He smiled. "Sharing a room will make it easier to leave, too... Hmm... no, no privacy issues. I think I got over that quite some time ago," he said with a bit of a sly grin. "There's not too much to packing once you get used to it, but it's good to get off to a good start." He ran a hand through his soft brown hair once and then looked back at Dax. "Anyway, shall we? I don't know my way around this palace, anyway."

"Alright, come on," he said, giving a quick look around before once again starting out of the ballroom. It appeared the guards weren't paying as much attention to them as they had been before. Must be because 'they' were there throughout the whole party, or at least that's how Sayael's distraction made it seem. "And we'd do well not to make it public knowledge we're staying together for several good reasons." He didn't go into detail about those reasons, though, as he took a naturally brisk pace toward his quarters.

He smirked slightly and nodded. "Got it. What people don't know is likely never to occur to them, no?" He followed Dax, his footfalls nearly silent. He yawned again and covered his mouth with a hand. He should sleep tonight instead of staying up on endless hours planning.

"Well, we hope," Dax replied. With the taken speed, it wasn't too long before they come upon his room. He had caught the yawn from the other, knowing he must be tired. "Are you sure you're up to helping me pack? I could just as well improvise and you could take your extra couple hours of sleep." As he spoke, the door was opened and he stepped into the large, dimly lit room. "Also, we'll have to make a stop-off at your own Kingdom to get your your supplies as well, won't we?"

He shook his head. "No, I'm fine. I'll help you instead." He thought for a moment, frowning. "Hmmm... maybe... I want to try something first, though. See if I can bring it here... I haven't tried it with so much before, but the distance will be fine... I'll try in the morning and if I can't make it, we'll just have to make that detour." He followed the other into his room, stifling yet another yawn.

"Don't tell me that you can transport items and create wild distractions? My, my.. You're just coming up with these new tricks left and right. I can't wait to see what you come up with next," he said, closing the door behind them. "Why don't you sit down while I get things together? It looks like you're about to fall over in exhaustion." He motioned to his bed while he himself opened one of the many chests in his room to remove a large bag. "All you need to do is instruct me on what to get."

He shrugged. "Just don't be surprised if we get green sludge instead of what I packed. It's happened before - got my magics mixed up and ended up with a botanical garden instead of a horse. The horse was fine of course once I turned it back, but it took me a while to find a book that would explain what I needed to do..." He trailed off, eyeing the bed for a moment before sitting down on it with a small sigh. He really was very tired and it was very tempting to just lie down and let Dax deal with everything.

"Well, if you insist on creating sludge, please be sure to not have it strewn in my room. A guest room perhaps, but not here," he said, tossing the bag next to Sayael before wandering off to one of his many wardrobes lining his wall. With it open, he looked as if he were scouting out a specific choice, but a moment later, he was grabbing one.. two.. five outfits from the rack without hardly looking at what he had chosen.

Mie-tanuki The bump and clatter of a carriage on a paved rode slowly woke Alti. His eyes opened slowly and he blinked a few times. There was water in his eyes from the snow flakes that had melted on his lashes and he slowly lifted an arm to wipe it away. He sat up gingerly, feeling aches and paines as if his entire body were bruised. He frowned and looked around him - he was inside a carriage with a dozing boy and that brown-haired man he had seen before... He frowned slightly, wondering what he was doing in such a place.
Haar waited until the teen seemed to be fully awake before questioning, "Now, just how did you get in the middle of another road, one in the fire nation might I add?" He knew there were mages that could perform transportation spells but the boy looked relatively young to have mastered such a complicated spell. Leaning over to pick the pins from the teen's hair, the young commander frowned heavily. "I'm surprised these didn't poke your eyes out," he muttered, closing his palm over them before examining the other's face.
"You don't seem to be in that bad of a condition, but I can't tell exactly with all your clothes on. Is anything numb or feel as if it's asleep?" He asked, explaining that that could mean something was broken or fractured.

Sayael yawned. Surely lying down couldn't hurt. He layed back, greatful for the soft beds of the Ice Kingdom, so unlike his own home. He smiled slightly, closing his eyes - which surely couldn't do any harm - and before he knew it he had drifted off to sleep, laying only half on the bed.
**
He shook his head, remaining quiet. "Nothing... I just feel as if I've bruised just about everything, though," he said with a slight shrug. He didn't really mind; he was used to pain, although it was usually self inflicted. He frowned. "The Fire Kingdom...? Must have miscalculated," he said with a sigh, leaning back. He looked down at the other's hand. "COuld I have those back, please?" He fingered his overly long bangs distastefully and then stared dilliberately away from the other.

Before he knew it, having gone through only two of the wardrobes, Dax had a huge armful of clothing. Picking up another outfit, he turned around to face the other on the bed. "Sayael, should I take the white or the bl-.." he started, but saw the other had fallen asleep. He had a feeling he'd end up having to do this by himself. No matter, he thought with a smile. Let the prince sleep. ".. I'll just take both." With that decision, the blonde began packing the first round of clothes into the bag.. He'd definitely be needing another soon. But first he put the thought of packing aside. If he let the other boy sleep like that, he may wake with a cramp. So Dax set to work. After turning down the covers the best he could, he began to gently move Sayael's legs onto the bed and cover him up.

"Are you sure nothing is broken? You do realize I am going to have someone check you over when we get to the capital's palace no matter what you say, don't you?" He murmured with attitude that expressed he would not allow any hurt person he came in contact with to leave without proper care. Bright red eyes flickered towards the teen once more before focusing out the window. They had finally cleared the forest and were traveling down a well used road that led straight to the capital. It wouldn't be too much longer now.

Sayael felt something at his legs and began to stir - he was an incredibly light sleeper. He opened his eyes, his vision fuzzy, to see that Dax was trying to ease him onto the bed. He placed a palm down on the bed beside him and sat up. "Hnn? What's happening?" he asked with a yawn, managing to look remarkably like a child.
**
He took the clips back with a muttered thank you and clipped his bangs back in place. He stared out the window and didn't bother returning his gaze to the man beside him. "... I don't cut them because I've been restricted from using sharp things," he said with a bit of a sardonic smirk on his lips. "And I don't let others take care of me, not even to cut my hair. So I suppose my hair will be growing quite long, won't it?" He gaze flickered back to Haar before returning to the window. "I'm fine," he said in a rather bored tone. "I've had worse from just teleporting... Just bruises. Nothing else." He was recovering quickly - he could hardly even feel the pain any more and his ego seemed to have returned.

Haar averted his gaze from the window closest to the teen to drift towards the window near Peyton. Glancing down at the boy who was huddled against him, the young commander sighed softly to himself. He'd have to have some sort of talk with him soon if things continued as they were... The darker haired man sarcastically mused to himself that once the teen had regained most of his senses that he was just as pleasant as ever, and even though he was surprisingly curious as to the teen's remarks he kept those questions to himself. He didn't really need to know anything other than his name and where he should've been.
Keeping his eyes set outside, Haar questioned in a stiffer tone- "So, what's your name and where are you from?"

"Oh," Dax exclaimed quietly when Sayael awoke. "You must have dozed off. I didn't want you sleeping in such a state as you were in. Sorry if I disturbed you, but if I hadn't it was possible I could have rolled over onto your head once I retired to bed with you." He proceeded with pulling the covers over the other prince as he spoke.
