William stepped aside as the other two men returned to their duties as Lhurriel had suggested, though he turned his eyes back to Hawk as he was certain the man was up to something. As soon as Lhurriel had suggested a ride on her new magicycle, William figured Rohwik was the one that underlyingly suggested it.<br/><br/>"Why Lady-Mage," Rohwik said, appeasing her quip of addressing her so as not to crush any chances of his chance to win a ride, "I couldn't possibly think to intrude, but since you greatly insist, I would love to."<br/><br/>Rohwik was not at all hesitant to prop himself on the seat of the sparkling new 'cycle. The cushion was quite comfortable as he climbed aboard to take his place behind Lhurriel, grinning all the while. If only it were his he wouldn't let the darling cycle see the inside of a shed.<br/><br/>"Lady-Mage," William spoke out, stepping up to the pair on the cycle, both of them unmistakably eager to get it out on the road, "Do you think that this is a good idea? After all, the evening meal is to be prepared soon."<br/>"Oh stop being such a white knight, William!" Rohwik jeered, "It's only a short test run. We can't have Lady-Mage Lhurriel continue the journey with a faulty magicycle. And how can we know if it will run well without giving it a good run?"<br/>"Firstly, Hawk," William retorted, "It is most certainly possible there is time for it in the morning - IF they had not already check the magicycle here thoroughly already. Secondly, leaving the grounds without first informing Kaeden? He could have your head for that, you know. Third of all, from what Lady Lhurriel had told us of this place and the specifications of her magicycle, it seems that it's been made not only up to their best standards, but overly so. So if you think about it, there really is no need to take it out for a run as it has been built with precision, care, and extreme consideration to its rider."<br/><br/>William nodded sagely at his deductions knowing, without question, that he was right. Unfortunately, Rohwik didn't see the situation through his eyes. Hawk turned to his companion and raised a brow to accompany the smirk on his lips.<br/><br/>"William," he replied, "You truly need to have more fun with less books, my friend. As for Kae. Well, that's why you're here! Let him know that we'll be back in time for the meal."<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kaeden followed Corsair out of the library and then made his way up the stairs back toward his room. Before he placed the map on the table next to the bed, he opened it up once more glancing at the embedded crystals. He hoped to himself that his suspicions were wrong and that they would veer from the trail the crystals drew out. He glanced further east along the map, eyeing the place he feared they would go. His eyes narrowed in dark reverie for a moment and then he closed the parchment, setting it aside for a later time.<br/><br/>Turning to his bedside, he reached into one of the pouches on the mattress pulling out a simple comb. Kaeden always tied his hair back tightly when in the presence of power. Loose hair, to him, seemed something more appropriate among his men rather than in times that called for etiquette. He ran the comb through his strands a few times before replacing the band, pulling his tresses into a tight tail secured at the base of his skull. He straightened his tunic before a mirror and stepped out into the hall again. He was presentable. Kaeden rapped lightly on the door just right of his. Almost immediately, Tolan answered the door.<br/><br/>"Supper should be on the table quite soon." Kaeden informed.<br/>Tolan nodded, "Alright, I'll let Ghestin know and we will be down soon. Have William and Hawk returned from their tour with Lady Lhurriel?"<br/>"I haven't seen them, but I'm sure that Lord Atadel will have someone fetch them soon. The two still need to get themselves cleaned up before sitting for a meal."<br/><br/>Tolan slipped back into his room to dress a little more formally for the meal and Kae stepped down the stairs once more, keeping an eye out for someone who could possibly direct him to the dinning room.
