Carelia sighed at Jasper’s lack of interest in the party, but she hadn’t really expected him to be that excited to begin with. “Someday I’ll find a way to get you to go to a party,” she promised. “And I’ll make you dance with me and then I’ll allow you to hate them as much as you want, but until you’ve been to a real one at a castle, you don’t know what you’re missing,” she insisted, clearly not understanding it was more than the ball that Jasper had a problem with. She decided it wouldn’t be worth talking about the ball with him anymore, so she changed the subject to something more to his liking. “How has the archery been coming?” she asked, knowing he’d been practicing a lot. There were times when she wished she weren’t a noble so she could practice something like archery, but she knew her mother would never allow it. She also doubted she’d be any good anyway because she was not built to be an athletic girl.
Vivian looked up upon hearing Ace’s voice. “It’s good to see you up and around again,” she joked since the last time she’d seen him had been while he was sound asleep after the party. At that point, she noticed the bag he had slung over his shoulder. “Off to another temple?” she asked, walking over to him. “Is that really a good idea seeing as you're obviously sick? You could get worse, maybe bad enough to become life threatening.” This was obviously worse-case-scenario, but she couldn’t help saying it. “What would poor Princess Ariella do if that happened?” Everyone knew the two were quite close, and she was sure she wasn’t the only one who wondered exactly how close. “Though, perhaps if you brought along someone who could take care of you it wouldn’t be as risky,” she suggested, mostly kidding but she wanted to see how he would respond. At the same time she reached up and brushed her fingers through his hair to make it lie more or less flat. “I happen to be excellent at that sort of thing,” she continued, still messing with his hair to make it swoop to the side like he sometimes wore it. Once it was to her satisfaction she dropped her hands and waited for his response.
Ariella followed after him, missing the hint that he’d rather not continue the conversation. “Amusing for you,” she groaned, facepalming and then shaking her head. “It is entirely embarrassing for me, not to mention my brother.” As a matter of fact, she hadn’t seen Drezdon since the previous night, so she had no idea how he felt about the whole thing. “He wasn’t... mad, was he?” she asked, a little bit afraid for the answer. Drezdon took everything so seriously, it was unlikely he’d overlook her little mishap. “I am glad I got you to dance though, even if it was forced,” she said with a laugh. “Maybe someday I’ll be able to get you to do it again,” she teased, but had no real intention to follow through with that.
(Ok so those are not my best, but I tried. I may not be on tomorrow a ton during the day, but I should be in the evening. See ya later!)

(Oh, well goodnight now, and okay works out cause I'm hanging with my mom, and maybe some friends tomorrow xD)
(Sorry for my late response if you wanted to talk after I post the goodnight I made dinner despite it's being 1, and yea xD)
"As much as the thought of dancing with you entices me I think that'll never happen." Jasper commented, and than smiled at the mention of his archery. "I shot a apple from a thirty foot tree." Jasper laughed he wasn't a novice that was for sure in fact many say if he just got over his hatred for the king he could lead a battalion of archers for Vulci. He still hated calling it that, in fact he hated everything politics, since Yuza conquered. In fact he was rumored to being building up a army to take the castle, though there was no proof, and if you asked Jasper he'd quickly change the subject, or say that he wasn't. "I've gotten quite amazing at it. Pa still doesn't take pride in my skill, but I'm sure he'll change his mind next time those bandits come back since we all know that King of ours is more a pretty boy than a leader." He sighed rubbing the back of his head. This why the rumors appeared because of him saying stuff like that. Though even if they were true, and I'm not saying they aren't, but if they were he wouldn't really wanna be the king anyways despite the town wanting him to be the Lord of the city of Endo which used to be Yolse City. Though leadership was something he hated so he didn't plan on going for it.
Ace looked at her nodding a yes to her question, and than looking at her with a raised eyebrow when she fixed his hair though he voiced no protest, and simply thought about her question for a bit. Thinking for a moment he debated on how dangerous his current adventure would be, but to be fair this was the closest, and easiest temple since he wanted to save that for last. "My death is no big deal, someone else will simply find my work, and finish it." He responded deciding to talk a bit before responding. Ace wasn't really scared of death, but he wasn't seeking it out as in people needed to worry he simply gave zero crap about the thought if it happens it happens. "Hm, well this temple is only a days ride out, and another day back so it's not one of the more dangerous ones." He informed now getting to the answer on company. ".... I guess having a guardian angel watching over me isn't too bad.... If you wish I'd be happy to have you come along." He decided to answer with.
Damien kept walking for a bit before he obtained two horses assuming Ariella would keep him company for a while if not than she could simply decline the horse. "He didn't seem mad at all, I kept you out of doing something to anger the king." He informed nodding as he thought back. "If anyone he'd be mad at the guy who kissed his sister." He laughed as he rubbed his chin. "Unless you drug me milady you will never see me on the dance floor again." He swore with a dead serious face. Dancing was something he loathed especially if he was dancing with a princess as most people seemed to watch them like hawks. "Anyways milady if you care to join me into town I'll buy you some jewelry." He offered her wanting to stop the subject of him dancing.

“That’s amazing!” Carelia said with a huge smile. “What are you doing now?” she asked. “Do you have some time to show me some of it?” As much as she liked spending time with Jasper, Carelia didn’t get to see him nearly as much as she would have liked, so she rarely got to see him practice or anything like that. Carelia’s mother wasn’t terribly fond of Jasper simply based on the fact that his family was not one of status. She’d actually only met Jasper once when Carelia had brought him to their house. After he left, her mother had told Carelia she wasn’t allowed to bring him there ever again. Her father, on the other hand, liked Jasper quite a bit. He wasn’t thrilled about Yolse being taken over by Yuza either, and though he had found no reason to dislike the new king, he would be ready to support Jasper should any of the rumours about the boy prove to be true.
Vivian was a little bit surprised by his acceptance. “Well then I shall prepare immediately so as not to keep you waiting,” she told him and then headed into the castle. She quickly threw some clothes in a bag along with some coins and then went back out to meet Ace. Part of the reason she had even suggested he taker her along was because she’d always been curious about the temples. Her father hadn’t given the gods much thought, but her mother had been very serious about it. Vivian herself had never felt strongly connected to them, especially now that she had grown up. Her horse was still saddled and ready to go since she had only just arrived, so she re-mounted the grey stallion and rejoined Ace. “Lead the way, my fierce mage,” she said with a tiny bit of sarcasm, unable to help the slight gibe at the fact that he was sick.
Ariella laughed. “I really don’t think Drezdon cares what I do as long as it doesn’t make him look bad,” she said with a shrug. “Besides, even if he had a problem with it, I was the one who told you to do it and I was perfectly fine with it.” She then took the second horse’s reigns and mounted. She was thankful for a moment that she was so tall otherwise mounting the horse in a dress like she wore would have probably required help. It still wasn’t the most graceful thing she’d done all day. “I’d love to go to town with you,” she told him, just in case he hadn’t figured that out when she’d mounted the horse. “Of course, you know you’ll have to tell me who you’re buying jewelry for,” she teased him with a grin.
(Sorry, my replies may be kind of short for the next several days until Wednesday or so. I've got a lot going on between now and then.)

(>.> <.< I just typed a long reply, and my computer restarted so I lost it >.> Sorry if this is small. xD)
"Why of course milady, I'd love to show you my skills." Jasper responded if there was one thing he loved doing it was showing people that he could shoot better than most. Giving her a motion to follow he lead her to one of his spots were he kept bows, and arrows for just in case the bandits return. Upon reaching a dense forest he moved over to a small bush that housed one of the bows. Pulling it out along with two arrows. "Now let me find a har-" He began, but stopped when the sound of a bird could be overheard from above them. Quickly nocking the arrow into place he aimed high, and shot without a second thought causing the arrow to fly into the air passed the bird without hitting it which looked like he missed, but than the arrow came back down, hit the bird, and caused it to land near by were the two stood at the moment. Jasper was known for his fancy little pretend to miss thing since it was quite hard to pull of. "Now you know why they call me Hawk Eyed Jasper." He laughed.
Ace had been sitting on his horse waiting for her, his horse wasn't that fancy looking mainly because Ace found no need in having one of these beast when soon he would be one of the few, if not the only mage to claim a dragon as his stead. Even the two twins told him they never would ride one of them, but Ace was determined since he was raised pretty much with the King of Dragons for most of his childhood. That, and Brion exiled the beasts, and so they would be wild now, meaning Ace could get one without having to steal from Vulci which was good. Upon seeing Vivian return, and once she was mounted he began riding forward coughing a bit from his sickness, but other than that he seemed fine. "I should warn you, this temple.... Well they worship.... or well I guess I was a follower so.... We believe in the god of fire Infegro." He informed this was a infamous religion were the followers believed in one god aka the god of fire, and they were infamous for burning people alive, instead of fast deaths. "Though your with me so you should be fine." He added quickly.
Damien kicked his steed to make it go forward, and looked at the princess. "Well I'm buying jewelry for you." He answered simply to the tease. He didn't really have a girlfriend, or family to buy it for so he found that statement a bit odd though he voiced nothing as he looked forward. "I don't see why you Hyde born love your fancy garbage." He added with a laugh as he lead the way to the city. "The only thing I wear is this simple necklace, and that's only so I don't look odd in front of the others." He informed he never got jewelry most likely because Elsoi didn't use it, not even for marriage they had other ways of doing that.
(That's fine~ If you wanna take a break til than feel free ^-^ I don't wanna force you to rp if your busy~)

(No worries, it's still longer than mine xD)
(Such physics. Much calculations. Wow. xD I’m sorry, I’m a physics nerd, I couldn’t help myself.)
Carelia frowned when he missed the bird on the way up and looked back at Jasper only to jump a moment later when the bird hit the ground beside her with an arrow sticking in it. “That’s amazing!” she exclaimed with a smile, though she couldn’t help feeling a little bit bad for the bird. “You should go ask for an audience with King Brion!” she suggested. “If you wanted I could go talk to him and get him to see you. He likes me, so he’d probably listen to m. Then you could ask to join his royal archers!” Of course, she said all this forgetting that Jasper had no love for their new king, much unlike Carelia who was clearly still smitten by him.
“Do they tend to burn non-believers?” Vivian asked. “I’d rather not be burned alive, so if so I’ll be sure to act the part,” she said, mostly joking about the acting bit. If she were going to die, fire didn’t seem like that bad of an option to her, despite the slowness of it. It would certainly be more interesting than having her throat slit or being taken by sickness or simply growing old. “So I assume all this temple-visiting has something to do with the half-completed sword I saw the day we met, is that correct?” She also guessed there was some sort of magic involved or else there would likely be more people trying to make a sword like the one Ace was working on.
“Me? You don’t need to buy jewelry for me,” Ariella insisted. “Honestly, I know I like jewelry and such, but I get so much of it from men who wish to court me.” That gave her a thought and she grinned. “Ohhhh I see, you’re trying to court me and so you’re buying jewelry to try to impress me!” She was totally kidding, of course, she just thought it was fun to mess with Damien –she didn’t need to be drunk to do that. “Well, there’s no need for that,” she informed him, still going on with her joke. “You’ve already caught my attention. All you’d have to do is ask!” She expected nothing but a slightly annoyed or smart-ass answer from Damien, but still she looked at him expectantly to make it seem like she expected him to pour out his feelings right there.
(Nah, I don't feel forced, I just wanted to let you know that I may not be all that active tomorrow and Tuesday. I probably won't be here at all on Wednesday except for maybe very late because that's the crazy day. After that I'm more or less done until finals though, so woo!)

Jasper looked at her raising an eyebrow at that statement. "I'd much rather shoot a arrow into that craven king's neck." He informed coldly still clearly blaming Brion's period of disappearance for the bandit attack on the city. "I'd much rather never touch a bow again than work for him." He added putting his bow back, and walking back to the town his mood clearly went down at the mention of Brion. "I don't get why you like him. Your father sure doesn't, in fact most of the villagers don't either. The biggest bloody thing he's done so far is throw a party." He spat angrily mentioning how the king was amazing was a good way to turn even the happiest of Jasper's into the most pissed.
Ace simply looked forward for a bit as he remembered his days visiting this temple as a follower back when he was a young boy named Alexander. "Correction milady ninety percent done sword." He informed as he took out a blade that in fact looked 100% complete it even was shiny, and looked like a blade for a king. "I just need the fire god's fire." He added this was a easy trip there, but to him this would be the hardest part of his little adventure to make this sword. He would have to summon a god this was also why no other mage has made this blade because you needed to be a follower of the fire god. "I just gotta work with some priest, and summon the god himself." He yawned like it was no big deal.
Damien listened to her for a bit, and at first wasn't going to respond to her little joke, but that's when he remembered he had a ring he had taken from a body he fond on the trip back that he meant to sell. Taking it out he turned to the princess. "Alright, Princess Ariella (forgot last name), will you do the honors of being my wife?" He asked using his most convincing voice, though just by knowing Damien you knew he was joking as he would have done his Elosi way of asking if he truly meant it.
(Oh okay, once again sorry for short post tired, and trying to catch up on some anime~)

(Sorry it took so long for me to reply and that they're not even very good. I just needed to do something that wasn't calculus but my brain was still mush Dx)
“Oh Jasper, don’t be like that,” Carelia whined, following after him. “My father just hasn’t gotten to know the king yet and neither have you. He’s really quite nice and I think he’ll do some good things for the new kingdom. He’s only a year younger than you, give him a chance.” She could see, however, that her argument was not changing Jasper’s mind so with a sigh she just stopped trying to convince him and walked beside him in silence.
Carelia suddenly had the feeling that they weren’t alone in the forest. She glanced around and saw no one, but as soon as she opened her mouth to say something to Jasper about it, several men –some of the bandits Jasper had spoken of– rushed toward them out of the trees. Carelia squeaked in surprise and tried to run, but tripped on a root and was soon snatched up by one of the bandits. The man ran off, leaving the others to try to distract and hold off Jasper.
“Let me go!” Carelia screeched and began kicking and punching at the man who carried her.
“I’m afraid I can’t do that,” the man responded and kept running.
(So I figure Jasper can’t quite get to Carelia in time and he’s got a rescue mission on his hands, he manages to save her and that’s the end of it, or an idea you’ve got. It’s up to you!)
Vivian looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “So you’re just going to summon a god like it’s no big deal,” she repeated and then looked back to the road. “Maybe you’re braver than I give you credit for,” she mused. Actually she hadn’t given that sort of thing much thought, but she tended to say things like that that made her seem kind of mean. It made it easier for her to get less attached to people, and she assumed it made people like her less too. She’d never told anyone why she never wanted to get close to them, it was just better that way.
Ariella (Not sure I ever gave last name) took the ring and put it on with an intentionally overly-excited smile. “Oh Damien, you’ve just made me the happiest woman alive!” she told him, though it was obvious she knew he was joking and was just going along with it. She laughed, took off the ring and handed it back to him. “I’m sorry, I’ll try to stop making such ridiculous jokes,” she told him. Fortunately Damien was good-humored enough to put up with and even play along with her jokes, but she imagined that he didn’t find them that amusing.
