Elyon started to smile faintly, right before she fell into Cedric's arms - for a moment forgetting he still only barely recovered from near-fatal injury. "Let's do that..." she whispered, as her anger and confusion made way for some spark of joy. Cedric was just... Amazing. There's no other word for it. She felt like he was the only one in the universe who understood her...

"Right." Cedric did his best not to scream like a little girl. And his efforts weren't in vain. But just when he was about to stand up, Cedric tripped on his mantle and fell - right on Elyon, knocking her down too.
"Sorry, sorry, it's just..." Cedric started saying, but then his eyes met Elyon's. What an idiotic way to fall, he thought. If someone would walk in now and see them... They'd certainly get the wrong idea. However, since he had to keep the princess close - not literally, of course - Cedric hesitated to stand back up and kept staring at Elyon's face with a very strange expression. Their faces were very close, Cedric could even feel Elyon's breathing. "I...I..." He kept repeating, pretending to be out of words.

[Belac: Enter from Courtyard] Belac: Stupid Phobos! How dare he order me to escort some kid! *opens the door & enters without knocking* I'm not... *sees Cedric fooling around with Elyon*

Cedric heard the door open and tried to stand up, but he wasn't fast enough and whoever entered must have seen everything. Cedric froze with fear. What if it's Phobos? It would be quite hard to explain everything. "Ahem..." Cedric said, slowly turning his face towards the door. When he saw that it was just another of Phobos' minions, he regained his composure - well, almost. "I believe one has to knock before entering."

Elyon didn't react at all. She was still stuck in just a few seconds ago, believing herself to try and comprehend what just happened. Although she knew that wasn't really true...

"Just like a movie, don't you think? The best things always get interrupted." Cedric laughed. "Although I haven't seen too many of them. What do you say we go see one when we get to Heatherfield?" In truth, it wasn't funny. Why in the world Phobos and his minions always make things worse? This would have helped strengthen their 'relationship' in so many ways. And now he can't just fall on her again. I thought I told Phobos to keep his distance, Cedric thought, still trying to stand up.

Belac: "I have no time for trivial courtesies." *looks at Elyon* "Have you packed your things?"

"Why would you care?" Elyon eventually snapped out of it and stood up. "If you don't have time for comon courtessy, then make some. What's so important that you can't make the effort to knock?" This guy just disturbed a wonderful moment, so he better have a good explenation for his undeniable rudeness. She was still the princess, regardless of where she was or what she wore. That meant she still had the associated authority.

"Allow me, princess." Cedric grinned. He was always up for mocking Phobos' servants. "I don't think he'll understand such complicated manner of speaking. I'll do my best to translate."
He approached Belac and said with a cold tone. "You forgot two things - to knock and to bow down to the princess. Who do you think you are? And watch your tongue, if you don't want me to cut it off."

Belac: *smirks* "Oh really?"He drops his human disguise as he transforms into his Annihilator true form & glares at Lord Cedric. Kami is slightly different from these Annihilators: the hood is dark blue (not aqua), the jewels on the hood are rubies (not emeralds), the belt is gold (not silver), the jewels on the belt are rubies (not emeralds), his outer skin is black (not green), & his chest is silver (not white). Kami: "I happen to be Kami Kushiel, Captain of the Whisperers. And unless you've forgotten, you rank just a tad below a petty whisperer. Perhaps you should be the one bowing to me, Whisperer Wannabe?"

"If it would be just between us." Cedric answered ironically. "I'd probably respect your plantness a bit more. But when it comes to showing respect to the princess, your future queen, I feel it is only appropriate to remind you that you rank just a tad below the key figure of Meridian."
"Besides, how can you even act all high and mighty, when you're just one of Phobos' errand boys?" Cedric yawned. "I don't know about ranks, but I know that I'm Phobos' right-hand man. At least I can live without being watered twice a week."
Cedric wouldn't have allowed himself to act so rudely, if not for the princess standing near. He knew that as long as he's with her, he doesn't have to fear anything - not even Phobos.

Kami: *chuckles* "Is she now? Then please explain why Elyon is going back to Heatherfield. I've already heard Phobos' point of view, but I'd like to hear it right from the snake's mouth."
He smirks as he waits for the Lord's response.

"You honor me." Cedric said sarcastically. "But I'm afraid I can't be of much help. You should ask the princess herself."
He leaned closer to Kami and hissed quietly, but loud enough for Elyon to hear. "And be careful - Phobos himself should fear the princess wrath, not to talk about you - or anyone else for that matter. Just a tip."
With that, Cedric leaned back and got out of the way.

Kami: "Hmph! If Phobos feels a need to assign me to protect her during her journey home, I highly doubt she is so threatening. Besides..." *smirks* "She has more important things to worry about."

Cedric covered his face to hide his flat smile. Since when does Elyon need anyone's protection? But the news about the whisperer accompanying them to Heatherfield weren't very pleasant. Cedric's ways of manipulation were subtle and it was hard for him to 'work' with someone always distracting him. That's why he tried to be with princess alone most of the time. Elyon Cedric attempted to send a telepathic message. Don't let him come with us!
