Kruls arms around both of their shoulders in a sort of..hug? "Now then, you have fun with them. I'll be throwing these two back where they belong, and then I will be heading to that area myself. I may have a plan for those two boys if they become to difficult. " May, she wasn't even sure if it was possible just yet. She would first have to pay a visit with a certain someone for a special item set.

Luella"Ah... thank you for your understanding, mother." Luella said with a small bow of her head. "Though I have no intention of bringing back any less than perfect results." Luella smiled, nodding. "We will show them how far below us they are, mother. We'll place this entire world firmly under your heel." Of that she seemed to have no doubt.
Thank you, mother. Your praise is all I could ever ask. She returned to her mother. And you're right--I am the the perfect daughter. She smirked, a satisfied look upon her face. For her mother to already recognize her perfection, it was elating. She blinked as her mother put her arms around them. ...What was she doing? ...She scanned her mind for a moment. "...H-hug?" She asked, her voice bewildered. The way she said it was actually kinda adorable, especially since she was such a knowledgeable young girl who talked in facts so much already. For her to stumble a bit about such a common thing was adorable. She slowly put an arm around her mother as well, smiling in spite of herself. What a warm, comforting feeling... "Of course, mother. Though I intend to have them all in chains by the time you arrive." She may be overestimating herself a bit, but who knew? She seemed to be quite the capable girl. Turning to her sister now, she crossed her arms. "Hayley, I need you to be able to follow my orders in the field. I am a tactical genius, and you're a mindless brute. Far stronger than most out there, which is why if you work with me, and allow me to decide where and when you channel that mindless force, we would have no trouble defeating anyone in our path." She smirked. "And of course, in case you ever have any trouble, I can boost your natural attributes to their roof potential. I don't think anyone could stop you in that case." ...Except maybe her, but she would keep that to herself. "We can be unstoppable, but you have to listen to me."(( OOC: ))

Krul's wicked smile returned to her features, how was this really so possible? It was as though she herself, couldn't believe such a perfect child could ever exist. But here she was, her own daughter. "Yes, as of expected of the greatest young Reaper to ever exist, my Luella-bear..I feel now, with you here, we will finally win this war against our mortal enemies, the Serenitians. It will just be the icing on the cake to take down and enslave the humans on that retched planet. Everything...will work now. All because of you." She seemed to REALLY be dotting on Luella, despite Hayley was right there, listening to her sister be praised like some God. It was...infuriating..Had Luella looked, she may even see that rage building up inside! But so would Krul..who turned to her, it wasn't hard to sense her other...daughters anger. "..You should be more like your sister, your maturity level is far below the levels I can withstand. As it is, you are just a child, trying to fit in and learn her abilities. But you are slower, and not impressing me as of yet.." Ouch. Was she doing this on purpose to push her into trying harder? Or just trying to hurt her? It was impossible to tell with Krul.
" ......" Why did her mother not find her at all impressive? She did handle Ephraim decently, probably better then a lot of others could ever manage! But apparently, it wasn't good enough. Was she mad because of her disobeying her when she told her to stop feeding off of him? And her sister.. "....No! " She hissed out, golden eyes seeming to fade in and out of crimson red, to golden again.. "I'm going to do what mother wanted me to do, by my self! I don't need your perfect skills to win against these so-called siblings. These...fakes..! You just watch, i'm going to start this battle right NOW! Before they even know what's happened! " She didn't wait for Krul, or Luella to insult her by treating her as the most useless Reaper there ever was. She would show them by getting there first, and taking first surprise before they were able to prepare. Just like that, Hayley vanished from the Reaper's realm, her next destination...the cottage house of Ephraim and his families...

Luella"Oh, mother, thank you so much. Your praise is so grand. But I do deserve it. And I have every intention of delivering the results you expect. Perfection. As you would expect, being your daughter." It seemed the only one Luella thought was more perfect than herself was her mother. "Serenitians and humans alike will kneel before you." What a glorious empire they would make, Luella was certain. "Including that god child... the one that's given you trouble before..." She smirked slightly. "Give me a bit of time, of course... but I think I might have a plan to deliver him to you." She had yet to test her powers fully of course, but she certainly seemed to have grand ideas. As her mother seemed to tell Hayley that she was inferior, Luella seemed a bit satisfied. Though in a way, she did feel a bit guilty too. She didn't know Hayley at all yet aside from her being her sister, but they WERE sisters... Still, she wondered how much bonding they could really do, all things considered.
"What? Hayley, if you act rash-" And she was gone... "...Ugh! How is THAT my twin sister?" She shook her head. "All the space that was supposed to fill her head was distributed to her breasts and a** instead I guess!" She sighed, turning to her mother and giving her a small bow. "I will take my leave now. I'll see to it that Hayley doesn't get exterminated." And a moment later, she vanished in a black mist..."....Heheh..." Krul would hear chuckling from... Ephraim... His resilience was no joke, it seemed. "Keep pushing her away Krul... and she'll come to me." He coughed, still in pain and unable to move. "They both will, when they realize you're only using them... When they want a real family..." Especially Hayley though, he could already see her being easier to convince. Luella might be harder, since she was clearly a favorite of Krul's.(( OOC: ))

 "Truly incredible, you are. To so quickly think of a solution to finally put him to his knees, in front of us...I can hardly wait for the moment. " Of all the times she had tried and failed, maybe it was all up to Luella to bring him to her. For some reason, she didn't doubt her.
"..." Even Krul had to have a bit of a sense to laugh at her daughters crude comment. There weren't many jokes she found all that amusing, but that one, she clearly had a laugh at. "Mmhmm. Come back safely.." How much of that she really meant, was even undetectable by Luella, or maybe it was due to her mind being so filled with her mother's love for her and the constant praise, she had no reason to read into her mind.
And soon, it was just the two of them. "I think not, her mind is weak. Possibly the weakest of all of the Reapers here, she will do anything to please me. Anything. The more I push her away, the colder I am to her, the harder she will try until she gets it right. Eventually, I trust that she will be victorious against her enemies. So long as she has me to look up to and desperately try to empress, she will never go to you. " She paused, looking him with an amused smirk. "You really believe after all you've heard Luella say, that she would ever leave me? She is where she belongs, and it is not with you. " She walked toward him where he rested, he was so beaten and in such pain, a pleasing sight for the twisted Reaper's eyes. Lowering to him, she reached down to grab him by the collar of his shirt and easily lifted him up. Yeah, the short pink haired woman could pick a man much taller then herself up. Super human strength was great sometimes. "Be fearful, my pet..With the results of our little fun time, I can't stop what we started now. We need to have many, many more of these fine results.." It wasn't but a moment before Ephraim would find himself in the same room, a slightly destroyed room at that, with a still perfectly good bed minus the broken poles. She was quickly on top of the king, straddling him as she lowered a little closer.."But this time, were going to change it up a bit. We might get even better results if YOUR more into it. " Now, she didn't mean she wanted him to be like Kaden and cater to her every word like a sweet little puppy, she just wanted him to take control. And with that, as her eyes met his, he would feel his own eyes unable to look away, the glow of her crimson red eyes became much more intense, and he would feel his mind being toyed with. A sudden change of heart, and one without a mermaid in it, all he would now see as his most precious love was the girl sitting on top of him. She and he were one, together, and very much in love. Krul would go to crazy measures to get what she wanted, even if she didn't care for him in the slightest.

 ___ ___ __ _________  ___ ___ "Trust me, I don't pick fights I can't win." "That's a pretty flawed plan..." Ephraim said. "But that's fine with me. Continue making mistakes. It'll just make it all the easier for me." He chuckled a bit, coughing. "Luella is a smart girl. She'll see through you soon. Unless you actually do care for them... which I find hard to believe." After what he had seen with Kaden and Thana before. "Ngh..." He grunted weakly as he was lifted by the tiny Reaper girl, so effortlessly, while his body was limp. "Being defeated by you, then my own daughter... honestly, being lifted up so easily by you is probably more humiliating than either." She was a strong girl, that much was obvious.
In the next moment, he would find his back once again against the lush bedding, with the tiny queen atop him, straddling him. He let out a groan. There was nothing he could do, once again. He looked up at her satisfied face as it lowered closer. Her eyes... were so mesmerizing. He couldn't look away. In the next moment, his hands slowly raised up, caressing her face lovingly...
Then they gripped her face tighter, and he would put a good deal of his remaining strength into slamming his skull into hers. He collapsed back onto his back afterwards, due to the condition he was in. It was unlikely he could escape--she probably wouldn't even be knocked off him. But it was to prove a point. "Don't try that nonsense on me--I won't be toyed with." He could take satisfaction in that much at least. "None of you have the power to dominate my mind..." (( OOC: ))

"I only care what will bring me the most luck and victory. Kaden and Thana were not those things, you however, and those daughters of ours, will bring much victory to the Reapers once and for all.." So that basically meant, she didn't care as much as she should, and was still only just using the girls for her own agenda's.
It was then, that she had him back in the room, where she would attempt to play with his mind a bit. Krul wasn't stupid, however, she expected some resistance. And as his head made impact with hers, he would feel as if that situation had reversed, and she was the one that hit him. Instead, she let show a faint violet in color aura that surrounded her body, before it faded again. "Nice try, but you just nearly knocked yourself out instead. Did you think I wasn't prepared for some trick from you? Although, the fact that your struggling against me now, really brings further enjoyment.." She grinned down at him. "Is that a challenge, dear? " She said in a lowly, suggestive voice.
Reaching toward his wrists, he would feel them pinned down effortlessly, before a all to familiar pain struck his neck. "I will dominate your mind, your body, everything of yours..will be mine. You will never escape this nightmare. "

"Hmm? What was that? Are you trying to be soft and hopeful again? Let's not do that. It will be a cold day in hell before I turn to becoming some weak minded fool with emotions to take me down. "
At what he said next, she grinned down at him, almost a sort of knowingly smile. "Oh, I know. You don't have to hint to me that you are secretly a masochist. It's just so much fun, isn't it? Don't worry.I'll be sure to cause you all that much more pain this time. "
Which started when she sank her fangs into him.

    Low and behold, the uninteresting daughter of Krul's, would arrive. But not alone, and also not with as many as Krul might of hoped for. With Florete at her side, she had them appear first in the dungeons, where Krul was likely to have put her prisoner after...things were finished. Though she wasn't sure which cell held Ephraim, she would quickly begin to search as quietly as possible. "......" With a little concentration, she attempted to locate his presence using her special abilities, it came with being part Reaper. Probably the only good thing she would get from the line of evil here.
It seemed to be empty down the halls, surprisingly. They must have all been still enjoying their party! She walked on, closing in on his presence quickly..
It wasn't but several minutes before Hayley would come across the cell her father was held in, again, chained to the back wall with iron cuffs around his wrists. ".....H-hi...? " Oh, god, now that was the BEST greeting ever. What was she to say to the person she was so horrible to while under the influence of Kruls word? This was..complicated! "..I'm not here to hurt you.." Well, that was at least better then a stupid greeting! One moment she was standing there, and the next, she had teleported past the bars, and into the cell it self. "I'm sorry..I..really don't know what to say..? " She was so nervous.. "Florete....it's all thanks to him that I'm here, he told me everything.." She began to say as she reached for the cuffs that held him, with a little effort, she was able to find small gaps between the cuff, before she would completely rip the two pieces apart off one hand. Her strength was at least some help here. She quickly went to the next, and the two cuffs attached to the chains would be off of him..
"...And one more thing..Here.." She seemed to summon a familiar spear to her hand, his most prized possession, likely. He left Siegmund back at home before leaving, and who to find it there but her when she was in the process of defeating everyone? ...Of course.

_______________________"Trust me, I don't pick fights I can't win.""......." Ephraim had his head hung, pretending to be unconscious, but a trained eye could see that his hand was... picking... the lock on the brace around his arm. Now, did Ephraim, the King of Renais know how to pick locks? ...No. No, not even remotely. But was that going to stop him from trying? Of course not. "Hh, this is so bothersome. Colm always twisted it like... this..." ....That seemed to do nothing. "....But Rennac would always..." ...Again, nothing. "Agh, blast it." He was not meant for common thievery, he had decided.
Then came the voice, as he raised his head. ""Ah, hello. Hayley, wasn't it? I hope you've realized the truth about Krul already." ...Actually, from her demeanor, it seemed she had. "....Oh. That was easy. I didn't even have to do anything." Krul must have been a worse mother than he imagined. Though as she began to free him, she explained. ".......Florete." He seemed in severe disbelief. "You must not have gotten this person's name correctly. Florete is the name of a guy who looks like a girl. He's quite a troublemaker." He seemed very certain that she was thinking of someone else.
As he was freed, he stood, stretching a bit. "Useless thing." He tossed the "lockpick" to the side. Then, likely a surprise to her, Hayley would feel an arm around her, as Ephraim pulled her into a small hug. "Don't worry about what happened, Hayley. You're my daughter, and I love you no matter what." He smiled down at her. "I'm glad you've seen through your mother's lies. I hope that you can get used to having a fish for a mother." ......Ah, Azura.... he was not looking forward to explaining this to her. ...Then again, that dark form of hers was extremely sexy... Letting go of her now, Ephraim spoke. "We'll discuss that outfit of yours later." Yeah, he didn't seem to like her exposed skin very much. Wonder why. Though Florete loved it, so.... that was going to be a clash.
Taking the Siegmund from her, he twirled the spear a bit. Ah yes, the Sacred Spear of Flame. The power the weapon held never ceased to amaze him every time he wielded it. "My thanks. This will come in handy." He lowered it. "'We must go to see Krul. You have another sister..." He sighed. "I am really not looking forward to telling Azura all this..." Just imagining how sad she would be crushed him. The anger he could take, but the sadness was different. "I hope she can find it in herself to forgive me." Even though this clearly wasn't his fault, he still felt guilty in a way. "But that must come later. You, your twin and this sister--I won't let any of you grow up with that monster. If you would rather leave now and not have to face Krul, feel free to. I know it must not be easy." Of course, if she wanted to come, he wasn't going to stop her.Meanwhile, the poor, poor fool of a dungeon mistress was in Autumn's cell, taunting her. And she kept being suggestive, like she intended to do things to her. Bad things...
...She would regret that. A certain blonde walked up to the cell quietly, hearing her berate and insult Autumn, calling her a failure and a nobody who would never escape. She laughed.
He laughed."...?!" She flinched, turning towards the voice. "Who's there?!" That wasn't Ephraim's voice, and there shouldn't be other males here..."Mm, you poor, poor helpless fool." Florete stepped forward, leaning against the bars with a smirk. "Is that my sister you're insulting?""............" The girl started to tremble. "....F-F-Florete.... i-it's so good to see you! Y-you look lovely as ever! No, no no no, she and I were just becoming friends! Isn't that right? Autumn? FRIEND?! Yes! I was just, er, going to break her out even! Krul be damned! Autumn is my FRIEND! Just like you, Florete! We're friends, right? RIGHT?" The desperation in her voice was so... pathetic. Especially after how much she had been taunting and gloating towards Autumn, like she was lower than trash. She quickly undid the braces around Autumn's hands, freeing her. "There! See?! I'm on your side!""Aww, I guess it was all just a misunderstanding~" Florete stepped forward, phasing through the bars of the cell eerily. "What a kind girl you are, to want to help my sister like that. You know what else could use your help?" He pointed at a large concrete block nearby. He spoke again, his voice laced with his Charm ability. "That can only be made beautiful with your help. It would appreciate if you rammed your face into it for all eternity~" The girl wasted no time--like a puppet on Florete's strings, she hurried over to the concrete, slamming her face into it. ....Multiple times. In fact, she showed no signs of stopping, even as her nose began to bleed, and was very clearly broken. She did this with no inhibition--she didn't hold back whatsoever with every strike.
"What a nice girl." Florete said sarcastically, looking down at his sister, he grinned. "Aww, my adorable ditzy witch is free again. You're looking so cute as always~" He opened his arms to her. "Come--give your beautiful brother a big hug!" He was basically messing with her, obviously expecting her to avoid doing anything of the such, as his sisters were never really very... affectionate with him. Understandably so! He wasn't the most approachable person.(( OOC: ))

For a moment there, there stood a puzzled Hayley. Right from the start, he was being so gentle and kind to her. She had really expected a much more cautious behavior, even a little anger towards her. But it was nothing like she had worried about these last few moments. ".....Florete was right.." Hayley said softly, thinking back on all of those kind words he had to say about Ephraim, and seeing him here now, despite his situation, he was still so nice to her. Slowly, a smile began to return to her face. The smile she showed most in Florete's presence, the gentle, adorable smile Hayley pulled off so cutely. But now her smiling face was directed at the father she would only now begin to get to really know.. "..Nuh uh. No mistake! ...Florete is wonderful, it's because of him that I am free of being used as mothers tool..You..should try to see the good in him too, he thinks very highly of you and..your family..It would make me very happy to see everyone accept him more. He's told me his family and yours are very close in the future..but this is now, and .....there is room for anyone who treated him badly to really know what good he has in him.." That was an awfully lot said in defense of the boy everyone seemed so fearful of, everyone but her.
The next moment she found herself in a unexpected, gentle hug. At first, he might feel her tense up slightly, she was still getting used to this. Although she trusted him, there was still that slight, faint worry at the back of her mind that made her tense and worry. But it only really was just a moment before she felt the warmth and the comfort she had missed from Krul. When she looked up at him to see his smiling face it was becoming obvious where that smile of hers came from.
"..Um..." Hearing him say he would love her no matter what, and experiencing a true, loving hug got her thinking, and suddenly a feeling of guilt came over her. "...No matter what..? But, I hurt your family..We both did..T-that's how I met Florete..If he didn't stop me, I'm not sure what might of come of them..." She refereed them as his family, because as it was, she didn't see herself as so connected to them, not right now. Not after everything! "I'm sorry....Someday I will find a way to make it up to everyone, I don't think a simple sorry will do...well enough.." Right now he may not of believed she really hurt anyone, with the confidence he likely had in the retainers and his little family.
But, this wasn't really the time to talk about these things, it would be pretty terrible to become locked in here by some trick of Krul's, and knowing her, she probably had her plans and traps. After he took Siegmund from her as she offered it to him, she nodded slightly, her hand coming to rest on his arm for just a moment before she would teleport them both outside of the cell. "..What?? ...Oh..." Gosh, she really couldn't think of words to say to that. It just proved how completely terrible her mother was. "..Mm,of course i'm going to come with you..I want her to know, she has no more hold over me..and that i'm leaving here too. " She glanced down the hall way, where she could feel Florete's presence, likely helping his sister.. "...Um, Florete's here too..We came together, so he could find his sister.." Which he seemed to have done...very well, frighteningly well..
"....." Autumn had her eyes closed the entire time the woman had decided she wanted to mes with her, as if closing her eyes would block her disgusting mouth, not seeing her hidious form helped a little, but didn't really stop the fear she had in the back of her mind. Reapers were known for being horrible, terrible creatures for a reason. If she ignored her, maybe she would just go away. It didn't seem to be helping unfortunately.
And that's when her eyes suddenly snapped open, her frantic eyes setting on a single blond figure..! This was...not who she expected to see, it was no lie that she often thought he maybe didn't care about the family, he wasn't around all that much, but maybe there was more deeper reasoning for that, she herself really had to think about. It didn't take long for, a terrible scene to come from this rescue of his, which she tried to ignore and NOT look at. "..Florete.." She said softly, was that..happy, or was she not happy to see him at all? As she slowly got to her feet, she would rest her hand against the wall for a moment. Loss of blood from hungry Reapers was not a lot of fun to experience! She looked at her brother, taking a step toward him....
Only to suddenly leap into his arms! He may feel the weight of her body as heavier then normal, she was still fairly weakend, after all. She was no Ephraim, that much was obvious! She continued to hold onto him for the longest time, showing no signs to let go! This was most certainly something he may never of experienced before with any of his siblings, but maybe Sarah,she was to sweet. "I'm so happy to see you..I was so scared! I thought..for sure, they had won...That we would never get out of here.." For them to be trapped here for so many days, it very well seemed like that was true. It never took but a few hours if any, for someone to show up when the Reapers struck. Autumn wasn't one to show this side of her emotions, always trying to be so brave! But it wasn't very hard to figure out for anyone around her that she wasn't as fully brave as she may of wanted to be. Reapers just seemed to terrify her to no end. They were like terrible, living ghosts! They just never went away, and always tried to mess with the Serenitian families. But now, in this time, it almost seemed like they were even worse, even so much as going after humans to feed on. Why was it so bad here?

_______________________"Trust me, I don't pick fights I can't win."Ah, that smile. It reminded him so much of Eirika. Actually, this girl's face very much resembled his sister's. Fortunate for her, as Eirika was such a beautiful young princess. "You remind me of my sister." He patted her on the head. At her next words, he tilted his head slightly. "I suppose it must be him. Well, we'll just cross that bridge when we get there." He wasn't exactly against giving Florete a chance--he was a close friend to his children, and had saved Alistair's life on more than one occasion.
Ephraim shook his head. "Don't worry about that now, Hayley. You didn't know better--you were just trying to impress that horrid mother of yours. But now you do, and they'll see that. Besides, if anything, this can be a wake-up call for them to actually train more." He felt like he was the only one in the family who understood how important it was! Reiner was not interested because he thought he was "good enough," and Alistair barely did any fighting at all. Elcrest was the only one he knew trained regularly. "They're not as spiteful as you may think. I don't think any of them could hold a grudge to save their life." Just as Florete had told her, they were all too nice and well-behaved to not accept a sincere apology.
"Good. With any luck, I can put an end to Krul today." Killing her seemed next to impossible at this point, but who knew? "Is he? Well, let's go join him, then.""Me." Florete said in response to her saying his name. He seemed to enjoy doing that when people said his name. "What a surprise! Here I came all this way, and you're not happy to see-" He began saying this jokingly, as he enjoyed everyone being so afraid of him, but then she... jumped into his arms. Huh. That was unexpected. But hey, it wasn't so bad. "['b]Ahahaha...." He patted her head as she clinged to him so desperately. "Now that's a change." He said as she said she was happy to see him. "Don't be silly, Autumn~ don't you remember those times you ended up on the moon? And the bottom of the ocean? Who's the one who aaaaalways drags you out? Your cool, cute brother of course~" He grinned. "I would never let my adorable, ditzy sister stay in danger for a long time. And you're so scared..." He continued to smile, though his teeth were gritting, like he was... very, very angry. "Mm, I don't like to see my sister scared of anyone but me~" He said this through gritted teeth. Yeah, he was not happy. "Krul is gonna pay~" If Krul could ever experience fear, now would be the time.
Florete held Autumn's arm as he exited the cell, only to see his little lover with her father coming towards them. "Oh, Hayley, I feel like we've been away from each other for too long~" .....It was like, less than a minute, but okay. "Good to see you again, Ephraim~""...Likewise." He said."Hayley will need a retainer, right? I think I'm perfect for the job~ don't you agree? Say yes~" His last words were laced with his Charm abilities, of course."..." Ephraim just... stared blankly at him. "That's not going to work on me." Poor Florete. "There'll be time to decide that later. For now, I think it's time we show Krul that she's lost.""Couldn't agree more~" He turned to Autumn. "You need to rest." He leaned towards her, giving her a small kiss on the cheek, which caused her to warp out of the realm and to her bed. She was obviously in no condition to help them here.
He turned to face the other two now, putting his hands to his hips. "Well! Shall we? Krul's in her throne room. Of course, once we show up, it'll probably attract every Reaper in the realm. But that's fine with me. More toys makes things more fun!""Alright." Ephraim gripped Siegmund. "They won't stand a chance." Considering he could kill most of them with any regular spear, yeah, they definitely weren't going to be in the best position. "The three of us can handle this fine. If it starts to look bad, one of you can simply warp us out." So, no risk, maximum reward. Just how he liked it. "Let's go!" He began to lead the two now, towards Krul's throne room...(( OOC: ))

Hayley blinked up at him, her cute, curious eyes so filled with such innocence that no matter what she did, it just made her all that much more adorable. "..You have a sister too? ..Do you get along nicely? Or do you fight..? " She seemed to be quite curious. She had heard Florete's relationship with his family as he told her, in all his cute evilness, that it was completely normal to fight with them! But now, she wanted to know her fathers, what his relationship was like with his own sister. "I think Luella and I don't get along so well..Is that normal? "
"..." Even after she told him what she had done, he was still..soo...nice?! It almost didn't seem normal. Then again, did she really know what normal was? ..Suddenly, Ephraim would feel something latch onto his arm, as the teal-haired, smiling face of Hayley kind of hugged him like that. "You really are nice! And so understanding...T-thank you..! I'm so grateful.." And that was no joke, she really, truly was. For all the time she had worried he wouldn't take it so well, as most likely wouldn't..Ephraim was understanding, she really had nothing to worry about...at least, not with him anymore. The next step, the hardest step, would be meeting those she had so much fun beating up...She was so not looking forward to that part.
Yes, she may of gotten the surprise on him this time. It was unfortunately true, she didn't do this kind of thing often, and it wasn't as if their family was so distant or hateful to one another, they DID hang out with the worlds most perfect family, after all. Like Florete, she probably didn't show how much she cared for everyone, as much as she should have. She loved everyone of her siblings, and Florete was one of them, despite how he may of felt.
As she slowly pulled away after several moments, Autumn found herself blushing a little. "...I-Is it strange?...I know we don't show much interest in little things like hugs, um....Were..pretty distant, aren't we? I'm sorry..." This was one heck of a day for Florete, First Hayley chipping the ice of emotions he didn't know he had, and now, Autumn was starting to see how apart they really were! "When everything has calmed down after a while..can we maybe hang out? Even if its for a short time. I want to talk to you..." Because now was not the time to have a deep conversation..
When he mentioned her...most impossible, hilariously sad accidents, Autumn had to turn away for a moment, her face redder. "...Y-yeah, well...I mean, those were...t-training exercises..that kind of went a little to off the charts..Magic is...tricky, and dangerous...Thats why I will never attempt another teleportation spell again. " That sounded about right!
"..? Florete? " She blinked at him. "..Are you..angry? " It wasn't something she ever seen from him really, he hid his emotions from the world so often. It made her smile a little. "...Heehe, you do care, my cute dear brother..! " She..hugged him again, though this time it was much more playful, almost teasingly! "I hope you make her pay, lots..! Oh, but maybe with less harshness? I mean, no..blood this time? " She wasn't even going to look at the Reaper who was likely a terrible sight.
As Hayley walked toward Florete and Autumn, she was still smiling, even more so when Florete joked about them being gone for to long, even though it was really just that minute! She hurried over to him, only to...slip her arm around his now. It was like magic, her smile turned into the brightest beaming face ever. "Mm! Any moment were apart is to long..He,he.." One could just see the blank stare Autumn was suddenly giving them. That wasn't even discrete! Of course, sweet Hayley didn't really know the ways of the world yet, and part of them was being not so obvious with her lover around family that had absolutely no idea of their little relationship. So, she really was just acting completely innocent, and truthful!
"..Oh, I love that idea.." She clinged to him a little more. "No one else can be..!....Wait..." She blinked, a sudden, puzzled look crossed her face. "..What's a retainer? ........I've been wondering that since I heard of them...."
Autumn suddenly began to giggle...Nice, she wasn't the only ditzy one around anymore! A moment later, and Autumn would find herself teleported out of the realm, to her bed. There wasn't much she could do to avoid that!
Finally, they would begin their way for Krul's throne room..
It would take them several minutes to arrive there, and sure enough, there was Krul, sitting almost..boredly on the chair of her throne. Was she even awake? She seemed to be sleeping. That was hardly the threatening appearance of a Reaper Queen. Had they walked in more, it wouldn't be until the group made there way toward her throne, before suddenly, they weren't quite so alone anymore..
Completely surrounding them, were just about every Reaper as Florete guessed. Though it was safe to say, it wasn't REALLY all of them. She wasn't stupid enough to lose all her Reapers like that..
