Freshly shaved, showered and dressed, Cuyler hopped off the deck of the Hefring and landed on the dock below with a loud thud. He breathed in the air around him, feeling invigorated and headed into the Castle. Thia trotted along beside him, her eyes looking over to the horizon every few seconds. The hour before sunset she was always anxious. The change bristled around her and she would grow easily agitated as well. 
Cuyler remained in high spirits as he neared the Palace. He hoped Arya was still inside. He felt changed and there was only more change to come for the Northern Trader and son of Klara. He was truly going to try and heed Klara’s words in regards to listening to Arya and being accomodating to her and what she needed out of this relationship but there were things Cuyler needed as well. Support for one. He could understand her caution, it was warranted with her position and personality but he still dreamed of some support from his girlfriend. 
Cuyler reached the front doors to the Palace and looked over at Thia. 
[color=pink]”Du kjenner boret,”[/color] he told her. [color=pink]”Jeg skal finne deg etter bryllupet,”[/color] he said. Cuyler looked back at the doors, smoothed out his shirt and stepped forward. The guards didn’t hesitate to let Cuyler in. One even smiled and handed him a piece of candy! Bewildered, Cuyler slipped the candy into his pocket before he headed in. 
[color=pink]”Could you tell me where the library is?”[/color] he asked them, turning back to look at the guards but they were too busy eating candy and throwing it at each other, trying to get it into the others mouth. Shaking his head, he looked around the vast building that was the Palace and started in some random direction, hoping he would come upon the library. 
No such luck was on Cuyler’s side as he ends up going the wrong way and happens upon a tiny girl with toy wings on. She has a ribbon with her and starts running in circles around him. 
"Hey, hey listen! Hey what are you doing? Why aren't you listening to me? Listen, listen!" The ribbon wraps around Cuyler’s legs and causes him to trip and she laughs at him. "Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.” 
Cuyler stares up at the ceiling before he hoists himself up onto his elbows and looks at the small child. 
[color=pink]”Tell you what. I will listen to whatever you have to say, only if you help me? Deal?”[/color]
The little girl, better know at Navi looked at him and nodded, before giggling and she started to squirm. "I gotta go potty!" 
Cuyler’s eyes widened before he shifted and untangled the ribbon from around his ankles and stood. 
[color=pink]”Oh, okay… Do you know where the… potty is?”[/color] he asked awkwardly. 
Navi nodded, giggling. "But do YOU know where it is, Silly Rabbit? Do ya do ya do ya.? Hey why are you here? You don't look like you're from the Castle? Are you evil? Are you from the Snow Palace? Are ya? Hey why aren't ya listening to me?!"
Cuyler looked at her in disbelief, chuckling and shaking his head. He suddenly missed his sister, terribly so. 
[color=pink]”No I’m afraid I don’t. I don’t even know where the library is… I’m from the Land of Lost Nights. And I am listening. I just can’t talk as fast as you,”[/color] he said smiling at her. 
"So you're an idiot!" the little girl screamed, before she peed her pants. Poor Cuyler ended up getting caught by the pee puddle. He frowned as well, not from her mess really but more from her abrasiveness. 
[color=pink]”Let’s go get you cleaned up okay?”[/color] Cuyler said and looked around for a female servant of some kind. 
"Hey why aren't you listening to meeeee?!" Navi screamed, as if she had asked him something. She started jumping up and down, causing the pee puddle to splash and hit Cuyler's ankles. There were a few female servants walking down the halls with fresh linens. 
Cuyler took a step back to be prevented from getting hit more. Thankfully he was wearing boots that could easily be cleaned. He saw female servants with linens and waved them over. 
[color=pink]”Sorry to disturb but we’ve had a bit of an accident. Would one of you mind taking her to the bathroom to get cleaned up? I can clean the mess here and you wouldn’t happen to know where the library is either would you?”[/color] he asked hopeful. 
The servants looked at him for a moment. "Amarantha said we mustn't speak to strange men, Dot!" one hissed to the other and they scurried out of sight. 
"Ha ha you're a loser!" Navi teased. "Amarantha can kick your butt! That's B U T T E!"
Cuyler sighed, exasperated now. If he knew this area better… 
Amarantha and Lennox were making their way down the hallway when they came across an interesting sight. Amarantha sized up the man and noticed Navi. Or rather heard her. She was… a pain honestly but one of Amarantha’s biggest fans and who was she to deny a small girl. Especially when she wanted to grow up and be like Amarantha. 
[color=#006400]”Navi! Is this man intruding where he does not belong? Are you defending the Castle?”[/color] she questioned the small child with wings. She used the same voice she would have used with Navi’s parent or any of the other guards under Amarantha’s eyes. 
"YEAH!" Navi screamed, beating her little fists now on Cuyler's knees. It was fortunate that she wasn't taller since otherwise it might have been somewhere else. "He peed his pants too and is totally GROSS! G-R-O-S-S-E! He's got the [b]Sickenesse[/b] aaaand cooties! That's like double bad!"
Amarantha smirked, crossing her arms, completely content to watch the little one beat up Cuyler. She saw the puddle on the ground and noted Navi’s proximity to it. Ah well, the child was still learning. 
[color=#006400]”That’s my girl and it’s g-r-o-s-s Navi, no E at the end. Come here, you have done a fine job. Let’s let Lennox try his hand at him shall we?”[/color] 
Cuyler meanwhile was starting to get a little anxious. He watched the new people and watched the man beside Amarantha walk over to him and eye him up and down a moment. 
[color=pink]”I don’t have the [b]Sickenesse[/b],”[/color] he said panicked now. Amarantha merely laughed at him and took Navi’s hand. 
[color=#006400]”Don’t get my dress dirty. I’ve already had to change this once,”[/color] she said and bent down. [color=#006400]”He already peed himself once today,”[/color] he informed the girl with a grin in Cuyler’s direction. [color=#006400]”Go on to the infirmary Navi. There’s a girl named Lyra there, she’ll help you change and get ready for the wedding. I want you upfront with me understand? You have to look your best ya?”[/color]
"Oooh can I wear the blood of our enemies? PWETTY PWEEEEEASE?!" Navi did a little twirl. Amarantha smiled brilliantly at the little girl. 
[color=#006400]”Now Navi, this is a wedding. We must be at our best during this ceremony. Strength is important yes, but we mustn't frighten the guests. Although I do like where your head is at. Now go, time is wasting. Don’t make me ask twice.”[/color]
Navi listened obediently and took off. With the child gone Amarantha refocused her sharp eyes on Cuyler. 
[color=#006400]"You do know the wedding is not in the Palace? What are you doing here? Looking to soak your girlfriend again perhaps?"[/color] she questioned him. 
Cuyler stood proudly. Things had changed for him in the last hour, he wasn't going to let him be bullied down. 
[color=pink]"I was informed she was in the library. Merely looking for it and got lost."[/color] Amarantha eyed him closely. She remembered how he reacted to her keeping him from Arya, ignoring the water bit he seemed to be all about her. 
Amarantha started walking and Cuyler quickly followed, realizing that this was his invitation to do so. Lennox remained half a step behind Cuyler, hand on the hilt of his sword, ready should the Land of Lost Nights native try anything. 
[color=#006400]"The Library,"[/color] Amarantha stated a short distance after. [color=#006400]"Do try not to soak this room ya? Lots of expensive books in there. Not to mention the Queen and [b]ExtraOrdinary[/b] Wizard."[/color] She looked at the Queen's guards who stood vigilant outside the door. [color=#006400]"Let him in but if you hear any signs of commotion, move in and contain the situation."[/color] She nodded at Lennox and they continued on with their journey.
