Alister smiled when Lady Kate relievingly agreed to meet with his lovely cousin. He lead her to Ristina who was standing off to the right side of the ballroom. Even though her dress by far out shined Amanda's. He had also managed to see Kate decline Damian a dance. Well suited he liked her already, she knew how to keep his eyes. At last they made it to his dear cousin who was trying to hide her few scrapes but it seemed to be a failure of an attempt.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Welcome to Wildwood. Please come with me. I assure you refuage.Feign a faint, and Sir carry her. Follow me. </span>Lady Kate's words were all too surprising for him. The fact that she would without waiting for an introduction understand their situation startled him about but he'd worry about that later. Since Ristina who was the best actress when need be pretended that she was fainting due to the lack of something to drink. Her soft white Tanisha hands slowly released the glass in her hand, and rolled her eyes almost completely back. The glass hit the floor and shattered but because the music was so loud barely anyone but those around hem heard it. Like a perfect gentleman he offered her arm for her to fall into. The nearly perfect display nearly caused him to laugh.<br/><br/>He then smoothly followed Lady Kate lead him up the marble stairs that seemed to twist in a circle. After that she brought them down a hallway that seemed to have gold laced around it. To finally bring them to a large door that was made of pristine red oak wood. Her hands seemed to wave as they passed through the door , and into the room. He nearly jolted straight into worry when the seemed to shut and lock even though no one was near it. Though he remembered that they needed this meeting to be secret.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Please lay her on the bed."</span>The request was slightly confusing to him since Ristina was only feigning a faint. He could feel his cousin twitching from being unable gentleman and like a true dick he let go of her. Forcing Cristina to have to get up by using her hands , to push off the floor. A small chuckle escaped his lips.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Jerk , but yes I will make it to the bed on my own." </span>The silver fox stress seemed to give an extra glare at him, making sure he knew he'd end up paying for his one day when she takes her true tittle as queen. That was the real reason she was going through all this hell, at least that's what he thought.<br/><br/>" I keep the gentleman stuff for girl's I like dear cousin." He winked at Lady Kate smiling. " and Cristina she is doing you a favor I think , so behave." With that he nearly toppled over in laughter at the idea of his cousin actually behaving for once in her life.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I am a mage healer; everyone is use to me caring for guests. I see you have wounds. No one is using this room. Stay and rest. I am going to call a servant. Have no fear. No questions will be asked.   </span>Kate's words caused his heart to drop. Servants were the worst to call on even if you trusted them they could be betray you. It I something that almost every noble should know at least that's what he thought. Kristina on the other hand seemed to ckench her fist in seething anger at the idea of another person getting a chance to actually see her, and this means one more chance for her to be revealed.<br/><br/>His eyes took note that there was two other doors in the room. One to the left of the bed, and on to the right of the bed. Lady Kate seemed to open the door to he right which he couldn't exactly see to where it opened up to, or to what it opened up for. But when she shut the door and turned around there was a cloth in one hand which was obviously drenched with wit hazel from what he could see.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Use this to clean your wounds. There are nightclothes in the dresser. Don't worry about the dress. Things get misplaced.We will talk tommorow and know that you are safe here.  I am going to summon a servant.  Just tell her you want food and drink. There is a tub in the privey.Make yourself at home." </span>Kate's words seemed almost too genuine for him, it seemed to good he could feel it in his gut. But maybe , a flutter of hope passed through his stomach, that she meant his cousin would be safe here. But that hope soon vanished as he remember the king Atrius was here, and would find some way to ruin this...he was positive that if it threatened his fake crown than it would be an internal war.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">" Do not stay the night with her. You will be expected in your quarters , Sir. I do not want to miss another dance with you. </span>Kate gave a smile to him and his cousin before leaving. He heaved a sigh bowing to his cousin out of natural respect it wasn't like he hadn't had to be forced to bow when he was a child. Just now he chose who he bowed down to.<br/><br/>" My beckon has been calked by Lady Kate , my mistress please don't tear me apart." A joking smile crossed his face. It was an internal joke that when his cousin makes queen she would want him to call her mistress. Just for fun. But none the less he wasn't about to miss a chance to dance with their only possible Ali. " Sleep well, and too ya that scar was too noticeable , my liege. " At least at this point he was just rubbing it in to her.<br/><br/>He then turned around and exited the room , to allow the door to shut , and lock on it's own automatically behind him. Then headed back down the stairs that Kate had took him down. He found her hanging around the punch bowl that always had a common whispered rumor about it. His feet brought him close enough to whisper in her ear. " So about that last dance, I'm assuming I was good enough to dance with my lady. Oh the punch bowl is laced with simpleton rum , and I think you knew that. " He made made sure to give a nice emphasis on this chuckle.
