Have a Heart

(Ummm, what do I do? besides inserting random fillers?)

Kasey walked into the entrance way, clothed in a new red tunic that brought out the orangered in his hair. He raised a brow at the pair. "Daniel, why don't you take your friend for a walk through the Prince's garden. You're less likely to get eavesdropped on." He nodded towards the servants that had tried to look busy cleaning in the entranceway.

"I was kind of hoping to meet your fiance," said Bowan with some disappointment.

"Ellona's upstairs getting magic lessons," Daniel explained. "So was I until you came, actually."

(Would it be okay if he just took Bowan upstairs to Ellona and Gregory?)

(yes, I can think of something great to make Ellona actually seem somewhat feminie to Daniel and his friend.)

"Its your life." Kasey stated "End it how you so desire."

(lol yay)

"That's the one right we Heroes have," Daniel replied, beginning to go upstairs with Bowan.

"So, what's she like?" asked Bowan as he followed.

"Tough," Daniel answered.

"Tough?"

"Well...strong's a better word. She's a warrior princess," Daniel explained. "One that's actually good at it."

There was a loud shriek from up where Daniel left Ellona and Gregory followed closely by Ellona shrieking "GET THAT THING AWAY FROM ME!!!"

Daniel narrowed his eyes and ran ahead. "Ellona, what's going on?"

"Mouse?" Bowan guessed.

Daniel glared back at him.

"GET IT AWAY!!" Ellona yelled again.

"ITS AWAY! GODS! IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I'D THINK YOU WERE A GIRL!" Gregory yelled back.

When Daniel got to the room, Ellona was on her bed pressed back against the headboard and Gregory was over by the window.

"What happened?" asked Daniel in confusion.

"A bat" Gregory stated "Lonna's scared of them"

Ellona glared at him wordlessly.

Bowan laughed at that, until Daniel gave him a hard stomp on the foot.

"Excuse him, he's a moron," Daniel growled. "Anyway, this is Bowan."

Ellona glared at the two of them in silence.

"er, nice to meet you, I'm Gregory and that's Lonna" Gregory stated

Daniel didn't understand why he was being glared at too. Still, it didn't entirely surprise him either.

"Nice to meet you too," Bowan answered with a smile. He beamed over at Ellona. "So you're the warrior princess, huh?"

"Get. Out." Ellona snarled. She obviously didn't like the fact that the two of them now knew one of her secret fears.

"But I was just-" Bowan began, before Daniel dragged him outside with him.

Gregory didn't even need to be bid out with them, seeing as how he hurriedly followed and shut the door behind him. "Well that went better than anticipated" he smiled.

"What's the worst scenario?" Bowan asked.

"She throws a sword or knife at you," Daniel guessed.

"So you did notice the knives under her pillow." Gregory grinned. "And trust me, those things don't miss often"

Bowan paled considerably. "Your fiance's scary."

"That's what everybody says," Daniel answered dryly.

"She's not really that scary. Its a front" Gregory stated "She's just like any other girl really"

"Ah, I see," Bowan answered.

"Just don't tell her that," Daniel added.

"Or else she will kill you and hold no regrets on the matter." Gregory stated

"And don't underestimate her because she's a princess either," added Daniel. "I've seen her beat many others here."

"Huh, that's impressive," remarked Bowan. "So she's kinda like Rayna huh?"

"Rayna's nicer," Daniel replied.

"Who's Rayna?"Gregory asked "Is she a princess too?"

"She's the leader of the Pan Alto Guild. It's a Hunter's guild," Daniel explained. "And like half the males that know her Bowan's got a crush on her."

"Hey!" Bowan protested, flushing.

"The guys here used to be like that towards Ellona until Seirra became a page." Gregory informed them
