"Reino dear take our little guest to his room. You know the one." The white wolf blinked his purple eyes and then focused on the man standing there. "Well, what are you afraid of? Is he making my widdle-pudey-pie newvous?" The Ice Queen looked Ren up and down narrowing her eyes and wondering what it was about the man. He had some bad memories (something to do with a duel taken in his stead that was why she had taken this form was it not?) but that is not what puts the shivers in her precious arctic wolf's paws. She let out her breath as though she now knew what to do. "You will follow me. Your room is not far from my destination." Ren didn't speak he knew this next year would be difficult enough without him making this witch angry and the happier she was the safer it would be for Kyoko.

Speaking of Kyoko…

Kyoko awoke feeling very fuzzy as she tried to think about what had happened. "Haaa. I can't believe it why would that arrogant…why would he save me?" She got dressed in a hurry and thanked the Duke quickly and began her trek anew. Because if that genius of a knight and arrogant blowhard thinks he can save her and then disappear, well, he has another think comin'.
