"It was simple, The Tea Spread like Wild Kudzu among the ranks of the Guards. I'd be surprised if there were any who weren't affected at all if they took so much as a Sip." Ritsu said with a Smirk before his Tail Twitched in Agitation, "I can hear Cassius' footsteps coming closer...along with Footsteps I don't recognize...." The Princess' Chambers opened and Standing there were Cassius, the Princess, and Two Guards that looked like they definitely weren't guards.

"Well Either the Jig is Up or Things are Working out better than expected, Princess." Ritsu said with a Slight Bow before looking at Cassius with a Smirk, "Cassius I take it things are not going to be as simple as they look.... Who're the Newbies? Oh I brought you a Little Something special, Just in Case." Ritsu added as He Tapped his Chest and Manifested a Satchel which he handed to Cassius.

Hitori bowed before the Princess, "My Lady, you have grown Well. I Hope you still enjoy stories, it looks like yours is about to reach its first Turning point." Hitori said as he made a Small Illusion of a Songbird like he used to when he was Garnet's Storyteller. With the pleasantries aside Hitori acted as an Escort for the Princess as they went to their Chambers, her Surprise on Seeing Karn and Ritsu both there in her Room equally Surprised Hitori.

"Well, Looks like We aren't alone." Hitori regarded Karn and could smell she was a Demi-Human of Feline Lineage, She seemed interesting and like she could possibly be useful in all this. It was then Hitori saw Ritsu and his heart froze....What was another one of the Souless doing here...Wait a minute...This One had a Soul. Oh Dear this one Definitely had a Soul, Hitori extended his Claws as he kept his eye on the Monkey.

"Cassius...Who is that..." Hitori Asked, not once taking his eyes off Ritsu.

"Oh Dear, Cassius is that a Man-eater?" Ritsu said in reference to Hitori.

"Don't Call me a Man-Eater, Soul Sucker!" Hitori countered.

"WHAT!" Ritsu had never been called a Soul Sucker.
