As Emiri got up, Jaakuna was relieved. It was a clear indication that the antidote worked. Jaakuna wasn’t all that worried, but he probably had a slight doubt in his mind. He did show his relief as he stood up and sort of sniffed in. That was a neurological tendency that he shows when he’s relieved, but doesn’t want to show it via him being embarrassed, which he was at the moment that he did that.

As she did stand up, Emiri was apologizing for being careless. Jaakuna didn’t think she was careless. [b]“What are you talking about? You couldn’t have known that you would get poisoned. Don‘t be sp hard on yourself.”[/b] Jaakuna said as he put her worried to rest; or at least he hoped that he did. 

Hearing her bringing up what they should do now, Jaakuna was certainly at a stalemate. He was in agreement with her about how the two biggest empires of Ivalice were after them. And she was right about him not really being for hiding, but not like he had much of a choice. He did know that eventually they would have to tackle this, but it was late and Jaakuna was wiped and so was Emiri, he’s assuming.

[b]“Let’s figure out what to do in the morning.” [/b]Jaakuna said as he started walking past Emiri. [b]“Go get some sleep.”[/b] He said as he had stopped the ship just a few miles west of the Royal City of Rabanastre. The magical chain that kept the ship in park, so to speak, was launched to the desert below and the invisible cloak was still in place. As Jaakuna did that, he instantly passed Emiri, again, and went towards the elevator that went only to his room and to the bridge/cockpit area. He did that and within a minute he was at his [url=http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lqdIbwKOPR0/TiEEgc8YJ0I/AAAAAAAACC0/wtDQiXJaAC8/s640/Royal-Bedroom-Interior-Ideas1.jpg]room.[/url] Once he got to his room, he took off his jacket, weapons, pants, shoes(and socks), and nothing was left but his red and white boxers. He just went for his bed, taking some of the blanket off so he can get into it and as he clapped, the AC was on, lights went off, and to dreamland he went.

[I]8 hours later[/I]

It’s morning in the Archadian Empire and it has not been a very fun morning in any sense of the word. Word has been crossed to Vincent that Savayna was not only unsuccessful in retrieving Jaakuna or the ship Ifrit, but she caused some unhappy times in Bhujerba. Of course, Vincent didn’t even think she would go that far to obtain Jaakuna. Like seriously taking nine soldiers to the neutral city that both the Rozarrian AND Archadian Empires both need on their side. Vincent wasn’t happy about that when he read it from his brother, Marquis Roman’s report. Nevertheless, a meeting with her would be had.

In his [url=http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110605153602/finalfantasy/images/c/cb/Emperors_office.png]office or throne room[/url], as some would call it, there sat Vincent, arms bent on the big table and fingers laced together. Only his piercing red eyes were seen as he was leaning forward slightly and a very upset expression on his face. 

Suddenly, three somewhat loud knocks were at his door. [b]“Come in.“[/b] He spoke aloud.

It was Michelangelo. He walked in, and also walked down the carpet, stopping at the three steps that are before the table. [b]“Your grace.”[/b] He said, bowing before Vincent. [b]“My boss, and your sister-in-law, Savayna Glacie is outside as you requested.” [/b] He said, announcing that Savayna was waiting outside.

He let out a single chuckle. [b]“Good. Send her in, would you Michel?”[/b] He said.

Michel bowed and nodded. 

Within a few minutes, Michel would leave his grace’s office, and outside waiting would be Savayna, obviously not happy. [b]“Go in.” [/b]Michel said.

Savayna hissed as she and Michel walked passed each other in opposite directions. They gave each other looks as if there was some bad blood between them. Michel stopped her. [b]“If I were you, I would beg for mercy.”[/b] Michel said, his voice in a very threatening tone. 

Savayna just shrugged what Michel said. It was within a minute or so that she entered, walked down the carpet. Her armor click and clacking in noise. Stopping in front of the three steps before Vincent’s table, she spoke. [b]“Your grace. “[/b] She said as she bowed.

Vincent was upset at her, but not angry. [b]“Oh, Savayna, my dear sister-in-law, what am I to do with you?” [/b]He said as he stood up, hands locked behind his back.

Savayna was starting to be fearful of Vincent. [b]“Whatever it is you wish of me, your grace.”[/b] She said.

Vincent rounded around his desk and in front of Savayna as he was in front of his own desk. He leaned against it. [b]“I gave you a simple order and that was to retrieve my brother and my father’s ship, but you couldn’t even do that right. “[/b] He said, his tone at a very intimidating type. [b]“Tell me, why should I even keep you as my top General? You obviously can’t get one job done and then you have the audacity to both bring soldiers to the neutral city of Bhujerba, but you brought fear to my older brother’s people.”[/b] He said as he had finished what he had to say. Hearing what she had to say would be something he’s interested to hear.

She was shaken up…and surprised. Savayna thought that Roman would have included the hostage situation in his report, but he didn’t. That confused Savayna, but she was also happy that he didn’t. That meant that she would just have to come up with an excuse of some kind to get out of this slight mess she has dug herself in. 

[b]“Well, your lordship, I just thought that maybe the extra muscle would be able to squeeze out information from your brother. I see now that I was wrong in thinking so. For that, you have my deepest apologies. “[/b] She said, bowing her head. 

Vincent wasn’t pleased with her answer, but he would accept it. Obviously she was just doing what she thought was right, but that’s the problem. [b]“Savayna, I put trust in you. I give you my men with full authority and this is how you repay me?”[/b] He walked up to her., stopping just inches away from her. [b]“I’m going to have to teach you a lesson about respect. “[/b] He said turning around, hands still behind his back. [b]“Strip.”[/b]

Her icy-blue eyes widened. The feeling of fear, dread, and excitement was all rolling up in one big bag of emotions. [b]“W-w-what?” [/b]She spoke.

[b]“You heard me. Remove your clothing for me now.” [/b]He said as he turned her head around to her direction.

Despite her being totally against it, Savayna did it by first removing her armor, which took a few minutes, then she started to remove her dress. Slipping it off one strap at a time, she was reduced to her bare bra and underwear, which shared an icy-blue and silver shade. [b]“Here, happy?” [/b]She said, turning away.

Vincent turned around, displeased. [b]“All of it.” [/b]He looked at her with displeasure.

[b]“You can’t be serious!?”
“Oh but I am. Now, do it.”[/b]

At this point, Savayna was in tears. Crying each time she had to remove a strap from her bra. After she did that, she then removed her panties, showing nothing but her birthday suit. [b]“Does this please his lordship?”[/b] She said, turning her head away.

[b]“Come here!”
“Yes your grace.”[/b]

As she walked over to him, he took her, wrapping his arms around her bare body. He embraced her, and she, for a moment, was happy. She embraced him too, and then things took a nasty turn. He bent her over his table, and slapped her ass. The sound of it rippled through the empty room. His lower body pressed against hers, his upper-body leaned forward, his head(his mouth) near her ears. “Is this how my brother did it?” He whispered in her ear.

By this point, Savayna had shock and disgust all over her face and in mind. She couldn’t believe it. She turned around, but the force that Vincent had on her was too much. She couldn’t break free. She tried as hard as she could, but she just couldn’t.

[b]“Stop it, Vincent! STOP IT!”[/b] She yelled at the top of her voice.

Vincent turned her around, and with a forceful knee, he drove it right into her gut. As a result, she grasped her gut and fell to her knees. Vincent laughed slightly.

[b]“NEVER call me by my name ever again.” [/b]Vincent said as he was at ear-level with her. “Now, put some clothes on. You look pathetic.” He said as he turned to the balcony and waved her away.

She couldn’t believe what kind of man he was. So ashamed of herself, she quickly put her bra and panties on as well as her dress and then her armor, and she ran away, crying as she did so. She forced her way through the doors and as she ran past Michel, she didn’t stop. He saw that she was crying. He was speechless. He didn’t know what happened in there, but definitely it wasn’t something that he wished to know, at least not yet.
