"Where are they!? They've been gone for almost a week!" The king roared.
"Please, Roald, calm down. No good can come of this bickering, Jon is a smart boy, he knows not to get himself into unnecessary trouble," his wife strived to soothe his tormented soul.
"Yes, and the others are sensible lads, and with litle Alan by his side, he won't get into any calamity, none of them will," the king's brother-in-law assured him.
"Yes, but where are they? All we know is that they are in another world, unreachable to us. Before now we had never heard of such a thing. We've only just been through war with Tusaine and now our Prince is no longer here to make sure everything stays right because it is too dull?!" Roald de Conté started to pace, making wild gestures as he spoke. "Anything could happen, we've no idea where they are, five of our best knights! They have no notion of what that world may contain—"
"I'm sure those boys wouldn't have just jumped in there without thinking, they are all very reasonable lads and wouldn't do anything without thinking." The Duke repeated himself. The Queen walked to her husband, placing a tentative and affectionate hand on his shoulder, he stopped pacing and turned to face her, holding her hand with his. They looked at each other for a moment before spoke.
"We'll find him, no matter what it takes, no matter where he is, we'll find him."
The King only nodded.
"Yes, but where is he?!" Roger screamed as he threw his scrying bowl across the room to crash loudly in the wall of his secret room. He'd been looking for his not-so-dear cousin for days now and didn't have a clue of where he might be, he had never even thought it possible to change worlds, of course he had always conceived that there were other worlds but he didn't know how to get to them, he thought it was impossible. For all he knew, they were dead or trapped in another world. That would make his job either considerably harder or easier, but it wasn't something he had planned on, definitely not, he thought, and he didn't like things not going as he planned.
"So who's this 'Faithful'?" Ryn asked, oblivious to the others' stares.
"He's my cat, well, not 'my' exactly, I like to think of him as a companion, if you know what I mean..." Alanna trailed off. Ryn nodded with seemingly complete understanding. "Well, it was just strange because Faithful looks exactly like..." She looked pointedly at the cat draped on Ryn's shoulder.
"Trust, but I call her Tru." Ryn supplied.
"Tru," Alanna picked up, "except he's male and has purple eyes, like mine." The other s made strangled noises as Alanna gave away that her lavender hued eyes were not phony. She waved a hand dissmissively at them. "Tru's seem to be as blue as your own, hm?"
Ryn smiled knowingly, "I had the the great pleasure of meeting Faithful, I saw him roaming the halls of the school and mistook him for Tru, when I attempted to place him on my shoulder, I knew it was not she, I have the proof." She grinned, pulling up the sleeve of her shirt and showing off the scratches on her right forearm. Alanna grinned back, knowingFaithful, that was light damage. "Then we got to talking—"
"Talking?! You mean...?" Ayden looked at her incredulously, as did the rest of the group.
"Well... yeah," she frowned, "he told me he spoke to you all the time, how come you're so... surprised?"
"Well, Faithful doesn't talk to just anyone..." Jon started.
"But I can see why he would speak to you," Alanna was starting to understand the situation slightly better. She smiled, "Tru can speak too, can't she?"
Ryn smiled at her friends intuition. "Yes, yes she can."
"When did you meet her?"
"Um, about three months ago, or so. How about you and Faithful?"
"Same. You don't have contacts, do you?"
"No, and neither do you or Jon, right?"
Jon smiled. "You already knew that."
"I might have," Ryn answered innocently. "You aren't from here, are you?" Her gaze swept over the group, resting hesitatingly longer on Gary, he smiled reassuringly, getting up and getting two glasses of orange juice, handing her one before sitting on the arm of her chair. She looked up at him shyly.
Alanna watched Ayden frowned at Ryn's behavior toward Gary, I have to tell her about that, I don't think it would do for her to ruin it with Ayden, especially for Gary who seems to think about her as a sister.
But Alanna had the wrong impression of Gary.
Maybe she does like me! Should I ask her to the dance? No, I'll wait until we are alone... If I aske at all. Gary thought to himself, sipping his orange juice. Ryneka made him feel like none of the women at court, he felt like he had to act differently around her, like he wanted to act differently around her.
Jonathan picked up the tension in the room, "So, I think it might be about time Ryn went home, I'm sure you must be getting tired." He looked at her expectantly.
"Oh, yes, you're right, I really should get going, I have a long day ahead of me tomorrow..." she looked pointedly back at Jon, he smiled. Ryn rose from her chair, steadying herself flirtatiously on Gary's thigh, Tru balanced herself in a very casual way, moving in sync with Ryn, the two moved as one. Whene Ryn staightened, Tru jumped off her shoulder, down her back and Ryn smoothly brought her leg out behind her for Tru to climb down.
Wow, I can't do that with Faithful! They must be really close! Alanna thought reverently.
Ryn said goodbye to everyone, hugging them all, kissing Jon and Ayden on the cheeks, she waved goodbye as she walked out the door, Tru at her heels.
Alex closed the door softly, hoping no one noticed him spying on them. He had oto find a way to speak with his master, but how...
So, how'd d'you like it? i know you all totally hate me right now, and I know this chap isn't all that great. I don't have a real excuse except school, my job and my fed up computer. So yeah, plz review, I'm going to genuinely try hard to write and post the next chap as soon as possible, once summer is here, posting will be a lot more frequent, I'm sure. Ciao.
