Ava, face still sprinkled with glitter, took a glance at the general and instantly felt goosebumps climb their back. She looks absolutely terrifying. They looked away as to not have to face this fearful presence directly and replied "partners in crime, that is!" before quickly sticking to Noah again

They whispered back "ohh, you're a genius, Noah!" and turned back to Regina for a second, then decided it's better if they reply without looking at her "don't snitch scary miss, that's not cool!"

"Oh! Tonight I am actually allowed to sleep back home! I don't know about the other knights but I personally only get one night to sleep there instead of on camp.... would it be okay if I escorted you back? You could also come over to my house so you can see around."(/platonic) Phillip said and grabbed a croissant that he very subtly put in his pouch around his hip.

William turned around to see the cloud of glitter thrown, “I see. Thank you very much.” He said to Charlie. He would leave the bakery soon, but he did see Philip and wanted to talk to him. He gently pushed through the line of people that had accumulated and then made his way into the seating area. “Sorry for interrupting your meal Phillip. I just wanted to know if you happened to see Noah around?” He asked.

Regina followed after them. "All the same, I think it's best that I escort you back. Wouldn't want anything to happen to the prince, now would we?" She kept close behind them, with the ghost of a smile on her face.

rosaline nods along. "i dont have a break but! well! sucks for poor regina! we can visit my family too!!" she pays for the croissant, squatting down to look at the glitter. she notices the poor girl working behind the counter in total shock.
"im sorry for that, the royal family gets..umm...they have their moments." rosaline smiles at charlie. "uh, you do have glitter on your hair. and clothes. everywhere really."
*last scene as well sorry i finished this like what.4 hours ago . timezones said no*

"I would love that! Dad was never out for travelling much, but who's to say I'm not?" She laughs for herself. She nods to Rosaline, "I'd love to visit you too, sometime."
Oh, how wonderful it would be to live in a city.

Tirik let out a hearty chuckle. "Last time you gave somebody a reading, it was me. And, I might add, you managed to pull three Death cards. Nonetheless, that was a fair casted Illusion." He leaned back, supported against thin air in an impossible position. The shadow rolled down his arm, settled in his hand like pudding. And ever more, he leaned back. "Let's see what these fine few get. Then I'll summon a Seergrip and we'll see what it says."

Scarlet decided to return back to the city, she needed the distraction and would like to purchase a few items anyway. She passes by a bakery, glancing into it from the corner of her eye. She has to a double-take, spinning around and quickly returning to the window. Why on earth were there members of the crown here!? This was certainly a rare sight, was there a certain reason for their visit? Or maybe they just desired to escape the castle? She drops her hand to her side, not realizing she had pressed it against the window. She should leave, she probably looked incredibly suspicious standing here, but it was like an invisible force was keeping her anchored in this spot.

As Elliot opened his mouth to shoot down Ava, the door to the bakery opened and Elliot stiffened when his father entered. Oooh boy, nope nope nope he was not doing today. Panic shot through the young prince's heart at the sight of his father. What would his father say if he caught him slacking from work, away from his large books and stacked paperwork? Would he be disappointed that his two sons were goofing off instead of helping run the nation? Obviously, his father wouldn't be disappointed, not when Noah did those things on a daily basis, but Elliot was the good kid, the kid who tried his damnedest to please his parents. He understood how difficult it could be, running a nation, so if he could help out his parents, even if it was filing mindless paperwork and getting himself aquatinted with court politics then he would do so.

Elliot could feel his body trembling as fear wracked through his body. His father appeared pre-occupied which meant that he hadn't noticed Elliot yet. Speaking of noticing, Ava's ostentatious hat was no where to be seen, nor could Elliot spot Noah in the slowly growing crowd of the bakery as glitter suddenly rained upon those gathered within the shop. Letting out a low growl, Elliot grabbed his purchase, paid the baker with a few extra coin to spare and existed the bakery in order to track his brother down. Thankfully, Tirilks summon was still by his side and the small tracking familiar was already on the jobz bounding towards the duo's new hiding spot.

Rounding a corner, Elliot smacked right into Reigna, so focused on wringing his brothers neck that he didn't notice that the captain had already beat him to finding them. "Captain." He greeted, somewhat sullenly before his gaze caught on that the duo was also present. "And you two." It came out more as a hiss than actual yelling as his eyes narrowed at them. "You two had better enjoy your last damned tarts before I separate your heads from your necks." Came the low threat as he dropped the paper bag containing his ordered tarts into Ava's hands.

Was Elliot above bribery? Nope. Could he have worded that better? Oh definitely but to him it at least got the point across. Even if his glitter speckled hair didn't seem all that threatening

Noah looked at Regina, and then at his brother. He just smiled, grabbed Ava's hand, and bolted toward the castle at the fastest speed he could. This was getting fun! He was roping so many people into following him around.

Regina was surprised, but when he spoke, she realized what was going on. She muttered to herself, "Honestly, I did expect this with the prince's track record." "Prince Elliot, you're going to have to learn to keep your temper in check. I understand your anger, but please, I don't think the king would appreciate it if he found his son sans head," she remarked dryly. "And while you're at it, you may want to get rid of that glitter." She jabbed in Noah's direction. "And you may want to start running if you're going to follow through on your "threats."

Esmerelda

Gratefully, Esmerelda took the teacup, raising it to her lips and taking en elegant sip, her smaller finger outstretched, before placing the cup onto the china plate. The tea sent a warming feeling through her limbs, like warm honey. Letting out a large sigh, she took her time responding to Joy's question.
"Yes, I imagine Noah will be buried deep in his own misery by now," she mused, giggling a little, whilst thinking about where they could venture to. Perhaps into the city, to buy unneeded items, and commune with others their age, whom they deemed to be 'friends'.

"Ah." Elliot simply muttered, feeling a bit like a scolded child. Which he supposed he was currently. Running a hand through his hair to shake off most of the glitter (but then again, glitter was a pain to shake out. It would take a proper rise to remove most of the reflective material but even then the second prince's hair would sparkle ever so slightly under the right lighting) Elliot nodded to Reigna before taking off after his bothersome brother.

Instead of earnestly chasing after Noah, however, Elliot simply herded the pair towards the castle, cutting off any side paths that the duo could take for another prank related detour.

Opal lets out a kind hearted chuckle based on the 3 death cards comment. "Not exactly what happened but it is a charming tale regardless." He stop chuckling and adjusts his blindfold "Say I am sure your grip thing will amaze them but maybe we should really take a step back shall we! We are here showing them all these wild tricks, we should start simple and let them explain their reason for partaking in said apprenticeship, after all, this isn't quite the easy thing to aim for, they must have big dreams to try and pursue an education from royal mages." He says with a smile as he realizes that he should probably pull back on all the magic performances that were being displayed, it would be unprofessional to get too heated. "I am sure they have a lot to say, we should chat it over as we give them a little tour, this is their first time in the palace after all" they say with a wide smile forming on their face once again. Since they knew both do them were excited to see the ins and outs of the palace they decided to treat them to said tour.

Regina couldn't hold in a small chuckle. Life was never boring with those two. She supposed she'd better follow after him. Regina knew what a bad temper could do to you. She kept up a slight jog, until she caught up to the prince. At least this time, he was planning it out better. She'd never say it, but Regina was curious to see what Elliot would do if he caught up with his brother.

Joy took another sip but her pleasure was cut short due to several loud noises coming from the entrance,mostly panting,sliding and footsteps. "Speak of the devil..." she sighed. Seeing as Cooper was nearby,she kindly asked him if he could make sure that everyone was fine before taking another sip of the delicious tea. "Do you remember if Father or Mother mentioned where they would perhaps head to during their walk?" she turned to Esmeralda. She was more eager to go check out what was happening with Noah and Elliot than go out for a walk,and her impatience was showing from her legs' continuous movement.

Charlie, covered head-to-toe in glitter, just giggled and waved a hand. "Oh, don't worry about it," she said, smiling at Rosaline. "I appreciate a bit of chaos every now and then. Bakery life can get awfully mundane sometimes, especially when one lives alone." She began to dust some of the glitter from the counter and from her hair, although she did think that she might leave a little. It was kind of pretty, after all. Never a dull moment with the royal family, she reflected as she watched Prince Elliot run out. The king was chatting with Phillip now, and no one else seemed to be entering, so Charlie decided to take 5 and munch on a bit of breakfast herself. Leaning back against the counter, she smiled and idly watched the conversations in front of her.

"Eh, I'll let you handle this one." Regina broke off and decided to go back to the bakery. She had never gotten that tart as she wanted. She made her way back through the city until she came to the bakery. It seemed good, after all, Regina had seen a lot of people there, and there was a good smell coming from it. She entered and approached the counter. "Greetings, could I trouble you for a hot drink and a tart?"

Noticing the knight returning, Charlie figured that she must have blown off some steam from earlier. "Good morning," she replied cheerily, already reaching for a pot and a cup. "Help yourself to a tart of your choice," Charlie continued, pouring out a cup of tea for her patron. "I hope you like English Breakfast. If it's too bitter for you, I've got plenty of sugar and milk," she said, sliding the cup towards the knight. "Busy morning?"

Regina took it, nodding slowly. "You could say that. I didn't think that one could go from never seeing any action to being sick of everything happening at once!" She bit her lip, taking a slow sip of the coffee. Should she keep talking? Conversations were something that friends did..and Regina made it a point not to have any friends. So, she settled her face into a mask of cool indifference and took another sip. This was good coffee. A whole lot better than the stuff in the castle, that was for sure.
