[color=39b54a]“Yep. But you might get more than you bargained for. Rowan takes her position hella serious. I’d make sure you had a few hours of down time before you ask.”[/color] Evalyn sighed. [color=39b54a]“I asked her for help with a few things and suddenly I was being treated to a history lesson through lunch.”[/color]

[color=fff200]“Evalyn come on! Rowan wanted the design settled by the time she got back!”[/color] Nick threw his pencil at her. [color=fff200]“Let him free for a second while we finish and then we can kick his ass on your console.”[/color] 

[color=39b54a]“Alright, alright.”[/color] Evalyn grumbled. [color=39b54a]“Sorry, gotta fix this up for Rowan fist and then we can hang. Actually you know what, Ryan show Joryldin the games! We can play something when Rowan gives us the all clear!”[/color] Ryan gave her a short salute and slung his arm around the vampire again.

[color=ed1c24]“Got a preference? Video games, board games, you name it we probably got it. We do a lot of waiting around here so all our stuff just sort of accumulates.”[/color] Ryan said as he steered the vampire out of the living room into a bedroom. Various art pieces hung on the wall, drawings and paintings alike. The bed was unmade and clothes were thrown everywhere. The closet was opened but instead of clothes, a horde of neatly organized games sat. Like Ryan said, it seemed like they had a bit of everything.

Five minutes shy of an hour, Salem heard a knock at the door. Two vampires dressed in Noila colors and armed with longswords nodded at the mage, stepping aside to show the car idling behind them. They guided the mage to it, one sitting beside him in the back seat and the other sitting in the passenger seat. 

The car ride was silent. Outside, the Academy pulled away and the forest quickly took its place. Salem’s magic recoiled from the world around it. A sickly stillness sat where the thrum of life usually greeted him and it called to his magic, trying to pull it into its web. Brief glances into the shadows showed roaming patrols. Salem could feel the faint buzz of magic skitter across his skin as the patrols noticed the car. The magic receded as quickly as it had come, the patrols vanishing along with it.

Salem’s magic calmed once a large tudor style mansion broke the darkness. A wrought iron fence surrounded the glowing home and the car pulled up the long drive, just shy of a large fountain. Princess Ryner stood there in a sleeveless red mermaid dress, flowing in tiers for a foot behind her. A slit in the dress’s front showcased her black ankle strap heels, the goldstrap matching the golden and diamond matinee necklace. The guard sitting in front of Salem stepped out to open the mage’s door. Car drove off almost as soon as the mage was out.

[color=bc8dbf]“Welcome, Salem.” [/color]The princess greeted him with a smile. [color=bc8dbf]“Hopefully we’ll see Lucan at the dinner but it seems my sister pulled him away for Council business. Count Sinnenodel and his mage will be joining us shortly but I wanted a few minutes before the Count tries to pick you apart. How are you feeling? The first time you have dinner with the Queen can be nerve wracking I’m told.”[/color]
