A New Day, and New Mishaps (Open)

[†Kazira Astras†]

Kazira looked at Arthur and mentally sighed. the man was going through so much and yet he still tried to be so strong for everyone. She shook her head he was going to run himself into the ground with exhaustion and there would be no one there to truly stop it from happening either. "No I dont need eanything else. Just," she paused and put the black dagger in his hand wrapping his fingers around it. "Give this to Cole when you see him. With all that is going on here I doubt that i will stay long enough to see him again. But I'm sure you have to return to your duties as a royal? Cant have to many important missing people all at once or the entire kingdom would go up in a paniced frenzy." She let out a small laugh and stood up along with moros and stretched her limbs. She reached her hand out with a smile. "though I would like my belt back. Granted it looks good on you I dont think that it goes with your outfit. "She stated with a laugh.

Moros looked at the two and was curious as to why Kazira was leaving. They had plenty of time before they had to move on. At least he thought so. They would have time to go and visit with the man, Cole. But he didnt queston it but grabbed her pack and moved it towards the door and sat there watching.

"By the way Prince Arthur. When you see Cole tell him lord Astras sends his deepest regards and that he regrets that he could not live to meet him again." Kazira stated somewhat as an after thought. She had been holding onto that message for quite sometime. She Idly wondered if Cole ever told his prince that she took on the lords name or that he tachnically adopted her when she was younger. It was an odd thing to think of but she doubted she would see the man again so what harm was there in giving him that message? It wasnt like she was really a noble or anything. (Boy was she really misinformed.)

[Arthur Pendragon]

Arthur looked at the dagger as she placed it in his hands. She was acting very differently now. And it was strange, but certainly in a good way. Contrary to popular belief, Arthur did not like arguing with people. He did enjoying bullying certain ones, but to have to state things that should be obvious, thus causing frustration and annoyance was not his favorite pass time. In the beginning, they had been like that but now. . . she seemed entirely different. More respectful and perhaps sympathetic after hearing the state of Camelot and all the destruction it had suffered the past while.

Holding the dagger, he gave a bit of a nod, acknowledging that he would give it to him. Arthur felt that the kingdom was already in a panicked frenzy but he was optimistic that through hard work, and organization they would be able to reconstruct themselves, and it would be as if a dragon had not attacked their city. Of course, they would also have to find Morgana if everyones mind was to be at ease . . . but he could only do one thing at a time. "You are welcome to stay for however long you like. So long as you try to avoid any more arguments with vendors and merchants," he said only half kidding, as he recalled the initial reason she had been brought to his attention.

The belt! He had almost forgotten. He began to slowly hand it back to her, still not trusting her completely as he sudden politeness could have been some sort of farce or manipulation tool. Never the less, he would keep his guard up. Mr Astras. Arthur recognized the name and knew how highly Cole thought of him . . . and her. The fellow knight was a dear friend, and he had already expressed how much he tried searching for Kazira. How could he now not give his friend the opportunity to see her after so long and after he had confessed to him that he was in love with? "Would you like to come with me so that you can see Sir Cole?" Arthur seriously hoped he would not regret this.

[ Nice new banner! Looks awesome!]

[†Kazira Astras†]

Kazira blinked. He would really allow her to stay as long as she didnt start anymore fights with the vedors or merchants?? That was unusual to say the least. She smiledher thanks to him and nodded. She watched as he, almost hesitantly, gave her back her belt. She knew he wasnt sure what she would do when she got her belt back but she wasnt going to attack him or anything she really wanted her belt. "What is it with people taking my things?" She thought absently. She gently took it and placed it back around her waist happy at its all to familiar weight back where it was supposed to be. "Dont worry. despite popular belief i do kow how to hold my tongue to not get in trouble." she stated with mirth. She mentally added, most of the time because it was true she generally did know how to hold her tongue but there were a few times... like today. that she just let it slip due to strenuous circumstances.

She had to catch herself from letting her draw drop in suprize. He would really take her to meet Cole? Yes she was excited to see her old friend but she was leary she didnt want to walk into a trap and be killed on the spot or thrown in the dungeon for some unknown reason. "Yes I would like that." she stated with a smile not all to sure why she even agreed to it.

[haha thanks! I literally just did it cause i was bored ^~]

[Arthur Pendragon]

"Well thats certainly a relief to hear then," he stated as she assured that she knew how to keep the peace. He began to head to the door wondering when, how soon she would want to see Cole. Considering she was a traveler he was guessing that the sooner she saw him the better before she left. "Do you want to go right now, or do you need some time to rest?" She had after fainted and perhaps still could be weak from the event.

"If you want to go now, I can give you a few minutes to freshen up, and meet you in the courtyard of the castle." The courtyard was not out of bounds for commoners, but anything beyond that was. Of course for security reasons, they could not just let anyone waltz through the caste doors, and this was no exception. He would get Cole to come meet her inside of leading her through his castle. With the enemies Camelot was accumulating, and the fact that he still did not know this woman all too well, he was not going to take any chances.

[Cool! Ohh and a new icon too! Your switching it up ]

[†Kazira Astras†]

She smiled at him and motioned for him to exit the room. She gave Moros a quick look and he took out a small pouch. The pouch contained five gold coins, Moros took the pouch over to the small bedside table and placed it on the top and turned around and walked back over to Kazira. She gave him a loving pat on the head. "I dont need to freshen up and I think that I've rested enough to last me several months. But everything is taken care of now." She stated. She walked to the door and opened it up and moved to the side. Kazira gave Arthur a teasing small smile. "Unless you would like me to wait so that you could prepare everyone?" She was only kidding and the one of her voice said as much.

She knew the reasons he had said the courtyard and she honestly didnt mind or care for that matter. To her once you've seen one castle you've seen them all. They all had the basic layout. She studied those for when she was hired to do a job be it an assassination or steal something though if it was a magical item she was more cautious. But remembering layouts was one thing that she did. She did it also so she wouldnt get lost. She really had a bad sense of direction.

She was really excited to see her friend. She wondered how much he had changed or if he did at all. "If you'd like i could meet you there later? That way you can get away from me. I'm sure that I've annoyed enough to last you several lifetimes within the time you've spent with me." She looked down the hallway and watched the shadows change and move with the little light that was provided.

[Arthur Pendragon]

Before Arthur exited the room, he noticed her leave the money. "Its taken care of," he said in a casual voice as he walked through the door. Even if she had initially been rude -- though she was being more respectful now -- she had been unwell, and she was in Camelot, a kingdom ruled by his family. He could not have let her just lie there on the ground, and since he was uncertain as to whether she had the money, he figured he may as well take care of it. A few coins for him was not a big deal, but to someone of a lower class, it could take months for them to possess such small wealth.

Hearing her answer made Arthur pause for a moment, thinking about what was best. Had he been annoyed with her? In the beginning, yes. A great deal with her disregard for his status and her very opinionated statements. But now, she was seeming to be less and less rude. Not to mention the fact that if what she said was true, then Cole cared for her and as Cole was a dear friend of Arthur's, for that reason alone he would be a bit more -- slightly more -- willing to let some things she said go. And if he remembered correctly, she was a noblewoman through being adopted by Lord Astras.

"Meet us there," he decided. "I will tell Cole and we will meet you out front as you won't get far past the guards on your own." Nor did he want her to cause a ruckus by trying. He glanced at Moros and then back at her. "Bring your companion if you like," he added. So long as the canine behaved and did not bark or bite any of the guards. He seemed rather mellow, as he had not shown any great hostility towards Arthur.
