River
A little smile tugged at her lips as she rested against whoever was carrying her. It was a nice feeling. Now she was on a bed, opening her eyes just in time to see the person that brought her there leave with an apology. She wondered what they had done wrong but didn't think on it to long. Instead she slipped off one of her gloves and traced the pattern on the blanket, and listened to the music coming from the party that she had not desired to attend.

he glanced over the happy crowd from a higher point in the ball room catching re eyes of few who quickly blushed and looked away but Rey weren't who he was looking over. He soon spotted nova in all her glory across the floor from him and went to her side a less then focused look on his face as he sipped from a drink he'd picked up on the way over to her.
"your sister is in our third spare room down that hallway " he said gesturing towards it with his free hand
"she saved me from getting into what would of been quite a fight."

Nova
She smiled at the prince, before he told her the news. Her smile became strained and she tensed up. She'd have to watch River more carefully in the future.
"Well thank goodness she was there again!" She whispered softly. A fight, depending on who it was with could have dealt quite a blow to the kings reputation and that would simply not do. She leaned a little closer and interlaced her fingers through his, her dress blocking their hands from view. "Thank you for watching out for her your majesty." She whispered softly, leaning close so he could hear her over the music. Nova was genuinely relieved that her sister was safe. She could have stumbled upon someone much less forgiving.

~Skyler
He never met her gaze his lips drawn in a tight line as he focused on a Icy pair of eyes fixed on him across the room
"Thanks to her I also have insight on someone I should of kept a closer eye on." he locked eyes with Telford who gave him a flimsy smile as Skye saw his fading claw marks down the side of the mans neck.
"Also I'm surprise your sister could get herself as tipsy as she did either." he quickly changed his attention to her eyes beginning to o just the slightest bit foggy.

Nova
Her gaze followed his to the lord and she wasn't the least bit surprised. The king would have to be a fool not to realize his uncle would make a grab for the throne. Nova had actually considered getting herself on his good side at one point but was now relieved she hadn't. Lord Telfords bold move had put himself, and those around him in danger. It was foolish to confront his nephew like that.
"She doesn't handle alcohol well. She normally wouldn't drink it, she must of been having one of her panic attacks and grabbed the first thing she could find." Nova said with a shrug. She noticed his attention had once again returned to her.
"You must be very tired your majesty, it's been a long day." She said with a kind, sympathetic smile

~Skyler
What she had said was true the day had took it's tole on him, he head wound from earlier had already began to throb again.
"my job is never done Nova,tonight will be a sleepless night of worry and meetings just like many before it. A night of peace hasn't been known to me since.." ge trailed off thinking of the loss of his mother then his father after, "awhile." he said summing up a winning smile to hide his short burst of grief.
" an besides that the parties only just started I can't leave so soon just to rest."

Nova
She watched him carefully with her calculating blue eyes. Now he wasn't just tired and stressed, he was obviously upset about his parents again. She frowned a little, trying to decide the best course of action to put him in a better mood. Nova glanced around, the party was coming to full swing, and nobody appeared to be paying them any attention. She leaned even closer to the king, her lips brushing his neck before she started to whisper in his ear.
"Please your majesty? For me? You look absolutely exhausted." Nova purred

~Skyler
He watched the bronze gears turn beneath the floor for a few moments before giving a sign of defeat,
" Fine I'll go." A faint smile curled up at the edge of his lips at her closeness to him.
He raised one hand to beckon a attendant of his over while the other loosened the tie from around his neck.
" Make sure the party is wrapped up by Midnight and that the grounds are secured unlike they were this morning."He ordered before turning in the direction of his room

Nova
A self satisfied grin started to creep up on her face. Everything was going so perfectly. That had simply been a little test, just to see if he would listen to her. She was was certain that soon the king would be even more receptive of her advances and he'd practically be putty in her hand. Nova would practically rule the kingdom. It was almost to easy, she had hardly been here a year and the king already considered her one of his closest friends. She almost felt bad, he was just so manipulatable. But that was why he needed someone like her to be behind the scenes. If she didn't take advantage of the young king someone else surely would. Nova actually had become rather attached to the man, just not as attached as she'd have him believe. Nova decided to follow him as he left.
"Your majesty!" She called as she chased after him down the hall. She caught up with him, her chest rising and falling from the running. Nova took both his hands in hers and pulled herself close to him so they were practically pressed together. She tilted her head back and looked up at him with her innocent blue eyes.
"Your majesty, can I see you tomorrow?" She asked quietly, staring into his eyes with adoration

[Caster_HD]

~Skyler
He quickly found his cheeks red hot from their closeness,
" Y-yes of course you can, I have a couple meeting to attend tomorrow But i'll be free in the afternoon." He told her
