The young blonde stood listening carefully as she could to the Runemeth's General's report on what had happened. As carefully as she could while her thoughts were on overload that is. An attack...there had been another attack on her family and this one was closer to the palace. Akira had been gathering herbs in the garden after all. That made the second one in less then twenty-four hours with one innocent casualty as a result. How many more attacks against her and her family would there be? How many more innocents would get caught up in this mess while they were the targets? Aralynn didn't know the answers and she wasn't totally sure she wanted to discover them. Still to hear that Akira was alright and in, she assumed, capable hands of someone to watch her back, was more then comforting. "Thank you for this news General. I am confidant that the lady of whom you speak and my sister will both return well to the castle...that is no doubt where the princess is headed. You have my permission to aide in the search for them and bring them both here. I'd be most grateful. If you require something, like a horse for instance, only say so and it will be your's.", Aralynn replied agreeing to accept the offered help of the vampire general somewhat more relaxed. Or at least trying her best to give the impression of stoic calm despite not knowing how she was doing at it.

Though with their conversation the apparent state of the armor-clad general didn't go unnoticed. Had a certain dark haired young man not been there as well, then Aralynn would have called the guard right there and demand answers. Both Kenji and his companion had clearly been through a lot by both looks and sound. And for no reason. While Xander was a mystery to her, the man was quite possibly one of her people and with the vampire vouching somewhat for him... "Normally with these circumstances I would have him thrown back into a cell for questioning.", said the human queen, "But, with you speaking of his character, then I'll grant him his freedom as long so you may observe his character more closely. I have no wish to needlessly execute or torture my people who are already under siege. But I will not tolerate risks to my family and kingdom's future either." Now she turned to address the man whom she spoke of, "Hear me Sir because I mean every word of this vow. If you threaten my people or our alliance with Runemeth by harming General Spiro then I will see you beheaded. On my word as Queen of Emberelic." Taking a breath then, "Now I must get a letter to His Highness to explain this mess and apologize profusely. Hopefully some form of this alliance will remain by the time I have cleaned everything up." The teen eyed both men with a look of concern braking through the professional at their appearances though causing her pause. "I'll summon a apothecary for you both and have rooms prepared. You'll be my personal guess tonight."

When Fallon caught up to Konan he stopped looking down at her for a moment. Rubbing the back of his head, he knelt down beside her resting his arm on his knee. "You know when you just run like that it really does nothing for me. I can't help you if I have to chase after you just to see whats up. It wasn't like I was going to be messy and risk getting blood everywhere...you'd probably have my neck if I ruined your clothing.", he said with a sigh not sure why she was so upset all of a sudden. "You're afraid of that thing right? So I figured why not kill it, until some kid came and collected it. Apparently it was a loose pet."

" really now? I had heard from my late parents there was always something special about Runemeth. It was almost as if the city flourished at night as compared to today. There were these rare flowers that bloomed at night, and the castle had a garden that only could be visited by a select few because the flowers were so fragile. I believe they called them ghost orchids? That's the picture they painted in my imagination anyways. "

" Well, It may not benefit your people or family....but it'd benefit you. For one who never does anything but sacrifice their wellbeing for others, it is ok to be selfish every now and then." he said, before he tensed. There was someone approaching...someone who wasn't quite human. If it had been a human, he would have taken cover in the shadows unless Aralynn needed protection. However, since it was a vampire, he stayed on guard, pulling Aralynn gently behind him in a protective fashion. However, he couldn't help but feel there was someone awake in the back of his mind, silently watching and listening to the conversation. It was about halfway through Kenji's story when that ever-so-hated voice spoke in his head. [i] You know, It takes quite a bit to put me down for the count...but i'm not even near my full strength. That being said, it was rather rude of you to shut up your guide...therefore, I think I'll take back control for now. [i] Al had barely any time to brace himself before Adrian took over, maintaining Al's momentary mannerisms. The only change, that anyone would note (and even then it was unlikely.) was the slight change in the shade of blue of his eyes. From that point he remained silent for the rest of the story, even as the other vampire looked at him in an almost warning manner....hm...who was that vampire again anyway....he seemed familiar....Ah, that's right. Kenji. Kenji Spiro, his old...well, that wouldn't be discussed at this time, might as well not reflect on it. When Kenji eyed him again, however he gave the slightest of smirks. Would Kenji recognize him in this state? Or would he brush it off as just dejavu?.

Xander//human, hunter//location: Ember, castle//tags: Kenji, Aralynn, Alejandro/Adrien

The human hunter gave a shaky breath as he realised that he was being ignored for the moment, snapping his mouth shut firmly after he had gave a quiet sigh of relief. Luckily his bow included himself facing the floor, so his informal mishap went unnoticed. Hopefully.

Though staying on one knee with his other as the resting point of his arm, Xander could not keep the stance for very long and slowly peered up at Kenji’ face when there was a moment of silence. For the first real time, the man could detect the other’s confusion and perhaps a hint of betrayal. He quickly silenced his thoughts at this discovery. He was particularly good at such observations with forest animals he hunted, so it was entirely plausible that Xander had overanalysed the situation. He would still keep his faith in the general’s confidence he had shown him in the dungeon below.

As Kenji gave his take on their situation, the civilian moved his eyes to focus back on the ground. His concentration was fully on the story as the vampire told it, finding his own learnings matching up accurately to both his own testimony and the plan Kenji has briefed him over during their escape. This was a man that would keep his word, even if he wasn’t human.

Speaking of not being human, the man tentatively looked up again as he recalled the suspicious character beside the queen. He was no advisor that he knew of in his limited kingdom knowledge, and the way he was dressed certainly drew him apart from any normal noble, guard, or staff. Xander trained his attention on the man in question. Kenji appeared thrown off by his appearance, and the ranger was quite sure that the others’ eyes had changed ever so slightly in hue. This made his own features crease in concern as his crouch had already begun to resemble that of his occupation waiting to let an arrow fly.

Of course Xander had no intent to attack anyone or present himself in a threatening way, so his silent observations stayed just that- observations. Plus his lack of bow and ammo would hinder any surprise attack he hypothetically could have had up his sleeve. Figuring these thoughts would make him accidentally say something he didn’t actually mean, Xander’s eyes shifted over to the queen. She already had a bond with Runemeth’ military commander, and was reasonably worried for the safety of the heir the two of them had defended. The brunet grew slightly more interested at the mention of the two that had galloped off on horseback. They really didn’t know how they were doing at the that point, and that factor caused Xander to give an alarmed side-glance to Kenji. They were all leaving their fate up to chance now? He cared for his people’s safety, but if the assassins were so quick as to arrive and leave before the royal guard showed up then they were certainly skilled enough to catch up to Akira.

Xander attempted to control his breathing as more concerns crossed his mind. They would find them safe and sound, someone of Akira’s status plus whoever Jessica was more promising than most in that kind of situation. Instead of dwelling on it the hunter slowly stood up to join the rest of those talking (bc his legs were tired haha).

Just as Aralynn’s gaze finally rested upon him if just for a moment, Xander felt glad that it was one of slight sympathy at his and Kenji’s sacrifices. This gladness was nearly replaced as he heard her next words to him. It was yet another threat to his head, and though a reasonable caution the accusation still stung the man’s pride. As if to make is worse, the first part was said as if he were not even in the room. Xander did not visibly react to it aside from his lips at a hushed mutter of, “even if I wanted to lay a finger on him I couldn’t.”

At the mention of an apothecary and a private room Xander seemed to perk up a tiny bit and once more looked over to Kenji questioningly, then back to Adrian and then to Queen Aralynn. He supposed it could’ve been predicted with their responsibility to one of the kingdom’s heirs, but it was a surprising offer nonetheless. The commoner wondered if he should actually speak up with his gratitude , though decided that a mere nod of thanks would suffice.

Theo//vampire, civilian//location: Ember, castle?//tags: Ren, Ruby, Akihito

Theo continued to watch the prince, a new curiosity piquing his interest. Surely there were numerous questions floating about Akihito’s mind, especially with the emergence of the vampires’ existence. Then again, the concept of a ‘vampire’ was coined from him as soon as Theo had exposed himself as a talking dog. Just how much had the royal known of them before that? It appeared as if the darker-haired man had questions of his own, however he valued them more private matters and thus wished for an ensured solitude before he asked them. For now, the black and white cat merely graced Akihito with a perplexed glance of his own.

Then, at the heir’s request, Theo dipped his head. “As you wish. Guess I was too heavy of a cat for you.” He winked, then stood and hopped down from his perch in Aki’s arms. There was a quick survey of the scene to make sure no one was about as the transformation started. At first it seemed to begin as a normal cat shaking out their pelt- and as fast as the procedure took place, there was still a noticeable difference as Theo grew in size. The dark, shaking, four legged mammal grew taller, his head, tail, and paws gradually shifting until they resembled the features of a wolf. Or more namely, a Belgian Shepherd with a few white hairs upon its head.

The ‘new’ Theo let his tongue hang out of his mouth as he regarded Ruby and Ren with a tail-wag of farewell, a small whine erupting from his throat as he moved to touch noses with a hand of each. He hurriedly returned to Akihito afterwards and even trotted a few steps ahead of him. It was safe to say there were a lot of obvious scent trails that lead to the main door of the castle. Theo’s ears angled to whatever noises sounded nearby and decided that they would be safe to talk for a moment. “Garlic... is a new one. I don’t personally care for it since it throws off my tracking abilities, but taste-wise I don’t think it’s necessarily bad.” He woofed, stopping at the gate to scratch his ear with his foot. “Um, invitations into places are also a misunderstood stereotype- that’s mostly because a lot of us are old fashioned and actually polite. Sunlight obviously doesn’t damage us too much, just makes it easier for us to get sunburns.” The dog thought aloud as he spoke, adding other details and wondering softly if giving this information could risk his future survival. Then again, knowing such things could also help someone who could be attacked by vampires. This thought in mind, he continued.

“Yes, a stake in the heart could kill anyone, even a vampire. Honestly don’t know why this one’s a thing specific to vampires considering pierced internal organs are dangerous anyway, but eh. And yeah, silver kinda gives me an allergic reaction. It was mostly a rash around my neck when I found a cool silver necklace, but if it stays on long enough I start smoking. This actually brings me to my next question- how do you know so much about us?” His voice quieted as he stepped into the keep. Though he strayed only a pace in front of Akihito, he stopped and stared back to Akihito for his own question. Before he could answer though, his nose rose into the air and he stiffened. Without an explanation Theo raised his hackles and stuck his snout to the floor. The fur on his back stood up as he realised of the two vampires’ entrances into the keep.

She shrugged as she looked at the other girl a moment. She quickly looked away again, playing with the gelding’s mane a moment. She hummed quietly as she listened to the human princess, perking up at the mention of the night. She sighed when the castle was mentioned. “I’ve...never actually been to the castle...Well, not inside or at the garden, anyhow.” she said. “Some vampires do stay up late and have parties and such, though.” she said, still leading the way.

He tilted his head upon seeing the look on the vampire’s, cat’s, face. Shrugging to himself, he hummed as he carried said cat. Perhaps Theo was wondering how he knew so much...well, he wasn’t going to tell unless asked. He huffed quietly at the glance from the cat, shaking his head. He snorted when Theo mentioned being heavy. “Ha...no, I just can be convincing about having gotten you from a dog breeder, or something...Aralynn probably would believe you to be a stray cat, just as that stupid guard did.” he said, shaking his head and letting the cat jump down. He was intrigued by the transformation, tilting his head as he just saw a cat shaking himself out, at first. He squeaked upon watching the height change, the change in features to a canine, and the slight change of fur. He was once again faced by the Shepherd whom had pinned him earlier.

He watched the dog regard the vampires behind them, sighing but not stopping him from his good byes. He allowed the dog to even stay ahead of him, seemingly being guarded by said dog. He watched the ears, then Theo- dog was speaking to him. “Well...I know humans who don’t like the smell or taste of it...” he said, shrugging. He watched him scratch, then said “Well...I’m glad you’re polite. There’s fair skinned humans who burn in sunlight...” he huffed. He smiled at the fact Theo told him this, definitely not going to sabotage him...He smiled lightly at the dog, nodding at him. “Well, yes, of course it could kill anyone...You’re right about the internal damage.” he huffed, again. “You’re allergic to silver? You...your body smokes?” he asked, wondering what that looked like but not willing to make it happen...When asked how he knew, he muttered “A...A book...I found a book hidden, someone a long time ago saw vampires and wrote it...” He tilted his head when the dog stared, jumping a little when the dog stiffened and raised his hackles...Well, maybe Theo hadn’t heard him speak. “Wh-What, what’s wrong?” he asked.

Henrietta was nosing and nuzzling her vampire as Fallon arrived. The hound gave him a long stare, then moved her gaze and attention back to Konan. The dressed-up vampire, meanwhile, shook her head then coughed. She turned her head just slightly to eye him a moment. She giggled a bit when he mentioned her clothes and how she’d smack him for messing them up. However, she winced when he mentioned killing the animal... “It...wasn’t a purebred lynx?” she asked, head raised and tilted now. He needed to tell her... “You tell me that, and I’ll talk to you...” she muttered, shaking her head.

Koon, a beautiful tan, dark brown and white sheepdog, yipped and pawed at his owner. Jamie huffed at their dog, blinking open their eyes and staring over the side of the bed at him a moment. He’d settled back down down there after they’d huffed. They sat up, swinging their feet over the edge then standing. Stretching, they brushed their hair, changed into day clothes and went downstairs, Koon by their side.

" Hm..what a pity. It would have been nice to know if their stories were true. Maybe I would've even been motivated to visit once evrything settle downs...." she spoke before hearing what Jessica said about vampires, giving her a slightly confused look before returning her gaze to the path before them. '" Please pardon my hesitance to believe you on the existence of... vampires, you called them? . While it would explain quite a bit, please udnerstand it is quite a bit of information to process at this time.... but say they are real, may I ask what the appeal of the night is to them? The stars are nice and all, but....does the night not consist of much but dull and monochrome colors? A gray-scale montage of hues? In additon, most animals function during the daylight hours, along with creatures like the Swallowtail butterfly. Are they not missing out on the wonders of daylight?"

((You’re right Spirit, I was just going off the two because they’re there at that moment & probably have fresher scents))

Theo//vampire, civilian//location: Ember, castle?//tags: Ren, Ruby, Akihito

Theo thought of the idea of a dog breeder being more convincing than a cat, cocking his head to the side thoughtfully. Either case would could easily make him a ‘stray’, though dogs were likely more easily spotted as purebreds. He supposed it checked out. The topic wasn’t enough to earn an unnecessary comment though.

Then, as the vampire listened to Akihito’s response, he felt a doggy grin taking shape on his face. It wasn’t as obviously a grin as usual, since there were many reasons for canines to pant as they do, but Theo figured the prince would at least assume he was in a better mood. “Sure, I can be a sunburnt, garlic-allergic, polite dog. That would die if you stabbed it in the heart.” He yippee light-heartedly, his trot turning into more of a prance as he slowed his speed a bit. “I suppose silver could count as an allergy too? Certainly some things can cause people to give rashes, actually being burnt shouldn’t fall too far, eh?” The Belgian shepherd walked more normally now, somewhat slowly as he awaited an answer to his question. When it came with slight hesitance Theo looked sharply but calmly back to him, his pointed ears angled toward the human at the mention of a book. “I should like to take a look at that after we deal with whoever is in this castle...” The vampire growled under his breath, his tone becoming a little more menacing than he realised. “Aki, listen to me now and listen close. You shall act like I am a normal dog even with my... current... behaviour. There are other vampires on this land and I’ve heard rumours of some of my kind aiming to take your ruler’s throne.” He said steadily, his tense pose shifting only to creep ahead a bit. His head had not moved from where it was lowered with his chin barely brushing the carved stone floor, however his eyes (light in contrast to his dark fur, as opposed to their appearance in his human form) were flickering about the shadows in the corners. Though his personality seemed to have changed entirely he was not as cautious as he had been with Ruby’s attack, mostly because he could not immediately sense anyone unwelcome in the specific area they were in. Still, a vampire in the castle was a far different scene than one roaming about the city.

Just as the pair passed some guards Theo let up his caution a bit and walked confidently through the walkways, following the trail that an unfamiliar human and a somewhat familiar vampire had left only moments prior. All the while the canine’s ears were angled back, carefully noting each step that Akihito took after him. Eventually, when the coast was clear from guards and they were only about a hallway away from the queen and her acquaintances, Theo backed up a bit and brought his muzzle up to the heir’s hand. That way, he could talk without rising too much suspicion and he could also provide the teenager slight comfort in a time of uncertainty. “I’ve never smelled your guardian before, but I am quite sure they are close to someone dangerous.” The wolf-like creature warned, continuing, “They might see me as a threat as well, both to your name and themselves. We best be careful.”

Theo hushed his voice and moved his head so Akihito’s hand was now on his head, his dog instincts begging for a few more scratches despite the situation. As the vampire played a few scenarios in his head he decided that, if both royals were in danger, his primary responsibility would be to protect the prince.

She sighed as she shook her head. There went Akira again, telling her about her doubt. Snorting so it couldn’t be heard, she patted Carniss a moment. The gelding and Zephyr continued walking down their laid out path, where the redhead guided. She shook her head, glancing about a moment before returning her attention to the human with her. She shrugged as she glanced to the blonde. “It’s because they can hunt easier...Most vampires feed from humans.” she sighed. She noticed the castle far ahead.

He hummed quietly as he glanced to the dog a moment, own head tilting as though in imitation of the dog Theo. He noticed the dog grin, smiling a bit, and hummed as he glanced to the ground a moment. He looked up when the dog spoke. He giggled a bit, then shook his head. “Sunburnt garlic allergied polite dog...” he muttered, shaking his head at the stab part. He smiled at the fact the dog yipped and pranced, nodding at him. “I guess? I’ve only heard of like nickel and copper causing allergic reaction rashes...” he muttered. He shrugged at the burnt part, as well.. Humming, he tilted his head as he glanced to the dog. He watched the ears a moment, then shook his head at himself. He swallowed at the growled menacing, flinching a bit... “O-Okay...” he muttered, glancing fully at him when he spoke. He huffed a bit but did in fact listen to the other male, humming a moment then silencing. “Yes, it’s strange behavior.” he giggled, then looked solemn. “Vampires are trying to get the Embere throne?” he snorted. Why the heck would they want? Shaking his head, he watched the dog keep his muzzle to ground though speaking. He tilted his head as he glanced about once more, wondering why the dog was still doing so...Shrugging, he turned his attention to walking.

They passed some guards, whom he simply raised a hand in acknowledgment to, then they were away from them. He couldn’t smell anything...naturally, but apparently Theo was, seeing as he was a dog right now, with a dog’s nose. He kept his head down a few moments, not noticing the dog’s attention to them, or that they passed by guards and finally got away from where they’d be. He just continued to walk, so focused on it he didn’t know where they were, and he squeaked when muzzle touched hand. He finally raised his head, looking to the dog. He let him talk, though showed obvious worry. “She...She’s with someone dangerous?” he whimpered quietly, in case someone should pass by. He shook his head, sighing, then nodded at the vampire-in-dog-form once more. “O-Okay...” he muttered. He made a small sound when the dog moved so hand now rested on head, shaking his head again. He hummed quietly as he did as the dog seemed to want, scratching lightly behind pointy and silky ears.

The girl tensed upon hearing that vampires hunted humans. " H.....Humans? They hunt....people?" she stated worriedly, clearly a bit freaked out upon that fact, but she didn't do much else in regards to the new knowledge. Had jessica wished to harm her, she would've done so by now. " But..why people? Could animals not work just as well?"

Yet his attention was once again changed as the scent of yet another vampire and one of the heirs started permeating the air. Narrowing his eyes the male had to focus on not baring his fangs as he spoke through gritted teeth. " It appears we have some unwelcome guest nearby." unwelcome could mean many things. Intruders, for example, or in this case people he personally didn't want around at this moment in time. He didn't want to have to explain his presence to the heir, but he could vanish with that other human near Kenji. In addition, though he wasn't sure if the other vampire was friend or foe, it was going to be hard to feed at this rate. The other vampires would smell the queen's blood and come running, thinking she was being attacked. Letting out a huff, he pulled the hood of his jacket back over his head, concealing his identity as best he could.
