Sheridan  The next morning when Sheridan woke up she smiled slightly before getting out of bed and getting dressed for the day. She went to the dining hall and asked the cook to prepare a meal for herself as well as a meal for her father and Sienna. After waiting for the food to be ready she took the trays of food to her fathers room and stood at the door as a guard knocked and entered to inform Darian and Sienna that Sheridan was there to bring them food. She waited outside the door, wanting to see if her father was feeling any better and to see what she needed to do around the castle. (())

  King Darian
Darian nodded, seeing the logic in Sienna's arguments against getting married right at that moment.
"Yes, you're right about what you said. Also, don't let it be widely known that I am unwell. I have enemies that would like to take advantage of it..." he said. Looking up at the guard who entered, he nodded. "Go ahead and send her in. We were waiting to talk with her." He looked to the door, waiting for Sheridan to come in, and he grunted, moving a little because he was a little uncomfortable. He shifted, and then looked lovingly at Sienna. "I hope that we can get done with all of this soon. I hate this entire war." he said softly.

Selene
Selene went over to Mina, putting a hand on her sister's shoulder, having decided what she would do.
"Mina, I still think of you as my sister. I don't care what my parents will say. They can rot for all that they've put you through. I am starting to believe that my parents are not as caring as they try to appear to be. When we find Uncle Darian, we must have explanations from him..." she said softly. Pulling Mina into a tight hug, Selene smiled at her. Then Selene went over to help Linda with the ashes. The hole was finished so Selene started to lift the ashes into it, dirtying her hands as she went but not much caring. She was using a large enough leaf that her hands didn't get too dirty, but it was still just small enough to get her dirty. Smiling at Linda a little, Selene helped her to finished filling the hole in with the loose dirt and then to cover it casually with the debris and dead leaves. Standing and helping Linda up, Selene looked at the rest of them. "Okay, now we're ready to go," she said. She walked over to Miron and took his hand, having wiped the dirt off of her hands, and smiled up at him. He had 'heard' her talking to Mina, and she could feel his approval, warmth and love in the spot that was him in the back of her head.

Riku Itsuki Amakura  All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) After having helped Linda up and asking his question, Riku stood still. He waited for an answer as Linda stood by his side silently. His eyes briefly looked over at her, still a bit worried about how she was feeling. However, the assassin knew he couldn’t worry about her when they had other things to do. Thus, he turned his head back towards the others. But, Linda seemed to speak up, giving herself a job. He only nodded as he watched her go over to the far side of the camp. Well, what does that leave me? Then, Mina started to mention how they needed to get their belongings and some water when they got to the river. “Yeah. I can get the water.” His hand grabbed his one bag of belongings, swinging it over his shoulder. As his eyes looked around for Linda’s, Mina spoke once more. “I know basic healing knowledge, but not a lot. Linda might know more than I do, but she will have to decide if she is up for it or not.” Riku didn’t want to make Linda feel forced, but he did want to give her opportunities to do something. That way, she wouldn’t feel useless.
Then, Mina went on about one of the men gathering the supplies in town. A small smirk appeared on his face as he ran a finger underneath his sleeve, feeling the coolness of his blade. “I can do it. I know how to keep my identity secret. Plus, it will allow me to figure out if all of our faces are compromise, or just a few of us. Then, I can figure out a way to…bring us back into the shadows of existence.” The assassin knew that his way would mean killing or forcing people into keep their identity hidden. However, Riku didn’t feel the need to elaborate on that. “What supplies do you all think we need the most, other than food? I think clothes might be order if you all don’t have a lot of that. Also, I think maybe better weapons are in order, if that is needed. However, that is more your judgment call. Since I don’t know your weapons as well as you all do, that may not actually be necessary.” Then, Riku remembered the question Mina had asked of them about her plans. “And yes, by the fact I’m adding unto them, I think they are sound. Though, I do suggest maybe a time limit to the shopping spree. After all, wouldn’t want people getting worried now.”
After that, the assassin watched as Selene walked over to Mina. Her hand rested on Mina’s shoulder as she started to speak to her “sister.” Her words almost caused the assassin to smile. Even after being told the truth, Selene had decided to keep treating her like they did before. Also, the princess seemed to be realizing what most already knew. That her parents weren’t the nice people they made themselves out to be. After all, I wouldn’t have them as clients if they were honestly nice people. Her final words before moving towards Linda was something he believed everyone could agree with. The King of the Undead had a lot of explaining to do. As Selene helped Linda with the hole, Riku looked over at Mina. “Hey Mina, got a second?” He walked over towards to her quickly. Once beside her, he bent down towards her, keeping his voice low so he can only be heard by her. “Selene just called him Uncle. Are you all related to…him? If so, tell me all you know about him.” Riku didn’t care if he was being nosy. This was the man possibly behind his partner’s death, and the assassin wasn’t about to let him get away with it.
However, Selene started coming towards him, and he stood back up “We can talk later.” He watched as Selene walked over towards Miron. His eyes stopped themselves from rolling, soon finding them looking towards Linda. He walked over to her now and looked back at the others. “Ready when you all are. I’ll stay in the back to make sure we aren’t attacked from behind.” Then, Riku looked towards Linda, a brief flicker of warmth going through his red pools. “And you stay in front of me, alright? That way, I can keep an eye on you.” With this, Riku waited for the others to start moving so they could bring themselves ever closer to King Darian and his castle. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time.

Linda
Linda went to Riku and kissed him on the cheek before she went to stand in front of him, not minding that he had mentioned the fact that she was still a little weak. Remembering what he had told Mina, she looked to the little angel.
"I do know quite a bit about healing," she said. "I learned it from my friend. She is much better than I when it comes to that art, but I will do the best that I can. I have already found many herbs." Linda blushed a little. "I have a habit of just picking them up, just in case..."
She was humble about her healing talents, and she knew that Sheridan had told her that she was very good, but she thought that she was not very good. Looking back at Riku, she started forward as the others started to move forward as well, and without intention, seemed to sway her hips invitingly as she walked forward. Smiling at Riku, she looked back forward again, not wanting to trip.

  MinaMina tensed slightly as she saw Selene walking to her and before looking back to the ground glanced up at Selene. "Thank you Selene, but I think you are right. When we reach King Darian's castle you will have to ask him about your family." Mina relaxed slightly as she spoke to Selene and when she was hugged she awkwardly hugged Selene back before looking to Riku as he spoke to her. Before answering Riku she put her bags over her shoulders and looked around to make sure they weren't forgetting anything. "Alright, when you go to get the water make sure to gather everyone's canteens so that we don't have to stop too often to fill them. And thank you Riku, if you think there is anything you can find for us that we might miss that would be appreciated." Moving to stand next to Meiun Mina took a breath and stretched before looking back to Riku. "Alright, when you go into the village then I know we will need some more travel appropriate clothing for myself and Selene. And other then clothing and food we will need a few healing items from there since not all are found in the wilderness. And we know for sure that if myself or Selene would show up in a village it would draw attention so I think just try and see if the rest of you are compromised." As Riku asked about weapons Mina tilted her head slightly as she thought about what they might need. "Well I think if you are going to be teaching Selene we might need a few more daggers. And if anyone is good with a bow and arrows we might need that as well. I agree with setting a time limit, seeing as I think all of us would end up worrying about anyone that leaves the group." Standing near the tree she had fallen asleep near Mina glanced up to Riku as he moved to stand close to her. When he spoke she looked up to him and was about to answer when Selene moved back to them. So instead of speaking out loud Mina answered Riku's questions mentally. 'Selene is related to King Darian. He was her father's brother before he turned his back on them. I don't know much about Darian other then Selene's father has accused him of raping their sister and then killing her. So I think you will have to be with us when Selene asks for answers from him.' Before moving forward a little, wanting to get moving as soon as possible Mina stopped near Riku and spoke. "I think an hour or two tops in the village is a good time, though I think you all will make it less then that."

King Darian
Darian smiled at Sheridan and Sienna, happy to have them both there with him.
"I am feeling quite well, thank you my dear," he answered Sheridan. Just then, a guard entered the room and notified Darian that someone had come to ask about Linda, and wanted to see Darian. "Send him in. I should be fine for a short meeting before I send him to the dungeon to rot," Darion growled.

 Joshua Collins Being escorted into King Darian's dressing room, Joshua frowned at seeing the two women there, but decided not to say anything. Instead, he focused on the purpose of his visit.
"My King," he said, bowing. "I am here to request a verification in something. A person I am pursuing for treason said that she got those orders directly from you. I am here to ask if it is true." Joshua felt himself being seized as he tried to move forward. "My King, what is the meaning of this?" he asked calmly.
"You are the one committing treason Joshua, and for that you will go to the dungeons," Darian said, and then waved the guards and Joshua away. Joshua waited until they got farther down the hallway and then wrested free of the guards, killing one with his knives and leaving the other merely unconscious. Running from the castle, he slipped quietly into the forest and then made his way to a village about half a day away. He would not be going back there. If he did, he would surely meet death instead of rotting in the dungeon.

Riku Itsuki Amakura All night staring at the ceiling
Counting the minutes I've been feeling this way
So far away and so alone (()) Riku listened to Mina’s words carefully. At the mention of grabbing everyone’s canteens, he nodded slightly. “Alright. Just make sure you all don’t hide your water canteens. I can’t fill them if you all make them disappear.” His tone sounded joking, but his expression showed nothing but neutrality. It made it hard to tell whether or not the assassin had been joking at all. However, there was no time to linger on such questions. Not when Riku knew, like the others, they had to get moving.“And you’re welcome.” He tapped his chin as he waited for Mina to speak some more. Right off the top of his head, Riku couldn’t think of anything else to add. They were going to collect the herbs, Linda already got some berries...and then, it hit him. “I’ll probably gather some firewood while we go through the forest. That will save us time when we have to set up camp again.” He looked around the clearing, observing any possible fire wood around them. However, he see find none with using. Looks like we won’t encounter any good firewood until we go further into the forest.
His eyes went back towards Mina when she started on about the clothing. In his mind, he was making a list of all the things he would have to do today. First, gather firewood. Two, fill the canteens with water…Even though Riku mind’s was working on his list, the assassin was able to hear Mina. “I’m assuming Selene is similar size to Linda, and Mina would be a bit smaller than you two. Right?” He made the remark in hopes he wouldn’t have to make two trips just because he got too large or too small of clothing. However, Riku wasn’t sure Mina answered him as she went on about healing items. “Riighhht. The ones with the magic imbuements only certain people can put on them and blah blah.” The assassin had never been a fan of those. They were effective, but he never trusted those magicians not to poison the liquids with their magic. “I’ll make sure to get those. Though, I just hope we won’t regret it later.” If that didn’t make it obvious he distrusted them to the group, Riku didn’t know what would. But, that wasn’t important.
As Mina mentioned something he already knew, the assassin nodded. “It is possible we are all compromised. But, you are right. If there is one thing we can count on, it is that you two aren’t going to be able to show your faces in public. Even with my…resources…it will take too much time to make you two’s identities hidden again. Thus, we’ll just have to hope our identities aren’t known to the whole world as well.” His finger moved around, referring to himself, Linda, Meiun, and Miron.“However, with Meiun and Miron being your two’s lovers, there might be a stronger possibility their identity is compromised like your two’s. Not sure, but that is a gut feeling I have.” After that, the two focused on weapons. He nodded slightly, his face neutral as Mina talked about getting a few more daggers and maybe a bow and arrow. “Well, any of you good at that? I can wield it, but I don’t usually prefer to use it. I’m more of an up close and personal kind of fighter.” The assassin looked around the group. None of them looked like obvious archers, and he couldn’t remember if Linda knew how to wield one. Thus, Riku only hoped they would let him know before he set off for the village later on.
After he moved closer to Mina, Selene’s arrival cut their conversation short. However, once he moved away, Riku received an answer mentally. Even in his calm state of mind, a small look of disgust went across his face. That is just nasty. I mean, to even think of accusing your own brother of doing that to your sister…Messed up…Would be even more messed up if that actually happened….Just…ugh! As he noticed Mina walking towards him, he wiped the lingering disgust and surprise out of his eyes and face. “I should be able to make it in less time…but what do you mean by you all? You intending on sending people with me?” He tilted his head slightly, wondering exactly what she meant. But then, he felt Linda kiss his cheek. His eyes widened slightly as Riku wondered why Linda had done that. Nether the less, his fingers found themselves gently moving across the spot her lips had been moments ago.
Luckily, even in his current confused state, Riku was able to hear the wounded fairy speak to Mina. When she mentioned a friend, the assassin wondered if it happened to be the Sheridan girl. However, he bit his lip instead of voicing his curiosity. “That is a good habit to get into, picking up herbs and all.” His eyes focused on the blushing cheeks, hoping his words eased her embarrassment away. But, before he could see if it worked, the others started to move. The assassin waited until Linda moved forward before following the others. The red pools noticed the way Linda seemed to be inviting him with the sway of her hips. If only I were a lesser man…However, Riku’s pride wouldn’t allow him to take her in his arms and start kissing her like there was no tomorrow. Though, that doesn’t mean I can’t do this….A small smirk graced his face as he moved closer to her. His hands gently rested on her hips, his lips briefly brushing against her neck. “You shouldn’t look so inviting when we have to keep moving like we do…” The huskiness oozed out of his voice as he took a few steps back and started to move forward as if he hadn’t just made a move on her. There's no way I'm giving up this time
Yeah, you know I'm right here
I'm not losing you this time.

Linda
Linda nearly jumped a little but smiled a little at Riku, her eyes full of the same sultry desire she had displayed while they'd been in the woods. When he had kissed her neck, a shiver had run down her back and she'd very nearly started purring. She liked it when he kissed her neck. But she knew as well as Riku that they had to keep moving. Remembering what Riku had said about the magician made potions, she turned to him and spoke.
"Sheridan taught me certain ways to look for poison. I don't know how to make the magical potions, but I do know how to check for poisons," she told Riku. The others were already too far ahead to hear her. Looking at Riku and smiling a little, she started to try to catch up to the others. Tripping almost immediately, she decided against it, and she sighed, walking along at a pace that would prevent her from falling. Getting lost in her thoughts, she wandered on behind everyone, kicking stones.

SheridanSheridan smiled to her father and nodded her head, glad to hear that he was doing alright. She turned slightly to look over her shoulder as the guard entered the room speaking about someone asking about Linda. She was going to ask her father if Linda was alright but before she was able to the guards brought a male into her fathers room. She glanced to her father but turned her attention back to the male and listened to everything that was said in silence. Once the male was removed from her father's room she turned to him, worry clear to see on her face. "Father, is Linda alright? Is she in danger?" (())

MinaMina continued walking with the group but when Riku spoke to her she turned around and walked backwards so that she could face him. "You are correct, I am the smallest out of the group, though I think Selene is a little taller then Linda. If you want I can get everyone's measurements when we stop so that you have that to go by." Turning back around Mina softly hummed to herself before speaking again to Riku. "I know most do not like those kind of potions but there are way to make sure nothing negative will come of them. And you are correct, we might all be compromised but I think if it is easier for anyone it would be easier for you and the other two males to keep your identities hidden. I am sure Linda would be good at that as well, though I think seeing as Selene and Linda are already targeted we might want to risk them going into town." Mina mentally shrugged slightly as she saw the look on Riku's face, a look she was sure anyone would have though she herself though that Selene's father was just trying to create that story to make it so Darian couldn't be king of the Faeries. "Oh, no I didn't mean for all three of you to go. What I meant was that when you all go at some point in time that you all will be able to get back to our camp in less time then that. Not that you all will be going at the same time. Sorry for the confusion." (())

King Darian
Darian gave Sheridan a gloomy and grim look.
"I am not entirely sure... I do not know if that man left her for dead, or if she has somehow made it out of the fight with him alive.." he said, his tone matching his look. Sighing and shaking his head, he looked at Sheridan. "If you feel like you need to go to her, you have my permission. I will not keep you from your friend," Darian said softly.
