After having heard out all that Flynn had to say did he finally give in to his held back laugh, going as far as reaching his hand up to his face, taking a few moments to collect himself before approaching very closely to the bars.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Hnn hnn! Ahaha hahahah… Ahh…" [/b][/color]The blonde finally exhaled, assuming a more laid back expression on his face.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Measure my life? How can you hope to even accomplish that, when you cannot even measure your own worth? Chasing the interpretation of a prophecy which demands your demise? Prophecies can be read in more ways than one. Did it ever cross your mind, that perhaps giving ones life… meant giving oneself to a cause or person. Such as dedication towards someone or a place. As for her family? Well… aren't you part of it now? Whereof you will accept my words as the truth or not. My loyalty towards Dawnhaven and the afflicted ones shall remain as firm as it has been."[/b][/color] He blew some air through his mouth, walking over to pick up his shirt, putting it back on whilst momentarily having his back turned to him, displaying his tattoo in open view.

[color=6ecff6][b]"I knew not of the attack when I spoke to you at the temple. Had she. Whom I am not permitted to speak of… by your majesty's decree. Not taken action to put faith in her own abilities, I would have dealt with that boy right then and there and possibly ended up in here either way. But I do not force others to cross the stream when things take a turn that I do not agree with. To violate the free will of others… is a severe wrongdoing. In this case your other half. But yes. I would have alerted the so called Champion of Aelios or one of the others had I not encountered you there, Red Star. But I did tell you."[/b][/color] He took a moment to remove some strands of blonde hair from his face then continued.

[color=6ecff6][b]"By the sounds of it, you seem to almost blame me for said attack happening. Hardly appropriate. I did not appoint those guards, neither did I command them. A leader is ultimately left responsible for the actions of his or her followers. Some might think it is the duty of a husband to protect his wife. However… that may not be fair considering your many… obligations. I may have said it in a cryptic manner, would you have prefered a barrage of words unleashed in panic? That wouldn't do well for your health, you do have quite the temper, prince. I can tell. Besides I wasn't loitering at the temple, I was visiting the woman I carried out of the blizzard with my own two hands. You may not ask for my advice nor opinions, yet seeing where things are going, how could I possibly not desire to aid the ones that are seemingly trying to aid Dawnhaven? 

It is the place that will decide the fate of this world. In Aurelia right to counsel is earnt by whose best at licking the king's ear or has the most coin. A tyrant on his throne, surrounded by fawning merchants, prancing nobles and silver tongued leeches. I would not count myself amongst them. So perhaps your should ask yourself your own question. What qualifies a person to offer counsel? I think the answer is simple. Telling the truth. No matter how grim. At least that is how it should be..."[/b][/color] He mused softly, adjusting the collar of his shirt.

[color=6ecff6][b]"Trust is a curious thing. You can always however expect people to behave according to their true nature. Once you learnt what that is. Or you can tell yourself not to trust a single soul in this entire world, closing your heart to it completely. The former does seem abit less extreme doesn't it? For starters, why don't you try judge people by their actions like I have with you… gradually having more and more of the real you come out. If you intend to remain loyal to Dawnhaven and be it's leader, then I will follow you to the end, little brother. But if you side with Aurelia against Dawnhaven. Then you and I shall be mortal foes, and if this is, or has always been your intention. Then you've ought to spare us all the charade and go ahead and take me to the execution grounds."[/b][/color] He gave a content soft smile, tilting his head to the side, his eyes turning into slits.

[color=fff200][i]'The lynx in shadows holds a secret truth… buried in it's paw, lies power that you never saw. With a gem that glimmer brighter still, it guards this key with iron will… this token pure and grand, lies cradled in the beast's command...'[/i][/color] The hymn resonated in his mind as he awaited Flynn and Amaya's next move.
