Alessandro was relieved when it was just the three of them alone in the room again, almost everyone he cared for was in this room and it was a relaxing environment indeed. With Rei at his side, snarling at the people who offended the prince, protecting him and watching him, the creature was bizarrely enchanting and incredibly complex. His sweet squire Peter, the boy was more a knight than anyone he knew, had it been up to him he would have Peter knighted tomorrow but the boy had to train and it was the King who chose who could or couldn't be a knight of the kingdom. Lastly his meister, his oldest most loyal friend, the frail old man who taught him words, poetry, morals, if it hadn't been for the Meister he may not have been so calm when Rei had entered his room, if it wasn't for him the prince would have been scared not intrigued. 

"A-are you sure yo-you're okay?" Peter asked, trying to copy Rei despite his uncertainty and kneel beside Alessandro. It made Alessandro uncomfortable having his people at his feet. Rei was different, the fae seemed more comfortable on the floor anyway but Peter? Alessandro wanted to correct the behavior but he didn't have the heart, instead he slipped his hand onto the boys red head and gave his hair a ruffle, the boy turned bright red and chuckled quietly his hands reaching up to gently catch the prince's hand to try and remove it. "I'm fine Peter, don't worry yourself over me. The medicine woman was making a fuss for nothing, you know what she's like." 
"I can go make you some tea if you like?" He said gesturing to the vial, Alessandro smiled faintly and nodded gently, "Alright, I guess it is getting late and all the excitement has left me exhausted." Glancing to the meister he tilted his head slightly, "You need not worry either, I have been in worse states." The meister's face said it all [i]'but you shouldn't be'[/i]. "I promise, my dearest friend, I won't take unnecessary risks, their fear makes them foolish, I'm sure they aren't all bad people." The meister gave an incredulous look and Alessandro could only chuckle. "Not [b]all[/b] of them."

Peter had got up and started straightening some of the furniture and books for the meister, waiting for Alessandro should he need help down the stairs, the meister wrapped a frail arm around the Prince's shoulder and kissed the top of his head, "I am so proud of you, so wise and so kind. I couldn't be more impressed with the man you have become but try not to worry an old man so. It's not good for my heart." He chuckled but Alessandro looked concerned, his dear meister was old and only now did he think of what the excitement could have done to him, with a squeeze to his hand he nodded his agreement. 

Calling Peter over he stood with the squire's help and leaned lightly on the boy who tried to help as awkwardly as he knew how. Looking to Rei the Prince smiled, "We'll head back for now, though you can come here tomorrow if you like, I imagine resting will be all I am good for tomorrow." With soft pleasantries with the meister he, Peter and Rei head down the stairs and back towards the prince's room. The prince walked as upright and normally as possible but from time to time Peter would occasionally have to help the Prince. Once back at the room peter helped him sit at the bed's edge and help him remove his boots. "You shouldn't have to do that Peter."
"It's part of my job, all squire's do this for their masters."
"I find it demeaning, if I was not in so much pain I'd..."
"Don't, please, my prince, m-my king. You've done so much for me, this is nothing, this is an honour to me so please, don't make it seem like a bad thing."
"Alright Peter, I'm sorry. You are such a true and loyal friend, I am so glad to have you." 

Peter helped the prince undress and slipped him under the sheets, making sure he was comfortable. Soon enough he'd gone off to make the tea for the medicine and had left the Prince alone with a small leather bound book of prayers. "Rei, I'm...sorry. I didn't mean to do anything to make you look weak, I just...he was...going to hurt you."
