 Niro adjusted his collar again. It wasn't that the cloths were too tight, it fit him just fine. Rather that the heat in the room was getting to him. Mainly his nerves still resist to calm down farther. He decided to head out into the courtyard for some fresh air. As he made his way up the stairs, the guard from earlier stopped him. "Oh, the captain just arrived. He's right over there if you still want to talk to him." Niro turn to where the guard pointed. Grant was indeed here and apparently with the girl he saw this morning. Shaking his head Niro replied, "The captain is too busy right now for my silly question. I'll wait for later, thank you."

((OOC: Don't read this if you don't want to; it's really long...I think, don't know the standards for long posts.))
Alexander was asleep through it all, dreaming of his goals and the events of today. If he woke up however, Alexander would be a little displeased. Henna had redressed him while he was asleep and that would be quite insulting for him, but he would get over it or probably not even mention how displeased he was; the pajamas were quite comfortable after all. What happened tonight involving the wine would probably be the last time since a common factor of drinking irresponsible was waking up in some strange place in new clothes and a headache. Tou were hit twice as hard by hangovers, but the hangovers also lasted half the time. This was due to how their system worked, since it worked hard to get rid of pain as fast as possible while at the same time causing more trying to remove it.
Alexander's dreams were rather pleasant tonight: he dreamt of Grant and how they met today; starting off badly, but ending with friendship. Meeting a Princess for the first time in his life was the next part. Alexander didn't know Princesses was so nice and curious; Amanea was probably an exception and the common Princess was still a spoilt brat. Meeting Jewley wasn't the greatest of any of the friends he had met; Alexander felt like Jewley was a mystery to him, but a friend of Grant was a friend of his. Henna probably had the most impact on his life today by claiming his contract and freeing Alexander as a castle servant to a humble assistant. The dream from there started with visions of what tomorrow would bring. After those however, things became dark and corrupted as if the dream had become a nightmare. Alexander had unknowingly gone into the deepest part of his mind in the form of a dream or in this case what seemed like a nightmare. As Alexander was placed on a path made from black stone that lead straight into a cave. The skies were filled with dark red storms, making flashes of lightning and the sound of thunder. At the end of this stone path was the cave seen from the beginning of the path. Its entrance was like any other cave, but the rock making the cave was even darker then the stone path. As Alexander stepped forth into the cave, he felt a force grip his neck and that same force started to lift him into the air. As Alexander struggled to break free of the invisible grip, two piercing red eyes emitted from the cave, glowing like rubies shining in the sun.
"You are over stepping your boundaries Alexander; go back to your dreams and leave this place alone."
Alexander recognized the voice coming from the owner of the red eyes; it was his own voice, but sounding much more deviant as if an entirely different person. Alexander couldn’t speak, only struggle in the creatures grip. The force on his neck seemed to vanish, but instead of landing back on the stone path, Alexander fell into darkness...
On the outside world, Alexander was restless in his sleep, flailing around in the covers as if he wasn't really asleep at all. This movement only lasted a few minutes and then Alexander awoke, rising so quickly that the blanket was at the edge of the bed. Despite the new surroundings, the clothes he was now wearing, and what time it really was, Alexander was more startled by his dream. In Tou philosophy, it was said the Tou could access parts of their memories or hidden power. This brought up a question that made Alexander afraid: What was that dream about: Memory or Power?
Alexander didn't dwell on it for too long, but instead what was on the outside world started to annoy him. Sure the bed was comfy and the pajamas were also just as comfortable, but where the hell was he and who undressed him to put them on? It was most likely Henna and from what he had gathered from her earlier, he guessed this was her room. Alexander didn't know what to feel for the current situation: either anger or just being plain uncomfortable in so many ways. It passed and maybe it was acceptable since he was a bit off his rocker. Seeing all of the results from drinking, he decided it was the end of that and just accepted what wine had resulted for him, soon dozing off back to bed.

{I admire your ability to make such long posts, I wish I had that passion!}
Henna was combing her wet hair when she heard Alex moving about in the bed, she stood and opened the curtain a little, seeing his sweet angelic face fast asleep. "aww." She cooed and smiled. She watched him sleeping for a few minutes, unable to stop herself, then opened the curtain completely to let the candle light wash over her bed spread. She was wearing a night gown, that was very loose and flowy, it tied with a sash at the waist and she wore a night jacket over it to keep her warm in the drafty castle.
A small fire crackled in her fire place and she set down her slippers just out of the flame's reach, if she had to work, she wanted her toes to be warm at least. She left the door between her room and work room open when she moved into the work room to get started on the king’s robes. In Henna's mind the king was already dead, he just did not know it yet. She took out the finest deep purple silk she had and started to sketch chalk lines onto it as she rolled it out on her table. They would have to be the best she had ever made for him which was asking a lot, but he deserved it. He was a good king and he had tried hard to make his kingdom a better place, even if he did not accomplish everything he could have.

 Jewlet waited for Grant to finish talking to the prince. She placed her hands in front of her and smiled. The reaction she got from Grant almost made her blush. "All the letters were delivered." She shook her head at Grant's fumbling. "Like wize." She said doing a small bow. "Sir Grant, I think we need to take care of the king." She smiled at the prince and then said. "Sir Grant does an great job. So, please do not worry." She said in a calm tone. She was relaxed for once even though things like this brought up painful memories.

"Yes, I am confident that he shall," the Prince smiled, but still, something in the back of his mind was still bothering him. Who was this girl that she was so close to the captain and requesting an audience with his father. She looked familiar in some ways, perhaps a servant, but still...

"You do me to much honor. I just hope tonight's security is fitting for the occasion. I had little time to prepare." Grant said trying to hint at the fact that he was not told of the arrival of the emissaries. "When would be a good time for us to speak of the matter of your father?" Grant asked as he picked up an extra plate. Filling it with a few foods Grant handed it to Jewlet. Grant then looked back at the prince. "O, may I ask how the preparations for the coronation are going? I hope the counsel are not pushing you to hard. I've found they tend to have their own agenda."

 "The security seems fine," the Prince complimented as he stared around the hall, the entrances each lined with guards, not that it would ever stop his brother but then again not all things can be foreseen. "After the banquet, meet me in my chambers and we shall continue our conversation," Ric answered the second question as the Neko continued to fill his plate, then asked about the dreaded coronation, "Hmm you do not know the half of it. The coronation seems to be on everyone's mind but my own."

Henna sliced the purple silk carefully with a very sharp blade, and took them over to the fire side so she could start the embroidery possess. She used a slightly darker purple to embroider an intricate knotted woven vine and leaf design. Her eyes strained in the flickering light, but her hands moved quickly over the fabric, the design coming together faster than any human could have believed possible, but it was making her tired to go this fast. Next she would use silver threads, but she was hardly done with the dark purple. Her eyes fluttered, and tried to keep her head up, but an hour later, she dropped the silk to her lap, and her neck was leaning on her shoulder, she had passed out. The fire crackled just a few feet in front of her and sent shadows dancing on her face, warming her as if she were asleep in her own bed.

"I'm sure everything will go off without a hitch and I'm sure you'll make a fine king." Grant said reassuringly. Grant looked around the room wondering when the music would start. Grant wanted to see Alexander play. He always liked the new songs that he came up with. Grant looked at Jewlet for a second. I hope I'm not boring her maybe if I. Grant attempted to slid his hand into hers. Unfortunately he didn't look at where he was going and ended up sliding past her hand and onto her butt.

Jewlet nodded her head. "That is good to hear." Then she feel quiet to let Grant talk to the prince. She looked at the plate of food and then took hold of it. "Thank you." She said as she looked down at the food.then picked out a pice of furit and quietly ate apon it. She listioned to Grant and the prince chat. She kept her eyes down as thoughts of her father filled her head and made her forget wher she was. That brought tears to her eyes, which in turn made her cast her face down. Keeping up with the men, she tried to calm her thoughts as she removed the tears from her face. She took a very deep breath and got control back. Then, she brought her head back up as the chat ended. Jewlet looked at Grant as he looked at her. She quickly turned her head away as she felt as if she was a child again. She tensed up feeling a hand on her butt. "Sir Grant. Your... your hand." She said in a calm tone trying not to blush.

Alexander awoke from his bed, feeling horrible from a head splitting headache. This wasn't an average headache like one would get after drinking wine; it was twice as painful, but would be gone after at least a few hours. There was no point going back to sleep with such a headache and decided it best to check on how the Ball was going. After realizing what he was wearing, it would probably be better to just sit in bed. This changed as well when Alexander could see Henna asleep in a chair, probably worked herself to a pass out.
Alexander jumped from the covers of the bed and onto the floor. The way henna had fell asleep wasn't good for her spine and cause neck pains later. Alexander wasn't exactly up to using his powers in his current state, but he certainly couldn't just leave Henna like that. Alexander stepped forward and removed the purple silk from Henna's lap so it would drop when Alexander tried to lift her. The best Alexander could do would make her lighter, but that didn't work on living things for too long and Alexander didn't want to be crushed under Henna. Risking severe head pains, Alexander started to work his magic and slowly Levitate Henna. Trying to lift Henna with Levitation wouldn't be too hard as long as she didn't move and Alexander was able to concentrate long enough. If Alexander didn't pull this off, he would drop Henna on the cold hard floor.
First Alexander attached his Left Levitation points onto Henna's back and head so her head wouldn't drag as Alexander struggled to levitate her. Alexander attached his right levitation points on Henna lower back and legs. The moment of truth was soon here and Alexander Levitate Henna off the chair. Now all Alexander had to do was levitate her to her bed. Alexander would sleep somewhere else tonight, maybe by the fire or the same chair Henna was sleeping in before. First thing was first though: Alexander still had the task of Levitating Henna to her bed at the same time manage a throbbing headache. The rate he was able to move Henna from her chair to the bed was extremely slow and Alexander worried she would move while he was Levitating her and that meant Alexander wouldn't be able to maintain the Levitation points attached to Henna.

Henna did not dream, she had never dreamed and it was likely that she never would, she slept to lightly. It was as if her mind was never truly at rest. She felt something strange happening, and then she opened her eyes. She was floating! And no longer in her chair. She had fallen asleep! "GOds!" She flung her arms out flailing about. "Wha?!" She was now wide awake and panicked.
"She looked around to see who or what was doing this and she saw Alex. It took her a second to recall that he had this power. And it just became really, really freaky. "Put me down! Stop it.” Her voice cracked, nothing was scarier than waking up to find yourself floating in mid air,

Grant quickly pulled his hand away putting it behind himself and holding it with his other hand. "My apologies." Grant said, his face bright red with embarrassment. IDIOT!!!! He thought as he backed away looking at the floor. Grant's mind was now racing as he tried to find some way to recover from his accident. Grant spoke quietly, "I didn't, I mean it was, I, but, uhhhh." Grant winced expected to get smacked as that would be what anyone would do after that had happened.

The Prince held in his laughter at the scene before him, a skill he had learn from years attending such social events with his brother Cyrith. With that thought in mind, he turned his head towards the dance floor where his youngest brother was showing off his dance skills. As he turned back to the neko captain, he could see that his face had flush, "Do not worry, I have witnessed far worse with far more intention from Cyrith."
