Amy and Lass now with the ingredients needed where on the way back to the castle. The walk so far was covered in tension as the events of arrival was flashing through the young thief's head.
"The boy looking at me in fear, the crown rushing to Amy and ignoring me, and that storekeeper."Lass thought to himself "Maybe this path of redemption is pointless. Maybe I should just disappear into a forgotten part of the world."
"Lass?" Amy's voce broke Lass' trance like walk.
"Yes?" The thief answered not bothering to look back at the dancer calling him
"I'm sorry about this whole thing" Amy said with a slight tremble in her voice. "I'm sure they will warm up to you very soon."
The thief just stayed quiet and continued to walk.
"LASS IM REALLY REALLY SORRY!" Amy shouted almost breaking down into tears
"Amy please don't cry" the thief said in a very comforting tone "I believe you now let's go we wasted a lot of time already"
The dancer regain the energy and excitement she had before quick pulled herself together and started to jog "Come on slow poke!" the dancer said yelling back at the thief.
Lass started into a quick walk following the dancer trying to force a smirk so she would stay cheerful but still inside he was thinking of the village.
After a few more minutes of following the path the pair arrived back at Grand Chase castle with Amy arriving first since she was jogging.
Amy proceeded to knock on the front door which was awsnered by the orange druid Ryan
"Hey Amy where have you been?" asked Ryan noticing the bags she was holding
"Down to the village getting some missing ingredients for today lunch" replied Amy putting both bags directly in front of Ryan.
"Really well ok how was the village haven't had been down there for a while." Stated the druid
Amy hesitated to tell of the events "It was fine" The dancer quickly said and ran inside.
"Um ok?" Ryan said to himself confused with the reaction the dancer had. Bu before he tried to figure what had just taken place Lass arrived as well lost back into the trance of thoughts he had before.
"Hey Lass did you go to the village too?" Asked a still confused Ryan
"Huh? O yeah I did." replied the thief who snapped out of his day dreaming. And before Ryan had a chance to continue the conversation the thief had alredy disappeared inside leavening a certain orange druid even more confused.
"Did I miss something?" Ryan thought to himself before walking inside and closeting the doors
"Guys I'm back!" shouted Amy as she entered the kitchen.
"Took you long enough hurry I'm starving" Shouted back Elesis surprising the dancer.
"Elesis? What are you doing in here?" asked the dancer. "Um I live here" replied a very annoyed knight
"Well um any ways here the stuff we needed." Said the dancer now turning her attention to Lire and Arme.
"Good we can finish now." Said the mage as she took the bags in hand. "But Amy did anything happen you did take a bit longer then you should have." Said the Archer with a worried look on her face "Where's Lass? He didn't ditch you did he?" asked the mage now joining in the concern.
The images of the incident of the village flashed through Amy head till finally answered "No everything's fine I'm gunna ok now" The three remains in the kitchen all look at each other with worry they knew something was wrong.
"Should we go after her and force her to tell us?" asked Elesis with a rash tone as always
"No leave her alone for now as soon as she gets in a good mood I'll talk with her" replied Lire "Besides we have food on the flame and a castle of hungry people we need to finish this first." Added Arme
"You sure"asked the knight with her tone much softer then before
"Yeah besides its Amy nothing usually keeps her down for long" Replied the mage "Now go tell everyone that the foods almost ready"
The knight just nodded and walked out.
"Arme" Lire called
"Yes Lire I know" replied the mage "Amy's not the one who we should be worried about"
"Then who? … Lass! Do you think something happen to him? exclaimed the archer
"I would say most likely but we can't be sure let's wait till everyone is seated for lunch and pay close attention to Lass and Amy
The archer nodded and went to finishing the salad from early and the mage returned to her stew.
After another ten minutes the food was ready to be served
"Lire could you go set the table." Asked the mage
The archer just smiled and nodded grabbing just enough of the plates, bowls, silverware, and cups needed. She then proceeded out into the grand hall ready to set the table. She came to a sudden stop though when she notched Amy was already sitting at the table bouncing up and down in her chair with the red haired fighter Jin sitting right next to her giving her a quick glance every few seconds.
"Oh um hey guys." Said Lire breaking Jin from his day dreaming of Amy and Amy of her consistent bouncing
"Would you mind helping me set the table since you're here already" asked the archer
"Yes Sir!" said the dancer who then quickly hopped up but ended up getting up so fast she tripped and crashed into the fighter who quickly caught her by wrapping his arms around her
"Woops thanks Jin" said the dancer returning the hug before she removed herself from his grip and skipped to the archer
The fighter was left in the same position with a giant smile on his face and a sparkle in his eye. It was obvious he was greatly happy with what just happened.
"Jin?" Lire called breaking him from his day dreaming once again.
"Huh? Oh yes. Sorry." Replied the awakened Jin who rushed to Lire's side "So what was I gunna do again?"
Amy giggled and Lire just sighed and handed him the bowls.
After about five minutes the table was set. Arme could be seen using magic to hold up the pot of stew and the bowl of salad which she placed on a smaller table so the group could get up and serve themselves.
After setting the pot Elesis had already ventured into the hall and was holding her bowl ready to eat
"Can I get some already" asked the hungry knight with a bit of drool on her lips.
"Yes Elesis go ahead." Sighed the mage.
The knight quickly filled her bowl and went back to the table and began eating
Jin and Amy then motioned themselves to fill their bowls as well. Jin following right behind Amy with the same sparkle in his eye he had earlier. After filling both their bowls they went to sit back down and around the period of this time a few more Grand Chase Knights had entered. Ronan, Ryan, and Dio had entered from just finishing their sparing in the field.
"Good show Ryan. Your getting quite skilled with the transformations." Said Ronan
"Huh? You really think so?" replied the druid excitement in his voice
"Yes Ryan your getting VERY good." Said Dio sarcasm easily caught in his voice
"And what's that suppose to mean" replied Ryan in an annoyed tone while Ronan just gave a nervous laugh at what he knew was coming
"It means why don't you just transform into a bug next time so I won't have to waste all that effort beating you" said Dio filled with supiority
Looking over the boys it could be seen that all three had had slight scratches and tears in clothes. This was due to never using fully lethal force in training but usually enough to create some small injuries.
Looking closely it could be seen that Dio had the least injuries and tears most likely meaning he came out the victor of their sparing matches.
"Guys! No fighting in the hall! Now please sit down and eat." Yelled an upset Lire making sure this argument didn't escalate.
The three did as they were told walked to the table grabbing their plates and bowls and filling them with the stew and salad and walked back to sit at the table.
After a few more minutes pass Mari walked into the hall. She simple went to pick up her bowl and plate and motioned to serve herself in complete silence.
"Mari Sieghart wasn't with you?" asked Arme snapping Mari out of her silence
"No he said he was too tired to be tested today and said he was going to go sleep in the garden" Replied the rune caster with a very pale dull tone
"Don't worry Arme we passed him up on the way here and told him about the food he said he would wake up in a few minutes." stated Ryan who had overheard he conversation.
Arme just sighed and Mari walked back to the table sitting on the other side of Amy
A moment later the gladiator walked in with a yawn.
"Hey everybody" said Sieghart still yawning while he did. No one really paid attention to him so he just went to serve himself and sat down next to Ronan.
"Where is Lass" Arme thought to herself seeing as he was the only one still missing. After a bit more time the thief had arrived. He began to motion for his plate just like Mari before silent and stiff almost like a robot He walked to where the food was but all he had was a plate of salad and sat back down.
With all the knights arrival for lunch the hall became quite lively. The boys minus Lass where continuing the argument about sparring except for Seig who was just smirking about their petty anger. Jin was continuing his day dreaming of Amy. Amy herself was trying to convince Mari to allow her to try on some of her old outfits which she liked. Lire was scolding Elesis who was trying for her third bowl of stew. Everything was as usual expect the mage and thief.
Lass stayed quiet the whole time. He would just use his fork to move around the salad and take small bites every so often. Arme just occasnally glanced at him trying to figure what was wrong.
After finishing only half of the salad Lass was up and ready to leave.
"Thanks for the meal Arme I'm not that hungry though sorry." Said the thief
"Lass is everything ok if something wrong you can tell me." Replied the mage very concerned
Lass just stayed quiet for a bit and the blank expression from earlier was on his face
"Lass?" Arme said snapping him out of his trance
"Huh? Oh sorry. Everything is fine just feeling a little tired." Said Lass
Arme just looked into his eyes and sighed
"Ok Lass if you say so" said Arme lost back in the gaze she put on Lass.
The thief then began to walk towards the back of the hall to exit onto the field. Arme, Lire, and Amy just stared at they watched him go
"Lass when will you open your heart to us?" Arme whispered to herself as she watched him go through the door

Ok I just like to use this ending to say I am trying my hardest to give each character at least 1 important role though the story completely revolves around Lass '
