The king sighed and stood up; "Lili, i must ask that if you plan to interupt that you return to the kitchens, and please take your cat with you. You should know better then to play with animals when your in a room with important people trying to conduct important decisions.

 And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down."Yes sir. Of course sir." redface Lili curtsied and left the room, carrying Kaiser with her. She needed to bandage her leg anyways. She made her way to the nearest bathroom, set Kaiser on the counter and started to wrap her leg. "My name is Lilianna Arkeneathym, but you can call me Lili for short. And I guess I'd be willing to give it a shot. I don't have much that I need to bring with. I just need to tell Grammy and make sure it's okay that I leave the castle grounds now." Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.

Quote: Ailes looks up at the ceiling and sighs, her stomach twisted. she looks at Toole with tear-filled eyes, "want some tea?" she stands up and slowly slides her hand out of Toole's. Her hand slid up his arm and firmly grasped his shoulder. her sighs were heavy and broken, and sobs were beginning to break through. she got a teapot and put some warm water on it, then placed it on the wooden stove. she then grabs some fresh mint leaves and chops them up with some dried berries, "heh, i wonder how this will taste..." Toole came up beside her setting a cup of tea beside her; "Drink this, but go ahead and finish. I would love to taste the fruits of your creation, and afterwards we can use the hidden passage up to my father room. I can get a few hours sleep, and you'll be with someone you know. Isabella means well, for a child she is brillantly gifted, but she is still a child."

"Alright, Lili. My name is Kaiser. I work for the Moonlight Organization." He lept off the counter and assumed his natural form and leaned against the wall. "I'll be around here for a few more days. When you're done with you need to do, we'll head on out, understand?"
He sighed and stretched, before he looked at the door with an alarmed reaction and dropped into his cloak, rather then the cat. He winced at his mistake, and wished he'd been more on the bounce. Lili - Cat would be strange.
He nudged her mind with the thought that the Cat ran off for now. Hopefully that little lie would be utilized by her.

Toleranth Toole came up beside her setting a cup of tea beside her; "Drink this, but go ahead and finish. I would love to taste the fruits of your creation, and afterwards we can use the hidden passage up to my father room. I can get a few hours sleep, and you'll be with someone you know. Isabella means well, for a child she is brillantly gifted, but she is still a child." She sighed and sipped the brew set in front of her, "i don't mind her company... Hell, i grew up in an orphanage. it's just... right now i am not myself." her gaze takes her mind to a distant place where she sat there for quite some time. she was awoken by the sound of the boiling water in the teapot. she jumped and set down her now empty cup, "oh! god that scared me..." she grabs her shredded herbs and divides them between two metal tea eggs. she then searches the cupboards till she finds the mugs, "do you have a preference in which mug you use?"

Toole shook his head; "About the size you will use for yourself." Toole thought over his next statement while she grabbed the mug. "Ailes you do know I brought you in here to know the whole story, but also i wanted to give you a chance to talk to me. You knew Akuma longer then I did, so i know from experiences with others the hurt goes way deeper. I know you will never be who you were before completely, just the way of things, but i want to help you get back as much of it doing whatever I can."

there was a small voice at the back of Toole's head, "Bah... you fool! It's easy to get her back the way she was! Cheer her up by taking her to a bunch of new places. She's easily distracted! I figured you would have noticed that by now. Take her to so many things that she doesn't even know where to start anymore and you'll see the Ailes you once knew. Oh! And don't go thinking you got rid of me, because I'll be back to check up on you guys!" Akuma laughed and her voice faded away.
"...Toole? You okay? Maybe we should save the tea for later and you can get some rest now..." Ailes sets the mug down and grabs Toole's arm to help him up out of the chair.

Toole rubbed his head; "Yeah, i think i better, sorry to make you go through the trouble of making it." Toole walked to the center of the room and took off the amulet, the return to is true form was rather swift, and he smiled a toothy grin at Ailes. "I can wait until you finish though so you can come with, unless of course you'd rather be hounded by Isabella for not eating."

She follows Toole into the other room, "ha, she should be the one to talk! Scrawny little thing..." She stares out the window with glazed eyes while muttering to herself, "probably hasn't had time for a decent meal in weeks..."
she then sighs, "bottoms up..." She closes her eyes and chugs the warm brew, "mmmm, not bad. Well, shall we nap?"

"She puts others before herself, Tolly does have several classes going on right now, and each class is 25 students. They live either here or in the city, but most eat here since its provided in the tuition costs. She is his lead assistant, his number two you could say, and how she finds time to be a child is remarkable with so much responsilbity. However, this way..." Toole pulled on the dragon stove, the massive stove moved with a section of wall attached to it, the opening went down, and Toole turned the pan a quater turn clockwise.
The trip through the tunnel was long, and evenutally they ended up in a massive room surrounded by books. In the center was a massive pile of huge pillows. Toole took up residence there, and made himslef comfortable with one pillow near his head left all alone for her. It still dwarfed a kings sized bed.

she crawled up on the massive pillow and after a few times of sliding down she finally made it to the top... which sunk down and made her climb again to get next to Toole. she collapsed against Toole's torso and fell fast asleep.

Isabella settled down in her room and just got her interest back in the text when her door flew open again. She turned her eyes and the tall woman dressed in black closed the door; "You sent me across two realms for a piece of rock, and for what?" Isabella looked back at her text, i didn't send you, Tolly did, but i got the duty of telling you to go so in a way i'm not surprised you come to yell at me first."
Sorrow cooled her temper a bit and came over to take the book from Isabella before settting down to look at the child. "Why did he send me for a piece of rock Isabella?" Isabella shruged and held out her hand; "Like I know, now can you give me back my book please?" Sorrow flipped the book over to read the cover. "I know you Isabella, you know something, and what are you doing reading such a dirty title book. You ought to be ashamed of yourself, if Tolly found out, he would take away his personal libaray now wouldn't he?" Isabella launched out of her chair for the book but Sorrow only laughed and moved it out of reach. "Tell me Isabella, Why did he send me for really?" Isbella screamed at Sorrow; "Giv it too me right now!"
--------------------------------
Tolly grumbled standing up; "Excuse me a moment ladies and gentlemen." Tolly left the throne room and moved a couple of hallways away, he opened the book he had tucked away, and watched the near straight lined speed writing of a maid form on a page. He sighed knowing the ruse wouldn't have lasted forever, he really didn't need her here causing a ruckus. Merril would want to kill her upon sight, and this didn't bode well for his chance to take over leadership.
He took a talon and wrote several lines back.
--------------------------------
The maid took the message and ran to Isabellas room. She pushed the door open, and handed the message not to Isabella but to Sorrow. Sorrow threw the book at Isbella and a few pages tore out in the process. She walked past the maid and slammed the door behind her.

~Back in Tolly's room~ Ailes squirms about violently, muttering something of dying and needing something. suddenly she launches into an upright position, "TOOLE!" He lifts his head and looks at her, "what? had a bad dream?" "Worse," she stares up at him with haunting tearful eyes, "you never took the potion did you?"

"Come to think of it I didn't, things started going down, and father had to leave. Mother is not here, so that leaves us, wait a minute were in my father's room he has to have it somewhere around in here." Toole started digging through shelves and drawers.
------------------------------
Tolly reentered the throne room and settled back into place. "i apologize for the delay, please continue."

Ailes fragile trembling hands reached into her little dress pocket and pulls out her panda. holding it out to Toole she asks, "'suppose your dad knows where it is? you can ask him with panda right?"
