From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Dracos]

"Well, okay," She nodded and blinked.

The three of them suddenly standing in front of the king's castle.  "This one?"

The shock of it all would've made men shout, curse, or even throw up in many cases. Jan's eyebrow merely quivered as he restrained the urge to draw a bead on the girl. Even that restraint was just because he as used to magic as he was.

'Damn, I'm slipping.'

"Yes. This is Baron Castle. If you'll excuse us." Jan made as if he was going to go.

[Dracos]

"Um..." She looked a bit nervous. "Could you introduce me?  I'm not too good with kings."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan crossed his arms before him as if in consideration.

[Dracos]

Viki's eyes were wide and pretty innocent as she looked at him hopefully, her body language matching her story of a girl lost in a land that was not her own.  She gave off a sort of etheral vibe to her though, despite that.  There was just something he couldn't put his finger on about her.

She looked a bit confused at his stare.  "um, do I have something on my face?"  She tapped around with her hand.

[Olvelsper]

"...fine. Let's go in. I need to ask King Cecil about the details of his request." Jan let out a tired sigh. He turned towards Yomi. "What's eternity for you, huh? Let's put off our meeting with the devil for another time."

He led the way to the king's throneroom.

[Dracos]

"Huh, that's a strange question," The two headed into the castle, finding unfortunately that they had to wait a bit for King Cecil to finish an organizational meeting.  They were both given accommodations in a royal waiting room while the king was indisposed.

"Mmm, somewhere new again," She smiled.  "Well, it should be exciting...  though whatever would I do for protection."  She murmured absent mindedly.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

"You mean you've done this before?" Jan asked, surprised at the tone.

[Dracos]

She nodded sadly.  "2?  Or was it Five?  Or ten?  I always seem to get lost right before the big victory bash," She pouted.

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan slowly blinked. "Right...if you've gone through this ten times, why the need for protection. Just poof yourself away or something."

[Dracos]

"Huh, but then I miss everything.  I like being there for stuff, you get to meet all kinds of interesting people.  Like you for instance.  I bet you have a colorful past, full of plot twists, suffering, adventure, and all sorts of exciting stuff."

Dracos

[Olvelsper]

Jan merely raised an eyebrow at the strange woman. "Right. Anyway, this isn't a game. This world is too harsh and if you don't watch yourself you'll die."

[Dracos]

"I know that..  that's why I always try and stick with good and strong people.  I help them out, they help me out," She nodded. "I get to be where exciting stuff is happening too.  Like just a week ago, Riou defeated the highlanders and unified Dunan.  It was all very exciting...even if it was really scary," She said in almost  an otakuish fashion.

[Olvelsper]

"Don't sound so cheerful about it." Jan admonished a bit sharply. "Man people don't get to walk away from those types of things." He finished, remembering Fizban as he sighed.

"Just...you shouldn't do those kinds of things, I think."

[Dracos]

"Yeah...I know.  I've watched more than a few," She said a little seriously.  "War isn't fun and games.  But it always seems to be going on."
