Royal Shadow

[RavenMist]

She nods softly, "It's fair to say I'll need to keep this quiet. No one in the slums will like the fact I've kept him alive, never mind the fact he'll be living with me." She says, shaking her head.

 

[Hellfire]

"I won't speak of it to anyone but you, you have my word." Shadow said, looking back at Nathan and Darren. "You'll have to find some way to keep him hidden, or maybe change his appearence."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods again, "Maybe we get rid of all his hair." She says with a small laugh. She pulls a hand through her own hair and looks at Nathan, "I trust Nathan, for now anyway. I don't know if he has an alternative motive but he seems alright." She says quietly.

 

[Hellfire]

He looks over at Nathan. "I don't know him as well as you do, you would be a better judge at finding what he is actually thinking." He comments

 

[RavenMist]

She nods again, frowning, "My only worry is he'll pick up a courage to challenge me. He knows how much of a mess I am now. He's already let me know I can't afford to be weak." She murmurs, shrugging.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow narrows his eyes at Nathan. "You can't afford weakness." He said turning back to her. "But that doesn't mean i'm going to let anything happen to you."

 

[RavenMist]

"I'll be fine, I just had a wobble earlier. We were talking about death percentage of the slums and I started thinking too much." She says softly. Her face remained neutral, "I don't want to be weak, but I don't want to turn into some cold hearted idiot." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

"Your compassion is not a weakness." He said quietly. "You are willing to help others, even at great person cost. I find that to be a strength that few have."

 

[RavenMist]

"As my father said, heros in this world don't often survive. And he's right because even if my compassion is a strength for me, the others around me will use and bend it into some weakness." She says, "Everything is getting on top of me, I won't lie. But now, after what Nathan said, I can't afford to let him see it."

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow looked over at Nathan. "Don't carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, you will break." He frowns as he looks back at her. "Let others help you carry the weight. Even if it is just a small part."

 

[RavenMist]

"Not if I'm already broken, like a vase with a giant crack but there's a ting piece holding the whole thing together. But you know if you let that piece fall away the whole thing breaks open." She muses, smiling slightly, "I keep making lists of things to do in my head and I relax for a moment and I think of something else to add to the list. It never stops." She murmurs.

 

[Hellfire]

"If that is the case, then be very gentle with that small piece." His voice held a hint of concern. He smiles lightly. "I can understand the list thing, i still do it myself."

 

[RavenMist]

"The everlasting list the never seems to stop, one problem solved and another appears." She says with a small laugh. She rubs her face and yawns slightly.

 

[Hellfire]

"I believe that list is known as life." He said, laughing himself. "A least I can never claim to be without something to do. Although I can't go on forever, and neither can you."

 

[RavenMist]

She shrugs slightly, "Neither of us can but garenteed we'll die trying." She says, chuckling slightly. She looks at him, "I like your mask." She says.

 

[Hellfire]

He reaches up and touches the mask unconsiously. "True, both of us are stubburon." He smiled. "Maybe that isn't such a good thing." He lowers his hand. "Thanks, I am fond of it." He says, talking about the mask.

 

[RavenMist]

"One day, we'll both me old and wrinkly. One day we won't be able to run around saving the day." She says with a small laugh, "We'll be as stubborn as ever, no doubt in that." She explains.

 

[Hellfire]

"By that age I'll have some young fool that I can order around." He chuckled. "Hopefully he will be my son, but I would be happy with simply a prodigee. I hear it is nice to have someone to boss around. You'll probably still be running the faction single-handedly, maybe with the council of a husband."

 

[RavenMist]

She laughs softly, "I might just opt out of thinking about weddings for awhile." She says with a grin, "Though, children or a child is one thing that I'll look forward to." She says with a chuckle, "Find the right guy first, not think about having mini Nathan's around." She says with a laugh.

 

[Hellfire]

Shadow moaned in mock horror. "One is enough for me." He said, laughing. "I'm sure you'll find the right guy someday. I just hope he is capable of surviving this crazy mess." He gestures to all four of them. "I don't want to even know what the future holds if this is the band right now."

 

[RavenMist]

She chuckles softly, "Not many will put up with me." She says, looking at Darren and Nathan, "Us four aren't doing that bad. You three are managing well with being bossed around by a female. We make a good team." She teases, "I think when it comes down to it, the 'right' guy for me is going to have to win all of your approvals too." She laughs, leaning against the wall.

 

[Hellfire]

He laughs and shrugs. "Girl's are usally in charge anyway, most men just won't admit it." He looked over at Darren and Nathan. "That is going to have to be one strange guy to pass by all of us."

 

[RavenMist]

She nods, chuckling, "It'll have to be a miracle of a man to even win my approval." She says in amusement,

 

[Hellfire]

"Miracles do happen." He said with a small smile. "You'll find each other eventually." He looks thoughful. "Whoever is willing to marry me is going to have to be a tough person, i'm always in trouble somehow."

 

[RavenMist]

"I'm sure eventually someone will be brave enough to put up with saving your ass." She jokes, laughing. She looks back at Darren and Nathan and then him, "Me finding the right guy is going to be like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Usually, rulers would throw a ball or be arranged to marry someone. Marrying has never been about love when it comes to power." She comments, staring into space.


(Quick question. Are we going to make it as Isabella and Shadow because closer in terms of romance or do we introduce a new character?)
