Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

“You can sit on the sofa; I was only messing with you about the smell.” Maisie chuckled as she brought him over a glass of water alongside two painkillers. “This is all I have, but it should help the pain.” Placing them on the table beside him she headed back into the kitchen and started to make some food for them, she had opted for a leftover pie. Pie filled with whatever leftovers she could find, but hot food would be best she doubted they had eaten much.

Grimacing she sighed as she went about making a simple pastry with the ingredients she had in the cupboard, “She didn’t tell me. Ethan did, I’m sure you at least know who he is.” Shaking her head at the mention of Ethan it was clear she was not a fan of him, not in the slightest. “We’ve been friends for as long as I can remember, we’ve been through a lot together.” Contemplating on what they had experienced as a due, nothing had separated them. Unless you counted the amnesia. “They don’t like me, perhaps that’s why they didn’t want me seeing her when she returned in hopes she wouldn’t remember me… buuuut you can’t just forget a bond like that.”

You could hear the sound of utensils rummaging around as she happily baked with ease, “We always liked to bake together. Swore we would own our very own bakery.” Laughing at the memory she shook her head, “You don’t need to know that.” Glancing back at the Prince just to make sure he hadn’t bolted, not that she had expected him to move quickly in his state. Finishing up with the pie she placed it in the over before washing her hands, opening up the fridge she grinned pulling out a beer glad she had some left.

Moving over to Cas she put the beer beside him before sitting herself on the sofa looking at him, “There, it’s all I can offer for now.” Crossing her legs, she tapped her fingers against her arm, “I was so worried about her, I still am.” Sighing as she looked at the door to the bathroom the sound of running water could still be heard, “I can see the way she looks at you…”

Feeling the water hit her skin Iris sighed enjoying the feel, sure she hadn’t gone days without a shower, but it was a stress reliever the running water against her skin. Thankful she could at least enjoy a shower before heading back out into the districts trying to get him back to the Capital. Catching sight of her skin she could see the faint fingerprint marks around her wrist, they were fading but still there. Tracing the outline as she looked at those bruises, she felt a knot in her stomach, a darker part of her screaming that she deserved it. That she deserved to be hurt for everything she had done, that the pain should be a reminder.

Stop it. STOP IT. Gripping her wet hair as she lowered herself down into a kneeling position trying to distract her thoughts, but they weren’t easy to push back. They were haunting her, reminding her that she deserved what was coming to her for what she had done.

Maisie urged them inside closing the door and bolting it shut behind her just in case, her home was modest. It had a kitchen attached to the living room, a separate room for the bedroom and one final one for the bathroom. There were items inside the house the usual like a sofa, table and even a worn old TV but everything looked second hand. Everything was old, worn and clearly not brand new or even remotely luxurious. The house itself was rather brightly coloured, something Maisie had done to make it feel less dingy and damp than it really was. “Iris… Ethan is furious with you. I honestly think he will kill you if he finds you.”

“That’s the problem, he’s at the gate. We can’t get past.” Iris sighed as she moved inside, “I’m sorry to ask this. I didn’t want to get you involved.”

“Don’t apologise, I’ve always got your back okay? What I think is best for the both of you is proper rest in the somewhat warmth with food and drink. We can come up with a plan to get you past that gate.” Maisie smiled as glanced between Iris and the somewhat homeless looking Prince that was with her. “Look, you go have a shower. Clean yourself you are both a state and don’t exactly smell fresh either. I’ll get some food and water in this friend of yours; I think I have some more painkillers then he can shower.” Brown eyes glanced over at the Prince as if assessing on his capability right now.

“No, he can go first.” Iris sighed looking over at Cas, her eyes disobeying her true feelings for him as she felt the care for him, but it was soon washed over with guilt.

“Iris, he needs to rest. I don’t think he could stand in a shower yet. You go first. He can sit and eat and regain some strength before taking his turn.”

“But…”

“Iris.” Maisie frowned speaking a bit sterner as she pushed the girl towards the bathroom, “Go. I’ll get towels, clothes. I’m sure I have some spare that your friend can borrow. It will be fine. I don’t bite~”

Sighing heavily as she felt her friend force her to the bathroom, she slowly nodded knowing it was best, it would mean Cas could take a little rest before grabbing a shower himself and cleaning himself up. The river wasn’t the best for him this morning, but it had done in a pinch. At least there would be hot water here, well warm but not cold. “Fine… I won’t be long. Just… be nice to him. Please.”

Rolling her eyes Maisie moved to the heating cupboard grabbing fresh towels before throwing them at her friend, “Just go.” Happy that her friend was finally looking after herself she turned to Caspain with a smile. “Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you. How about some food and drink?” Not even giving him time to answer she moved towards the kitchen and began rummaging through her cupboards to cook something up for them. “So, what do you fancy? I’ve got rice, bread… ohhh pie. I could make some pie.”

I'm thinking that she will come in and out to help and such. Like a reoccurring role maybe?

Oh gosh bless him!!

Watching as he got the water from the well, she listened to him talk about how the errands were that of hard labour, yardwork and she couldn’t help but smile. It was sweet of him to take the time to care for the elderly, the weak who might not be strong enough to do it themselves. “That’s so kind of you. I’m sure they are grateful for your help. I’d love to assist sometime too. I’m not really strong to do the hard parts, but I’d like to help! As your w-wife.”

Smiling as she nodded at the idea of visiting them, being introduced she felt her face flush slightly because she would be introduced as his wife. “A-Ah… I would like that. T-To visit…”

Moving alongside she glanced at the bucket in his hands, a part of her worried that it was too heavy. That holding her hand was making things worse, but she didn’t want him to let go. The feel of his warm hand in hers was enjoyable even though it made her blush. This is nice, I like this. Feeling the warmth leave her hand as he did finally let go, she clasped her hands together smiling as she followed him along.

“Oh wow, I mean. I suppose I did have my own space. It was always just me and my father.” Haru smiled as she realised how different growing up for them had to have been, “It could get quite lonely though. Father had to go to work. I had to find things to pass the time.” Thinking back on her growing up, she had been quite lonely at times, but she understood why. It was no one’s fault, and she was okay with that.

“You think so?” Haru brightened up at the idea that his parents would love to meet her, she wanted to make a good impression. She wanted them to like her. “I can’t wait to meet to them, I’m sure they are lovely… ahh.” Feeling herself blush even more as she came to the realisation, he had called her pretty. “A-Ah… you think I.. I-I.” Fiddling with her sleeves as she glanced over at him, her heart hammered away in her chest as she looked at him.

“You think I am pretty?” Haru felt her voice go incredibly high at the last part of the sentence, as she finally managed to get her words out after flustering. She felt her cheeks were still red, she felt ever so warm and slightly embarrassed but in a good way.

The Arrangement [Suki & Kassarock]

Ahh awesome! I look forward to your reply!

Ahh I'm glad to hear you are much better!

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

There we go! Cas get's to meet her friend haha

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

“Yeah…” Iris muttered to herself at the mention of one more ally, it was something at least and she knew she could rely on her friend to not give them up. Frowning slightly, she could have sworn she had heard a hint of jealousy? No that’s my imagination. Although she couldn’t stop the warm feeling in her heart at the idea, he was jealous. Maybe there was still something there? Maybe? No. He is going to be a King, I’m a rebel. I’d never be worthy of him. His father would rather me dead I’m sure. Trying to stop herself from getting too excited at the idea there was still something there between them.

“That’s the quickest way back to the Capital. Unless you’re up for some hiking in the woods we will have to wait.” Iris sighed trying to think on another plan, desperately hoping that the rebels had not spotted them. “Him? Oh no, it’s a she. Maisie.” Iris smiled slightly clearing up the fact it was a girl and not a boy, hope rising up on the idea there could be something. No. Stop it. “But… that’s not a bad idea. She might be able to help us.” Whether or not she could Iris knew that she’d at least be able to give them more food and cleaner water than the river.

“It’s worth a shot. Come on, if I remember correctly her house shouldn’t be too far.” Glancing back towards the gate she could see Ethan in the distance, and it looked as if he was shouting at someone, perhaps the rebels at losing Cas? She didn’t know, but she didn’t care. Right now, they had more important things to be doing. As they were in the housing district, she was sure it wouldn’t take too long to find her house, she hoped she wasn’t working today she couldn’t think of what day it was anymore and she didn’t know what her schedule was.

Continuing to walk it took around twenty minutes until she finally reached a run down looking housing complex, it clearly housed a lot of the district and although it looked run down it wasn’t as bad as some of the areas they had passed. Pushing open the main door she knew it never locked, they may have had buzzers to allow people inside, but they never worked. It was all for show. Moving inside holding the door for Cas she headed towards the stairs, carpet was pulling away at the wood and there was a damp smell in the air but otherwise it seemed okay.

Climbing around three sets of stairs she reached a door with a number placed on it, a little mailbox with the name Howard on the outside and she knew she had made it. Maisie Howard, her beloved friend. Knocking on the door she waited for a few minutes to see if anyone was inside, she could har shuffling on the other end of the door and she felt the relief because finally something was going right for her.

“Who is it?”

“Hey… Maisie. It’s me.”

The door flung open and Maisie wrapped her arms around Iris hugging her as she realised it was her friend. The girl in question was short with medium length brown hair tied in a ponytail aqnd bright brown eyes. “Oh… I was so worried. What the hell happened?” Pulling back Maisie glanced at her friend and frowned seeing her cheek, “Who did that?”

“It doesn’t matter. Can you help us?” Iris glanced behind her making sure Casain was still there and that no one had followed them here.
