Jade found wandering the halls with River as her guide to be pleasant. After she had finished her breakfast and they had spent some time talking, River had offered her a guided tour. She had accepted. River, unlike his brother, she thought, was kind and caring. Their first stop was the kitchen.<br/><br/>"No offense friend," Jade began,  "but I'd like to take over the cooking, if you're going to insist that we stay here away from where my father could potentially find us."<br/><br/>River looked amused. "Do you even know how to cook?" He asked.<br/><br/>Jade laughed. "I think I can cook quite well." She said with a smile. "I've never had any complaints at least." She finished.<br/><br/>"Well you're welcome to start with supper tonight then." River offered. "I'll meet you here at five and we can begin."<br/><br/>"Lovely!" Jade flashed him a wide grin. "Shall we continue?"<br/><br/>He showed her the gardens, the stables, and many other places. She noticed that he avoided the library, and for a moment wondered why. Then it occurred to her that Damon must have holed himself up in there.<br/><br/>Finally, they came to the training area. There were a few rings for sparring, a wall lined with weapons. But the first and only thing that Jade saw was Damon and Astaroth, sparring with one another, in the furthest ring. They were so caught up in the fight that neither of them seemed to notice the presence of the two newcomers.<br/><br/>River took notice of where Jade's attention had strayed to and for a moment felt a twinge of panic. "We should go." He whispered, placing a hand on her shoulder.<br/><br/>Jade nodded but didn't move.
