A young boy answered the door, he looked scrawny and dirty. "Y-yes?" He asked as he looked at the two strangers. Martian looked at him. "Do you know a Mr.Cowskin-or whoever you know what I mean." Martian said waving his hand around. The boy looked even more fearful. "N-no, I-I'm sorry to inform you sir, y-you must have the wrong house..."


Riley walked in Alex's room, Alex had gone back to sleep, she looked at the beaten boy. "He knew..." was all that came out of her mouth.

"Calkstin," Penny said, looking briefly at the man she loved, then at the boy. "Mr. Calkstin. Ever heard that name before?" Penny asked, then before he had a chance to reply, she asked, "May we speak with one of your parents?"

Jason rolled over so he was laying on his stomach. Before he could stop himself, he began crying. Everything was so stressful, horrible, and nothing was working! He took this as a sign.

The boy looked even more nervous. "I'm sorry-I'm the only one here. My father is out at work, and my mother is at the market with my siblings..Maybe if you come back later..." The boy seemed to be hinting to the guards. In other words he was trying to say, he couldn't spill anything untill they were gone.

Riley silently walked into their room. Silently, not to bother Jason, she sat down on the bed and put her hand on his back. Shh, Jason, it's alright. I'm not mad-well I was. But I'm not anymore."

[Mew. :3]

Penny noticed his small hint. "Surely we can wait for your father to return.." She said, also making a small gesture, making it easy for him to understand she understood about the guards.

Jason hid his tear stained face in a pillow, resembling a child that didn't get what he wanted. Suddenly, he sat up quickly and hugged Riley, still resembling a small child. "It's not alright. it'll never be with us, Riley. Accept it.." He said quietly.

The boy had understood "Maybe we can sit for a cup of tea, while we wait." The boy said, making room for them to come Into the house, inside things were a mess, food everywhere, dirt everywhere, and the scent wasn't so pleasant either.

Riley shook her head "No matter what, I can never accept that. No one, and nothing can ever make me accept that." She said, patting his back as she would to a small child in distress.

Penny had no reaction to the sudden change in cleanliness. She was used to this kind of condition, she had lived in the ugliest house with a mother would couldn't do much, and Penny had no time to clean, so it was practically like this all the time. Anyways, when the door was shut, she looked to the boy, "Penny." She said, holding out her hand to him politely.

"Riley." Jason sighed her name. He laid back down, not caring about the stains. He closed his eyes, and reached under his pillow and pulled out his knife. He examined it for awhile.

Martain, being used to clean medicial conditions most of his life, wasn't use to the mess. The boy smiled at Penny. "My name it Boyd." The boy had very good manners. He looked at Martian with some sort of disgust. "I assume this is your, 'Lover'" The boy said with a slight hiss in his voice. Martian shooed it off. "I'm Martian." He said in his friendlist voice, Boyd ignored him and smiled at Penny. "I'm sorry for the mess, normally my mother cleans, but she's been out for a while now. But please, have a seat." Boyd said.

Riley watched him take the knife out of it's hiding place. If he was to kill himself, she wouldn't stop him, she couldn't stand to see him in this much distress.

[Mew. :3]

Penny nodded once, "Hello, Boyd." She glanced at Martian, then put her hand out. "Engaged." Penny said, and she smiled widely at Boyd's rudeness to Martian. It was kinda funny to her. "Oh no, no, I can deal with it. It's okay, if your mother is out." She paused, "Okay Calkstin. Ring a bell?"

Jason looked over at Riley, tossed the knife aside, and kissed her lightly. He pulled her into a hug, "You know I love you." Jason said softly, and he pulled from his hug and kissed her again, a little more meaningful this time.

Boyd nodded. "Of course, he's the one who's owned my family for years, my father was his slave, and my father got married therefore making my mother his slave as well." Boyd said. Martian went to speak but Boyd cut him off. "I understand you are friends of Queen Riley and King Jason, so I understand why'd you come, Mr.Calkstin has ordered us to find as much info about the child," Boyd said.

[Mew. :3]

Penny nodded once, "Hello, Boyd." She glanced at Martian, then put her hand out. "Engaged." Penny said, and she smiled widely at Boyd's rudeness to Martian. It was kinda funny to her. "Oh no, no, I can deal with it. It's okay, if your mother is out." She paused, "Okay Calkstin. Ring a bell?"

Jason looked over at Riley, tossed the knife aside, and kissed her lightly. He pulled her into a hug, "You know I love you." Jason said softly, and he pulled from his hug and kissed her again, a little more meaningful this time.
