Once Upon a Time - Medieval (open)

Serena Alice Jones
Eldest Princess - 18 - Elyadon
Serena looked down at her hands as she heard Tristan speak to her. She remained silent for a moment, searching for the right words. "I just had to talk to somebody." she replied quietly, looking at Tristan for a moment. "And if you want to know where it was about. It was about the fact I'm probably unwanted by KC." she replied, soft though her tone was harsh.

[ all princesses and princes should be making their way to the dining hall now, please. ]

His frown creased the corners of his lips. "Unwanted? No, Serena. You don't understand him. He's.. it's complicated, but we were talking just before dinner. He said, umm.. He cares for you, Rena." Where was the blasted food? Someone please help me out of this awkward situation.. "So, I suppose I'll be accompanying you back home. Tonight, right? Are you sure you don't want to stay until the morning?" The roads tended to be a lot more dangerous in the evening than during light.

Sparrow's mouth fell open into a slight "o" shape when she heard that there would be others. "The others?" she said hesitantly, but she did her best to banish her worries. She didn't usually play well with others, but she was willing to work on that in order to help the person who had done so much for her over the years. Without pursuing the subject further, she nodded at Cassia's suggestion. "I think I remember it," she said. Then, her face broke into a grin. It had been years since she had last seen Cassia, and she realized that this fact meant that Cassia hadn't had the opportunity to meet her new friend, her loyal companion Hawk. "You haven't met the latest edition to my little band of misfits," she said with a feral sort of grin, slipping out of the chapel doors. Sure enough, Hawk was waiting just outside of the doors for her, jumping up at the sight of her. "There's a good boy, Hawk," she said, crouching down and cupping Hawk's face in her hands before straightening up and looking back at Cassia. "Where is this tavern?"

Cassia's face lit up at the sight of Hawk, delight causing the corners of her mouth to lift ever slightly. "He's gorgeous." she said, reaching down and patting Sparrow's companion between the ears. As she straightened, she leaned over to pick up her basket of clothes from one of the closer pews that she had set down earlier. She threaded the handle of the woven basket onto her right arm, descending from the church steps. The nun beckoned for Sparrow and Hawk to follow, at the same time slipping her bible and rosary beads from her sleeve and into the basket. "The tavern is just down the road, that building there with the wooden sign." she said as they drew closer, indicating with a pointed finger. The sign read Oakden's Branch, the wooden building built sturdily at the bottom of a hill, in a sort of niche. A thick patch of trees surrounded the two-story cottage, making the place feel a bit eery but secure at the same time. "To the tavern we go." she said, leading the way towards Oakden's Branch.

~Arabella, Princess of Elyadon~

"No need, brother dear," Arabella said her voice full of more than her fair share of spite, forgetting that she shouldn't have been listening to their conversation. "I'm riding back with her tonight. Unless you'd like to ride in the carriage and I can ride back on my own. I'm sure you'd love to have that happen, seeing as the roads are dangerous at night."

Arabella's reply on Tristan was the drop for the eldest princess. She stood up, angrily. "Just stop fighting for once, you two!" she yelled at them, not minding at all there were people around. She was fed up from all of this. "We have just lost our brother and for others a close friend. And you two are just arguing here. Why don't you two don't appreciate the fact we're siblings?! We should get through this, as a family! I'm sick and tired of all this behaviour. Instead of realizing we have to cherish the time we are given together, people are only making it harder for eachother to express their emotion!" The girl was close to crying again, and she didn't mind the fact she was making a scene right now. She was so done with everybody at this point.

Arabella's face darkened, then clouded over with a sickening mixture of grief, sorrow, anger and shame. "I'm sorry Serena, Tristan," she whispered, standing from the table. She brushed her skirts off and turned to go. "I'm afraid I can't stay and say anything nice. So, I'll keep the peace and leave." She stopped herself, then plunged forward. "And no, this isn't an attempt to create a bigger scene or garner sympathy," she said, anger flashing behind her green eyes as she surveyed the table. "I was never meant to be a nice girl anyways."

Tristan drew back as both his sisters erupted. His mother didn't even notice, and sat rigidly beside their frowning father. The lords and ladies of the court immediately began whispering, pointing, hiding amused smirks. How dreadfully annoying. Instead of feeding his younger sister more harsh words, the prince gulped them down and turned away from his sisters, one of whom preceded to flee out the hall. His blue eyes burned, lowered to the tablecloth in part guilt and part anger. He hadn't wanted to make Serena feel bad, and only wanted to give Arabella a lick of discipline. She couldn't just prance about wherever or whenever she pleased.

Kaleb stood, his heavy chair sliding backwards on the polished marble floor, as Serena stood and began lashing out at her siblings. He quickly rounded the table, passing the kings and queens, until he reached his fiance. "Serena, let's go. Rena." he said softly in her ear, slipping his hands up and down her arms. He gently coaxed her towards the servants' passage, away from the prying eyes of the court, and exited the dining hall.

Serena watched Arabella leave, her gaze locked on her sister. She managed it to prevent herself from yellingat her it was disrespectful towards Aiden if she left now. Her gaze broke as two arms led her away, and the girl didnt quite realize it was KC at this point. 'Where's Nick?' she thought. Nick seemed to be the only one to prevent Arabella from yelling and leaving if anything offended her. She ignored the whispers of the court. They simply didnt understand how it was to lose a brother and have your other siblings fighting almost all the time.

~Arabella, Princess of Elyadon~

Arabella stopped outside the dining hall and leaned against the wall. Tears that she had held back now ran don her cheeks. "I'm sorry Aiden," she said to no one in particular. "I can't do it. I can't be the nice one. I can't be the smart one, or the funny one or the pretty one." She slid down the wall and sat on a short bench, burying her head in her hands. "Tristan and Serena will be furious," she said to herself. "But I can't go back in there and pretend that Aiden isn't there, and that Nick hasn't shown up yet." Her mind froze and a sickening thought passed through her head. Where's Nick?

-Gypsy-Elyadon-With: Cassia-
Sparrow made a quiet affirmative noise in the back of her throat, indicating that she had heard and understood. She followed Cassia closely, Hawk following quick on her heels. It still did make Sparrow uneasy to walk through the cities like this, but she was trusting Cassia. She saw the building the nun indicated, recognizing that she had indeed passed it on the way to the chapel. It was a rather eerie loooking place, shrouded by a thick patch of trees that hid most of it from view, but Bird was almost comforted by it. Hidden, just how I like it, she thought as they approached. "So these others you speak of," she muttered to Cassia, allowing her voice to trail off. "How many are we talking?"

Ethan
"The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege."
-Charles Kuralt-
-Knight-Avalon-With: Lucifen-
Ethan nodded, satisfied with her decision. He was rather unfamiliar with that area due to his post. His duties took him around the borders of the kingdom mostly, what with the rising tensions between Avalon and Elyadon. It took him near his hometown almost every shift, bringing the memories from his childhood fresh to the surface. Hopefully going somewhere unfamiliar would take his mind off of it. "Lead on," he said with a grin.

Lucifen spurred her horse onwards, the mares hooves pounding against the soft green grass and dirt of the countryside. They sped past the forest, now a green and brown blur, delving deeper in Avalon's kingdom, but drawing ever closer upon the border with Elaydon. Lucfien smiled, her bun starting to become loose as she rose. Thick strands of auburn hair whipped around her face, the force of the wind blowing them backwards. Her shirt was fluttering around quickly, occasionally making a small snapping noise. Lucifen didn't even bother to check if Ethan was following her, she was lost in a feeling of pure bliss and freedom.
