Without warning, a very tired and tattered looking Keo tossed himself through the tower window and into the room next to the crying woman. He was panting and sweaty and his palms were red and scraped. His boots had been scraped at the front and his pants had torn open at the front. His duster coat also looked worn on the fore-arms. It appeared that he had climbed up the entire castle wall, something only the desperate would attempt. As he examined his surroundings and removed his hat he saw Queen Moombeam and shot to his feet, pressing his back to the wall. "Aw s**t, I just climbed out of the frying pan and into the fire, didn't I?"

Orcus turned to face the queen. "Well, I'm a drow and your my queen so a deep seeded fear of banishment and death keep me, loyaly, by your side." He loosened his positioning to seem more relaxed. "Aside from that, though. I guess I just took to you very quickly, I'm not sure why but something in me is telling me to keep you safe no matter what the circumstances." He gave a smirk and nodded in agreement with himself.
Orcus then turned to a torn up Keo. "Didn't I leave you in Yousei's hands for safe keeping?" He walked over to the man. "What are you doing climbing up a vertical wall and what did you do to look so torn up? The walls hurt but they wouldn't do that to you, would they?"

 "My nanny said it was my mother..." "...my butler says it is my father..." "...I say it is an annoying blue light that wont go away" Violet Moonbeam Violet was a bout to speak then stopped. She stood up looking cautiously around her. "Orcus... Did you just here something?" she said a bit worried that she didnt have her arrows with her plus her eyes were red and blurry from crying.

"Okay, let me explain," Keo attempted to stand but his knees buckled and he slid back down into a sitting position, "I went for a walk and some guard or something attempted to put me under arrest for 'possession of a human technology' and put a blade to my neck. I took off and they pinned me up against a wall so I did what I could to avoid a lance down my throat."

"My nanny said it was my mother..." "...my butler says it is my father..." "...I say it is an annoying blue light that wont go away" Violet Moonbeam "Orcus, why dont you lock him in one of the guest rooms for the night" she said handing him a key. She whipped off her eyes and put on a brave face. "Make sure the windows and doors in the room are Locked" she said then started to walked back down the stares and into the castle.

Orcus nodded and plucked the man from the ground. "Is there a law against human technology, my queen?" He wasn't sure of it himself so he asked, who else but the law maker herself. "If there isn't one then this guard needs to be taken in for questioning. Plus, regardless of whether there is one or not, he shouldn't be putting blades to the throats of civilians." Orcus held onto Keo's arm so that he wouldn't fall and waited for the queen.

Keo gently pushed his arm free of Orcus, "I'd rather you didn't" he said politely,"Thanks, but I can still walk.

Orcus looked down on Keo. "You've collapsed twice already. You are taking a room and you are going to stay in it for the night." He spoke as a commanding guard now.

"I've almost collapsed once," Keo said calmly, "and I'll gladly take the room, after getting stabbed, drifting down a river, chased and climbing a thirty-story tower I'm a little tired."

"...I say it is an annoying blue light that wont go away" Violet Moonbeam "No there is no laws" she said following them to the room. "I hope you know sir im locking you up because i do not trust a person climbing the wall of the castle's highest tower." she nodded at orcus knowing he'd know what to do then went back to her bed room.

Orcus walked to the hall and picked a guest room close to his. He opened the door and let Keo in. He then got to barracading the windows with an inky black magic that wouldn't let anyone in or out. It let in a bit of moonlight so that the room wasn't completely dark but it was still a very murky barrier. "Hope you have a nice night." Orcus nodded and closed the door behind him as he walked out, placing another barrier on it that wouldn't let anyone pass unless taken down. He passed by the queen's bedroom and used the same magic as before to create a light barrier that would warn him to it's breaking.
Orcus returned to his room and threw all of his amrour on the wooden manicans that were made just for that. He swiped his hands of his windows to protect them aswell, something he hadn't done before hand, and went to sleep with his dagger close by should anything happen.

Orcus woke up and noticed the slight sunshine through the windows. He didn't bother to go after the queen since it was early already and the new front guards should be getting in just about now. He put on his armour, picked up his weapon, walked out and to the guest room. He destroyed the barrier that locked Keo inside of the room and opened the door. "Wake up. It's morning and time to head down." Orcus waited at the door.

Keo rolled over and out of bed, pulling on his holster, boots, duster and hat. He gave a quiet cough and cracked his neck. As he walked out of the room, the queen's words from the previous night rolled over in his head:
"I hope you know sir im locking you up because i do not trust a person climbing the wall of the castle's highest tower."
Keo had only known one other form of royalty, a vampire prince that he had been assigned to kill. The queen reminded him of the prince, arrogent in vocal tone. He didn't blame her for being suspicious of him, but in reality he posed no threat to elves. Elven magic tends to have a good or lawful backing to it, making his anti-devil weapon ineffective against it. Not to mention that Elves are a peaceful race and wouldn't be the target of a devil-hunter.
Then another thought occured, the whole reason he climbed the tower was to avoid being assulted by an elven guard, which made him question the nature of elves in general. Keo shook his head and double-checked that Eclipse was still in its holser and it was (not to his surprise, for a marking on the gun's handle prevented anyone else from touching it unless they have the matching mark on their palm like Keo.)

"My nanny said it was my mother..." "...my butler says it is my father..." "...I say it is an annoying blue light that wont go away" Violet Moonbeam Violet sat at the end of the table and sighed. What was taking them so long? Finally called out "Orcus, breakfast!" She was going to make him eat this time weather he liked it or not.
