Odelina sat down. She thanked the men for helping them. She looked around a bit. She loved the garden. When she was younger her dad would tell her about the royal garden. It had been even prettier when she finally got to see it but saddening of the circumstances.

As the group of nagging woman managed to even find him there he quickly retreated to the garden. "Prince Dorian please! We only wish to talk!" They called after him. Taking Dexion's hand in his he quickly pulled them both about a corner and into a bush. It was a bit of a squeeze for the both of them but the woman all seemed to pass without seeing them. Blushing a bit he climbed back out, helping Dexion as he did. The elf was blushing as well.
"Are you alright?" He asked softly placing a hand under the elf's chin.
"Yes master." Dexion answered fighting the gentle hand before finally submitting. Their eyes met for a moment before Dorian made his move. Pulling the elf close they shared a small kiss. When he pulled away his face was a deep red color.
"How about a walk about the garden then?" The prince suggested offering his elbow to his partner. Dexion gave an awkward smile before taking the elbow and walking side by side with Dorian. The walk didn't last long as they found their way to Lidia and her slave. "Fancy meeting you two here." Dorian called letting go of the elf's hand. "Sneaking away from the guests as well?"

She dismissed the two politely before settling down. "Soooo, Odelinnaa.", Lidia asked playing with a fork. "Is there any youn spry men out there wishing to dance with you tonight?" She had taken a bite of her pancakes already, and ws waiting for an answer.

Amias set the bandages down, and he couldn't help the wave of shame that rolled over him because he was letting Riften see him like this.
"I-I can do without the mask... It's just a silly piece of bone anyway... I would have to take it off before the ball anyways." He said softly, finally looking up at him for the first time. "Besides, I don't think I mind you seeing my face. It's only fair for me not to hide from you."
Amias took the roll of bandages, finishing the wounds on his arms before he put the new shirt on.
"You're not supposed to be here, Riften. Grift won't like that."

Ahh, oops, I didn't get too read your reply, sorry))

Lidia jumped, looking up from her conversation. "Oh, hello, Dorian!", She smiled, waving at her brother. "I was just treating ode to a meal, care to join us?" She fixed her dress again, it was getting under her poots which was uncomfortable.

To avoid some of the more nosey guests he was eventualy forced to jump out of the window that was leading to the garden, he wasn't going to deal with entertaining the guests just yet this chore would have to wait until the ball officialy start.

Landing swiftly between two bushes of flowers he scaned the area and caugh a glimps of his brother and sister, a playfull smirk made it's way on his face as he started to move slowly out of their sight, his brain already coming out with a plan to prank them.

(Why do I hear the gay train pulling in?? XD))
"Hey, Amias, it's okay, you'd never beleivethe amount of pain I've endured as well.", Riften whispered, fixing his friend's hair. "I know you've gotten more than I have, but we are in it together, right?"
Riften smiled at his friend. It was weird seeing his face for once, but he didn't mind. Riften new the effects of looking him in the eye, but right now he ignored that and enjoyed his friend. "I do advise that you keep a cloth covering your eyes so you don't accidentally hurt somebody.", Riften heeded, handing him the tie.

"Well since you suggested it." He said pulling a chair out for Dexion. Nervously the elf sat before Dorian did. "Such a lovely party isn't it?" The prince groaned a bit sitting back in his chair. Dexion kept his head down and his hands clasped in his lap. After a moment Dorian took his hand in his own holding it gently. Shocked Dexion looked down but tightened his grip on the hand. This made him feel a bit better knowing that he wasn't alone, nor that he should be afraid right now.

Odelina looked at Lidia. She giggled a bit. She couldn't help but notice how red Dexion and Dorian were and could easily tell why. She mouthed the words, aren't they cute, to Lidia and nodded in the couple's direction. She then looked back at the breakfast she had been given, doing her best not to giggle any more.

The princess chuckled at her brother's sarcasm. "Odelina knows about our plan and is on board with it.", Lidia whispered to her big brother, leaning in some. "Tonight will be a beautiful one, though I will tell you my motives for the guard's drink when we aren't in such an open area." Lidia played with her fork once more, smiling softly.
