[King Acunasti]

"Alright." Calixte replied. "Come on, Margot. Time to go talk to the King."

He respectfully entered the chamber.

[Eltee]

The King smiled. "Ser Calixte... And, his fair maiden, it seems. Well met, darling." He inclined his head.
Margot speechlessly curtseyed.
"How can I be of service to either of you?" The King asked, steely grey eyes alighting on Cal.

[King Acunasti]

"Where is the Captain, Majesty?" Calixte asked. "I believe Ippolit and I need more training."

[Eltee]

"In the Great Hal, still, I believe." The King said.

[King Acunasti]

"Great hall." Calixte said. "Got it. By the way, this is my girl, Margot." He wrapped his arms around the young woman, thinking of something to say that would cheer her up. "She's my fiancée."

[Eltee]

Margot's legs gave out. "C-C-Cal!" She stammered, that unique tone of absolute joy and astonishment reentering her voice.

[King Acunasti]

Calixte chuckled and pulled Margot to her feet. "Thank you, Majesty." he laughed as he exited the room with the young servant.

Uairrian didn't wait for Faralen, to reply, but said thanks and left with the three nightshades.

[Eltee]

"Fiance!" Margot said breathlessly.

[King Acunasti]

Calixte was intent on keeping Margot in this mood for as long as possible. "That's right." he said. "Come on. Let's go find the Captain."

[Eltee]

They entered the Great Hall, which had filled to it's capacity with castle staff. Duncan remained at the head of the room, near the vacated throne.

[King Acunasti]

"When was the last time you left the castle, Margot?" Calixte asked.

[Eltee]

"Two months ago." Margot said. "Me and Vyna went to see you and Ippolit off on your adventure."

[King Acunasti]

"Yeah?" Calixte chuckled. He drew her closer. "Did you like what you saw?"

He quickly pulled out a Large sack of coins. "Head down to the market and go nuts. Buy everything you ever dreamed of having! But be back by dark. Then we'll celebrate."

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

NEEEEEE!
DM lil me. You can't leave the castle.

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

I know. But Margot can, right?

[Eltee]

"If... But... Okay!" Margot said.

[King Acunasti]

Keep her happy. Never let her become sad again. She does not deserve sadness.

He grinned and kissed her on the cheek. "Have fun, sweetheart. I'll miss you."

[Eltee]

"You too!" Margot said, kissing him back. She happily walked away.

[King Acunasti]

Calixte smiled and approached Duncan. "Hey, mate." he said, sitting down.

[Per]

Spoiler:

Hey, Duncan'd left the room. I was gonna talk to Faralen about finding out who ruined her room.

[Eltee]

Spoiler:

Whoops. I suck.

[Avron the S'wit]

Spoiler:

So does JV for just takin' my nightshades!

Faralen stuttered and watched helplessly as Uairian took the package and left with it. "B-b-b-but!" she cried in vain. With a deep sigh the alchemist drew forth a book from her drawer and carefully inscribed within: Priestess Uairian ... nightshade ... 3

Then the alchemist took the jar and began the climbing process to return it to its place on the highest shelf.

[Leyyuce]

Gin-Lei worked diligently to return his items to their previous locations, desiring to hastily restore a sense of normalcy as to soon continue his daily activities. Feeling a bit liberated by his bondage items' discovery and consequential dismissal, he neglected to hide the applicable chest and only locked it with only a single mechanism; satisfied, he proceeded to change his clothing and then to proceed into the hallway toward his workshop.

[Eltee]

Calixte ran into Duncan in the hall.
