The minute that he got back to the palace, he saw Peruru flying off as well, "Wait Peruru!"
"Why should... Oh." Elios landed on a balcony, and opened the door; it lead into the lounge that the King and Queen were waiting in, "Oh gods, what happened?" Serenity asked, and Endymion took his daughter, sitting her in a chair. Elios, Peruru, and Queen Serenity watched as the King examined Rini, "My guess, is hypothermia, a twisted ankle, and a cold induced migraine." The Queen ran out of the room, "Someone get Princess Hotaru!" The Princess of Saturn was there in a matter of minutes; she nodded to Elios, glanced at Peruru, and then looked back at Elios with her eyebrow raised in question. She put her hands on Rini's ankle, head, and face and then said, "I cannot get rid of hypothermia, but the rest is gone. All you can do is make sure that she is way warmer than usual, then, only time will tell how long it will be before she comes to."
"Thank you Hotaru." They all bowed, except for Peruru, who was still looking at Rini, "Gods, if she loves him..." He said quietly to himself.
Rini woke up the next day, sometime during mid-afternoon. She blinked until her vision cleared, and then looked outside, "Rain one day and sun the next, this is one screwy city." She felt great until Peruru walked into the room, "Rini! I was really worried..."
"I'm fine Peruru." She just hoped that Elios didn't come in; she was sweating like a pig, and she really didn't look like a princess at all, "Then I guess that I'd better go and tell the others!" He bent down to kiss her, but she pushed a pillow into his face, "Peruru! I'm definitely in no state to be kissing you, now go, it's rude to come to a girl's bedroom under any circumstances!" He looked taken aback, but cleared out. Gods was he smothering her, "Ugh!" She must have had hypothermia, which was the only explanation for the heavy satin sheets that wrapped around her like a vise. She pulled out her normal pink dress, which she wore whenever there were visitors. After a long shower, she climbed out, and got dressed, adding her rose scented perfume to the mix. When she was satisfied with her appearance, she walked to the meeting room. On the way there, she stopped, admittedly eavesdropping on a conversation about herself, "Why did you go into her room?"
"I was just checking..."
"No doubt that you were snapped at for doing so."
"Well yes, but..."
"No buts, you did not have anyone's permission to go in there, and therefore, you shouldn't have. You come across as a very smothering individual Peruru."
"Well you come across as an uncaring individual!"
"I care more than you ever will! I just have tact. Which brings me to the point of bowing to a person when they come to yours, or anyone else's aid."
"I wasn't exactly raised in this galaxy, now was I?"
"Nor was I, it is common knowledge."
"You love her don't you?" Rini sucked in her breath, "Why do you care?"
"Because I love her."
"Well then, I suggest that you don't go nosing into another's affairs. If I ever say that I love a woman, it will be to her, and not to some arrogant fairy." She had never seen, nor heard Elios like this, giving etiquette lessons. Both men were, as far as she knew, real sweethearts, it just had to be jealousy or something of that nature that brought them into this conversation, "Arrogant fairy, well you're a selfish priest." Rini chose to enter right as Peruru said that, "As far as I know, you Peruru, are not arrogant, and Elios is not selfish, but rather selfless." They both turned to her, "Rini, so you're better now?" Peruru asked her, but Elios asked with his eyes, as a loving smile touched his lips, "Yes, just fine, thanks to Hotaru." She looked at Elios, and told him with her own face, and you.
Peruru saw the silent exchanges between the two, and he glared at Elios; Rini was his girl, "We'd better go inside." The two turned to him, and Rini blushed, "You are right of course." She walked forward, and so did he, but Elios stayed behind until Rini reached him. Peruru scowled, "Stupid etiquette!" He muttered, and opened the door, waiting for them to come, and then letting the door close in Elios' face before he got through it.
