It was clear that what was a futile effort to curb away concerns of those about him had not just been wasted energy but was unnecessary. A stomach bug truly was what Purdie had to say in order to explain away the pains about his abdomen, and a tinge of an embarrassed smile temporarily graced his lips. "Turning in early and some herbal tea would really help."
It was clear that Mistral had more to say but was shortly cut off by the ever approaching Kira. Out of the whole of the Water Kingdom's nobility Iris and what consisted of her family had selectively stayed behind to keep the locale in line while the true royalty were away. Alas such a decision allowed it so that Iris, Zane's wife and their newly appointed Queen, was to miss his crowning as would their children. So Kira's unexpected sighting was clearly an odd and highly concerning one. Surely she would not make such a rapid trip across the oceans for nothing more than to say hello and enjoy the party?
These concerns were sadly confirmed when no sooner did she approach that she outlined every event which had led her all the way to the Imperial Kingdom. Kolt son of Samantha had assaulted Iris. It was like a slap to the face. First they had to struggle with Amara being slain by the hands of a demon, then there was the King's increasing urge to slaughter all demon-born despite clear evidence detailing that demons were not inherently blood thirty, war-mongering monsters. Now a noble born was attempting to kill another noble, only it was arguably amplified into possible regicide since these events may have conspired after Zane's crowning. Purdie turned to face Mistral who surely would have formulated a plan.
An offer to stay in the Imperial Kingdom to settle her nerves and enjoy herself at a gala in her father's name was presented to Kira, then a promise that later he would return to the Water Kingdom with the proposal that she could join him should Kira wish so. Purdie was silent throughout this conversation torn between staying and leaving. What value did Purdie had to stay in the Imperial Kingdom knowing that Slasher still roamed the castle and could always harm Purdie once more. However, if Kolt was still out there and Purdie returned to the Water Kingdom his life might be put in jeopardy. Who knew if Kolt was currently focused on ending the nobility or ending all involved in law making?
"What do you need me to do?" Purdie asked Mistral. There was little Purdie could do sadly, but if Mistral needed him for something or preferred he stay behind then Purdie would do as ordered.
Out of the corner of his eye as he sat talking with Mistral Purdie could spot Slasher wander right up to Queen Catherine. His tipsy mannerisms were a sign that he had drunk enough to lose some of his inhibitions and he carelessly slipped a hand over her shoulder. Purdie's stomach churned in disgust at the sight, observing Slasher's drink spill from his glass and, of course, atop where he breasts were located. Mouths moved but Purdie heard nothing as Slasher spoke, observing his eyes fall to the kitchen. His lips pursued in concern- Slasher had already clearly been ogling and lusting over Catherine so seeing him so close to her, to someone who had helped Purdie earlier disgusted him.
I'm currently at... Imperial Kingdom; Ballroom And I am with... Mistral, Kira, Catherine, Slasher, Henry, Ren, Rayne, Zane, and others I am also feeling... Highly nervous, still ill, equally disgusted at Slasher

Davon Landri, Queen's consort Even though he hadn't been able to buy as many toys as he would like, thanks to his wife's disapproval, Davion had been able to buy a few that he'd always wanted, and replace what he'd lost in the Demon War. For instance, he finally had another sword after he broke the last one he'd had, the one he used now from the castle's armory was much nicer as well. He was just about to enter the tavern he and Frederick had agreed to meet at when he noticed his ring start to glow. Well that was awkward, but at least it appeared to work like they had wanted, he did wish she had waited a little longer though. He twisted it around and closed his hand so that no one else would see the glow, then changed course and went into the alley by the tavern, making sure no one was watching him before he vanished, teleporting back to the Imperial castle. He appeared in one of the side rooms near where he knew the coronation was happening, and went straight there, knowing Catherine would be upset if he took too long. He spotted her and raised an eyebrow as he started over to her. "Having trouble my dear? Well, I suppose we had best get you cleaned up." He said, taking her arm and taking the napkins from her, as he had noticed just what the motions she was making looked like. "Thank you for entertaining her, but I think I can handle it from here." He said, giving Slasher a thin smile before he lead her out, quickly teleporting back to their rooms before Slasher could follow or make any other trouble. "Can't stay out of trouble for one whole afternoon, can you my love. Well, lets get you out of that wet dress." He said softly, smiling fondly at his wife and touching her cheek.

Davon Landri, Queen's consort Davion smiled and kissed his wife. "Yes, but first things first though my love, you called, and here I am. We can't go back until our jewelry stops glowing."He told her, making short work of his own clothes before dragging her into their bed to satisfy her needs. She had to get back out there, and he needed to get back to hunting that demon. --------- Once his wife's needs were satisfied, he quickly put on his own clothes again, and set to helping her into a clean dress that she picked out. "Please try to avoid letting him spill more alcohol on you, you only have so many dresses, and he's almost certain to try something inappropriate with you. Slasher seems to care nothing for what anyone else things or anyone's rules. I think he's almost as bad as the demon general from the war." He told her quietly as he helped her dress, hoping she'd understand what he meant by how dangerous Slasher was. Davion wouldn't put it past the man to try and take advantage of, or outright rape Catherine if he got the chance, though hopefully he wouldn't get any.

Kira LunarisThe Imperial Palace Ballroom . She is off to find the wizard Mistral (and his Purdie too)
_________________________________________________________
Kira was relieved to find that both council members listened to her with no complaint. In fact they listened with the skill she would expect from them. "I am sorry to have interrupted your conversation," she added the first opportunity she could. "If you and Councilman Purdie are both willing to, I would glad appreciate it if you would accompany me." She spoke calmly keeping the title more for the Mistral's sake than her own. She took a moment to glance around the room and noticing that many were still enraptured with the celebration. Her eyes just paused long enough on the scene with her grandfather and she realized why her father had wanted her to stick close to either her Uncle or Mistral. It was quiet clear to her that her grandfather had been drinking. In this state she learned very young that her grandfather's action were un-predictable, and while she doubted he would harm her, she knew it was best not to leave things to chance.
"But if you would rather finish your conversation, I can understand that as well," she muttered. "Though, Father wished that I remain close to you or Uncle Henry though. So if I may, can I burden you just long enough till Uncle Henry finishes talking to Queen Samantha? Even if I just need to stick in your line of sight, I can give you the space you need to talk..." The last thing she wanted was to be a burden. Especially when everyone was supposed to be celebrating the coronation of her father. If she could not handle a party like this, or being responsible in a time of emergency, then she would be a poor princess indeed. But when Mistral offered to take her home tonight she almost jumped for joy. "If it is not an inconvenience, I would really appreciate it if you were able to take me home. I really would like to be with my family right as soon as I reasonably can." She knew Mistral would not offer unless he had the means to take her home, but she did not want to complicate matters more with her selfish desires.

Davon Landri, Queen's consort Davion sighed a little and waited until she tried to storm off before teleporting in front of her and grabbing her shoulders. "Catherine, please. I don't think you're encouraging him, but you're amazingly beautiful and attractive. And he's insane, especially when he's intoxicated. I love you more then anything, and I don't want to see him hurt you. I know I can't make you do anything, but please, be cautious around him." He told her quietly, hugging her close before he let go of her again and stepped out of her way. He thought it might be better to leave just then, but he at least wanted to wait to see if she was going to say anything back.

Davon Landri, Queen's consort Davion sighed quietly again and shook his head. This pregnancy was making her more moody then he'd ever seen her, or even any of her family. He wanted to go keep an eye on her and keep her out of trouble...but he had a job to do, and Frederick was expecting him. He teleported back into town after straightening his clothes. He stepped quietly into the tavern and looked around after giving his eyes a moment to adjust. He smile when he saw Frederick and walked over, sitting at his table. "Hello Frederick, sorry I'm late. My wife's pregnancy is making her amazingly moody recently." He explained to the other man, shaking his head a little and ordering a drink from the bar maid.

Samantha Lunaris Williarth- Earth Kingdom High Noble and Old Queen/Fire Guardian
Samantha knew that Henry was right, but she couldn't help but feel bad that it had been her own son who had tried to kill Iris. None of her children had done this before and she never would have suspected Kolt of doing something like this. What had possessed him to do this, was he unhappy with them? Did he not love them as much as he had seemed to do? All these questions and more chased one another in the queen mother's mind, but she could not think of any reasonable answers. Sammy gave a nod to Henry when he suggested not telling Catherine, knowing her eldest child was moody as it was, she didn't want to add any fire to it until she had to. When telling Dusk was mentioned, she mentally winced. How in the world was she going to tell her husband that their son had done something so evil, something against their nature? Plus, how in the world was she going to keep it together in there with her family and friends galore? " Give me a few minutes, Henry, then I will join you and Ren inside. I need to speak to Dusk about this and pull myself together,"she answered. She tried to force her own smile, trying to show she would be alright, even if every fiber of her being wanted to collapse and weep. Satara thought about her father's wars and as much as she would have hated to admit it the day her niece died and for a little while after, he made a good point. The war would have made it hard to track down Amara's killer and the creep would have possibly gotten away with murder. Had she been so blinded by rage that she hadn't even seen that or the fact that there was no proof that it was the acts of one individual? " You're right, Dad, I guess I was too angry at the time to think clearly. I am sorry, I know you expect better of me. I do hope whoever is responsible will be found and taken care of. And hopefully it was just one person involved,"Tara answered.

~*~Levi Wade Lunaris~*~ -Youngest Son of Zane and Iris; Aspiring Sage- Where am I?: Water Kingdom, Grand Castle Halls, then to the Medical Wing With Whom?:
Levi could not contain his anxiousness. He simply had to know what his father thought of his report. He sprints down the hall, grasping at the hem of his robes with one hand, and his hat with the other, and heads into the medical wing faster than the guards could stop him. Bently waved at the guards as it to say 'let the kid be'. The guard also informed the prince that Miss Evelyn was waiting for him in a nearby exam room.
"Miss Evelyn!?" The moment Levi entered the curtains, he stopped to see a very shirtless Anders, and Evy off to the side, hiding her embarrassment. Did something...?
Oh my god. Something must have...
The child turned a feverish shade of red, backing up with a nervous giggle, and holds his hands up. "Oh! Miss Evelynn...Brother! Uh...Sorry, I...I thought this Father's ...um...I suppose I will get back to research to...um...you know, figure out a serum to help uh...soldiers so they recover quicker. Yes, I think that would be a wise course erm..." Levi found himself flustered, and looked away. "C-Carry on with your...good work. I'll return later?" He then slowly backed away, and looked like a ghost. The doctor stopped the child, asking what was wrong. To protect both Anders and Evelynn he simply answered that he had accidentally stumbled into the powder room. The doctor simply chuckled, and walked away.
Maybe he should wait and find his father later?

Averes Lunaris, former king and guardian Averes smiled and hugged his daughter. "Its alright. I've been that angry a few times. I wasn't exactly reasonable after your mother and you kids vanished. The important thing is no one innocent got hurt." He pointed out kissing her forehead. He'd been a little worse then 'not exactly reasonable' but he'd tried hard to put that behind himself, especially after how Aurora had scolded him about it. He'd been quite angry about this too, but Aurora had already been there to calm him down, and keep him from making decisions with his anger.

Mistral looked at Kira and shook his head. "We were just having an idle chit chat." He thought a bit longer. He wanted to be home just as much as the next guy after hearing this information. He had been debating about bringing Purdie back with him as well, but if Purdie truly was ill, would it be safe? It really wasn't safe for the royals to stay here in Imperial even with Zane the King now. Slasher was a ticking time bomb yet. And then with the attack recently on Iris in the Water Kingdom, it wasn't safe there either. He turned to look at Purdie. "Purdie, I think it'll be better that you stay here. Maybe retire for the night with some nice tea? I can leave tonight with Kira. I do not think Slash would question it. He knows...my situation." He was referring to the guardian role. "He wont think much if Kira comes with me either. He'd understand, at least I'd hope he would." The sooner he could get back he happier he'd be. Making sure that Iris was all right for himself and to make sure the soldiers did not slack off. He wanted Kolt to be found.
Mistral looked over to Henry. "I see. I cannot imagine she took it well." He frowned. "What do you think of my leaving within the next hour here? Take Kira with me. The night is already well underway."
Anders was about to reply to Evy when Levi entered. Anders face blushed as if it hadn't been already, and cursed that his little brother just HAD to come in now. "Ah, Levi it..." He sighed as he stood up, grabbing his shirt and put it on. He looked over at Evy. He couldn't just leave things like this, could he? He chewed on the inside of his lip as he tried to figure out what to do. One problem at a time, right? That's what his father would say. Evy first then go after Levi. He walked over to Evy and placed a hand on her shoulder, gentle, but firm. He gently turned her so she was facing him. "Evelyn, I...I owe you a lot. Um." His eyes shifted to the floor for a moment before looking back at her. "Evelyn, I like you, a lot. I'd like to take you to dinner sometime, if that would be all right." He didn't stumble too much on his words.
Slash was a bit disappointed when Catherine had left with Davion. He had seen her necklace glow, but he did not think much of it. He figured he'd just go back to drinking and hitting on whomever was nearest him. It didn't take long until Slash was standing with Alfred. Slash's lips twisted into a smirk. "Of course I do. I carry just about every wonderful liquor that the four kingdoms have to offer. I have a splendid idea. Why don't you and I go back to my study?" He grinned as he placed an arm round Alfred's shoulders as if they were already real good buddies. Slash had found Alfred to be quite good looking.

Despite wanting to try and help it was clear that the most Purdie could do was retire early and hope that Iris was alright. He looked to Henry when he arrived, informing the three that Samantha had been sadly updated about her son's betrayal and that for the sake of everyone else it was best to speak nothing more until needed. Purdie looked to Mistral and Kira listening to them talk about this evening's plan. In an hour or so Mistral would take Kira home to check in on Iris, leaving Purdie alone at the castle. Well not alone, but not with someone he was very, very familiar with either. He looked to the door guessing he may as well head to bed early. Not that he was tired, but there was little else he could do here and staying up would definitely hold up Mistral from heading to the Water Kingdom.
"Well then," Purdie began looking to the three, "I might as well turn in early." Purdie offered a bow to Henry and the to Kira. "I'll speak nothing about this until needed." With a kiss and quick hug to Mistral Purdie turned and exited the ballroom. He quietly walked down the hallway towards his bedroom, dropping by the kitchen first to tell them to bring tea to his room.
I'm currently at... Imperial Kingdom; Hallway And I am with... Alone I am also feeling... Highly nervous, still ill, concerned

Kira LunarisThe Imperial Palace Ballroom . She is with Mistral, Purdie, and Henry... building a secret in a busy ballroom D:
_________________________________________________________
An hour, that was much quicker than Kira expected to be able to return home. She gave a mental sigh of relief and nodded silently in agreement to the idea that Mistral had brought up. She listened as Henry and Mistral started to plan the cover story for events and felt a pit rise in her stomach. She realized then that the meetings had not gone as planned and from the manner they wished to keep it a secret it was likely due to her Grandfather. But she also knew that it was best to keep matters like this as far of the radar as possible as well. She was taught that there were some who take advantage of a weekend.
When Mistral told Purdie that he should probably stay behind Kira felt a pang of guilt. It was in that moment that she realized that Purdie did seem to look like he felt unwell. A new level of guilt seemed to fill her as she realized that she probably added worry to an individual that needed to rest to recover. "Rest well" she spoke when he got up to bow an leave.
She turned to Mistral and her Uncle and place her hands on her hips.. She was the teenager in trouble because she snuck out and visited her dad, huh. She thought to herself and released another sigh... She wasn't her brother, this was a stunt he would no doubt-ably pull, but luckily she wasn't her sister either. Kira had a slight record for following along in her brothers antics on occasion, so the plot would be believable. "I came here, because I was bored an dad stole Renalas to visit mom... Why do I feel like I am going to get the short end of the stick here." she muttered. She was going to be very unhappy if she had to be "punished" for appearances sake when she got home. "So what now?" She asked them, they gave her a role and she might as well play it up.

Davon Landri, Queen's consort Davion smiled slightly at Frederick. Trust the man to see the best of things. "I'll manage, its just one more thing with everything else that's going on right now." He shook his head then ran a hand though his hair, looking back at the man. "Anyways. The sooner we get to what we're here for the better. Have you been able to find anything out about the person that we're looking for?" He asked, taking his drink when it arrived, and taking a big gulp of it. Most of this time with Catherine had be relatively simple, this pregnancy though was going to drive him mad at this rate. "Unfortunately I haven't had the time to do any digging yet I'm lucky I didn't have to spend all of today at Zane's coronation."

Samantha Lunaris Williarth- Earth Kingdom High Noble and Old Queen/Fire Guardian
Samantha watched as Henry headed back in, before she turned around to face the city. She leaned on the railing and finally shed the tears that had been begging to come out since the conversation with Henry started. She still couldn't believe her son would do something like this and it pained her to have think of how he would need to be punished. She had always thought he had been a good boy, maybe a little trouble at times, but she never thought he would try to kill someone. She felt so sick to her stomach and she knew she needed to get in touch with her husband. She took a deep breath, before she made the connection to him. ' Dy, my love, if Kolt comes home, you need to detain him immediately. He..he..tried to...kill Iris. I don't know...why..I just know..he did. I just..don't..know what to do,'she thought to him, the anguish in her mental voice unmistakable, even if she hadn't been stammering. Satara hugged her father back and smiled to him, glad he understood. It seemed she really was her father's daughter after all, they both had anger problems. She could imagine her father had been pretty upset when he was separated from all of them, even though at the time he didn't know she was even still alive. She had been merged with Samantha at the time of the rebellion, but she knew it would have been hard on her father either way. " I guess we both need to work on our anger, huh, Dad? I just couldn't think straight when Amara was killed, she had been so young. I guess I thought if we killed all the demons, then no one else would ever get hurt, pretty silly of me, huh? Thanks for understanding,"Tara responded.

Averes Lunaris, former king and guardian "Its ok honey, just come talk to your mother. I think he children not talking to her is really upsetting her." Averes told his daughter, starting to steer them both back over towards Aurora. He didn't really think it was as bad as he made it sound, but it would be good for Aurora to know that Satara had calmed down now. "Look dear, the daughter who's temper takes after her father has calmed down some." He said, grinning a little at his wife.
