Amara shook her head. "It doesnt give him a reason to be rude to you or anyone else. If he keeps it up I will have strong talking to him. He wont get away with treating you or Lorelei like this. Especially when neither of you have done anything wrong." She placed her hand on his cheek as she looked him in the eyes. "I wont let him keep this up." She lowered her hand as he asked her where Aro's room was and motioned for him to follow, grabbing his hand. "We better hurry. I dont know what he will do to her when he realizes he wasnt eaxtly told the truth" she said as she started to hurry down the hall, leading Sebastion as quickly as she could to where her brother's room would be. She stopped when she reached his room and placed her ear to the door, not wanting to barge in unless it was needed. ~~~ Aro clenched his fist as he slammed it onto his desk, causing a rather large crack to form. "Dont lie to me! My father wouldnt give a servant a dress, so where did you get it?!" He kept his eyes locked on Lorelei, his eyes cold as he looked ready to grab her by the throat. "You dont know what happens when people lie to me do you" he asked as he stood over her, being a good four or five inches taller at least. He wasnt sure what tugged at him to stop him from hurting her, and this was a first. "Get out" he said coldly. "Now." He turned away from her before he slammed his fist into a wall, puncturing a hold into it before he went into another section if his room, slamming the door. ~~~ Amara had reached the door in time to hear the slamming of the door and quickly opened up the door to Aro's room, looking around before she spotted Lorelei. "Are you alright" she asked, obvious worry in her voice for the other female. |

Seb smiled slightly at Amara, his hand grabbing hers and bringing it up to his lips. He gently pressed a kiss to the top of her hand, having him show how grateful he is. He is glad that she is understanding because he isn't really sure he could be with someone who isn't. She is caring and clearly knows what is right from wrong, which makes her a bit more attractive and something he has been looking for. "Even if it does continue, I don't mind considering that you care for me and I care for you." He followed after her towards Aro's room. "I mean, she probably didn't lie either, so her not lying might be the case too." He pointed out as he quickly hurried after her. "She better be okay." He mumbled under his breath as he followed closely behind her. He almost ran into her when she stopped, but put two hands up against the door to prevent him from doing so. "Why are we stopped?" ~~~~~~~~ Lorelei didn't even flinch when his hand slammed onto the desk next to her. She glanced down slightly and saw the crack in the desk but didn't say a word. Her jaw was locked, whether it was from anger or disappointment, no one would truly know since she doesn't talk about her feelings. Talking about and showing emotions only dig deeper holes and sometimes makes people use them against the other. Besides, emotions are a weakness and a weakness is something she doesn't need. A small laugh left her lips. He clearly isn't the brightest bulb in the shed, is he? She doesn't understand how he didn't put two and two together to see that she isn't a servant to begin with and never was. Those clothes just fit her and are something she likes wearing. "Oh, Aro, I ain't no servant. Far from one, really, even if I do cook and do things myself rather than let the servants do them for me." She said, her eyes daring him to try and do something to hurt her. "I didn't exactly lie to you. You didn't really ask who I was and what title I held." She said coolly, her eyes narrowed. She didn't even flinch when he ended up standing up even taller over her with her sitting on the desk. "No." She growled, showing she isn't going to be leaving the room. It clearly did nothing when he slammed his fist into the wall. She rolled her eyes at her, not understanding why men always have to go towards violence when something like this happens or they don't like something that happens. "Typical." She grumbled under her breath after he slammed the door to another door closed. Her head turned towards the door, seeing both Seb and Amara. Great, more people she has to deal with. She pushed herself off of the desk but didn't quite move yet. "I'm just fine. Nothing I can't handle." She said, her gaze flickering to Seb. "Leave. I have something that I need to fix." "Lor." Seb warned, not wanting to leave her alone with Aro after hearing the crashing and raised voices before they entered. "You know I won't be able to hold back if he lays a hand on you." He said, showing just how protective he can be over someone he is close with. "I'll be fine. This needs to be fixed. Sure, might not be the best idea, but he needs to understand that not everyone is out to get him." She glanced towards the door Aro went through. "He needs to know that someone isn't going to like, let e not love him because of his scars." A ghost of a smile went across his lips for the slightest moment. "He needs to understand that he isn't alone because I know exactly how he feels." Seb let out a sigh before turning to Amara and taking her hand. "She has this, don't worry. I wouldn't let her do something if she didn't feel comfortable doing so." He said before looking at Lor one last time. "My statement still stands about him laying a hand on you. Let's go, love." He said as he gently tugged on Amara's hand and led her out of the room. Lor went over to the door, softly knocking on the door. "Can we talk about this, please?" |

Amara looked at Sebastian, worry filling her eyes. "I dont know if she should" she said as she followed him out of the room. "When he gets like this, it's better to let him cool off." Her eyes looked over to the desk as she saw a sketch, but was too far to see what it was clearly, but it wasnt the dragon he normally drew, that was, strange, but a step in a different direction. She looked at Sebastian as she looked back at Lorelei. "Be careful" she said as she closed the door behind them. The look of worry didnt leave her face as she didnt hear anything from her brother. ~~~ Aro didnt respond as he lit a small candle, looking in a mirror he had shattered months ago. The scars over his face flickered in the candlelight as he grumbled to himself, throwing a knife at the door, it landing in it with a thud. It barely cracked to the other side of the door, but it was clear what he threw at the door. "I wont talk to anyone who wont be truthful" he sneered through the door. The prince slammed the candle at what was left of the mirror, causing the flame to go out, and the rest of the mirror to collapse off the wall, shattering more. He heard someone else walk into his room, a servant. "S-sir, I'm here for your laundry" she said, the servant looked at Lorelei, giving a polite bow to the other female. She heard Aro unlock the door, barely opening it before he threw out a rather heavy basket, hitting the servant and making her cry out with a startled pained cry as he slammed the door closed again. The servant pushed the basket off of her, trying to stand up. |

Seb glanced at Lorelei one last time before they left the room. He knew it wasn't really a good idea, but knowing his sister, he knows she can get through people eventually even if it takes a lot of work. He sighed, closing the door before walking away. He knows she will be okay as she is a tough cookie, especially after what happened to her. She changed in so many ways that for a while, he didn't really know who she was anymore. She hides behind a facade and has no idea what she is truly hiding behind it either. "I know, but you gotta understand she will actually be okay. She isn't like other women. She's different." He said as he glanced next to her. He put an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his side as they walked down the halls. "She doesn't take shit from others and she clearly doesn't let anger from others get to her." He pressed a kiss to her temple to try and ease her worries. "Now, how about we see the mountains?" ~~~~~~~~ Lor moved slightly away from the door when she heard a thud against it. She wasn't sure what it was, but she didn't want to know if it was something that could kill her. Regardless, that didn't make her remove herself from the room or let Aro be alone. Being alone in the state he is, is only going to make his mind keep reeling with questions and reasons. They will only make him want to think the unreasonable without hearing the complete and utter truth. He will only think of lies without knowing anything about her. She wanted to shoot back with a harsh remark but she bit her tongue from doing so. Having her do that is only going to make her get herself into a deeper hole. She took a deep breath before she could speak. "If you just let me talk and you ask me questions, I will answer truthfully. That is my word." She said softly, her hand resting against the door, hoping it will open. She will always be truthful and she never really lied in the first place. She glanced at the servant that came, causing her to step away from the door. She noticed that the servant is nervous, causing her to wonder what is going on. She watched as the door opened before the basket came out and hit the servant. She jumped slightly at the startled cry that came from the servant. She quickly went over to the woman, crouching down to her level. She smiled softly at the woman, helping her to her feet. She moved the basket away from the servant, out of her reach to prevent her from trying to take it away. "Don't worry about it. I'll take care of his laundry." She said before turning towards the door. Her eyes were narrowed before she pounded against the door harshly. "You open this door right this damn moment, Aro." She growled, her voice holding all seriousness. "So help if I have to break this door down, I most definitely will. You come say sorry to this servant or I will grab you by the ear and drag you out here like a mother about to beat their child's ass to apologize to this servant you hurt." She said, her fist pounding against the door right now. "Don't try to play games either or so help me, you don't want to see what can happen." She is clearly far from being a lady like a Princess should be but she doesn't give two shits. "Open the damn door." |

Amara leaned into Sebastian as she gave a small sigh. She looked up to him before she gave a small nod. "I just worry that they will end up hurting one another, and not mean to" she replied as she had a small smile about him wanting to see the mountains. "If your sure you want to leave them alone." Amara started to make her way towards a tower that lead up to the top of the castle. A railing allowed them to walk on the roof, looking to the mountains with the sun setting over them. The golden rays were still there, the air still warm from the day. ~~~ Aro didnt respond as he had heard the servant scream. *She knew better than to be there* he thought as he moved farther into the room that had a small area with sketches of his mother surrounded by words she used to say that he wrote down. His eyes started to dull out as the anger slowly faded from him. He refused to speak or make a sound as he sat by his sketches of her. He finally spoke. "I dont take orders from anyone. Especially those who dont tell me the truth" he said coldly, though his voice wasnt as cold as when he told her to leave. |

Seb knows how Lorelei is. She can tend to be a bit strong when it comes to things, especially when it is something she is determined to do or is passionate about. That is why so many men are put off by her personality, how she likes to wear men's clothes, how she wields a weapon, and how she actually talks back. There are, of course, many other things, but those are the main ones. She can handle herself quite easily without his help. If only their parents saw it that side of her, but knowing how they are and how they think a lady should be, he has to make sure that they don't see Lorelei who she truly is. That is why he always tells her that she needs to hide it from them. "I get what you are saying, I truly do. They are adults and need to figure things out on their own. We don't need to be holding their hands their whole lives to try and help them get through it." He explain as he kept his arm over her shoulders. He pressed another kiss to her temple as they walked down the hallway. "We'll see them tomorrow and then we can ask how it went. Or at least Lorelei since Aro doesn't come out of his room." He let her lead the way, considering he doesn't really know her kindgom, let alone really know the way around it. He carefully followed behind her, making sure she doesn't trip and drop to her death. He doesn't need a war with her kingdom because he didn't catch her when she fell. He stood next to her, his hands clasped together as he leaned against the railing and watched the sun set over the mountains. "Beautiful." He muttered, his eyes not moving away from the scenery. "Not as beautiful as you though." ~~~~~~~~ When Lor didn't hear a reply, she shook her head. He just has to be one of those difficult men, doesn't he? She pursed her lips, thinking of what she could do. She could bang on the door until he actually opens it and lets her in to talk, but she has a feeling that will only upset him even more. That is definitely something she doesn't want to do, especially with how violent he gets when angry. She doesn't understand why people have to be so violent when they get angry as it never resolves anything let alone has a good outcome. She could leave him and come back tomorrow or something, but she doesn't like how they left things. Sure, cooling off is the most logical thing, but she wants to talk about this now. Talking about it now can lead to understanding now instead of misunderstanding later on. Not really great logic but she doesn't care, especially since she feels like he isn't one who will always listen anyway. When he finally replied to her without so much harshness heard in it, a small ghost of a smile cross her lips. Regardless, him apologizing to the servant would be a step in the right direction rather than making them fear him even more. They probably do like rock, paper, scissors to see what unlucky soul has to come and do his laundry or drop a plate of food on his desk. No one should really be treated that way. Sure, they are royals, but her and Seb never take advantage of that and would only like to be treated as everyone's equal while others really don't think that way. "That's it. I'm coming in because this is going nowhere." She said as she twisted the handle, seeing as it actually turned. She thought he locked the door again, but apparently not. "I hope you are dressed because I don't need to see a naked man." She hesitated a moment after saying that, moments of her time being kidnapped, tortured, and other things flashing before her eyes for a few moments. She shook her head to clear the thoughts before pushing the door open. She saw him and went over to him, though she stayed a good few feet from him. She glanced at the pictures of a woman that he sketched. She could only describe them with two words. "Absolutely stunning." |

Amara looked at Sebastian as he spoke. "You arent wrong, but that wont keep me from worrying about him doing something stupid and both of them getting hurt" she said. She looked out over the mountains, hearing the bird cries in the distance. She gave a small smile. The golden rays made the sky look like it was ablaze. The ocean crashing against the shore to the other side echoed in the setting day. Amara couldnt help but blush when he mentioned it being beautiful, but adding not as beautiful as her. She leaned against the roof behind her as her eyes locked on the setting sun. "This is one of my favorite places to be" she said. "No father telling me what to do, servants leaving me alone." She looked at Sebastian. "Aro and I used to come up here as kids with my mother, and she would tell us stories about the rare Alicorns" she said pulling out the wooden figure she bought the day they met. ~~~~ Aro didnt budge from his spot as he heard Lorelei speaking. He didnt care about who she thought she was. All he knew was that he wanted to be alone. *It's better to be alone anyway* he thought coldly as he clenched his fist. He rolled his eyes at her comment about being dressed, stifling back a cold chuckle. *Pathetic* he thought. When she came him, he grabbed one of the knifes by his feet. "Give me one good reason I shouldnt throw this at you for trespassing into my room" he said coldly, not looking at her as he spoke. It wasnt hard to hear the chance of tone in his voice, no longer filled with anger and hatred, but sadness and loss. |

Seb listened to her speak about how this used to be her and Aro's favorite to be. He can understand how it would be one of their favorite places. It certainly has a nice charm as well as the quietness without anyone bothering them. He's has a place like that back at home too. Of course, people knew where it was but when he was ever there, that means they can't bother him. They never do, unless it is actually utterly important for them to do so. It was a garden filled with roses, yet, in the middle of it was a beautiful cherry blossom tree. A small little stream even ran through the garden as well. "That sounds amazing." He said as he looked over at her. She never talked about her mother, and he understands why she doesn't. She glanced at the wooden figure that she held in her hands. "It sounds like your mother was really important to you." He said as he turned towards her. He wished he had that type of relationship with his parents, but he sadly doesn't. He can only wish that and that's it. It's just a dream that will never happen. "I'm glad you had a caring mother and that she loved you guys. She knew that you guys loved her, even after she passed away." He brought her hands up to his lips and pressed his lips to them. "Anything else you would like to do before bed?" ~~~~~~~~ Lor glanced at him when she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. Her brow raised when he picked up one of the knives by his feet. Of course, the good old way of threatening someone out of their room. She should've guessed that he would pull something like this. It's funny, though, that he thinks that he can scare her with such a small blade. Hell, he wouldn't have scared her with a larger blade. She wonders if he truly would hurt her. He probably would, but that wouldn't stop her from leaving the room. In fact, it makes her want to stay in the room even more. He has hurt the servant with the basket, so he knows he can easily hurt her, yet, that doesn't stop her. She leaned towards him, her eyes slightly narrowed. "Be my guest and throw it at me. I welcome death with open arms. In fact, I rather be dead." She shrugged her shoulders as she looked away from him and the sketches on the wall. They really are stunning. She hopes that one day she can ask him to draw something for her, but then again, she has a feeling that might never happen. "Being dead would be easier for everyone, including you, apparently." She mumbled as she went over to his closet. She pulled out the simplest of clothes he had, which inlcuded black pants and a red long sleeve shirt. "I'm going to borrow these since I can't stand this dress any longer. Better turn around." She turned her back to him in case he actually glanced back at her. She easily slipped the dress off of her shoulders, having it drop to the floor and pool around her feet. A scar in the shape of an 'X' was on her back, having it go from shoulder to hip. She even had a scar wrap around her thigh as if it was done on purpose, yet it wasn't with how horrendous and unclean the cut is. She had scars on her arms too, yet they weren't as significant as the ones on her back and thigh. She grabbed the clothes she got from his closet and quickly slipped them on. Once she had them on, she couldn't help but let out a breath of relief. She no longer had those clothes on that made her feel like who she is supposed to be and no longer wore clothes that are skin tight. Wearing baggy clothes like this made her ten times more comfortable. "Much better." She said as she turned around to face him. "Yes, I know I am wearing these without permission, but you gotta understand that the dress is not my thing." She said as she looked at him. "Now, I never lied to you about anything I said. Everything I have said to you was the truth and nothing but the truth. I still stand by my statement that you aren't alone in this. In my defense, you never asked who I truly was after giving my name." She said, her brow raised as if challenging him to try and go against what she is saying. She isn't wrong as she actually never lied about anything. "I guess I'll truly introduce myself, even though you kinda know who I am." She said as she shifted on her feet. She usually doesn't introduce herself as Princess Lorelei, but with Aro, she has a feeling she has too so he doesn't accuse him of lying again. "I'm Lorelei Glace, Princess of the Inferno Kingdom." |

Amara kept her eyes on the figure before she looked at Sebastian. "She's the only reason our family stayed together as long as it did" she replied. "Youve seen my father and how, well, cold he can be. She was very much the opposite, and I feel like she would have liked you" she said. Her mind wondered to the first day they met. How he told her they shouldn't tell each other if they were to fall for one another. *It can't be possible. Unless he's an amazing actor* she thought. In her mind, the kindness he had been showing her was more than what her father ever showed her mother. She wasnt sure if she was starting to fall for Sebastian, and she knew she promised to not tell him. *Would I be able to not tell him if I actually felt that way about him* she thought as she looked towards the sunset. When he asked what else she wanted to do before bed she realized how tired she was after the past couple of days. "I'm not sure. Perhaps it is time for bed" she said. "I can show you to your room." ~~~~ Aro grumbled to himself as he glared at the female. Before he could reply he saw she was already taking his clothes, causing him to get angry once again. When she started to undress he saw her scars and rolled his eyes. "I didn't give you permission to take anything! And what the hell is an Inferno doing here?!" His eyes were narrowed as he stood up. "Who invited you here?!" |

Seb could see with what Amara said how much he would like her mother. He only wished that his parents were like that, caring and willing to spend time with them. He wished that they would actually care what they think and everything in between, yet, he knew that would only be a dream that would never come true. "And I'm sure I would've liked her as well." He said nothing about her father because it really isn't his place to say anything. He isn't that friendly and didn't make the greatest first impression. He feels like if someone were to be married to each other, their parents would try to be nice towards them, not make cold remarks towards them. "I'm sorry she passed away." He then remembered how he made her promise not to tell him if they fall for one another. He doesn't remember why he even did that. It must've been a good reason. Maybe it is because he will feel like if she said that so soon, that will make him feel like she is perhaps only faking it. He would rather her fall for him but not know. Maybe they can break that promise on their wedding night and see if they actually fell for one another or not. Regardless, that is still a bit from now and he doesn't need to think about that right now. "Of course. Go ahead and lead the way, darling." ~~~~~~~~ Lor rolled her eyes, her arms crossed over her chest. Yes, she knew he would get mad about her changing into his clothes, but she honestly didn't really care. She just needed to get out of that stuffy dress. She felt like she was just suffocating in it and that if she was in it much longer, she would've had a panic attack. Besides, she feels like if she left and came back, he wouldn't be willing to let her into his room again. That isn't something she wanted since she wanted to at least make a tiny bit of progress before leaving his room tonight. She still doesn't completely understand why he has to yell at her though. He could at least just talk to her normally but still have a harsh and cold tone to it. "You really don't get out of your room much, do you?" She shook her head slightly, wondering how he can live like that. Sure, she lived like that for quite a while before finally going out of her room, but he seems to have stayed in his room ever since he got that scar Amara told her about. "Just relax. I'm not here to assassinate you. If I was, you would already be dead." She grumbled. She ran a hand through her hair while taking out the pins that the servant put in her hair to keep it in place. Strands of her hair fell loosely down her back, some straying into her face. "If you were out and listened to everything, your father and my parents arranged for your sister and my brother to get married." She looked away, her brows furrowed. "It's to combine the two kingdoms and to stop the war. Not too bad of an idea, but not something I would be able to go through with. Besides, we're only here because your father invited us, yet he has been nothing but an ass to us. A great first impression might I say." She said sarcastically with the wave of her hand. "Aro, why can't you understand that I am only here out of my own free will? Why can't you understand that I am not here to hurt you? Why can't you understand that I know exactly how you feel about being locked away in your room and feeling like a monster?" |
