The gladiator and the princess

Lauralye looked at him, a little amazed, when he told her head would be coming with her. She didn't know why but she had somewhat expected him to choose the throne. It wasn't like Robert but that is what she knew of people. They wanted power. That was why people tried killing her... She smiled at him as he got his shirt and pulled it back on. She nodded, "I want to learn to use my magic... Properly and not black out. It will help... The demons wanted me for a reason.. I need to figure it out..."

Lauralye looked at him when he sat down, telling her if he took the throne he would need someone to stand next to him, be with him through it all. She started to shake her head, "I can't be that person... Not with my own throne to take..."

She took his hand in her's and held it for a moment, "No matter how much I want to be that person..." She met his eyes, "I love you.... I do... I would give up so much for you... I have.... But... I need to take my throne back... Give my people the ruler they deserve, not my father and surely not David...."

Lauralye tried not to look disheartened when he mentioned that he was to take the throne of this country. Whether or not she was a refuge now, she had to take the throne back from David. He did not deserve it and she couldn't trust him to take proper care for her Kingdom... She would run and try to stop the war but ultimately, she would need to reclaim her throne. She could not do that and be in love with a man who was to take his own. She shook her head, she could not be love with him... Thus she wasn't in love with him, simple as that. She looked at him, her eyes flickering to the writing on his shoulder for only a moment before looking away, "I think you would be a well loved King..."

The gladiator and the princess

Lauralye traced a few of the scars with her fingers as he spoke. It was strange, standing here with him not wearing shirt. It was very unladylike, she supposed she didn't really have to be much of a lady anymore. Of course, old habits die hard and she decided that she wouldn't take off her coat or gloves, as it would be highly unacceptable of her. She rested her forehead on his back, right between where his wings were. Her gloved hand continued to trace the scars, "I wish I had known you sooner... Maybe I could have stopped this..."

She decided then that if she ever got the chance to rise to her own throne, that she would try and abolish slavery. It wasn't right for people to own people. She, herself, had basically been owned by her father her entire life... Now, she was property of David, even when she was running from him. She rubbed her finger, where the ring had once sat and sighed, removing her head from Robert's back and moving instead to the couch to sit.

Jaya laughed when Nikko seemed to start worrying about dancing. She looked at him, "You don't have to be wonderful at things like this. You don't even have to be good... Just feel the music!" She said as she spun into him, wrapping his arm around her then back out again so both their arms were stretched out. She came back it and caught his other hand, swaying them to the music. She smiled at him, "See, it really isn't that hard!"

Lauralye walked into the room with him. It was simple, compared to her own. There was a large bed and a small coffee table and sitting area. She walked over to it and was about to sit down when she noticed the scarring on Robert's back. She walked over to him, her jack and gloves still on, and touched one of the long scars. She pursed her lips, "Do... They hurt still?"

Jaya left the gentleman after a short while of dancing. She was growing tired and handed him off to an elderly woman. He didn't seem to enthusiastic but couldn't really say no. She walked over to Nikko and rested her head against Senge's neck, who stood behind him. She smiled as she pet him, "You are being an awfully good guy, Senge."

She then looked to Nikko, "You too," She joked before ruffling his hair a little. She smirked, "Why aren't you dancing? I mean, they are willing to dance with me in the mix, I don't think they'd mind you," She caught his hand and started to pull him into the group of people dancing, "Come on, it isn't going to kill you."

Lauralye smiled a little when he told her that she made him happy. She shook her head when he suggested that she get some rest, "I'm not tired.... I wouldn't mind you staying with me... I don't really want to be alone... not after Lucian.... and it is strange, being here."
