Maisie took her time enjoying her cup of tea, watching as he took the phone. It was hard not to feel relieved when he had mentioned he would give them a location meeting spot rather than her address. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust his word, she didn’t trust the soldiers not to ruin everything in their wake. Especially seeing as the crown Prince had been taken hostage it wasn’t going to end well; she knew it wasn’t no matter the result. There was no way the Prince could be taken and there not be some consequence because of it, someone was going to suffer, and it would be their people. Maisie knew their people would be the ones to suffer first as they were insignificant to the King. 

“Yeah it’s been quite hectic, I can’t imagine what you are going through.” Maisie sighed to herself as she took her cup of tea and started to drink it relaxing in the kitchen as she looked at him making the call. Maisie felt somewhat guilty for his situation as the rebellion had gone too far, but as much as she knew felt it deep down she knew that there was barely anything she could do about it.

Hearing him speak down the phone she turned making herself busy, she didn’t want to just be stood there listening although it wasn’t hard to eavesdrop because it wasn’t that far away from the kitchen. Frowning as she heard him, she didn’t think that the call was going well, not by the sounds of it. Glancing down at the cup of tea she went to say something but already he had started to call them back and this time he sounded demanding. [i]Maybe this will be the one?[/i] Thinking that the next call would do it, but moments late she could see his face drop. “Ah…” Finishing off her cup of tea she headed back into the room picking up her phone and placing it in her pocket, “I’m sorry… I didn’t expect it to go like that. I would have thought that they would know. You’ve been missing for quite some time… I don’t know why this would happen.” Shaking her head, she headed towards the bedroom, “Iris will get you home, we’ll work on that plan tomorrow. What’s best now is getting some rest. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.” Offering him a sympathetic smile before she headed into the bedroom where her friend was. 

Walking inside she could see Iris curled up on the bed eyes closed, finally asleep. Although it didn’t look like she was having a pleasant dream. Sighing to herself Maisie moved the duvet covering her friend before getting inside with her running fingers through her hair trying to calm her friend. Maisie had a horrible feeling in her stomach, she was anxious on letting her friend go tomorrow but she knew it had to happen. As much as she wanted to stop it, she couldn’t, she knew by s topping her friend the guilt would only worsen and it was pretty bad at the moment. “What have you gotten yourself into.” Sighing as she continued to soothe Iris in her sleep.
