 At that point Aurelia had heard enough. She didn't care what Jay was visiting the new Court member for, but it was after hours. Walking into plain site she made her way to the Six of Spade's room. "Alright, I already said it, lights out and curfew." She said casually, as if she was herding a bunch of students to their dorms. Stopping before the door she looked down at the girl, placing the folded pile of clothes in one hand. "Morrigan, am I correct?"((lol, you're right, Ann. xD Maybe I should have said something along the lines of "scary" or "intimidating" xDD))

 Morrigan looked up at the Queen, nodding as she asked her a question. She kept her door slightly ajar thought, not really wanting to open it further until the guy who called his self Jason was gone.
She spoke with her eyes on the queen, her voice still no more then a peep. "Yes, your Hime. That would be correct.." she nodded her head respectfully as she eased her grip on the bear. The situation was slightly better with the Queen there.
She could tell she was near tears. Hoping the Queen wouldn't be angry at her for answering her door, she wasn't out of her dorm, she was still safely behind the door, her teddy held loosely in her arms now.

Jay smiled at Morrigan as he laughed. “If you say so my child, I don’t wish to bring harm to you.” As he spoke he patted Morrigan’s head and produced a small lollipop from his other and dropped it on the head of her teddy bear.
When he heard Aurelia’s voice his face contorted as if in pain turning towards her he glared in her direction. “Ah, if it isn’t the Queen, did you find your poor pathetic toy Riku?” He spoke his voice no longer soft as it was with Morrigan but now full of venom. “Boy didn’t go dying on me now did he? After all, I do have plans for him... And you... my dear.” With that he patted her chin and headed away. “Don’t worry about the ball, I got it paid for. I’ll see you all tomorrow...” He headed off down the hallway bursting into another fit of laughter as he did.

 Ken picked up his phone again, reading the text that got split between knows so it read 'kn' in the first text, and 'ows' in the second. Responding back, he texted, 'Im not worried about Jay. If he wants another broken bone, I'll be more than happy to oblige. As for Riku... I think he fell down the stairs and probably bumped his forehead. And the school nurse is just doing her little 'oh mai gawd! blood! quick! we must begin surgery!' type deals, and that's why he's being kept there. He's probably just fine.' Sending the text, he looked out the window and laid his phone next to him.
He looked over at the candle that was between his and Riku's bed. Before they went to sleep, they would light the candle with Ken's element, then Riku would blow it out with his own element. It became such a routine, that he instictivly lit the candle, still thinking Riku would blow it out. Riku really did add a lot to the dorm room. Without him the atmosphere felt... empty.

Morrigan watched in horror at the mans response to the Queen, he wasn't as nice as he had come to be, and what would of happened if she would of allowed him in her room. She looked at the lollipop that was ontop of her bear, she plucked it and examined it closely. What kind of person keeps lollipops around?
She opened her door farther once he was away, nodding toward the inside of her room. "Would you like to come in, your hime? You seem troubled by something." she spoke her voice slightly louder, obvious melodic tone to it as she spoke.

 Trey had finally fallen asleep when her phone beeped again, she couldn't help but smile at Ken's comment about the nurse. She hadn't ever been sent to the infirmary, which was surprising due to her state of sleeping. She sighed, reading the message, she didn't want Ken to get into any more trouble. And the boy was alone in his dorm again, hopefully he was in better spirits then he was when she was with him earlier.
"Well, don't do anything to erratic. Please.. Hey.. Do you have plans for the ball?" she sent the message without thinking, before her nerves erased what she posted, she knew Ken wouldn't ask her, he wasn't the type. So she would have to ask him.

"For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Astin frowned as Tai walked away, she had a bad feeling but she couldn't really do anything about it. She could only hope for the best. As she turned and opened her door she walked over to her computer, and as the screensaver faded away she saw her little mailbox icon bouncing up and down on the dashboard. Clicking on it she saw a posting mentioning a Secret Santa, skimming over the message she paused. Seriously, just her luck.
She sighed as she wrote a email to Aurelia saying that she had figured out an interesting memento gift for all the attendees of the ball, the frozen white roses. Exiting out of her email she pulled up the internet and searched for some gift ideas not really finding anything suiting. Her eyes wandered over to her piano and she stood walking over to it. She sat in front of the ivory keys her hands positioned over the keys. They glowed in the darkness of the room and she smiled, as she began to play.

Aurelia maintained her expression even through Jay's words, resisting to shudder as he touched her. She didn't know what to do, how to respond, and so she directed her attention to Morrigan.
"Why thank you," The Queen responded, giving the child a small smile and stepping inside the room. "But, now that I think about it, I would like to ask how you are? You arrived recently, and I haven't had the chance to talk to you. And, about Jay, he is quite the enigmatic character, isn't he?" She joked. Entering the girl's room she noticed the many dolls, admiring each one. "You have quite a collection here." Aurelia noted, amazed.

Lunaru heard Jay laugh as he headed away. He wasnt sure where he was headed now, it seemed as if Jay had been closer than he thought. He scowled, which was rare for him, as the thought of Jay getting his way with anything drilled itself into his mind. He wanted to go up and tackle Jay.
"That boy needs to leave people alone!" he thought angrily.
Lunaru then began his walk back to his own dorm. As he approached the in which his dorm was, shudder drew through his spine. He shook and looked around. As he looked his ADHD kicked in once again and Jay shot through his mind, instantly killing the chill and filling Lunaru with anger. He wasnt tired anymore and didnt know what to do but he went back to his dorm anyway. He lay up in his bed yet again, but this time, instead of gently falling back sleep, Lunaru's thoughts wandered to his time at hinarmori. He began to cry as he reflected on the people here and who he conversed with. He felt like a separate entity. Eventually, after his tears soaked his face and pillow, Lunaru had cried himself to sleep.

Morrigan smiled as she closed the door behind the Queen. She noticed her admiration of her dolls, she did have quiet the large collection, having received at least four at every major holiday since birth.
She tilted her head as she walk to her bed, sitting with a jump, her teddy still in her clutches. She smiled up at her as she nodded.
"Yes, your Hime. My mommy gave them to me.." she shrugged brushed strands of her white hair away from her pale features.
"What bothers you, miss? Was it that boy?" her voice was still low, apparent she wasn't use to talking to people. Most the time they couldn't get the girl to talk, classes would be fun tomorrow.

Jay kept walking, he knew Aurelia would have more than likely found Riku and regardless of his condition he would be brought to the infirmary. That was his next stop as he headed towards it still laughing to himself. Finally, when he made it to the infirmary he pushed open the door.
The nurse was checking on a student, she kept muttering to herself something about frostbite and if he was smart enough he should have came inside. Jay smiled, that sounded like Riku to him. He slowly moved towards the bed and looked at Riku then at the nurse. “Don’t worry; I’ll take care of him. Go busy yourself with other such work.”
With a nod the nurse moved away allowing Jay access to Riku. “Oh Riku my boy... What did you do to yourself?” As he spoke he placed his hands on Riku’s chest slowly heating his hands, hoping to bring Riku’s body temperature up and prevent the frostbite from harming him.

Aurelia's smile grew a little as she sat on the edge of Morrigan's bed. "Wow, you are quite lucky, then. They are beautiful." She said, referring to the dolls. Noticing the girl's eyes she was amazed by their color, but saw that they were a bit red. Was that why she was up this late? "Oh no, it is something different. Don't worry though, I will take care of it." The Queen reassured the child. Setting Riku's clothes beside her and taking the blanket in both of her hands she motioned for the Morrigan to lie down. "Here, I'll tuck you in." She offered. "If there is anything that bothers you, just let me know, okay?" For a moment Aurelia had a warm feeling inside, being an only child this time felt as if she was taking care of a younger sibling. "Being at Hinamori is scary at first, but you will have friends here, no doubt." ((edited))

The girl smiled slightly as she jumped under the covers, scooting on her bottom to place her head on the pillow. She held her slender hands around the teddy bear.
She yawned as she turned on her side, her eyes closing as she listened to the queen speak. It was obvious she hadn't been informed her her.. Situation, her past, and what brings her to her present.
"Thank you.." she whispered toward the Queen, she could feel drowsiness taking hold of her, but at the same time she was frightened by her dreams. She didn't want to fall asleep and be haunted once more by the face of her demons. By her fathers face.

At the look of slight confusion crossed Misa's heart shaped face, as the King stopped talking, looking rather pale and somewhat ill. She turned back around and stepped lightly back up to the tall boy, until she was only a foot away her face tilted upwards to look him in the eye. Her gaze penetrating as she scrutinized his face.
" Are you doing alright, Naoya?" Concern making the dark haired girl forget his title as she peered at him. Then as the King asked her as to why she wanted to know what he was doing for the Winter ball. She felt a blush creep across her face as she opened her mouth to reply. In past years at Hinamori, she had been asked countless times to the Winter ball, refusing each time. Now that it was her last year at the school she felt the need to go with someone, and crazy as it may have sounded the tiny teenager didn't know who else to ask but Naoya.
" Oh...uh...It's just that it's our senior year...And well...I don't want to go alone and well...Uhm...I was wondering if you'd like to go to the Winter ball with me..." She finished rather lamely in a quiet whisper. God I feel stupid...I want to melt into the floor...Of course he'll say no! Her mind raced as she mentally berated herself. Her small face was no longer turned upward but rather she seemed to have a new found fascination with the mat and his shoes as she awaited his answer.

Aurelia saw the fatigue in the Morrigan's features, but wondered why she was fighting against the natural need to sleep. Was it because the Queen was present? Unsure of the answer she patted the little girl on the head and stroked her hand through the long strands once. "No problem, that's why I'm here." Aurelia said softly. Morrigan looked so adorable, an innocent girl here in a new environment. "Are you having trouble sleeping?" She asked, wanting to do anything to help.
