Ekon woke at dawn, as he always did when stressed. Peeking out into the hall, he spotted a maid and politely asked for a cup of hot tea. After replying with a quite terrified look, she took off and went to fetch his tea. From there, Ekon brought out his easel, hoping it wasn't damaged on the way.

It looked fine, nothing too bad, just a few dents and things that could be easily repaired. The canvases were practically all ripped, but a single canvas was completely fine. Ekon tied up his white hair in a messy bun. As he was still wearing his night clothes. He only had pants on and his bracelets. No shirt. (I just felt like throwing this random detail in because honestly, Ekon is hot as hell and I feel like you don't understand that yet )) And he stood there, debating what in the world he should paint.

Ekon was midway through a painting of the palace, using only his mind as a reference, when he heard the rubbing of fur against the door. With a sigh, he gently set his brush down along with his paint and quickly flicked his hand. The door knob, being made of metal, was easy to open from where Ekon stood and Dakota closed it by pushing it.

"You should try going out as reasonable hours, that way you don't have to wait for me to wake up and open the door." The huge bear just huffed and lied down, tired after his hunt.

The bell rang for people to begin gathering for breakfast, so Anasuri set down her book and strolled our the door, pausing for a moment, only to let Dava leave. She had braided her long hair, and wore a simple, flowing pale brown tunic. Today she planned on collecting more herbs and ingredients.

His painting was almost done, only the minor details were needed. He packed away his stuff and quickly and changed into dark brown trousers and a light blue tunic the same color as his tattoo.

Speaking of tattoos, his was covered up by 6 silver bracelets. He had 6 on each arm. Then of course, he had his silver earrings in. So he was pretty much set for anything that may occur.

His hair was tied up in its normal bun. So when the breakfast bell rang, Ekon was ready. He held open the door for his lazy bear friend who lumbered out of the room with slow steps.

Dava wandered off, like she always did in the morning, to eat bamboo.

Dakota meanwhile, watched as Dava walked off and decided to join her. She was nice to talk to, and friends weren't given the same rules as knights were. Dakota could go wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Though, he never was gone from Ekon's side for long.

Especially now that Ekon was keeping secrets from him.

Anasuri liked that Ekon stayed out of her general area, but enough to protect her. The last knight was always breathing down her neck.

Filing into the dining room, Anasuri went to her seat, and remained standing. Luckily, the King was early, and breakfast began soon after.
