Hi Turtlee!~

adding onto the conversation a couple of months ago i went to see the new fantastic beasts movie with my friend and while we were in line for popcorn some older guys were looking us down one of them walked over and asked me if i went to stetson, which is the college in the area. i just awkwardly said no and mentioned i was in high school and he backed off lmao

people are just so weird

good thing he backed off

Aaah I'm excited to RP today

Sorry I'm back! I got distracted! X'D

Welcome back Shadow XD

i’m exited cause this will give me something to read lmao

Lol Lilly xD

Haha Thanks turtlee! Hello!

Ooh neato Blood! It sounds pretty interesting.

I'm distracted too because I'm playing Exploding Kittens x'D

That's an odd game name, exploding kittens

Thank you!

Also hello everyone! :D

Hahaha I never heard of that game before but with a name like that it sounds awesome xD

Let's start! It's already 3!

It's very interesting XD

//Little ghost...?// Purity tilts her head with a confused look as Hiiro explains, "You mean Terra? ... Terra said something about Mina?" she asks, a cold feeling of dread settling in her stomach, "W-what did he say?"

(I'm kinda curious about that game, Fade X'D )

Eater manages a faint smirk when Crimson teases him about his room, but when Alex gives him a nervous smile and starts to speak, well he doesn't get to drink much more of his hot chocolate... His face slowly changes to a look of absolute horror, and he glances from Alex to Crimson before dashing to the corner of the room and setting his glass down, then the Nightmare jumps back, facing Crimson, looking like he's about ready to scream... Which he is doing internally... //Oh... Oh no... Oh NO! OH NO, SHE SAID THE THING!! RIGHT IN FRONT OF CRIMSON!! SHE'S NOT LYING BUT--BUT CRIMSON---AAHHH I'M GONNA DIE, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE BECAUSE SHE SAID THE THINGGGG!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!//

-

Crimson was staring intensely at his hot chocolate just waiting for the right temperature to strike so he could consumed his savory liquid beverage, that was until what Alexandrea said reached his ears...

The cup dropped from the red Prince hands, it clank and spilt the hot chocolate on the floor.... What the Phoenix shapeshifter said felt like daggers digging into the dragon Prince deep, some of the symbols glowed red on the wall that he had carved, the room grew unnaturally dark matching how Crimson was feeling... His bracelets glow trying to put the boys corruption in submission but they had already done a lot of work this day and haven't much time to rest, they we're only prototypes and one was even damaged but they still tried, they were probably one of the only thing keeping the red Prince from trying to kill Alex because the cell bars would only slow him down...

Crimson rage boiled off him, he put his hands beside him on the bed and dug his fingers in it, he was beyond mad, his head was face down and shrouded with Shadows "...get. out. of. my. site!" he growled darkly, Crimson was trying to hold back but so much of him despised Malice

-

Alexandrea sighed, "I told you this Crimson, because I don't want to lie to you" she shakes her head. "But I won't let you kill Malice, I'll defend him with my life" she then runs up the stairs. "Thank you for telling me what you know!" She yelled back, sounding sincere as she reached the top and took off.

 
-

Crimsons dug his fingers into the bed besides him, he bared his teeth with disgust and rage with everything that the Phoenix shapeshifter said but he was trying to control himself, deep down he didn't want to kill anyone else even though at the moment his hate wanted Alex dead.... the red Prince gripped his head as he let out his rage in mixed screamed like Roar. The light in the room flickered with Crimson outburst
the red Prince felt used, trick and he hated that feeling, Crimson lean forward with a blank look, tears streamed down the boys face "...this is why we don't trust people..." He covered his face with both hands as he sob

When Terra's smile turned half-hearted, Fiona's smile also faded a little. She quietly listened as he explained what his room was like, already knowing most of it, but wanting to listen, anyways. (And she didn't question the fact that he'd actually /liked/ his door.)
When he stated that he had been a troubled teen, the Elemental just gave him a gentle look of understanding. "...Yeah, I could see that." She said quietly, reaching out to him like she was trying to hold his free hand as he rubbed his arm. After that, she went along with his subject change, not wanting to press him further.

"Aeras is great! You've already met my uncle Boreas... He's pretty cool, so long as you don't get on his bad side. Then there's my mom and dad... And my seven siblings!
I think they'd all like you!

...Well... I dunno how my mom would feel... That could take some time...

But I'm sure the rest would love to meet you!"

"Yes, Terra" Hiiro growls, his hands balled into tight fists. "He made remarks about how I couldn't save Mina, she hadn't even gone cold yet" his voice tightens as he barely holds himself together.

(Hellooooo! Sorry I'm late! ':D)

[ You recognize my dashing good looks wasn't it? No other book in this library is as dashing me? I'm even in leather with fancy embroidery~] Arthur playfully teased [ got to have a fancy cover~ cuz you know for a book that what you judge first... no seriously, it is , that's the whole reason for the cover is, it's supposed to tell you about what /inside/ the book....well it's really the back of the book is were the summary is but same thing, your a smart girl, you know what I'm talking about ]

( Hi Fluffy!)

(Hi Fluffy!~ Good to see you! :D )

Alexandrea heard Crimson's roar/scream and stopped a moment, //Should I go back down?// she sort of jogged in place, //Aah! I left Eater with him// she puts her hands on top of her head and bites her bottom lip.

"Aaah!" Alex takes off down the hall, to leave the palace, "I'll just end up making it worse if I go back down" she tells herself as she runs. "He'll be okay, I'll bring some chocolate later when he's calm downed" she makes a mental note to buy some.

Catch chuckled and shrugged " I don't know, I did get a little turned around the last time..." The Dreamer Prince finally had a chance to take in the sites as well, this was a Vaseterm Palace, it was part of what he was // could I ever get use to living in something so big? // He wasn't sure, he glanced over at his wife wondering if this was something she was expecting now she was a princess, he didn't know, if a grand Palace was something she desired or just a simple home but he also knew a place for them to call home wouldn't come until after Soledormir is defeated

Catch we're at the back of his head making a goofy face" I think the biggest problem with something this big is finding other people "

-

Eira groaned. "Yeah... This makes our group split ups even more severe," she said sarcastically.

Rahab huffed as he came back over to the couple. "For a palace this big, I'm surprised we haven't run into anyone yet. There must be hundreds of Vaseterms housed in here."

-
Just about that time Rehab made his comment Osiris can walking bye, he was on his way to see Victoria but he stopped seeing the young Prince and his wife " hello master Catcher " he greeted with a polite bow, then looked to the princess " greetings lady Eira" he then bow to her.

Catch blushed feeling embarrassed and rubbed the back of his head being called master, he still didn't feel like a prince and it was odd to him been called one.

The Phoenix shapeshifter then notice their new guests " oh? We have another new guest?" He questioned

(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH)

(AAAAAAAAAAAAAH?)

(IM BACK NOW)

(wELCOME BACK!)

(WELCOME BACK!)

(I DREW CACOPHANY)

(SHE LOOKS AWESOME!!)

(THANK YOU
AND THANK YOU)

(i’m boredddd)

( SHE LOOKS AWESOME!)

With everything happening as Crimson's temper was going wild, the markings on the wall glowing, the room getting darker, the lights flickering as he roared, Eater's survival instincts were also going crazy. The Nightmare stood backed up against the wall the whole time, staring at the prince with wide glowing eyes and the most terrified look on his face, until Crimson broke down and started sobbing... Similar to when Crimson blew up before, it takes Eater several minutes to pull himself away from the wall, and even then, he inches his way over to the prison bars and clings to them... For a split second, he considers just leaving too, but part of him knows that he can't do that, he can't leave the prince alone in this state, so he decides to stick around, and do... something. He's not sure yet...

Dreameater slowly crouches to the ground by the bars, still being so scared he feels like he needs to crawl toward the prince, he inches a little closer, then stands up, then almost gets back on the floor, staying in a cautious half-crouch half-stand... "H-hey... Crimson...?" the Nightmare very, very quietly asks, finally getting an idea when he notices the smashed glass on the floor, "You... You want my hot chocolate...?"

(SO MUCH CAPSLOCK!!)

(YEAAAAAAH!)

Rahab and Eira both looked over at Osiris in curiosity when he appeared. Eira flushed slightly at being called "lady," and she dipped her head quietly. "Ah--Thank you..."

Rahab frowned at the couple. //Huh, so he really is... Hard to believe that miracle.// The shifter turned to Osiris again and studied his appearance. "You're... a Vaseterm?" he asked suspectfully.

Crystal shook her head at the first thing the voice replied with, slowing but surely coming out of her jumbled state a bit, "Sorry, but no, I can't say that was it. It was honestly just the symbol that got my attention. I will admit though, the cover /is/ pretty fancy." She said, continuing to listen as the voice went on. Eventually the corner of her mouth twitched upward just a little and she ever so slightly laughed, "And how would you know if I'm smart? We only just met, mister... talking book," she said.

(how tall is Calum in his human form?)

( I love Rehab xD )

(Uhhh not sure xD We'll go with 5'5", if that's possible for a Beta)

(And thanks xD)

Crimsons continue to cry in his hands until the young Nightmare spoke up, he was still very much angry but the prince raise his head a little, his eye full of tears, despite his anger chocolate did sound good, nothing like having comfort food right? And at that moment he didn't comprehend it belongs to Eater... " I-I would like that..." Crim said between sobs

(haha that so funny how she taller then him, the poor guy )

(Ah actually girls can only get up to 5 feet while the guys can get up to 6 feet, so she's several inches shorter than him
Her ego's a lot taller than his though lol)

(I think what Crimson needs most is some water to re-hydrate after all the crying he's been doing this day)

(Ahhhh I was hoping to get another post in but I gotta go, I'll be back in an hour-ish!)

(See you Lilly!)

(Ok Lilly!)

Osiris had a surprised look at Rehab question " oh, no, no I am not a Vaseterm, I am a Paradise Phoenix, my name is Osiris...

I serve the Silver Spears clan, lady Is the head of the Vaseterm here as the young master Blue is the head of the burning Suns clan that is also residence here " the Phoenix shapeshifter explained, then gave a puzzled look to Rehab " I do not remember you company meaning the key Hunters when they arrived? I'm assuming you are a unexpected guest like the good Boreas?" He asked curiously

Catch move a little closer to his wife" it feels weird being called that " he whispered giving her a goofy look

( lol that what I meant x'D, I seen she only 4,11 compared to him been 5,5 xD )

(yeah, Crim just need a lot of things, water would be good, he is know for crying or at least his tears, when the boy finally get a chance he probably sleep like a rock from being so exhausted )

(Oh okay xD I must've misread your comment)

( hahaha I'm already loving the interaction between Arthur and Crystals xD )

(Lol most likely, poor kid)

( it came out posted wrong xD I was pretty sure I made it so I said he was taller but it got flip-flopped x'D)

(Oh whoops XD Okay lol)

[ ah, yes the Land of Dreams Crest and the symbol of the United kings, very impressive markings indeed, expecially seen I know of these king and queen, there one in particular who I might say is very impressive ] Arthur reply to the first part of the human girl comment [ haha! I have a good intuition, knowing these things just come naturally to me, like a gut feeling... Hmmm, I'm a book so it be more like a feeling inside my pages... *Clearing his throat* as it maybe I just happen to know a lot of things, mostly about the past, it's a bit hard to keep up with the latest news, but heck I'm sure not much has changed in the past 17 thousand years, people complaining about other people, what the best way of traveling, Soledormir threatening to destroy everything, sounds about right?]

(If Calum was the same rank as Cacophany, he would be on average taller

Beta's in their humanoid forms are uhhh, 3'5 - 4'5 in height

I really need to put this info out properly, for ranks)

Rahab pursed his lips and looked off for a moment, a sarcastic look on his face. //I come all this way to see the Vaseterms and I meet a phoenix instead...// He cleared his throat. "Ah, no, I just arrived. I am Eira's brother," he explained to Osiris. "Perhaps you know where uh, a Vaseterm is... any Vaseterm," he couldn't help but ask. //I need to see them with my own eyes or I'm gonna blow,// he thought.

Eira paid attention to the interaction, then huffed faintly in amusement when Catch came nearer. "I know... Well, better get used to it. You aren't losing your title anytime soon," she remarked with a smirk.

(Ah okay, good to know Blood!
So Shadow, he's shorter than her after all X'DD)

(Oh then what would the height range be for female Alphas?)

(Female Alpha would be 5'2 - 5'6
Male Alpha would be 5'5 - 6'2)

(K, good to know)

(If you want Calum to be taller, he could be, I don't mind~)

(Those are just averages

Calum could be taller and Cacophany could be smaller, reversed of their true forms haha)

(Ooh really? I'm not sure how tall I want him to be, but I am thinking he needs at least a little something to be proud about, or he'd just deflate x'D Thanks!)

( lol x'D my predictive text was right )

(Lol that would be interesting, I might do that)

(Pfft good prediction, predictive text)

(Oh and let me know if there's anything else I need to change in her bio, or design for future reference)

Alexandrea reached the outside and shifted, this time, willingly to her griffin form. "Okay you" She talks to herself, "You won't best me!" she takes a running-hop start and leaves the barrier.

She made it a few blocks, doing what she was calling 'flying', though she looked like a flailing dark kitten with wings. No grace at all present in her form.

And it showed as she crashed into the side of a building and slowly slid down to the ground, "Oww..owww.owww" Alex whines as her rump touches the pavement. She sighs and falls back onto her back. "I'll get it eventually, in this stupid form, with four stupid legs and wings on your back"

She growls and hisses as she lays there, her tail flicking as she held it above her head, "Can't walk on two legs in this form, what is the point? What good do four stupid legs do?" Alex rants to herself, "I'm as clumsy as a kitten!" she paws her face and wipes off the symbol she'd used to hide her aura.

She could feel the sting on her back as her wounds had opened up again. But she was still too busy being moody, "Come and find me you big ball of grump" Alex growls, continuing to lay there.

(Poor thing's still too cute and fuzzy)

In hearing this Osiris made a small bow " forgive my rudeness, I did not realize you are kin to lady Eira"
After saying this the Phoenix shapeshifter stood up straight " I would be more than happy to assist you good sir, I was on my way to speak to the Queen " he gestured to a hallway " right this way" then proceeded to go in that direction.

Catch bit his lip making a face " yeah I know, it's still going to take some time getting used to this " the red hair Dreamer reply, he was also trying to pay attention to the other conversation as well // that my ancestor Victoria, he talking about...I was hoping to get a chance to talk to her again but I need to talk with Eira about something.. // Catch look to his wife " do you want to go with them? " He asked

Rahab raised his brows at Osiris's apology, and he straightened up a little bit as if suddenly taking on the role of royalty. But when the Phoenix mentioned the queen, his jaw dropped. "The--The Queen?" //Meet the queen... The actual queen and legend of every Vaseterm book I've read...// He gaped after Osiris a moment before snapping his mouth shut and briskly walking after him.

Eira shrugged. "I could get used to it," she hummed with a slight smirk. She tipped her head in consideration. "I'm a little concerned about him, but he should be fine so long as Osiris is around. We'll be fine," she answered, smiling up at Catch.

(Going to the theatres! I'll be back in about 2 hours!)

(Have fun!)

Ever since the Nightmare king got his feeling back in his body, Mal had been fretting about the Phoenix shapeshifter. He had shift to his true form so he could focus his since more in hope to find Alexandrea

Malice pace back and forth anxiously on a roof top //She was there one moment then gone... I don't understand why did she leave? I told her not to go and yet she disobeyed me// the Nightmare king stopped when he finally felt what he was searching for, his ears up as he looked in the direction of Alexandrea aura. //She alive // he thought relieved but still upset that she didn't listen

Malice shifted to his grinffin form and headed in Alex way, as he got closer the sound of sirens reached his ears, the Nightmare king growled internally // now what has that woman done?!//
The king Griffin landed next to Alexandrea, he did not look happy " what the hell happened to you?! you know how long I been looking for you? You just vanished without a Trace! " He snapped, he was worried she might have died somewhere.

The people that stuck around after Alex crashed or either taking photos with their phones or talking on them, gawking at the two Griffins, a sound of sirens were getting louder

( ok! Have fun Fade :D )

(See you Fade! Have fun!)

Alexandrea watched as Malice landed next to her, rolling her eyes as he snapped at her. "Oh please, you know where I went and I got some more answers, don't worry" she rolled up and sat up, the feathers on her back were matted with her own blood.

"I just used a simple seal to block my aura, that's all~" Alex hums and then tips her head at the sound of sirens, "Humans sure have noisy machines"

Crystal listened, a curious expression on her face, "I didn't know a book could have intuition," she then paused, glancing around at the shelves upon shelves of writings, "well, I didn't even know talking books existed until now.." She went silent and continued to listen to the voice. After a moment, Crystal tilted her head, "You've been around for seventeen thousands years..? That's such a long time.. Um, I suppose that's all still accurate, I mean, I know that last part is at least."

Eater nods his head at the Prince, then starts moving back over to his glass of hot chocolate he set on the floor earlier... The Nightmare carefully picks it up and starts inching his way back to Crimson, when he's not even half-way across the room, he crouches down again and tries pushing the glass closer to the red prince, then he actually lays flat on his stomach and pushes the glass as far as his arm will reach, and when that still isn't close enough, he summons his sword and gently pushes it over to Crimson... Still lying flat on the ground with his sword and hand stretched out, Eater asks in a mumble, "Can you reach it...? Is that close enough...?"

(Welcome back Lilly!)

(Well, I mean his sword and arm

I'm back XP )

"indeed, lady Victoria " Osiris replied as he continued on his way down the hallway " I will warn you though, the Queen was quite distraught earlier do to...uh a sensitive topic... However she has claimed down since then "

Catch smirked back at Eira " yeah, your right, I'm sure Rehab will be fine *he chuckled* he looks more like a kid in a candy store right now" he teased

The red hair Dreamer waited until Osiris and Rahab we're out of sight before pulling his wife close and smiled at her "a princess fits you" he was glad that they could have some time alone for a moment

( welcome back Lilly!)

The crest on Malice head was raised with his frustration, " stubborn bird" he hiss, he could smell the Blood on Alexandrea and started to investigate, he didn't have to look to hard to find the source and he flipped out " DON'T WORRY?! DON'T WORRY?! WHAT THE HECK IS THIS THEN?! " he pointed at her Blood back " that devil did this didn't he?! "
Malice ignored her tease, he was mad really mad, and then the sirens got louder with police cars, the Nightmare king look over his shoulder at then, he was so frustrated he wasn't sure if you wanted to kill them or just leave... looking back at Alex, " you dumb fool" he sneered and pick her up in his paws, with a beat of his wings the king Griffin took to the sky to find some place private to talk

Purity's fears confirmed, she goes quiet as she thinks of possible ways to defuse the tension. //Oh, Terra, you really got yourself in a boiling pot this time...// the Dreamer thinks, shaking her head, "What a horrible thing to say..." she pauses, "... But... Ugh, he's a mess... I don't know what happened to make him say that, but knowing Terra, he was using something he knew would hurt himself to try and get back at you..." Purity pauses before carefully placing her hand on Hiiro's arm, giving him a pleading look, "I know what he said stung, there's no denying that, but if I had to guess, he was probably an absolute mess after you left... If you want to break him, all you have to do is just look him in the eyes, he's not ever going to forget what he said, and that will hurt him far more than... breaking every bone in his body. ... Could you... go easy on him, for my sake...? Please?"

(Thanks guys!~)

Alexandrea didn't have much time to give him a proper response, before she was hoisted off the ground and into the air. She hung her head and let out a groan. Deciding to wait until he found a private place to talk, she didn't feel like yelling against the wind.

Hiiro listened as Purity spoke and stopped walking when she placed a hand on his arm. His red eyes boring into her, he wanted nothing more than to break Terra, make him pay. He leaned his head close to the Dreamer, baring his fangs with each word, "Fine. I'll take it easy on him, but he is still going to pay with a few broken bones" He hisses, "He'll find out what's coming for him after tonight" he then pulls his arm away from her and keeps walking to the palace.

[ Haha, well in a world of fantasy you never knew what you're going to come across, I remember this one time I was just setting on a rock enjoying the weather, when a beetle starting to talk to me, I was not expecting that at all, frogs maybe but a beetle? That was a new one for me ] Arthur told his little tail [ that I have, or at least a book that long, I actually closer to 22,000 years, let just say playing with Magic can do some weird stuff, boy do I have story on that! ] he said with a tripper tone, then pause for a moment , Arthur let out a frustrated sigh [ ugh, I wish we could have ended it back then so you kids didn't have to clean up the mess, even though Soledormir has been in prison, he still has managed to wreak havoc across the realms ]

Crimsons just watched Eater dramatic display, he knew Nightmare did fear him if they knew who he really was, but watching one act this way and not just take off, surprised the boy, " ...you can get off the floor " he mumbled reaching down to pick up the hot chocolate, Crimson held it with both hands and just stared into the dark colored liquid "I'm not going to kill you Eater... Your not the one... "

Malice fly high out of sight of the people below, he used his sense to find a secluded area, it took him a while but the king Griffin finally landed outside the city limits in a wooded area.

Despite his frustration he set down Alex gently, his crest was still up showing he wasn't happy at her

Alexandrea let out a breath when he finally landed and set her down, she felt relieved to be in the woods and out of the city.

She hesitated a few seconds and then reluctantly looked back, up at the King Griffin. "You can't stay mad at me all day, I did it because we needed answers" she sighs, she couldn't lie to him. "Yes, Crimson gave me these wounds, but it wasn't his fault, he has a crazy lady in his head and Void too"

"They're both manipulating the poor boy, but we figured out garlic helps!" Alex waves her tail around, "I gotta buy chocolate and make it up to Crimson later....I kinda told him we're a thing and he lost it. I don't blame him."

When the conversation gets back to Fiona and her family, Terradream smiles faintly again, especially when Fiona tries to hold his hand... "You have s-seven siblings?" he asks, then nods his head, //I assume they must be nice, judging from the way she's talking about them... A-aside from her mother, that is, but... Mothers are good at adjusting, usually, hopefully I could warm up to her after a while... I... I should work towards trying to be better than I am now, so I leave a good first impression...//

(I'm so sorry I took so long, Fluffy, my mind's trying to bounce between so many things at once ':s )

(It's fine! I don't mind. I know you've got a lot of stuff you're working on. xP)

(Back!)

(Welcome back Fade!)

( welcome back! :D)

Eater quickly scrambles up off the floor when Crimson tells him he can, and while admittedly, part of him feels like an idiot for doing that in the first place, right now he doesn't care, because he's still scared... "R-right, yeah, I know..." the Nightmare mumbles, leaving his sword on the floor as he slowly, verrryy slowly inches his way over to the bed too, cautiously placing his hand on the bed as if to make sure he's allowed to do so before he sits on the end farthest from Crimson, "But it's like I said earlier, when you freak out, it makes my instincts go crazy, I can't help it..." Dreameater explains, then rests his elbows on his knees, breathing out a deep sigh as he tries to calm himself down as well.

(Welcome back, Fade!)

As the voice continued to speak, Crystal started to feel like something wasn't quite adding up anymore, expecially after what was mentioned lastly. She was quiet for a long minute, staring off at nothing in particular and taking a moment to think about what was said before looking back down at the open book in her lap, "You wish you could have ended it so we don't have to clean up the mess.." she repeated to herself in a mumble then said, "I have the feeling I'm not exactly talking to just a book here.. Books can't really sit and enjoy the weather or make messes."

Rahab walked beside Osiris once he caught up, slightly bugged that the Phoenix was taller than him. He raised a brow in curiosity. "I see. I won't disturb her if she won't have an audience," he replied, even though he didn't want to risk missing the chance to meet the Queen of the Vaseterms.

Eira rolled her eyes. "Honestly. Let's see how long it takes till he starts getting in trouble." She leaned against Catch when he pulled her close and she wrapped an arm snugly around his waist. She hummed in interest and glanced up at him. "Mmm, really? I can't see myself walking around in any puffy dresses. There'd better be an exception for me in your kingdom," she answered teasingly.

(Thanks guys!)

"Yeah! There's Lusio, Ray, Amira, Cecilia, Wynter, Sera, and Dusty!" Fiona counted on her free hand as she listed off names, then took a breath like she was going to continue... However, she suddenly paused when her gaze landed on a little hill with a tree. "Ooh, that looks like a good spot!" The Elemental interrupted herself, glancing to Terra, "What do you think?" She asked, then proceeded to wander over to the area and start inspecting it... Veeerrrry closely...
...There definitely wasn't anything suspicious about the grass, but if there were, she would find it. She was determined to make extra sure that it was a good spot.

" I can stay mad at you for as long as I like, I am the Nightmare king and will do as I please" Malice growled puffing up his chest, he looked over at Alexandrea with narrowed eyes" that information cost you, was it worth it?"he challenged.
He looks away in thought "Void is involved?... that would explain why Zitan descendant is still alive...
Who knows what Abominations he did to that thing then to make it the way it is " Mal knew Void like to experiment on creatures, he had collected some of the victims by Void orders before and seen the aftermath of his Abominations...and those were only the ones the forsaken Lord of Will let him see,who knows what Void was keeping secret...

" I don't want you to go see that thing ever again"
The king Griffin said forcefully, he walk over to Alex, he was upset with her but not enough to leave her wounds untreated, he looked at her back more closely and place his paw on her " I should have wiped out the entire Kingdom instead of cursing it, then nothing would have escaped and this would never been a problem " he said bitterly as he began to use his healing Magic on the little Griffin

(Wait Malice has healing magic?)

"Of course it was worth it" Alexandrea purrs, "Anything to get us one step closer to freeing you, I don't care if it costs me an arm, a leg or another life"

Alex sighs as he placed his paw on her, "No you shouldn't have" she looks up at him, "Mal, you should learn to get along with others. Let go of the past, let go of revenge"

She moves from his paw and circles around him brushing up against him and purring, "You need to try, at least a little bit, to let go of things. I know you're the Forsaken Lord of Revenge, doesn't mean you have to live up to your title"

( yeah, he used it wayyyyyy you back on Mina and if I remember correctly he used it once on Eira, Mal don't use it much because he rather let someone dead then help them,
As a shadowhunter those he was know for using healing Magic )

( he used it in Cielo the most in the RP )

(That surprises me, coming from a Nightmare. XD I don't know why I can't remember that. Neato)

Crim stay quiet as Eater slowly move over to take a set, the boy just look at his hot chocolate and took his thumb around the rim, he was still angry be he felt ashamed at his outraged " I know...I just snapped... I had this feeling she was only here because she wanted something but I thought maybe that was because Scarlet was telling me that... I know she took me out of my cell but it was my fault for shifting...I knew better but I hear them again and then everything just went downhill again..." Taking a breath to calm his nerves " I'm just glad I didn't kill anyone else... Scarlet really wanted me to...I just...I just thought after what happened Alex wants really trying to just use me like everyone else...but I was wrong, I was so wrong..." Crimsons rambled quietly, going over what happened in his head again

( it's not something they all can do, but its a Nightmare version of healing that his frame could do as a Dreamer )

(Ah okay, coolio)

[ a book can to enjoy the weather if it's left outside...but your right, I'm not exactly a book, I knew you were a sharp one, let me properly introduce myself I am king Arthur, not of the round table but the other king Arthur, the one who as quick with a blade and faster with is with his wits... You might also remember me as a key you pick up in Howaito, the Temple could only be seen at a certain time of the day, it was supposed to be really awesome test to prepare the key hunters for knowing what true and what wasn't BUT it got a little pest problem or more big pest problem, that big creepy spider was not one of my trials, I have no idea where that thing came from but it definitely wasn't one of mine, but Hey~ you still did good! Took care of that nasty pest problem, great job kiddo!] Arthur came clean and then praise the human girl [ I would be given you a thumbs up if I still had thumbs, just use your imagination ]

Purity would be lying if she said she wasn't afraid of Hiiro as he glared at her so intensely, she bites her lip and pulls her hand close to her chest after he pulls away and keeps walking. //Oh moons, Terra, I know he must've really gotten under your skin to make you mad, but I don't think you realized just how mad you made /him/...// she thinks, deciding she will have to have a talk with her brother later about this, and quietly follows Hiiro back to the palace.

Once they're there and nearing the kitchen, Purity finally speaks up again, still keeping rather quiet though, "I... wasn't here when everything happened, so I don't know where in the kitchen to look for her Key..."

But unbeknownst to them, there is only one thing left of Mina's in the kitchen... and it isn't Gorgeon's Key...

(I love Arthur XD )

(Same here. He's awesome. X'D)

(gasp)

"Yeah, I know, I'm glad you didn't kill anyone either..." Eater agrees, getting quiet for a moment as he thinks about all of what happened, "I... don't think you were wrong about Alex, I think she cares about you... I mean, I don't know her very well, or even much about her, other than she heals people, has a Key, sucks on Malice's face, and almost got me killed trying to protect him one time, but she talked to me this morning when I was sick and she seemed really nice. She's nice, but... weird... She asked me if Nightmares poo..." Eater rambles honestly, making a somewhat confused/disgusted face at the last thing he mentions before trying to defend the phoenix, "But, I think if she really was trying to use you, she wouldn't have told you that she likes doing the face-sucking with Malice, or she would've left when you were struggling with all the voices in you head... She went out of her way to help you. I think she cares."

Hiiro walked into the kitchen, to the spot Mina died, he used his finger to draw an invisible line. "That's the path she took coming in here" he starts searching under chairs...and then in the fridge...and then he starts searching food containers in the fridge...

Osiris continued to walk, he didn't even notice Rehab irritation of his height difference, the Phoenix shapeshifter usually powered over everyone as far as human form go...his true form not so much " I will see if the Queen will speak with you" he said coming to a fancy door, he turn to the Griffin shapeshifter "please wait right here for a moment"

Osiris knocked on the door before going inside, after a moment he returned " the queen will speak with you" he said then open the door all the way.

Inside look to be a large fancy office, there was big desk at the back with stacks of paperwork and behind it all was Victoria...

Osiris gestured to one of the comfy chairs in front of the desk " you can have a set if you like " he offered

" You must be Rahab?" Victoria ask looking up from her paperwork, her amethyst eyes look like they had been crying not to long ago.

-

Catch chuckles " that is true, so far they have been able to handle our group so I think they can handle anything your brother can do " he teased, the red hair Dreamer held his wife in his arms and smirked " what? I think you would look fabulous in one of those puffy dresses specially a pink tutu with unicorn patterns on it~" he teased playfully, getting on a more serious note, Catch place his forehead to Eiras " you know I would do anything for you if it's in my power, you were my princess long before I became a prince"

( Fade do you remember that quote?)

(Yes I do eue)

Malice raised his head, if he could curl up in this form he would, Revenge was written in his contract, it was a part of him that he could not simply let go of " you were not there, you didn't see and hold the mangled body of Serenity, you do not know the pain of losing some you..." Malice stopped before saying love...his chest hurt with the memories of the Dreamer princess but they we're not his...they belong to Faolan

The Nightmare king turned away from Griffin, he set down and place a paw on his chest that was hurting "... Alex... everything I am is a lie, the memories I have are stolen and so is this heart...the only thing I really am is Revenge, it was what I was made for " he said quietly

Rahab stopped outside and waited on Osiris, then gave a nod and walked inside, holding himself upright and broadening his shoulders to look respectable. //I've waited ages for a moment this big. Here goes nothing.//
When he stepped into the office and his gaze found the Queen in her chair, his lungs deflated. //....Wow.// The griffin shifter stared wordlessly at Victoria for a good moment, senses melted from amazement at how flashy and beautiful the Vaseterm was, even hidden behind those stacks of paper. "Uhh..."
In a blink, Rahab caught up with reality and he quickly dropped into a bow. "It is my greatest honor to be in your presence, your Majesty. I never conceived I should meet you in person."

---

Eira smirked up at Catch and snorted. "Then we'll have a few complications." Her smile turned gentle when he touched his forehead to hers, a motion that sent a magical warmth bubbling through her. She wrapped her arms around his middle and her eyelids fluttered shut, quietly enjoying the moment. When she opened her eyes again, she murmured, "Even if that means wearing the unicorn tutu yourself?"

Alexandrea stopped, "I don't know the pain of losing a loved one?" she sits down away from him, but facing him. "You're right, I've never lost someone I loved, I just lost everything and have always been alone..thousands of years" she shakes her head.

"Maybe that's what you were made for" Alex raises a paw and points a talon at him, "Have you ever thought of being more? Maybe you can't as long as you're Soledormir's slave, but I know your love isn't a lie" she says, "Mal, you are building your own memories right now, you are becoming your own being"

She stands up and faces away from him, looking over her shoulder to glance at him, "And you need to think about the future. Who do you want to be and what do you want? Do you want to be a slave who falls with his master? Or something more? I can't decide that for you, that's in your hands"

"Follow me if you want to be something more, to figure out what that might be" Alex starts to walk away, "Or sit there and waste away, let shadows and misery consume you, Revenge" she then vanishes from his sight.

(Malice is now Dallas according to me cell...)

(yee haw)

(Lol)

Crimsons listen quietly, he thought deeply on what Eater said, he glared at his hot chocolate each time Malice name got brought up, he hated the Nightmare king for everything but the young Nightmare had a point "... Crystals told me I need to let go of my hate...it just hard, it's all I know for so long...but I'm taking it out on everyone else..." He sighed and took a drink of the hot chocolate that was just right in temperature.

He made a face thinking about Alex question to Eater about poo" ... She seems really weird..." He mumbled After he signed " maybe she was trying to help me? I don't know anymore...everything so messed up some times..." he talking another sip of his hot chocolate

As Arthur spoke of who he really was, Crystal couldn't help but to feel a bit embarrassed that she had truly thought it was a book talking to her, but then after what the king said, it quickly dawned on her that her Key was technically talking to her, and that didn't make any more sense. She just told herself that this is probably supposed to be normal. "Oh..." she started, trying to think of what to say, "uh.. well, I'm glad to hear the spider wasn't your idea," she gave a nervous laugh, resisting the need to shiver as she thought back to the monstrous creature. As Arthur told her she did good, Crystal smiled just a little, "Thank you," she responded, "of course, had it not have been for the help I had, I have a feeling we might not have made it to the temple in time."

( Noooooo my cell keep wanting to change Vaseterm to bathroom again Dx)

(Well that's awkward x'D)

(yep Victoria is trying to introduce herself as Queen of the bathroom people...)

Terra listens as Fiona lists off her siblings' names and gives her a somewhat goofy, apologetic smile when she interrupts herself, and he floats over to the little hill with her. "... Y-yeah, this is a nice little spot, we can, uh... sit down... or lay down, w-whichever you prefer..." he says, floating over to the tree and trying to sit next to it, "U-uh... You might have to remind me what your siblings' names are... i-if I ever get to meet them, th-that is..."

(Hahahaha)

(HAHA

I'm sorry, reading that almost made me laugh out loud Shadow X''DD )

(Oh my goodness. X'D)

(X'DDD)

(It made me laugh)

Victoria chuckled at Rehab display, it had been a while since someone reacted to her quite like that, she was a Queen but here with her clan they were all family " you may rise Rahab, it's easier to see your face that way " Victoria move some of her paperwork so that way they could see each other better, she gave a polite nod as she introduced herself " I am Queen Victoria of the Vaseterm people and head of the silver Spears clan"
Victoria place her hands in her lap and tipped her head with an amused smile
"you were probably expecting me to sit in the throne room? Then at a desk surrounded by paperwork?"
-

Catch just wanted to enjoy Eira presents, holding her in his arms and sharing his feeling to her, but he couldn't have a laugh to escape with the last thing she said, Catch move his head away so he could look his wife in her eyes " oh me with the pink tutu? *He chuckled* nah, I was thinking I would wear the tux with the bird head dress, that way we both can look ridiculous together " he teased with a playful smirk

Dreameater nods his head in reply to Crimson's comments on Crystal's advice, "She's right, you do need to let go of your hate, it's only going to hurt everyone around you and yourself... I know you're not gonna just drop it immediately though, it's obviously going to be hard, just try focusing on life's fluffier things, there's more to life than just killing things and being angry," he suggests, then stops and thinks for a moment, glancing up at the writing on the wall, where Crimson wrote Crystal's name in the dark language... "... Hmm... Are you and Crystal friends?" Dreameater asks, raising a suspicious eyebrow at the prince, "Or do you have the fluffy feelings for her...?"

Malice didn't know what that future was...he only knew of serving Soledormir or the one we're he dies, but his mother did tell him Judas had seen something... A different future but it was hard for the Nightmare king to comprehend, he was a light Eater who was made with a set written code to follow but now with a heart things were clashing against one another, compared to how he used to be, he was really malfunctioning

Malice turned to say something but Alexandrea was gone, he sat there for a moment just thinking, // what future do I want?...// This was something he didn't know other than for two things // I want to live and be with Alex...//
Malice got up and started to walk in the Direction Alex went

Alexandrea had found a stream and laid down by it, staring into the water and thinking. //I've been alive so long...yet lost no one? Why does that not feel right?// she lays her head down and sighs. Closing her eyes and drifting off, she'd already spent so much energy today already.

Rahab straightened again, his face warming up. "Of course, Milady." After her introduction, he cleared his throat. "It is a privilege to meet you. I am Rahab Whiteheart, a Shadow Hunter and Eira's sister. Brother," he corrected, face growing hotter.
He moved to take a seat as Victoria asked her question. "You might say, although it does not change my perception of you at all," Rahab reassured. "I must admit, though, that I am awestruck by you. I've never seen a creature so extreme and divine," he said.

Eira tipped her head back and laughed at Catch's response. "You're kidding... I don't know what royal subjects would respect us if we dressed that way." She paused, then added, "At the same time, I want to see you in that. I'd never forget."

Fiona stopped her inspection and beamed when Terra confirmed that it was a good spot.
"Either way sounds good to me! I'm gonna start like this, though..." She let herself flop over into the grass, face-first.
...Though, after a moment, she rolled over, made a rather odd expression, and started sputtering, spitting out a blade of grass. "Bleh... Eugh... That wasn't supposed to happen..." She mumbled, wiping her mouth with her wrist.

She looked awfully embarrassed about that, but she tried to pretend nothing had just happened as she glanced at Terra, noticing that he was sitting. The Elemental scooted over beside him and sort of... Half sat up, her back against the tree. "Hey, you'll get to meet them, I'm sure! I think you'll like them, too! They're a nice bunch once you get to know them...

...Feels like it's been forever since I've seen them... I wonder how they're all doing..."
She paused, seeming to get lost in thought about that for a moment, but eventually, she looked back at her ghost boyfriend, "...So, what about your family? Do you think I could meet them?"

(Ahh as much as I want to keep going, I really need to get to bed, since I have to be up suuuuper earrrllyyy ugh)

(Ah, that sucks)

(It does)

(But I'll see you guys next time, hopefully I'll be able to stay up later then! Byyeee!)

(Aww, alright. I really hope everything goes well for you tomorrow!)

[ most likely not, that thing would have liked have took you and killed most everything else, it was clear after you and me] Arthur admitted about her needing help [ but it didn't, you had a small team working together to achieve a common goal, yeah! Teamwork!...I would have dramatically throw my hands up in the air but...key can't really do that]
[The thing is, you work together, trust me having allies you can trust and rely on is crucial in battle and time of war, if some of those allies are friends then you got someone even better to watch your back, ahhh, remember me of the go old days with my fellows kings and queens, good time, haha I remember this one time Gorgeon was talking to Emilia and well she was distracted I got into this little place she hid her sweet at, haha she called it a hiding place but not from this man, nope!...and before you ask I did share some with the others, ah good times]

(Bye Lilly~)

(I'M TOO LATE, AH.

BYEEEEEEE. *waves arms frantically*)

( good night Lilly!! And good luck! )

(Arthur has a lot of story he could tell...':D )

(Hahah I like him)

(Alright Lilly, goodnight!)

Victoria chuckled again, she found Rahab amusing and could understand his nervousness " it's a pleasure to meet you Rahab, you don't have to be so formal, in fact I welcome you to the family, just don't let it go to your head" she teased

The Vaseterm Queen, brushed one of your tassels behind her shoulder, she tips her head at the Griffin shapeshifter " the Vaseterm are known for their beauty, it's both a blessing and a curse, we tend to stand out in a crowd if we are not in disguise, making us easy targets from the creatures that hunt us..." The Queen look down with sorrow " there is not many of my people left after losing our home world, we been scattered across the realms thanks to Soledormir but I and Blue, who also is a clan leader have been gathering amd uniting the Vaseterms "

Rahab raised a brow slightly and gave a nod, though he amusingly muttered to himself, "Doesn't that contradict itself?" figuring that being part of a family meant doing whatever your head felt comfortable with doing, though he shrugged it off.
Rahab leaned into an armrest and listened, growing serious. "So it's true? You are the original remnants of Deluna, still alive to this day? How many clans still live?" he asked.

Catch chuckled " of course I'm teasing...I don't think a Prince or princess wouldn't get respected too much dress that way" the red hair Dreamer made a goofy face " wellll who said I haven't dressed up in something ridiculous before? Me and Weaver with a few other people at school did some time did some stupid stuff for laugh " but after saying this, Catch smile faded, Weaver was gone and Eira never made it to the shadow hunting school

It didn't take Malice long to find Alexandrea, he approached her quietly, seen that the Griffin was sleeping, he walked up next besides her and laid down, he put a wing over her and lead his head down, he wasn't sleepy, he had to much on his mind

Eira snorted and giggled. "No way, really? I can't believe I missed out on that!" she said, then grew quiet as well as she recalled the reasons why. It had been years later before she ran into Catch again, and there was seldom a moment to truly catch up because of their calling to stop Soledormir. It almost felt as though a part of her husband had slipped past her fingers, lost into the unknown.
Eira dropped her gaze for a minute, then glanced back up at Catch with a faint smile. "I'm glad we're together again..."

Victoria nodded " indeed there are those of us that have live in the time of Deluna rain and downfall... I am one of them" the memories of Alexandria's last hours on her home world was still Crystal clear even after nearly 22,000 years"

The Queen thought about the last question " there are 11 strong clans, with a handful of smaller scattered ones" she sighed "that's not counting how many individuals have been separated from clans "

( I'm getting really sleepy, I think it's a good place to call it a night? )

( I'm going pass out soon so I guess this is good night!)

(Haha okay! Goodnight!)

(Goodnight!)

(boop)

(tha snoot)

(Woot)

(Noot)

(Chicken coop)

(I believe the word is poop

What are we doing? xD)

(Wasting our lives away xD)

(I approve, I'm fine wasting my life away~)

(σˋ▽ˊ)σ

(X'D

( hello)

hi

For the longest time the thought of killing Nightmares was the only thing on the boys mind but that wasn't the case any more, after being with the group and mostly being with Crystal, killing Nightmares was less on Crimson mind, he had discovered something more

But the prince wasn't expecting the Nightmare question, Crim had just taken a drink of hot chocolate and nearly choked on it, his face was priceless, it was bright red with embarrassment, he took his free hand and cover his mouth and coughed, after he cleared his throat and wiped any chocolate that was on his face off from coughing
Crimsons look at Eater with a wide eye like he been caught doing something " uh, well we're friends and I-I really like Crystal" he started obviously embarrassed wit how red his face was, the Dragon shapeshifter look down at his cup in his hands, thinking about the human girl made him feel warm inside and calm " I like her a lot... I think I love her, no, I know I do " he said a genuine smile came to the boys lips.

However confessing this in front of someone else other then Crystal and that person just happened a Nightmare, Crimson look at Eater incomplete embarrassment " WHAT THE HECK DO YOU WANT TO KNOW THAT FOR?!" he blurted out, not out of anger just loud embarrassment

(Lol X'DD)

Dreameater watches as Crimson chokes on his hot chocolate, but he isn't terribly concerned about it--he's done the same thing with hot chocolate before. He listens when the red prince admits his feelings for Crystal and tries not to make a disgusted face the whole time, but when Crimson yells at him in his embarrassment, the Nightmare flinches and nervously holds his hands up. "I was just trying to think of things to help with your crazy corruption!!" Eater explains, "Dark, evil things don't like the fluffy feelings and stuff, I sure don't, so I figured if you had those feelings for someone, it might help you, but I wasn't sure if you did or not!"

The young Nightmare pauses a moment, clearing his throat and folding his arms, "... It's been a long time since I've talked to Crystal--well, uh, aside from when I was trying to get you your bracelet earlier--but she seems really nice, and she gave you good advice... I think she's a good face-sucking partner for you," Dreameater says, scrunching his face a little.

Crimsons look up at the chaotic scribblings on the wall, particularly the one in the dark writing, we're Crystal's name was written but clawed over, as the Dragon Prince look over his and the girl time together, he had to admit he didn't like her but that was before he actually know who Crystal was and by getting to know her Crimson realized how wrong he really was about things and for the first time sent his world was torn apart at the age of 8, Crim was finally able to be himself, not a creature driven by hate but someone who could laugh and joke, someone who was leaning and trying to care and be sympathetic to others, it was hard but been with the human girl made Crimson what to be better than what he was.

However Crimson didn't know just how much the darkness in him hated Crystals until this morning when that evil was released, the thought in his mind frightened him, he knew it wanted to kill the human girl and Crimson heart told him it was because he loved her " Soledormir hates love..." He whispered staring at the hot chocolate " every evil things he makes despises love, it doesn't matter what it is, Nightmare, shades, Reapers... They all hate love, but why is that? " he said more thinking out loud.

There was something that kept being brought up that confused the boy, Crimson took a sip of his hot chocolate before asking his question " face sucking? You mention that before with Malice and Alexandrea? What is that?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, the Prince had no clue what kissing was, he was originally a dragon and his time as a shapeshifter he didn't really get out much so is knowledge on dating was very limited it consisted of spending time with that person, hugs and holding hands and that was it

( if anyone else wants to continue RP to, you can :))

Face sucking was something he had no clue about, Crimson narrowed his eyes " is that some form of manipulations? I seen Nightmares use charm to deceive other are you implying I'm doing that to Crystals or she tricking me?!" He said insulted, the boy had no idea what what face sucking was but clearly Malice and Alex and the only conclusion that came to his mind was it was some form of manipulation, that Malice was tricking the Phoenix shapeshifter that he loved her, so he could probably use her // that probably why she came here, she said she was going to save Malice, he must be using her...// But that though of himself being accused of something that Malice had done, insulted the boy, he placed a hand on his chest " IM NOT TRY TO MANIPULATE CRYSTAL! AND I KNOW SHE NEVER DO THAT TO ME! "

"Hmm..." Eater mumbles, really trying to think about the question Crimson asked out loud. Why /does/ Soledormir and his creations hate love? For him, the first thing he thinks of is because it's gross, the fluffy, warm, fuzzy feelings whole-chests have are disturbing, maybe that's it? ... But then he thinks even deeper about it... Why does /he/ hate those feelings? It's because of his instincts, it's because of Soledormir... He doesn't even know what it's like to love someone, he can't feel that emotion--who's he to say that it's so horrible? ... But then, in that case, what is it like to love someone? What is that feeling good for? And then, Eater starts thinking back to Weaver, back to the time when he told Purity he loved her, when they did the face-sucking for the first time... No, he doesn't remember the love his former self had for her, but he does remember his fear--Weaver was terrified that he was going to kill her, he was afraid she was going to die, he wanted to stay with her, keep her safe. He couldn't lose her.

Dreameater had really been spacing out the whole time he was thinking about this and unintentionally tuned out Crimson a bit, until the red prince started shouting again. The young Nightmare rubs his arms at first as if he were cold, then he looks over to Crimson with a confused expression and says, "What? No, no--I mean, I don't know, face-sucking is weird! Look, I don't know what Alex and Malice are doing when they suck faces, but Malice has been acting really weird ever since he started doing it, I think there's something wrong with him, maybe Alex is using face-sucking magic on him? ... So it's changing him now?" After throwing that theory out there, Dreameater then turns a bit so he can face Crimson better, and scratches the side of his head thoughtfully, "Uhm, face-sucking isn't a form of manipulation as far as I know, I think it's just something people do when they love each other... Weaver did it to Purity one time when he learned I was going to take over his body, and he said he loved her, and I think Catch and Eira probably do it a lot because they're married, so they're stuck together... Oh, and you whole-chests call it 'kissing,' Nightmares call it face-sucking... or at least I do..."

Eater then hesitates a moment, deciding to answer the question that got him thinking in the first place, "And, you asked why Soledormir and his things hate love... I don't really know why, but I was thinking it's because it makes people scared of losing the ones they love? It makes you value those people? Maybe he thinks no one else matters except him, so he doesn't want his evil creatures to care about what they kill."

A weird out look came on Crimson face as Eater talk about face sucking again // it makes Malice weird?... like how?... AND WHAT THE HECK IS FACE SUCKING ANYWAYS? it just sounds gross// as the young Nightmare go on, the dragon shapeshifter expression shift to a more confused curious one " so this 'kissing' is showing someone you love them? I don't think I seen it before " he tipped his head up and close his eye in thought, Crimson memories of his life before Malice came we're faded, but he could make out his mother and father together, he remembered them wrapping their tails around one another but human didn't have those so he figured holding hands was about the same thing, he remembered his parents nuzzling one another // that kinda like hugging right? So what kissing?//

The Dragon Prince thinks more on the topic of showing affection and remember his mom licking his cheek before bed and his parents would do that to each other from time to time. Dragon don't exactly have lips or not all of them.

Crimsons looks at the young Nightmare with a raised eyebrow as he asked his questions " is kissing what Human call licking? They do that? Should I lick Crystals cheek to show I love her?" He honestly had no clue
At the last part of Eater talk the boy look back to his hot chocolate " I can see that...I think Crystal been holding me together, she help me pick up the pieces of myself I didn't even know I lost and we'll..." Fear wash over the prince, what Eater said made since, if Crimson didn't love Crystals he had a feeling he would have given in to the Darkness and wouldn't have thought anything wrong with that, killing wouldn't bother him because he wouldn't have understood why it was wrong, but now he knows and was afraid of losing someone he cares for

Eater quickly shakes his head no in response to Crimson's first question, "No, no, it's not licking, it's... well... face-sucking," he says, then wrinkles his nose before he tries to explain it in more detail, making faces to try and demonstrate, "When you go to kiss someone, you pucker your lips like you just ate a lemon--like this--then you close your eyes and carefully press your mouth on her face, and suck on her face a little." After making his demonstration and kissing the air, Dreameater stops and tries to think of anything else that might help the red prince kiss Crystal. "Mmm... I know usually, when humans kiss, it's either on the lips or the cheek, and they usually close their eyes when kissing... Mmmmaybe you could talk to Catch about this sometime? He's a nice guy, and I'm sure he's much better at explaining face-sucking... but that's all I know about 'kissing.'"

Sensing Crimson's fear, the young Nightmare gives him a faint smile and says, "Hey, be thankful you do have her, that she's been able to help you so much."

(Oh my goodness, x'D)

(that would make for an awkward first kiss xD)

Crimsons raise his eyebrow as the young Nightmare stater to explain kissing, he watches Eater make his demonstration // that looks ridiculous...// But doesn't say anything, he was curious until the Nightmare Menton lemons "THAT'S DISGUSTING! Why would you eat an LEMON? " He pause only for a moment as his mind try to wraparound this information, it didn't make sense to him "I didn't even think lemon came from human! "

Crimsons was making a horrible face like he just ate something nasty, he didn't like lemons, he try to push that though aside for the moment when Eater brought up another name " yeah, I wouldn't mind talking to Catch, I already have a lot of questions I like to ask him...that if after what happened anyone else would talk to me..." He shrugged his shoulders.

The dragon shapeshifter nodded with a soft smile in agreement " I am" he then take a sip of his hot chocolate

He shrugged his shoulders.

The dragon shapeshifter nodded with a soft smile in agreement " I am" he then take a sip of his hot chocolate, his body heavy with fatigue, the day had really taking its toll on the boy

At first, Eater was going to straight up agree with Crimson that kissing is disgusting, but then he raises an eyebrow at the prince when he starts going on about lemons, then tips his head, "Huh...? I didn't say you /eat/ a lemon, you just make the face like you did," he explains, "Lemons don't come from women's faces, they come from trees!"

The Nightmare then smiles faintly and playfully taps Crimson's shoulder with his fist, "Hey, I'm sure people will come down to chat with you, just give 'em some time to relax after everything. It's been kind of a crazy day so far..." he says, getting up off the bed and stretching, "How about you finish off that hot chocolate and get some sleep now that the creepy blood lady's out of your head? I've still got people to talk to to get Hope linked up to them so she'll start feeling better, but maybe when I come back, I can bring some stuff with me so you'll have stuff to do while you're in here. And maybe later we can go for a walk or something? ... We'll see."

"... Oh! And I almost forgot, I got your bell," Dreameater remembers, pulling the small soundproof box out of one of his pockets and setting it on the bed beside the prince, "I think it might be good if you found a way to hide it somehow, I mean sure, I don't imagine I'll react like the Nightmares you told me about and come running like a little foal, but still, I don't think we'd want it to get taken or anything."

It finally click in the prince head and he made an 'ohhhh' face. " I thought they came from trees... I knew that..." He tried to cover up his mistake.

Crimson look down at his hot chocolate, most of it was gone, he didn't reply to the first comment, his mind was on him sleeping and the possible dreams or more likely not he have, but the boy remember something, he took his free hand and rubbed we're Alex place a seal on him //maybe she not that bad? //
"Alex said that seal will help me sleep...I think I'll be okay, you take care of Hope"
Crimsons nodded at Eater, keep that bell somewhere safe was a very good idea " I'll think of somewhere to hide it" he glanced at his cell already thinking on a place it could go

"Sounds good!" Eater remarks before turning and picking up Loyalty, letting the black blade dissolve into shadows again before turning back to Crimson and giving him a thumbs up, and a big grin. "Well, I'll see you later then, I hope you're feeling better when you wake up!"

Crimsons watch Eater pick up his sword and thumbs up, " thanks, you take care" he replied // he one strange Nightmare //

The prince finished his hot chocolate and set the cup on the floor, the boy took off his shoes and put them together on the ground as well. Crimsons was tired, he laid down on the bed but was trying to fight sleep, he was both afraid of sleep and he had a lot on his mind, he was thinking about Alexandrea and Malice, and all what Eater said and about Crystal. Eventually his exhaustion took him and the boy fell asleep
