Rukan chuckled slightly with some sympathy at Edward's comment. She shrugged, there wasn't much that she could actually say that would make him feel better or happier. "Things will work out the way they will, there's not much that you can do."
Rukan smiled happily at the older squire, "That would be great!" She paused, "Which border?" Though she knew from the way that Edward was talking that he meant the one where she was stationed almost permantently. She laughed as Edward's face went pale, "Oh Edward! We rarely fight the Stormwings, we just have to chase them away, and the giant-like men, well... you'll leanrn how to fight them, avoid their hits and take them down!"
She shook her head. "Not often, no. Only where there are important visitors, and even then I rarely get it."
"But enough of this talk for the moment! How has life been here at the Palace? What have I missed?" She was eager to learn what had gone on, no matter how trivial, while the boys craved her tales of the border, she craved news from Corus.

"Yah. We'll ask him when he gets ba..." Jack noticed who Edward was now talking to. He hadn't noticed before because her back had been turned. "That's Rukan! Not fair! Edward got her first!"
Turning back to Artemis, he realized he should explain that outburst. "Rukan tells awesome stories. We never get to see her anymore, so there's always a fight as to who gets to hear the stories first. Edward won this round." Jack waved a fist in Edward's general direction.
"I'm here as often as possible." Jack answered. "My Knight Master has family here, and likes to see them as often as possible. So, we do go fight, but we come back at every opening."

Realizing he had just damped the mood a bit, decided to go for a little bit of his goofy side. "ME? Go against THAT?" He pointed to himself and the Roxas. "I mean look at him! He's blond, blue eyed (I think), tall, apparently gorgeous, and let us not forget," Edward attempted a mock-angry look "Older and more experienced." He tapped his foot 'impatiently' to complete the mood. "Am I not correct? Does he not MOVE you?"
Edward pocked Rukan in the nose lightly and said "Yours!", even though Rukan knew that before he had said that. Edward was reassured about the Stormwings, but the giants... "I suppose you would attempt to aim for the ankles and behind the knee, yes?"
Edward thought about that. Just water all the time. "Lovely." He said sarcastically.
((We crave your tails, huh? *hehehehehe*))
"Well, lets see. Jack and Loki have grown to inches to my half an inch, and are still fighting over my little 'sis. Annie gets wierd dreams at night and falls asleep on my lap randomly in the garden, nearly destroying her reputation. That was embarrasing. As you can see, Roxas is courting Annie, the flirt. And I'm..." Was there anything new about himself? "Glad for your company again. You are the only girl I can tell everything to and not have to hold anything back. Other then that, there's nothing to report."

To say that she was surprised by Jack's outraged cry would be an understatement. Either there was something that the guys were doing that was unknown to the court or it was something else she was oblivious to.
Though she didn't have to wait long for a reason, as Jack explained what was going on. She nodded, "I see. I'm going to presume that she's a fellow squire then...." She chuckled, "You'll get to hear them..."
She nodded, that was good. Her group didn't tend to stray too far from the palace, so that meant that she'd at least have another person to talk to.

"Yes she is. A year younger then us, and probably sees more war then most Knights. She's really good about it though." Jack said. "Yah you're right, still, we're not going to hear the end of that bragging for ages!"
"So, what do the Queen's Riders do for fun?"

Damin let his eyes wander through the crowd. Annie was still talking to the blonde man, someother people had looked his way but paid him not much more. Which was good. It meant that no one would bother him much. No one noticed the stableboy. His gaw stiffened at the thought, but it was a good thing. He could easily make his plan come to reality. He then turned his head toward the other end of the table where he saw the same man earlier motioning at Annie, notably irratated. Just at that moment, he had an brillant idea that would further his plans to bring down the Royal family. He cleared his throat and walked over to the end of the table, near the man and his female companion. He sampled some of the food, knowing which tasted best. Afterall, he was the one who grew them.

Marian-Rise quietly entered the room in a cream colored, srtapless gown that flattered her skin tone beautifully. She didn't want to catch much attention, but her mother had insisted on it. Even had it specially made.
"One must always dress to please their royals and superiors." Her mother had said.
Lovely, Marian-Rose thought, Now I am going to catch unwanted attention. She had to admit, the dress was beautiful though.
She didn't know quite what to do. If she went to hang out with Annie and her gang she would probably be ignored, so that would be boring to her. So, instead, she made her way to the refreshment table to grab a drink and busy herself. She saw Edward and Rukan and nodded to them with a smile, and nearly bumped into a man she had never seen before, but otherwise she got her drink.

Damin turned and almost collided with an elligant young woman, who he must admit had never seen before. He apoligized for his carelessness. And discreatly examined her face a little more for certain he had not see her around the palace before. Even though he was bent on the downfall of the Royal family did not mean he was not a gentleman. He casually looked over to her hoping to catch her eye and bowed her upper torso to her before introducing himself. "Good evening, m'lady. I don't believe I've met you before." He started. "My name is Argathon." He extanded his hand for hers. "May I ask what be your name?" Damin wore a charming smile on his face, his bright blue eyes were soft with a darker piercing shade in the background.

Rukan shook her head with a small smile, allowing Edward get away with what he wanted, they'd have plenty of time to discuss this stuff later. And how dare he imply that he wasn't beautiful!! She'd glower about that one privately later! "Move me? I don't think he's ever tried to pick me up and move me...."
She crinkled her nose up as he poked it, playfully batting his hand away. She whined, "Don't Edward...!" She grinned, rubbing her nose lightly, it was her nose, not his. She chuckled, "They aren't that common, and yes. But usually you're in a group, so it's easier."
She laughed, "It's not that bad!! And there's tea. But juice isn't usually common, unless you intend to bring it with you?"
She chuckled shaking her head, were all of the other squires so busy trying to find a partner? She'd given up a long time ago trying to get the one she wanted, she couldn't understand how all of them could be so blindly persistant. She shook her head sadly, "Oh Edward. Things'll get better." She smiled, "Thanks. I'm glad to know that I have your confidence."
She went quiet, a bit unsure what to say, then she shook her head again slightly, "So when do you think you'll be heading to the border?"

She nodded, "I see." She laughed quietly. "Poor Jack! Can't stand a bit of bragging." She smiled, to show that she was, once again, teasing him.
She shook her head, "Let's see.... Some go to the City, shop, drink and basically party, others hang around the palace, go swimming, read, gossip, it all really depends on the person..."

((Sorry Ladies and Gentlemen!! My internet went kaplooee!!))
Marian-Rose was surprised to be spoken to by the man she had bumped into with such kind words. She took his hand and answered, not without blushing:
"Well met, Argathon." She made a curtsy. "I am Marian-Rose of Queenscove." She studied his face as she did so, matching his face to the name, so she would not forget who he was in the future. She had a gift with that.
((Sorry it's short!))

((OK... this is sad... with Rose I nearly said "He" all the time, now I am saying "She" all the time!!! Mass grumblage.))
Edward laughed at her joke. It was minorly entertaining! Edward would have to watch what he says next time.
"Why not? It's fun!" Edward amde a move to poke her in the nose again, and then feigned and moved his hand away before it could get slapped again. "And good with the Giants. I don't want to pull a Jack's Dad."
"Well, tea I can live with." Edwards mood lightened a bit. "I was just thinking flavorless water all the time." Edward made his 'Yuck!' face.
"You've always had my confidence. Just like I have yours, I think. I think the only thing you haven't told me is who you like, no matter how many times I told you I would go knock some sense into him for not noticing ((Oh, the IRONY Sirri!!))."
"Soon. Probably in a week or so." Edward shrugged. "Heck, we might be going when you go."
((I will post with Jack ina bit!! I got to go to class!))

((lol! I do that all the time!))
Rukan grinned, well they were away from that topic for the time being. On to safer more stable topics.
She scowled at him, trying to bat his hand away again, though this time he'd been expecting it and moved his hand before she could get it. She placed her hand on her nose, "Mine! Not yours!" She really hated people touching her nose, not that she'd told anyone knowing that it would cause most people to poke it more. She gave a small smile, "Oh we can let ya loose on one, see how you do!"
She chuckled, "It's water Edward! It's healthy for you. Who cares about the flavour, though I do agree that tea is much better!"
Rukan went a red, as he mentioned her not telling him who she liked. Cause that would go well! She shook her head, "I've told you Eddie ((<-- Teehee.... I don't know if I like it...)) it's alright." She paused, how to phrase this right... "But if I ever change my mind about this you'll definitely be the first to know." ((It is really ironic! *sighs unhappily*))
She nodded, a bit happier with the new information, glad that her blush was fading. She laughed, "Yeah... I think we're leaving in a week. Not much leisure time that's for sure!"
((It's ok! Artie isn't in a huge rush to post, I'm having too much fun with Ru!))

Edward grinned along with Rukan, and stayed grinning right through her complaining about her nose to the giants, in which he kind of feigned being scared.
"I know it's healthy, but the lack of flavour annoys me." Edward shrugged. "I like flavour."
"You are allowed to keep that secret you know!" Edward grinned. "For all I know, you could like an older man..." His eyebrows shot up. "That would be awkward. But I am glad you would tell me first." Edward smiled a kinder smile.
"Nope. My mom is going to fuss over me all week." Edward slit his eyes and shivered. "Bah... fussing."

She was now over her nose being touched, it didn't annoy her long, just enough to slightly dampen her spirits, which were easy to be raised again.
She nodded, "It annoys me as well, but it's better than having curdled milk! Which I must say is disgusting! You'll probably get served some. All the newbies are." She grinned, trying to picture what Edward's expression would be.
She winced, "Eww!!! I'm not interested in anyone over the age of twenty!!! That's just..." She shook her head. "Wrong!" She nodded, like that would ever happen!
She laughed, "One reason I'm glad my parents aren't at court!!"
((I'd add more but i g2g))
