(oh right >< sorry)
Rosa giggled nodding. "Yes I suppose so." she said softly smiling some then listened looking to the guys then to her and stood, following her out, she was hungry. Rosa blushed as her stomach growled as she walked up to Lyssandra. "Thank you for offering me a meal. I am hungry." She laughed softly smiling, walking beside her. "Hope they don't get into too much trouble."

"I've not seen this side to Trogan in many years..." Lyssandra rolled her eyes as she led Rosa back up to the castle, "I can only wonder what trouble they might get into..." she chuckled, bowing her head as a guard greeted them on the door.   Trogan quickly found where the boy had landed, having learnt his tracking skills from a much earlier age... The next thing was where he'd gone... Hearing the scampering of feet he turned towards the sound, stepping to the side as one of the guard hounds darted past him; thinking it must have been startled, he headed the way it had come, pausing as another ran past from the opposing direction... Starting to suspect something was up, he let his senses do the work for him and stood stock still, listening to every movement within his hearing range... Another rush of footsteps and Trogan dropped, scooping up the hound by the collar as it moved to run past him... "Return to sender." he mused, setting the dog back down before following it on its return journey... Tala had found a small clearing amongst the walkways and was sitting amongst a handful of guard hounds, all watching the boy obediently whilst waiting for their next order... Trogan wasn't sure how to approach the boy, but held back as Tala rose to his feet, waving away the hounds, some of which scattered to the four winds whilst two or thee remained behind... "Let me guess..." he stood a few feet from the boy, "You can talk to the animals...right?""Something like that." Tala mused, petting the heads of two of the three dogs as they nuzzled up to him... "Perhaps we might pause for lunch?" Trogan couldn't understand how the hounds, trained to pin down any stranger lurking in their gardens would appear so obedient towards one whom they'd never met... "Perhaps." He waved away the remaining hounds before waiting for the King to move off before following...

(aw that so sweet father and son bonding)
A maid would giggle watching Tala and King Trogan standing off to the side in her maid uniform. When they would both come into sight she'd giggle curtsying with bowing her head. "Hello! How are you both? If you would like I can have it prepared so you may eat here in the gardens or in any place you choose." She said cheerfully smiling softly to both Tala and Trogan.
Her dark hair was pulled back half way, her mood cheerful and friendly. The gardener snipping flowers chuckled. "Don't mind her. She tries so hard to get people to eat out here." The gardener said chuckling, wiping his brow with his arm to get the sweat from his forehead off. She looked to him pouting folding her arms.
"But your flowers are just so pretty. It's no fair people ignore them." she said with a small whine and he chuckled shaking his head.
"Yes but you can't make them. Besides, in case you forgot again the King is your boss." The gardener reminded her in a playful tone. The maid jumped and turned slowly to look at Trogan and jumped again, fixing her dress and curtsied.
"Of course it up to you and Tala where to eat." She said quickly giving a nervous laugh, scratching the back of her head, trying to play her pushing off before as nothing.

Tala tilted his head when the maid said his name, wondering where she had heard it mentioned, he would look her up and down, then his eyes would glance at the gardener before he would approach the flowers the man had been tending... He would poke one of the flowers curiously, having only seen animated flowers in Sune... "It doesn't fight back." he tilted his head, "Do they glow in the darkness?" he looked to the gardener, hoping he would have some idea as to what he was tending... "I think we might avoid eating in the garden today." Trogan carefully placed a guiding hand on his son's shoulder before leading him towards the door, "Maybe next time..."Tala couldn't understand why the King had led him away, but didn't say anything and made sure to move away from the man's touch once they were inside...

The maid nodded. "Oh okay." She said curtsying. The gardener chuckled nodding and continued his work.
"To your question guest of the castle, it is a Moonlight Rose, very rare flower that does glow at night. They say at night it is helping guide souls of the dead but I think it just because it feeds off moonlight most than it does sunlight or because it collect sunlight and then release that sunlight at night as it turns it into food to live." The gardener said and laughed. "Oh they don't fight back or bite, well all but the venus fly traps of course. They will bite but they don't hurt less you're a fly of course." He found this amusing and humorous.
The maid watched pouting getting after the gardener, making him laugh as she scolded him. She had been flirting some with Tala, finding him cute and blaming the gardener of messing it up. When asked if she had chores this caused her to give a short scream and to race back into the castle, having forgotten she had laundry to do. The gardener simply laughed and shook his head sighing and returned to his work.
Rosa was with the queen and sighed softly, enjoying the meal they had before them. "This is just as good as at the Ice Lands castle. It's also as good as Tala's cooking. He does so great with cooking fish and meat." She complimented sipping her drink some.

 "He cooks as well?" Lyssandra had to admit she was quite surprised at her son't abilities, even after his apparently solitude in Sune... "We try to gather foods that appeal to most of our guest's tastes, I guessed you would appreciate something from home..." She didn't want to mention that food from the Ice Lands was in short supply, seeing as though the Darkness seemed to have enveloped much of the land now... "I wonder how Trogan and Talakhan are doing..." she rested her chin on her hand, poking her meal with the fork in her other hand... "It feels so strange to think that our son has returned...I still can't get over it..."

Rosa nodded softly. "Must be odd having your son back. Um...Talakhan? Is that Tala's full name? It sounds like a nice name." Rosa complimented, smiling. She noticed how the queen was poking her food and felt bad some.
"Are you alright? You sure it's okay that I be here with Tala?" She asked gently, not wanting to be a bother by being there if they wanted time alone with Tala. "If you would like time with Talakhan alone I can always go look around the market or I can stay at an Inn or something." Rosa offered, not wanting to put anyone out or be a bother there.

"It is a little strange..." Lyssandra hadn't realised she'd used the boy's full name and lifted her eyes to look at Rosa, "Whatever you wish to do is fine," she nodded, "We can't force you to stay if that's how it feels...?" She knew she'd turned the girl's words, but she didn't want to feel as though they were stopping Rosa from wandering freely... "We would happily pay for your residence in town, or keep you a room here if you feel enclosed...but maybe it might be worth me speaking to my son... if Trogan has finished with him..." she chuckled, wondering what the pair were up to now...

Rosa blinked nodding. "Well I just didn't want to be a bother to you both and plus I didn't know what Tala would think or feel. I did ask him if he could give you both a chance and get to know you both slowly because he's not used to being around others much as you know. It took him time to get used to Caran the Red Mage and at times he's still getting used to me. Um....I wonder where the training area is so I might try and use the power I have. I haven't trained it at all before so I'm unsure how to even summon it except for what I've read in a book an old man gave me in a town we first visited."
Rosa explained giving a nervous laugh and sighed thinking she sounded like a rambling food just now.

"Oh! Of course!" Lyssandra nodded, "I was so engrossed with how well those two were getting on it had slipped my mind,"Finished with her meal anyway, Lyssandra would offer to show Rosa to the training quarters - mostly frequented by guards and soldiers eager to heighten their skills, "I tend not to come hear a lot myself, but I'm sure there'll be someone around to lend you a hand should you need it," she bowed her heard to the men and women as they greeted her upon arrival, "We also have a library which you are more than welcome to use," she nodded, watching a pair as they sparred against one another...

Rosa stood following and nodded. "Thank you so much Queen Lyssandra." She said happily, looking around as they would come to the training area. She watched the guards and bowed her head to those who acknowledged them, watching with curious eyes then looked towards the library nodding.
"Thank you, that's very kind of you. I promise to make use of it as well. If anyone knows how to use magic that might help. Mother knew how but she hadn't shown me because the power must be used by the person without training during the ceremony but..." Rosa said trailing off then shook her head taking a breath and sighed.
She looked around, softly folding her hands on her lap it being habit still in her traveling clothing she had picked out with Tala. "Anyway, I was just curious because if I'm to use it and defeat the Demon King then I'll need to know what I'm doing so not to hurt myself or another. I started to use it once with Tala but I couldn't control it. According to a book from the old man it's tied with my heart and emotions and the stronger the emotion the stronger the power but the type of emotion that is dominating will determine if the power is pure or tainted when used." Rosa said gently, looking down to her necklace.

"You're welcome," Lyssandra nodded, "But in regards to your power, I'm afraid that's for you to determine..." she dropped her eyes knowing she was unable to help, "It sounds as though when the time comes you will know what to do...but until then, perhaps you can train yourself in other ways...?"Lyssandra knew there was plenty of means of training there in the room and if the girl were to build up her strength and stamina, maybe things would come easier... "I'm sure the Blue Mage is still in town," she was trying hard to think of what she could suggest to help, "Perhaps he will be willing to help you in the Magic aspect of your training?"

Rosa nodded softly blushing softly sighing. "I'm sorry if I'm being a pest. I'm just nervous and wishing I knew now what I'm suppose to do and how to do it." She said admitting she was becoming impatient and sighed, hanging her head some.
Rosa looked into the room, watching the guards training. "I guess it could not hurt to learn something more than just magic for self defense. Maybe I should learn how to use a weapon or hand to hand...." Rosa said pondering over this as she watched the guys training before looking to Lyssandra.
"You are so nice, I thank you so much Queen Lyssandra." She said smiling. "I know I can be a pest or feel as such." She said rubbing the back of her head.

"It's fine," Lyssandra said once again, casting her attention towards the door, "If you don't mind my leaving you, I'd like to go and see if Trogan has finished with our son..." she had been eager to bond like her husband had, but felt it only right to spend time with Rosa as well... "I feel bad about what happened earlier and want to try and make it up to him..." She could understand if Trogan wanted to bond with his son, but at the same time, was jealous that Tala had pretty much rejected her at the first hurdle...

Rosa nodded. "Of course, that's fine, have fun with Tala." She said smiling gently as she watched Lyssandra. She didn't want to keep her from getting close to Tala, wanting them to get close to Tala and Tala to get close to them and used to them as well.
