Thread: The Prince & the Raven [shyone & StarMech]

Ask she spoke to him Charles would slowly adjust himself in her lap, using her strong body to pull himself up until instead of laying his head in her lap the male was instead straddling it. With his arms loosely hanging onto Sylphis neck the young man knew that she would hold him close this way. Really in this moment the prince just wanted to feel protected and safe, but at the same time his current choice of position wasnt new. The male had always enjoyed cuddling up to his tutor as close as he could, they have even had entire lessons simply resting together like this, so it was nothing new. Leaning back some so he could look her in the eye the young man was at least glad that she could tell him somewhat where his personal mage-knights had gone, I am sure that they made it Sylphi. After all you were the one who taught them everything they know, and then some. Those four gals were tougher than any knight I knew, well except yourself of course, but my point still stands that they are probably alive. Even if my siblings didnt make it, then I know those guys would be looking for us right now. So it will be up to us to try and find them, as well as any of my other loyal retainers. They should be able to help us once we have brought them back together even if they are scattered for the moment. Looking at the other curiously as she drifted off in her explanation about what had happened, and how they had gotten here. To be honest Charles didnt mind if his tutor had used some spell that left the details foggy to her as well, and so with a soft shrug the young man playfully nuzzled his head under her chin and said, Dont worry about it too much, as long as you were able to get use safely out of there I trust you did the right thing. At least now we have a chance to figure out where we are and then plan our revenge on our enemies. He was hoping that Sylphi would use one of her healing spells on him while he talked, or at least something to help him gain his strength again. That would allow him to sit up and eat a proper meal before trying to see if they could both set out of this place. It was about that moment that a small female voice was heard yelling from the mouth of the cave, Master Master are you in this one? Charles barely had time to answer the call of a voice he recognized even more than he would Sylphis suddenly a young woman whose looks did not fit her old age came running into the cave. Oh Charles there you and Mistress Sylphi are!!! I am so glad I found you two, stupid, stupid, me for not being able to keep up with the pair of you after that flash of light. I am so sorry I failed Over and over the young woman kept bowing in a comical manner, as her bushy tail wagged behind her and her ears cowered down on her head. The young fox spirit Nok-Nok was one of Charles prizes of conquest from the far Eastern nations, which showed by the creatures garbs. The only reason she could even appear to the prince though had to do with one of the magical abilities he excelled in. That being the summoning and control of spirits or familiars, and it had been Nok-Noks appearance when he was young that had prompted Sylphi to be hired by the queen to tutor her son well that and an accident with some fire and lighting bolt. The creature looked distressed as it stared at Sylphi with tears in its eyes, overreacting as usual, Did I do something wrong Mistress Sylphi?
