(I hope I am not missing anything...I skimmed over most of the previois posts to catch up.)

~Serena amd Magnus~
Serena looked over at Sol keeping her composure, but Serena knew her well enough that she disagreed with this arrangment probably as much as she does. Serena raised her eyebrows and turned her head away when their father mentioned then being fragile. She almost laughed at the thought. They may just be submissive women in the publics view but they have so much more buried in the princess attire and the kingdoms expectations of them. Serena watched King Magnus look around the whole room almost like he was scoping out where he would mount all of their heads. Serenas thoughts may have wondered too far off, when she brought her thoughts back she looked at her parents. King Magnus nodded his head in agreement with King Ike "Of course. Your daughters safety will be my top priority, just like my own two sons. My sons will be great leaders one day, and even more great with joining in marriage with these two wonderful princesses." Magnus words rolled smoothly out of his mouth as if a serpent was silentley slitherimg around the open room deciveing everyone it spoke to. "I can take the two princesses back with me for a a few days to see or kingdom and meet my two sons. We can leave in the morning if you, King Ike and the Queen agree. I will have plenty of guards ride along with us to ensure their safety." Magnus said giving a slight bow, before glancing at the two young women.

(And I just relaized I never did Alyssas reply to cole. I will get that up too. It has been awhile since I have done all of this so I may also be rusty at first. Sorry)

~Nic~
Nic placed his fist under his chin, taking his thumb and rubbing it underneath. "Well, depends on how far you want to go. We could add a few special little vials to his water and food. Make him sick enough he can't continue running the buisness. We could release the hunting dogs a few blocks down and coax them in with the nice fresh meat. Don't think a lot of people would like to come back after that, which in turn ruins his buisness. I could always come in and decieve him. Tell him I am here for buisness about some health problems. Shut him down or pass managment to you." Nic said looking back to Arabella. "Or we could always kill him." He whispered looking as serious as he could before laughing. "Nah I was joking about that last part. But, if we could turn enough people against him they would love to switch over managment to someone much better. Like yourself." He said finishing off his plate.

~Airen~
Airen observed his brother letting loose and having fun with Taura. It made him happy seeing his brother not be so distracted dealing with the kings drama. Airen took another drink before chuckling at Tauras question. Airen rubbed the back of his head. "Well. Well...I don't know. I may just have to finish up some of fathers work before he raises heck when he comes back." He said, before mentally kicking himself. He could enjoy one night. "Well heck." He paused downing the rest of his drink. "Do you have any suggestions for an uptight prince that doesn't know how to have fun?" He questioned laughing but sadly that was pretty much true in Airens case. He was afraid to indulge in such activities with the king around, plus Airen always being a Work alcoholic didn't help matters.

~Alyssa~
Alyssa listened to what Cole was saying and ad he took her hands im his she smiled sweetly at him. "Oh, you are such a charmer mysterious man." She said as she snaked her hand into the hood of his cloak where he stashed his money earlier (post 3 I had ro re read the posts) "Does that really work on everyone?" She asked changing her demanor and holding up a few coins. "I think this will serve the cost of the time you have taken from me." Alyssa said raising a brow. Every now in then the pirate in her spiked in these situtations.

(Alyssas post is up. I had to re-read the post)

[Shellpepper]

Merp... There's just so much to type!

[XxMystic]

Take your time no worries we can even shorten the responses of that makes it easier

Cole watched her with a grin, even when she stole some of his money. "A lady of your beauty, I'm impressed that you didn't expect more," he said even as he took his things back and dumped the rest of the money he'd earned into a leather pouch. He tied the straps to his belt then dropped the bag down the inside of his trouser leg. "Let me get you breakfast as well."

Arabella rolled her eyes and smirked. "You certainly seem convinced that I want to manage a skeezy pub in the middle of the Tusks," she said. She took his plate from him. "More?" She headed toward the food again.

[XxMystic]

Do you want me to reply to these 2 or wait for the other posts to be up?

[Shellpepper]

Just reply

~Alyssa~
Alyssa twirled a piece of her brown wavy hair in between her fingers in thought. "Hmm. That will do." Usually she wouldn't waste her time with things like this. She had goods to haul and trade on her ship, but she did just land and she eas hungry. "Lead the way mysterious man." She said moving to the side of him with her arm out motioning him to lead the way.

~Nic~
Nic rolled his shoulders up, shrugging. "My apologies lady. I assumed too quickly." He said pausing once more before continuing on. "Well in that case, you can run away. Live life on the road. That's what I do, and I've made it just fine." He offered her. "Sure, just some cheese toast will do, and grab something for yourself. I have enjoyed talking with you." Nic finished as she left. 

[Shellpepper]

Cole grinned. "Good," he said. He put a hand gently against her back and guided her toward a local cafe.

Arabella shook her head. When she returned with his cheese and bread she sat down. "I don't think that life would do for me," she said softly. "I'd like it to, but there's safety in numbers." She looked outside the door from her seat and shrugged. "I like being around people too much to always be an outsider, always apart from them." Her cheeks reddening, she looked at him. "I didn't mean to imply that you're an outsider." She realized that was exactly what she'd said and she bit her lip.

[XxMystic]

Alyssa allowed him to guide her as they went through the town. Her eyes darted aroumd to each building until it landed on an older wooden building with smoke coming out of the chiminy. "What about that one?" She asked. "Is that one good with you?"

Nic smiled graciously. "Thank you my lady." He said appreciating the food. Nic shook his head while taking a bite of his food. That wasn't the first time he had hesrd that, but he knew she didn't mean any harm. It was true. That is what he has become. "No harm done ma'am. That's what I am. I don't mind though. I enjoy it. I usually stay in one town for only a few days at the max. How long have you lived here?"
