"Good." Galahad stood up, moving to leave.

Camus was satisfied with the eye roll; He would've been disappointed if she didn't continue to play hard to get. No fun in trying to win over a girl's heart if she just gives it to you so quickly, after all. Besides, he had only just gotten here, no reason to start deciding who your soul mate is quite yet.

"It's in your seat, I had to move it when I was cleaning up the table this morning." Gaheris replied, pointing to the chair his brother usually sat in during dinner. "Figured you'd still need it today though."

Kira paused and she sighed sitting next to Amelia anyways. She said quietly "Okay" she then said "I'm sorry...by the way...about yesterday. I should have respected your space"

Ryker's eyebrows rose, intrigued by how quickly this had been brought together. He walked over to Galahad and Percival.

"Thanks!" Gendry called, raking his hands through his hair. He was grateful in this moment he didn't live in the city proper. That was, until he spotted a massive group of what seemed to be new students ahead, but then he spotted red hair and a pointed hat and grinned. Looks like Suzanne was running late too. Summoning a vine to give him a boost over them, he called down to Suzanne, "Lose track of time, Miss Witch?"

Suzanne first noticed the vine arcing over her students, and then Gendry on top of it. She looked to the clock, noticing it was but a few minutes to the hour. "Shit," she muttered. Both her and Gendry were up for the TA position in Myrwin's Ancient Magic Class, and today was their final test. "Not so fast, Gendry Erikson!" She called, waving her wand so that the vine stalled and threw Gendry off, tumbling onto the ground with a grunt. "Sorry guys, I am in fact a little late, Thomas here will finish your tour and give you your welcome packets. See you in class tomorrow!" She said, before rushing off, dodging past Gendry who shot a dazzling green spell at her back, but with a wave of her wand it fizzled and disappeared. "SUZANNE HERON GET BACK HERE!" He shouted, scrambling to his feet and running after her.

Thomas appeared on the ground where Suzanne had been and seemed to clear his throat, before speaking. "Well, then." With a flick of his tail, he stood, and then looked at Camus. "You there, tall one, lend me your height," he said.

"I was just trying to enjoy my birthday, but I am...sorry I said such harsh things. You make my brother happy so I would never...try to discredit your relationship," Amelia said. "It is just not the same standard I have. In my life."

"So how did this come together?" Galahad asked once all three were together.

"Apparently he figured out a few allies rather quickly, and now he's compiling a list of citizen accusations backed up by guard accounts. He thinks we can force the captain to resign this way, but I'm not certain it will be so simple." Percival explained.

Camus watched the scene before him for a moment, looking down when he heard the voice in his head. Noticing the cat staring at him, he assumed it was Thomas there. "Oh yeah sure, get on little dude." Camus offered a hand for Thomas to climb up via.

"Your brother tells it to you all the time, and I'll tell him to lay off the gross details from now on" Kira said with a slight embaressed laugh. She then said "Well, I'll make it quick....I'll add the parts you didn't know about...the parts that concern my father."

"No, Kira!" Amelia said suddenly, standing up. Her voice was sharp and forceful, but soften to a regular tone as she spoke further. "I said no. I don't want to hear about how your fairytale romance had bad parts too, I don't want to think about romance and relationships at all. It's been nothing but that since I turned 18, I...I don't want it. Not yet. I don't even have the freedom to go outside, and I don't want to marry any of the boys I've known all my life, so please, just stop mentioning it."

Thomas chuckled. "I'm a cat, I land on my feet. Besides, it was amusing." He looked around, more than pleased with the height of his view. "We don't have much more of the tour, let's continue on,"

Ryker nodded in agreement. "A good idea."

(They also specifically don't want her to learn how to fight, it's considered un-lady-like.)
"For now..." Percival looked over to the group. "Guess we'll need to wait and let them work."

"Word might get to the captain this is happening, too." Galahad pointed out. "We might be in for a fight if he assembles the rest of the guard to break this up, under guise of insurrection."

"Alright," Camus looked behind them then forward again, confirming which way they were previously going. "I guess lets move on then." He called to the group, and started heading down the road again.

Kira decided not to push the issue, she relented saying "If that is what you wish"

Ryker nodded. “Hopefully this works, but I’m with Percival in that I doubt it will.”

Amelia wasn’t fond of the fact that Kira was trying to guilt trip her with that statement, but let it slide. “If you’ll excuse me, I need to find Emily. I have no idea where she is and that is fairly odd for her.”

(Hey can we talk about this? Did Richard tell Vxal everything? And why would he tell Emily? This is a huuuge secret I really don’t think should be thrown around willy nilly )

(Actually, let me explain that. I've been out of my mind for the past few days. I've been very undermedicated and i have not really thought plans through.

The plan was for Vxal to have Emily take Amelia away from the Castle because of what Richard told him last night. However, I decided against it because it didn't make sense. Sorry about that.)

Emily was in the Courtyard talking with her father. She didn't feel right beign this far from Amelia and to be honest she was kind of tuning him out.

Ryker narrowed his eyes as he caught sight of the guard hugging the edge of the crowd, and alarm bells went off as he angled away. "We've got a rat," he said to Percival and Galahad, nodding towards the departing guard.

Amelia wandered the halls, wondering why she couldn't find Emily. This was peculiar.
