T’charrl had no clue to where the musician had gone until he was told he had been found much later, finding it most unusual. He didn’t think it was possible to lose your way if you were invited to come to a city but then again it sounded as if the guy came without a guide and evidently ran into the same problem he did when he first arrived on the planet again. He really didn’t know what to make of the highly aggressive stance the soldiers were taking here, especially to a man with a lute. He should probably talk to his father about that, but not just now. He was definitely not sure how that was supposed to be welcoming to travellers and not seen as hostile at all by the other kingdoms, even if they had a security problem with a few rebels here and there. Resting on a crutch he frowned as he stared at the musician, his eyes going to Takeshi momentarily before he looked back to the musician, giving a nervous smile. His mother definitely was one for granting mercy to those who deserved it, but he did wonder how the guards were after they were found out by her. Only hoping there was no bad blood between them he let out a sigh, slowly rubbing his head. “I hope things are okay now, though. She, uhh…she’s very good at showing why she’s Queen”, he smiled nervously before frowning, “I hope this hasn’t soiled your desire to return here again. We’re just getting over a rather large conflict and uhh, the extra security is necessary for a while…but you’re welcome to stay in one of the guestrooms next time you come here! Your own personal guards too!”

Shu didn’t know what was going on but was keeping close to Takeshi, not entirely sure what to make of the Kaesstrian with the strange item. He hadn’t seen anything like it before and was definitely curious, but not curious enough to try and touch it. If only he knew what its purpose was and why he had it, but maybe it was best that he stayed curious and didn’t find out. He had so much to worry about and he was sure it was going to get worse, but luckily he was with Takeshi and hopefully that would be enough protection for him. He was a little tired but he could keep awake for his friend, not exactly used to how long the Kaesstrian days were. He was used to staying up until the sun went down and getting to sleep before any full moon decided to show itself. He really wasn’t sure if this planet had a moon but he was not going to take any risks and go to sleep when he could. There was so much that frightened him and forced him to take precautions, but it was all for his own good and for the safety of others.
