IC~ "She- You can't talk anymore, can you?" I asked Emilia, sadly. "And you came here, to get away from the ones who wanted you dead. Goodness. You know, I've missed talking to you so much Em. You too Break. He won't admit it, but Samson misses your company. He's become so cold since you left. Well, colder. I've started holding some classes, teaching the young ones. You know, like we talked about doing? They seem to like it, though their parents aren't so keen on me doing it. Still, Sam being so high up, they don't say anything. To my face at least." Chuckling slightly, in an embarrassed kind of way, I turn to Break again. "Enough about me though. The Lights don't really change much. What about you though? I thought you... well, to be frank, dead."

IC~ "Well." Awkwardly, though less so then originally, I turned my gaze to Dimitri, before raising an eyebrow. "So. Piano lessons, huh? Is that the only reason you come half way across the Kingdom to get here?"

OOC~ What should happen with the trees? Shall they part for Marianna an Lyra? Or do they not? And if they do, what's on the other side of them?

IC~ "I won't tell. I not into gossip." I told her quietly. "But I understand if you don't trust me yet. Or want to tell me. I want to know, but I won't push."

IC~ "His name was Jonathan, wasn't it?" I asked, eyes softening as I wrapped my arms tighter around myself. "Well, Technically I'm not considered a higher up, so they wouldn't tell me anything. Not even Samson." Watching her closely, I frowned slightly, gazing straight at her. "But, I know when he feels uncomfortable about something. And he hates lying. So I'd say, you're right. Your brother didn't die. I don't know what happened exactly. I wasn't there that day, thanks to food poisoning. My own cooking, I might add. But if he didn't return, and he didn't die, that leaves two things that could've happened. One, he could have abandoned the Lights. He could've betrayed them, and been banished."

IC~ "Exactly. That was number two. The more likely one, most certainly. I haven't seen him on the battlefield, so obviously they haven't managed to get him fighting for them yet. Curious though. Why would they want to kidnap a boy like Jonathan? Sadly enough, he has no trading worth, as we have all seen. So they must want to train him up, force him to fight against us. But how would they manage to be certain he would fight for them, and not turn sides? If they managed to frighten him into it, it's possible, but still unlikely. Since he was a boy, not even trained yet, he would know little of the Lights strategies or main secrets, so it would seem unlikely they have him for intelligence." Pausing, I frowned thoughtfully. Geez, at this rate, I'd get frown wrinkles before I ever got old. "We must be missing something. Just one detail can often change an entire outlook."

IC~ "Yes, surely that's it!" My brain working overtime, I got a sudden thought. "It must be his demon kind. Say, if you came across a young boy, barely trained, under the most powerful demon, then you would be crazy to let him remain on your enemy's side, wouldn't you? So you'd take him in, train him as your own so he'd be on your side. And we all know that the most powerful demon is-"

IC~ "Exactly." I replied to Break, before nodding in agreement to his answer to Dimitri. "So the question is - what are we going to do about it?"

IC~ "Not tonight." I said suddenly, a small fact coming to me out of the blue. "It's All Hallow's Eve. Not safe for anyone, except possibly the Gehanna demons themselves. We have to stay here, no matter what. Wait till morning."

OOC~ I'm waiting for Spudbob, because I'm not sure what he wants done for the trees. It's almost like the maze plot's paused until he comes back.

IC~ The horse part of me getting nervous at the howls and snarls outside, I tried to keep calm, trying to think of something to distract myself. "So... How about I hear you play, Break? Or maybe you Dimitri?"

IC~ Smiling softly, I closed my eyes as they began to play, bringing my hands to my heart after a few lines from Dimitri's singing. Break had always been a beautiful pianist, and obviously Dimitri was an excellent pupil. And a beautiful singer.

IC~ A smile on her lips, Seriyana slowly opened her eyes. "Beautiful." she answered, voice cracking slightly. "Simply, beautiful." Which was true. It was.
As she had listened to them play, memories had played in her mind, memories long buried. It made her feel fragile inside, as if anyone could just touch her and she would fall apart. Wishing she had a canvas or piece of parchment, she also thought of the poems she could write, or the paintings she could draw with inspiration like this. And Samson. Since they'd joined the war, he'd changed. And with everything going on in her head, it was kind of hard to grab hold of any one thing.

OOC~ jeez... That is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard....

IC~ "I think I'll leave the beautiful music to you. Music's not really my strong point." she grinned, waving a hand about. "Anything I 'play'," as she said this she brought two fingers on each hand up to emphasise this point, "Ends up sounding like a dying animal. Beside, I'm not sure I could actually fit in that nook. I'm not exactly small."

OOC~ So beautiful... *.*
Spud, what should we do for the maze plot?
