Royal Shadow

[Hellfire]

He shrugs. "Take a nap?" He thinks outloud. "I honestly have no idea, although I do wonder what is taking those two so long." He frowned slightly. "Do they still have there radios on them?" He asked, reaching for his ear where is own radio still sat.

 

[RavenMist]

She pauses for a moment, thinking, "I didn't see them take them out, so possibly." She says, looking out of the window, looking out, "Surely they'd be fine?" She says, questionably, "In fact, no, when has anyone been fine." She says, touching her ear piece, 'Darren?" She says, tapping on her data pad now.

 

[Hellfire]

"Yea." Darren replied immediately. "Sorry, I got a bit side tracked." He explained quickly assuming the reason she had contacted him. "Shadow and I ran into a little trouble with a small guild but we are on our way now."

 

[RavenMist]

She breathes out a breath of relief and smiles at Nathan, "Okay, just checking in." She says with a small chuckle. She looks around slowly now.

 

[Hellfire]

"Alright." Darren replies before the radio goes silent once again.


"For some reason those two always seem to get into trouble." Nathan commented. "I swear they go looking for it."

 

[RavenMist]

"It is their job. They're used to helping people who need it." She says softly, laughing. She looks out of the window again and smiles slightly, "At least a lot of the food has been given out. I'll work out a ration system until I can work out how much food there is for everyone."

 

[Hellfire]

"Well then they are very good at their job." He leaned against the wall. "The royals hold all of the food, money, anything really. Send groups to take the stores they have in their houses and you should have enough to feed the slums several times over."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, "I feel if we hand out all of the food straight away, people aren't going to run out quicker, and it all needs to last til next harvest." She says, "With the sudden rise of food amounts, people are going to eat more and a lot more often. Those who are starving will damage themselves more eating too much after a diet like that."

 

[Hellfire]

"Very true, we will have to ration until we can get the people's health back up and we figure out the new system." Nathan turned as a door opened.


Darren and Shadow wondered in. Shadow sported a new mask, and although it covered most of his face it was clear he looked pleased with himself. "Sorry about the wait." Darren said to Isabella.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella smiles softly, "It's fine, we finsihed up for today and managed to lower the taxes." She says, she looks over at Shadow and raises an eyebrow, "You look pleased at something.. Want to share?" She chimes, looking at the new mask, holding back a sarcastic comment about how good his face was looking.

 

[Hellfire]

"Just happy to have this old thing back on." He tapped his mask. "It was my first, and it still holds plenty of luck in it."


Darren bumped Shadow in the shoulder. "Luck? Is that what you call geting ambushed?"


"We won, didn't we?" Shadow shots back. "This mask and me have gone through a lot over the years. All the other ones I have cared to use have broken."

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods and chuckles, putting the data pad down. She takes a seat again and looks around for a moment, looking back at Nathan, "I think I need something lucky. Like a suit." She says with a laugh, referring to the other conversation.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren and Shadow pauses to look at they quizically. Nathan shakes his head, laughing at what she had said and at the other's reaction. "Just as long as you don't try getting one of us into a dress." He gestured between him, Shadow, and Darren.

 

[RavenMist]

At this point she lost it, laughing as she looks at them all, tears in her eyes, "Stop. I'm not that bad. I don't intend to marry any of you and make them wear a dress." She says, laughing more, "Though, it's not that bad of an idea. Shadow, you wouldn't mind wearing a pink frilly dress would you?" She says between laughs.

 

[Hellfire]

Darren and Shadow look at each other, more than a little confused. "Pink dress?" Shadow said, shaking his head. "If anything, i would wear black." He smiled, laughing himself.

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs more and wipes her eyes, looking at Nathan, in amusement, "Let's stop, they look confused." She laughs turning back, "Oh shadow, we need to talk later, about my father." She says, settling back down now, a smile on her face.

 

[Hellfire]

"I never get to have fun." Nathan said, a smile on his face. Darren rubbed his forhead, laughing silently.


Shadow nodded to Isabella. "Alright." He said simply, stilling smiling form his earlier comment. "I probably don't want to even know what kind of conversation you guys had. Me in a dress.." He laughed once again.

 

[RavenMist]

She chuckles again, nodding at Nathan, "It's nice to have my best friend semi back. Even if he is just like the ugly older brother I was never blessed with." She teases, standing up, she looks at Darren and Nathan, "You guys okay to look after yourselves while me and Shadow go have a chat?" She asks.

 

[Hellfire]

"Ugly older brother?" Nathan scowled, but his tone was amused. "We will be fine, go have your personal time." He added.


Shadow walked over to Isabella as Nathan and Darren began talking to each other.

 

[RavenMist]

Isabella nods at Nathan and walks out of the way before turning back to Shadow, "I went to see my father alone." She says suddenly, her tone soft, not sure how he'd react.

 

[Hellfire]

He nods with a frown. "Alright." He wwaits to hear the rest, curious as to why she would pull him aside to talk to him about her father. "Speaking of him, we need to send someone over to take care of him."

 

[RavenMist]

"We got talking." She murmurs, "About change, about him staying with me." She says quietly, "Under watch, of course." She murmurs softly, looking up at him.

 

[Hellfire]

He tenses slightly. "Family is family, no matter who they are. I guess it doesn't surprise me that you would want to change him for the better." He sighs. "As long as he doesn't hurt anyone I would be fine with that, but I will keep a close eye on him."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods again, "I can't lose anymore family, and as much as I hate how he's ruled, he's my father." She says softly, "One step out of line and you can toss him into the prison all you want." She says with a short smile. She looks up at him now

 

[Hellfire]

He nods. "Family takes care of family no matter what." He lloks up at her with a small smile. "Even if you just want to hit them at times, you take care of them."
