Not Altogether Illegal [Arabis]

[Richard de Calys]

Richard de Calys was a curious man by nature. It was one of those traits that managed to be both a strength and a weakness at the same time. Luckily for him, it was usually a strength, especially in his line of work. At the moment, however, it was definitely a weakness. He probably should have left about half an hour ago but this was the first time he'd been in Archelandi so his curiousity was well and truly piqued. It was a rather nice place after all, but quite far away from places like Camelot and Gwent where he usually seemed to find himself. It was therefore unlikely that he'd be around here any time soon, so it would be a crime to just leave immediately without having a proper look around.

This part of the castle (he would have more specific than "this" but he wasn't entirely sure where he was) was rather quiet, which, if he'd been in a better, less curious mood he'd have found quite suspicious. He usually kept his wits about him, but for some reason he found himself quite as ease. Maybe it was because this was the first time in quite a long time he wasn't actually doing anything illegal. Sneaking about a castle was probably going to be frowned upon by its owners, but at least he wasn't breaking any laws. It was actually quite a refreshing feeling, but certainly not strong enough to keep him on the straight and narrow. No, he liked the thrill of law-breaking far too much, besides, if he stopped doing anything illegal he'd soon find himself without work.

Ho hum. He was going to enjoy the feeling while it lasted and see if there was anything worth his interest in the castle. Just because he wasn't doing anything illegal right at that moment didn't mean he wasn't planning on doing just that in the very near future. Castles were, after all, rather good places for finding treasure. It was all a case of knowing where to look, and getting away with it of course. Fortunately, Richard de Calys was a professional.

The day, where dawn they was one from the most beautiful days of her life. They was the beginning of spring, and it could not bear such happiness. The fresh, spring air entered in her room, and filled atmosphere with the smell of the bloomed flowers. Arabis could not sleep all the previous night. Simply it waited for with impatience and this joy day or can also the next days. Despite that the time was splendid and was full from joy, she was also very upset.

The fact that the previous night she had received a letter from her lost cousin, made her very cheerful, other simultaneously and a lot upset. Her cousin had been lost years.when she was roughly 15 years old. It had enough years it sees him. Simply one day had goes a walk to the forest and simply never come back. The fames said, that kidnapped elfs, or he had enchanting from a witch, and had been disappearred together with her. Naturally all these fames the royal family did not believe. Thus and differently now that was to meet him her it would say with details what precisely became and where he disappeared all these years. Simply they hoped that one day he will turn back. And now it was the moment.

But she could not stay in the castle anymore, and she decided to go for a walk. And because she wanted to calm, she would go to a point, outside from the castle, in that it went always when it wanted it calms down. It was a separate point, because existed a pavilion with one big tree it stands from of it, and a supremacy small lake, in that lived certain swans. In this point she believed always that her wish became reality. Simply it took her cape, prepared her royal filly and started for the walk. After it had reached very near in the pavilion, decided to walk. They was not enough thinly that walked, and saw suddenly front of her an unknown man. “Mike, you are you?” she polite asked, full hope and agitation. It could not know if they were this Gentleman certain her cousin or unknown, because she had to see him, a lot of years.

A woman’s voice caught him off guard – which was rather irritating as nothing should be catching him off guard, even more so when that person was a woman. He should have been paying attention, especially as he wasn’t actually supposed to be here. Luckily, thinking on his feet was something he was rather good at. His quick mind had gotten him out of trouble more than enough times, this would be no exception. He turned around to see the owner of the voice – a rather young girl, well; this was going to be easy.

He frowned. Mike? This was an unexpected reaction. Shouldn’t she be more worried about the fact that there was a strange man hanging around? Instead she wanted to know if he was Mike? Which meant she didn’t know who this man was, otherwise she’d know Richard definitely wasn’t him. Well, he was nothing if not an opportunist. There could be something to be gained out of this and if there wasn’t he was no stranger to a speedy getaway. His expression of confusion turned into a smile. “And you are...?” There was no point continuing this charade if she wasn’t worth his while.

Arabis waited for full distress and looked at the young man in his eyes. When she saw the grin shaping in his person, she get more hope . And you you are... Curious. He was her lovely cousin and he was as her brother, as they had grown together. But of course he has to see her a lot of years, and she has changed a lot. All those beautiful moments! When she was child, was found herself to play chase in the castle with him. But all these was distant past and they were absent so much a lot. Although, all these could become true and come, others beautiful moments, if this man was her cousin.

Smiled and answered, "I am Arabis, your cousin. You don't remember me?" Her eyes was looking deeply in his and was trying to see the truth. She wanted to hear a yes. Also she wanted they go in the castle to show him all the parts and their changes, and then to become a big feast for him. But her doubt filled her brain. He had suffered amnesia? Oh My God! She approached him calmly, because she was afraid that if he had amnesia he was going to afraid of her and maybe run away. She said full of hope, “You do not remember that together were playing in the gardens of castle?” She prayed from he does not have amnesia, and to be all splendid and then to celebrate all the whole day!
