Amanae tried to get her emotions under control, but couldn't seem to do so. For the second time in one evening, she was actually on the verge of tears, and she could count the times that she had cried in her entire life on her fingers. It had just been so frightening to snap out of it and realize that she'd possessed basically no control over her actions for a good two minutes. She hadn't been Amanae, during that time; she had been a puppet, a doll that had been delighted to be manipulated. This concept was just too disturbing for words.
Just as she was about to reach Alexander, which would have at least given her something to think about other than... that... Another young woman swept in and took him away. Amanae stopped, staring at the near-empty bottle that she had placed back onto the table, and then slowly turned back to face the rest of the ballroom. It was packed with people who were laughing and enjoying themselves. Nearby, a certain prince danced with Lady Allina. "I have got to get out of here," she said softly.

"I'mz nat old...Jast foll ins years..."
Alexander didn't know what was happening right now, he thought he was floating, so he started acting like he was.
"Looks at mae, I'mz flyin."
Alexander didn't want to go, he wanted to dance at the party still, but this lady he faintly remember was carrying him away from the excitement. In Alexander's mind, all he saw was when he looked at Henna was a faceless woman, staring at him with, but yet not having eyes.
"Lady Henna has na face! Na face..."
In truth Alexander would view this as degrading, but he was far too busy being drunk at the moment to care about dignity. Alexander focused himself a bit and looked towards where they were going. The bad part about being a Tou was how quickly aftermaths came up after drinking and they hit twice as hard.
"I'ma sleepies naw, sleepes...Ya's health is'd low, da ya have aneez potions?"
Alexander closed his eyes, too exhausted from the wine in his system to stay awake any longer. In all the commotion with the wine, Alexander had dropped his hat somewhere, probably by his violin. It wouldn't be missed; Alexander would have just burnt it with the rest of the costume. Alexander was soon out like a light, dreaming of riches and sharing those riches with the people that he had become friends with today. What a day it was, from being rude turning to friendship, meeting a Princess, and finally getting to achieve better things. The whole wine drinking was only a tiny smudge on today’s legacy for Alexander, everything else was a golden memory.

Henna ignored his drunken speech. She was careful to not drop him and by the time he was asleep they were just outside her rooms. She closed the door quietly behind them, and walked though her work room, and into the room that served as her sleeping chamber. She set him on her bed, taking care not to wake him. Once she was sure he was okay, she walked back into the work room and stitched together a pair of soft pajamas, in a pale blue color the pants held up with just a draw string. Very quietly she walked back into her room and started to undress her little Tou. His scratchy clothed costume must have been unbearable to sleep in. she had his shirt off in no time wand was buttoning up the front of his pajamas before there was a knock at her door. A servant had come carrying a wash bin and soaps. She thanked him and pulled the curtains around the bed so that Alex would be in the dark while she washed and got herself ready for the night to come.

 Jewlet stood up from the stone table and headed up to the upper court yard. She sighed thinking maybe Grant was already at the dinner. She slowly made her way up the steps and as always she counted each step. Now she had reached to first floor and found that many people crowded the area. Keeping her cool, she went in and stayed along the walls wher it was less crowded. She sreached the floor for Grant, but no such luck. She saw Niro and wondered if he knew, but she got the feeling he mit not.

Grant had yet to see Jewlet pass by the front gate and the party had begun. If he didn't get in there soon people mite begin to wonder. He hated the thought of missing her at the front gate but he had to make his usual dull rounds so Grant made his way inside. Climbing the steps to the upper courtyard Grant took a deep breath and then put on his usual facade. Greeting people as he walked he made his way to his usual spot by the food. Grabbing some small finger foods and putting them on a small plate Grant looked around the hall wile keeping an ear out for Jewlet's voice.

As Prince Ric spoke amongst the members of the court, he spotted the Captain of the guards enter the room. Standing from his seat, the crowned Prince made his way over to the Neko, "Captain Grant, there is something that I wish to discuss with you."

Hearing the prince. Grant looked to see Prince Rick coming his way. As he approached Grant bowed slightly. "Prince, How can i be of assistance?" Grant knew that if he couldn't get the respect of the counsel his best bet was to get Prince Ricks. If he had Ricks respect then when he was king Grant could get propper funding as well as other things that the counsel didn't feel Grant needed like knowing when royalty arrives so he can boost defenses.

"As you know my Father's condition is growing worse. I would appreciate it if you could increase security around his room and limit the persons allowed access to myself and the royal medic," the Prince told the man. The thought of keeping his brothers away was horrible, but to allow them to see their father in his current condition, that was a far worse horror.

Jewlet leaned against the wall with her hands in front of her. Then she spotted Grant. She made her way around the room. A little unsure about this, she said in a low voice. "Sir Grant?" She looked at him and forced out a smile. 'Smile, be happy- like mother.' She told herself over and over again in her head. 'I can... this isn't an order, so... no.' She stopped herself form thinking negitive thoughts and then pushed the thoughts away. She straighted up her mind and cleared her head.

"Prince, I'm not sure if this is the time or the place." Grant was surprised at this request. He couldn't think of denying anyone the ability to see their father no matter what the circumstances. "May we talk about this in my office tomorrow?" Grant asked respectfully. He then noticed a familiar voice. "Pardon Prince Rick, Grant turned to see Jewlet nearby.
Grant was almost as surprised by how Jewlet looked as when the prince asked him to keep the rest of the family from seeing his father. Grants eyes widened in amazement before he could even crack a smile. Though the smile came soon after. "J, Jewlet." Grant said fumbling over his words a bit. Remembering his manners Grant turned to the prince slightly. "Uh, Jewlet. I'd like you to prince the meet, wh I, mean meet the Prince." Grants face was starting to turn red as his tail slowed down a bit. Good one idiot Grant thought to himself.

The Prince was not altogether pleased that the Captain had snubbed his request, but with a lady present, now was not the time to argue. "A pleasure," Ric spoke up, kissing the young lady's hand politely.
