Joker nodded. That would be for the best. Standing up he walked over to kiss Kit softly. "Now sit down and rest, dear. I'm manning the kitchen." Smiling he went to put on his adorable frog apron and a hair net. Looking ridiculous and adoarble he started to season everything he wanted everyone to eat. Making extra in case he can get Gambler to come since he knew she eats alot.
Kyoshi sat down on a bench and took in the rare peace of this thing place. Looking at nothing in particular, he let his minds drift over to the path if he married Dusk. First off, it was one thing for everyone to accept him and consider him a Prince but would he be allowed to marry Dusk? If they did, would they have kids? It was obvious that in order to carry on the royal line your needed an heir but would they stop at having one kid? That was sort of lonely for the single sibling.
Plus he didn't want a spoil brat running around but a humble yet strong one....Perhaps a little girl like Dusk only his own kid would like him. Or a boy who had Dusk's good looks and diplomatic ways with a knack for being a good shot and not liking Ziggy. That would rock. Kyoshi smiled to himself at those thoughts. Really, this was shocking even to the author that the man who think these things.

Looking around, Dusk frowned for a moment as she wondered briefly… Where was Kyoshi? Normally he would have been back by now. It didn’t bother her that he wasn’t there, but it surprised her a bit. With everything that had been going on, one of them normally was gone but lately things had been getting a bit more tame. She wanted to see him… but as she stood up, walking to the window that overlooked the garden, a small smile was on her features. The two had been together for a while now… in the elvish lands for nearly half a year already and… she didn’t know why, but she wanted some form of celebration. Things had gone bad for a while but now? Now she was sure that things were going to get better. She hoped so, at least.
Kit rolled her eyes but moved so that she could lay down on the couch, comfortable. “Do you want me to start calling more people, Joker? I can see who all can come and not seeing as you’ve barred me from the kitchen…”

Shaking his head more the man stood up. He couldn't be here all day doing this daydreaming. He had work to do and the man wanted to see Dusk. Turning away sharply he marched over to the enterance of the palace to head for Dusk's office. It didn't take long as he knocked on the door gently, waiting for Dusk to say her enter. Even still he had great respect for her position and acted sort of like a servant than some prince. Besides, how was a prince supposed to act?
Jokeer stopped. Looking at her with his face, hands and apron covered in flour from making bread. "No, you can call them but you better make sure they come. I'm taking nothing less than a yes I'll be there in a jiffy. Kit, let's have at least one moment of peace between everyone. If we could do that and hopefully let everyone see each other, maybe we can get everyone to get along again....Oh!" He smiled. "I'm making something similar to the chocolate creme cake. You can lick the bowl if you like."

The knock on the door surprised her but she soon glanced back, blinking a bit, “Come in.” Dusk hadn’t thought about who it was that would come today… actually, she still hadn’t looked at the schedule; she really didn’t want to. If she did that then who knew what she was going to end up seeing? Maybe there was another suitor… that would suck. Dusk was tempted to start just sicking Kyoshi on them or something… He could be much scarier than any guard dog that she knew of. Or any guard period… other than Rave, of course, but Rave was just a scary person when he wanted to be.
Laughing again, Kit nodded as she leaned back some. It was a good idea, getting everyone to be kind and such… but sometimes she just wondered if it was possible for anyone to do that anymore… “Alright, I’ll call and talk them into coming. There’s Dusk, Kyoshi, Gambler, Kalore, Rave, the brat…. Anyone else that you can think of?” She didn’t think that they’d invite Talon and all of them, but it could be a possibility… she remembered Hibachi and Nyx, and those freaking Chess people… but she didn’t know if he wanted to invite them as well. “I don’t have that many people’s numbers, but I can get them pretty easily. And yes, I’ll lick the bowl quite happily.” She laughed, leaning against the entrance to the kitchen, grinning. “But… you’ll have to let me in the kitchen for that, no?”

Kyoshi entered and smiled at Dusk. Closing the door he walked over to her and kissed her nose. "Hello, my love." He greeted and wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "How are you today?"
Joker couldn't think of anything. "No but if they have a friend they want to invite go for it." Turning around Joker was about to walk away to resume his cooking but....He stopped when he heard Kit ask about her being in the kitchen. "Who said anything about licking the bowl of chocolate in the kitchen?" He asked, looking over his shoulder at her with a wicked grin.

Kit couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the other, “You are horrible, you know that?” Sticking out her tongue, she grinned at the other before taking a single step in the kitchen, looking amused. “Fine… I still wanna lick the bowl, though… but now I’m just not gonna let you in the kitchen when I cook. Jerk.” Of course, Kit didn’t mean that… she wouldn’t ban Joker from anywhere in a house that he paid for, nor did she want to. She liked being around the man, a lot, actually. “but, my phone is charging in said kitchen so… May I have passage, oh great one of the kitchen?”
As the man came in, Dusk smiled at him, “You’re in a good mood.” Kissing him gently, she wrapped her arms around him, thinking about that. “I’m good… but busy. Paperwork… What else is new?” She groaned, resting comfortably against him. “I really wish they’d let me have you help with this… but even the council has enough power to say that you need to be a damn king or something to help me.” Dusk glowered, “We need to find some loophole around that stupid law… But, alas, for now it can’t be helped. How are you?”

Joker tapped his chin. "Since you said it so sweetly, of course, lady of the house." He gave Kit a flourishing bow to the woman as some of the flour flew around him as he did so making seem as if he was some magician from the flour bowl. Straigthening up he winked at her and went back to beating the dough for the bread.
Kyoshi blinked and tilted his head to the side. "I'm fine." A look of consideration was in his eyes. Then, some sort of force inside him brought the next words out of his mouth. "Why can't I be King to help you?"

Laughing, Kit clapped her hands, grinning as she leaned over, kissing his cheek some, “Beautiful… Absolutely perfect.” She continued to grin before she went to get her phone, humming softly before sitting on a rare part of the counter that wasn’t being used for the feast. She wanted to be able to get his input if someone asked a question or something silly like that. What would she do if she didn’t know an answer? Look stupid? Hell no… The first call was to Rave and… he didn’t pick up. Glowering some, she called Kalore. The same thing. “I think people are working…”
When Kyoshi spoke, Dusk wasn’t too sure that she even heard him correctly. “W-What?” Stepping forward a bit, she listened to him, blinking for a moment. “Could you um… Could you say that again, Kyoshi?” She was sure that he didn’t just ask why he couldn’t be King… Well, she wanted him to be but… did he actually want to be? Dusk hadn’t taken him as someone that really wanted the power and if he did want it… that would require marriage and… Did Kyoshi actually want that with her? Of all people… her? They loved one another, but would he really want to be bound to her for life?

Chuckling, Joker was molding out the dough of the bread and adding some spices then putting back in the bowl with a moist cloth over it to place in the fridge to keep it cool and moist for baking tomorrow. Already he had many things seasoned, plucked, picked, and everything you can think of, pilling up in the frigde. Thankfully they had a large one so it can hold alot. "Then call Dusk ask her if she and Kyoshi can come over. After that ask her if we can have Gambler come over for a peacetime dinner and to command Rave and Kalore to come over. No doubt that elf is not eating." He grumbled.
Kyoshi blinked. "I said, why can I not be King to help you?" He repeated, raising a brow at the surprise that was coming from Dusk. Had he said something wrong? Perhaps he really wasnt' allowed to be King since he wasn't elf but that wasn't right because he wasn't going to give her up unless he was dead. No one else was going to take Dusk and be King to ruin all the good she has made. That might be why everyone is sending their suitors to her so it can happen.

She watched him for a moment, shock obvious on her features but… “I… I really don’t…” Thinking about that, Dusk looked down, her eyes still a bit wide. Did Kyoshi actually want to be her King? She knew that it wasn’t for power because he could go somewhere else for that and he had dealt with this for so long… “Kyoshi… I… I’d love for you to rule beside me but… I don’t…” He did know what it meant to be King, right? He wasn’t just being the Old Man and forgetting all these things that went into it, right? Looking back up at him, Dusk frowned some, “You’d… You’d have to marry me and… and we’d have to make sure that it would be recognized by the public… and… and… do you really want to go through all that?”
“If they weren’t eating then they’d be dead by now, dear.” Kit sighed some but she had to wonder… just how far was Kalore taking all of this? She didn’t think that he would do anything too extreme because it had been a few months by now but… she really didn’t know. He was gone for two weeks once and hadn’t eaten but that had been the longest and that had just been because he was distracted and lost out for a long time. He had gained the weight back nearly immediately. Kit hadn’t ever seen him go into such a depression that he didn’t eat for long periods of time, though. “What exactly are you making, anyway? Just in case someone asks…” She was already going through her list of contacts to find names.

Tilting his head slightly to the side, Kyoshi touched Dusk's cheek. "I know what I'm saying Dusk. I want to marry you and help you carry the weight of this nation so you don't have to suffer so much. I want to be at your side and tell you honestly if your making a wrong decision about something or your doing the greatest job in the world. I want to be there every step you take until it's time to step down." He smiled slightly and kissed her cheek.
"If possible I would love to have children who look and act like you, raising hell and once they become the rulers they know right from wrong. So long as they like me and have one feature from me and shoot Ziggy, I'll be happy. I want you happy." Kyoshi found that he was speaking from not only his heart but from his soul. Everything he meant it and would rather be struck dumb if he didn't live up to it. "I would rather you deal with me who's not power hunger but has a bad habit in shooting people than some stranger. Besides, those other men will have to try and kill me to get anywhere near you. I refuse to lose you, regardless if this thing about Kings needed. I want to be with you and if I have to marry you, I'll go to the ends of the earth to find you the greatest diamond ring and plan the wedding. Joker is cooking it." There that part of it was done now for the rest.
Joker blinked. "I'm making food, Kit." Obviously otherwise he was making human stew and he didn't anyone would appreciate that. No he was making three types of meat; pork, beef, and chicken, salad of all types, desserts, potatoes, rice, drinks and so on. "Tell Dusk I have the best rum in the world and other liquor. I got enough to get Rave and Kalore drunk." Hopefully that would work.

Kit raised a brow at the other before she rolled her eyes, “I doubt that either of them would ever get drunk… Well, maybe Kalore… but seeing Rave drunk? I’d pay for it.” She grinned as she sat back, allowing herself to call Dusk. At first she didn’t get an answer and before the third ring, she was scowling. Was everyone too busy to pick up their phones?!
Biting her lip, she reached up and hugged the man, unable to stop the surprise that was overcoming her. Kyoshi wanted to be with her, for real, and that… that amazed her. “I… I want you to be my king, Kyoshi, really, I do, but… but I’m not too sure on what to do about it if… what if they don’t allow it? I mean, I’m not going to allow some stranger come up and be king when I haven’t even done anything to make it obvious that I need help. I’m sure that I’ve done fine and… and I think things have gone well, but I do need help and I want you there with me.” Kissing his nose, she smiled more at the other, soon shaking her head. “But… But no more shooting Ziggy… one of these days, he’s going to shoot back and you don’t regenerate like he does…”
She laughed some, needing to do so before she started to cry. Kids, marriage… Kyoshi wanted all of this, with her. Of all people out there… with her. Sighing some, she was about to say more before her pocket was buzzing and she looked at it, noticing the name. “It’s… It’s Kit. Let’s take this, alright?” Answering it, she listened to her, nodding some at the dinner invite; they both had expected one sooner than later… but then a question came up that had her paled. “What?” Listening for a moment, she frowned before looking at Kyoshi. “Kyo… Joker’s invited us and the others to dinner… I think we accept but… but he wants to invite Gambler.”

Kyoshi smiled and held her close, stroking her cheek and nodded. "If they don't allow it then they will have to just settle with you and me as Queen and boyfriend Prince." He wanted to tell her more and talk more until she took the call from Kit. Watching Dusk pale he frowned and knew that mentioning Gambler made that. Shrugging Kyoshi was up for it. "Go for it. Since this is Joker he knows that she will behave and so will we." He kissed Dusk's nose.
That got Joker thinking. Perhaps he could slip some alcohol into the drinks and food for Rave and Kalore to see if they would loosen up a bit. It was slightly annoying to have them so...up tight.

Nodding some, Dusk and Kit spoke for just a moment longer before she hung up, her arms soon wrapping around the other man. “Now… where were we?” Kissing him gently, Dusk nodded again, “I want you to be my King, Kyoshi. We’ll find out how to get this done and what it’s going to take in order for it to happen but… are you sure that you’re going to be alright with the work and such? People are starting to like you and that’s good but… but what if they… what if they don’t like you being in power? Are you going to be able to take the ridicule and possible revolt?” It was ridiculous that that was an actual possibility but… Kyoshi wasn’t one of them and no one knew anything about him. It was something that she couldn’t blame them for.
Kit sighed some, running a hand through her hair. “They okayed it…” biting her lip, she looked at the number that she had written down. “And… And you don’t mind me calling her?” Joker had been the one that had asked for the woman to come, so Kit just dialed the number for Gambler, waiting. This would hopefully go well, but Kit hadn’t ever done anything to Gambler so she didn’t expect anything rude to be in her direction.

Kyoshi smiled and shrugged. "I'll take it as it comes to me. Besides, I have a nasty scowl that could shut them up and listen. But really, I'll do what I can and grow in to it." King were made not born and he would do his damnest to be the best out there with a horrible habit of shooting idiots. "Can I shoot idiots?" It was possibly a no but it never hurt to ask.
Joker nodded with a smile as on the otherside of the location Gambler was at her desk, finishing up the touches to some important papers when the phone went off. Looking at it she answered it with a soft, "Hello?" Not recognizing the phone number.
