It had been quiet until the blonde woman entered the room. Her voice was calm but there was something off with her posture and the way she presented herself to them. Andi wondered what was wrong with the woman until the name 'Roman' appeared again. He was the tall man, wasn't he? For a few moments Andi wondered if the tall man had been hurt but she let the thoughts drop quickly. When the woman left Andi sat on one of the plush chairs that was pushed against the wall before rubbing the scars on her neck. It was a habit she had formed over the years when she was in deep thought. Camille had often commented on the habit and Andi had only ever joked about it. Was she presentable in a throne room? Her dress with its tattered and dirty hem hardly seemed worthy to be in such a grand place. Her clothes still smelled of animal blood from her latest job and she didn't think that she could keep on hiding her scars with her hands or her hair. Her makeshift bandage had been lost in the scuffle and without it she felt nude. Her neck was almost always covered up by something. After a few moments of thinking things over Andi made her decision. "Take me to the throne room."

Roman had been patched up with a few stitches before the doctor quietly left the room to allow the King to talk to Roman. It was more of a one-sided conversation than anything else. Roman was quiet like always although he answered when he felt it was necessary. He assumed that being asked about how he was injured would count towards needing to speak up. "I was protecting her." Roman sat a little straighter and looked at the King. "I was making sure that she or the human woman would not fall into harm's way." They never agreed on what was best for Ophelia. Roman wanted her to be free to make her own choices and to fight her own battles. Her father on the other hand, wanted his daughter to live a sheltered life where she was never harmed and if any harm was to come, there would be someone else to take it. With the rift growing between the two men it was hard for many people to be in the same room as them. They cast a heavy shadow over everyone and everything. "She is my daughter." The king hissed out. His eyes narrowed as he studied Roman with a cold stare. "She does not need your so called protection!" It was no surprise that the king placed his daughter's safety above all else, his wife had perished many years ago and he did not want the same fate for his daughter. Roman was quiet as the king sized him up once more. "You will no longer guard her." He spat out. "It's obvious that you can't even protect yourself." With that the king stalked out of the room, leaving Roman in silence.

So I forgot to ask but what's the relationship between the King and Roman? I get that the King really doesn't like him but I don't know if there's more to it or not. I'm working on a reply right now but it might be really short.

Physical contact had never been something that she enjoyed. The last time she had been grabbed by someone, they had greedily sucked the blood from her veins. She was uneasy when the pretty blonde linked their arms together but she swallowed down the bubble of nervousness and prayed that finally she would be helped. Her life was not ideal, it was not the kind of life that anyone wanted, it was not a beautiful tragedy; it was one that she would not wish on her greatest enemy. It was hell. The cold night air soothed her nerves slightly as she took a deep breath and gently exhaled it. Since that day so many years ago she had learned to fight for her life. If these people were willing to help her to live to see another morning then she would gladly go with them. The hunters wanted to exterminate her like a rat hiding in the nooks and crannies of their home. She was not some miracle child that had remained perfectly human. She was a pest just like the prey the hunters chased. As she was passed to another, she looked around at the scene before her. The tall man from before caught her attention; he was looking past her at the blonde woman with a darkening expression. He was waiting for the right moment to strike. His muscles were tensed to the point where Andi found herself rubbing her arm as a reaction. "I told you that there were things out at night that could even hurt you." The voice of the brunette woman caught Roman off guard. His eyes moved from Ophelia for a few seconds to the brunette woman before the sounds of a small scuffle reached his ears. The princess was capable to handling herself but he couldn't help but to react. Roman angrily grabbed one of the hunters by the throat as he went in to ambush the princess from behind. This was the side that Roman fought to control, the one that he feared the most. In his younger days he had been involved with an underground gambling ring that pitted people against each other in fist fights. Roman had made a name for himself, the money wasn't bad and he had kept it hidden from the princess for a while. He could explain the bruises and split lips until she had grown suspicious. After a confrontation with Ophelia about his gambling habits he quit and resigned himself to simple card and dice games. The wriggling man in Roman's grasp was scratching at his hand with blunted nails. Although his feet were firmly planted on the ground the man was kicking around, determined to get away. His shoes dug into Roman's feet and shins in his attempt to free himself. "STOP!" A scream made Roman release the man. He crumpled into a wheezing heap on the ground and the tall man turned towards the sound of the voice. It was the dark haired woman. She was shaking and there were tears in her eyes. Why hadn't Drake left with the woman when he was ordered to do so? Why had the woman been allowed to see this? Roman delivered a swift kick to the downed man before turning his attention to Ophelia. It was in that instant that another hunter, one that had been tucked away in the shadows like Roman had been, chose to reveal himself. He swung at Roman and it took a few moments for the weapon to register in Roman's mind. It was a dagger. The sharp sting of a fresh cut and welling blood made Roman jump back. His arm was bleeding through the dark coat he chose to wear. He had managed to dodge further injury thanks to the crumpled man on the ground. He had reached out to his comrade for help, only to accidentally trip the man. The wound on Roman's arm wasn't very large or deep, but it was in an area of his arm that made moving it difficult. He wouldn't be able to protect Ophelia with a half working arm. He knew from years of experience that some hunters liked to wound their prey with daggers or swords before moving in with their wooden stakes. One of Roman's old gambling buddies met an unfortunate end that way. The downed man finally stood up and charged once more at Roman, only to be met with a rock to the side of the face. The blow wasn’t enough to do much beyond stun the man for a few moments. The brunette still hadn't left. Anger flared within Roman, Drake was supposed to be at the castle by now with the human in tow. He didn't know why they were standing there instead of running. Andi ducked when the rock was chucked back at her. It had been stupid of her to demand to stay but the blonde was the first person in a while to be nice to her. She wanted to help them. Camille flashed in her mind before she took a step back and clenched her hands at her sides to stop their shaking. It had been a lucky hit with the rock and she was sure that she couldn't do it again. "Take her and run!" Roman shouted at the dark haired male.

So I took a mini break from roleplaying and I probably should have told you but I never seem to tell my partners anymore and I'm sorry. I will try to have a reply up soon, either tomorrow or so.

Okay! Was there any particular way you wanted this to go down with the hunters?

Roman sighed and looked into the dark cup before him. Understandably the younger male was on edge but Roman wished that he would learn to pay attention to the silent cues. Often non-verbal communication was the preferred method between Roman and Ophelia. One day the younger male would catch on. He had opened his mouth to begin telling the younger male of what he knew about the clan but he was cut short when the man's attention went elsewhere. "They are a clan of hunters, or were; no one knows what happened to them. Their history is deeply rooted into the history of the feuds between our kinds." Roman crossed his arms over his chest as he watched everything happening down the road. Unlike the younger male, Roman would not intervene until given an order or if he felt things were going too far. Many accused him of not caring enough for the princess or her safety. Roman cared, he cared probably a lot more than he should have but they didn't understand why he was so distant with her. The brunette woman looked up at the blonde with widened eyes. Not many people freely approached her with kind tones. She had been expecting harsh, biting words that would leave a stinging in her heart but there were none. Instead the woman had offered her a hand. Andi reached out to clasp her hand but dropped it when the man spoke. Her attention flicked to the man for a few seconds before she turned her gaze back to the woman. This woman is odd...she is one of them yet she is...so different... Andi had dealt with the woman's kind on one than more occasions after her initial attack. They had propositioned her, as she seemed to be immune to their venom and they would be able to freely bite her without the worry of her turning. Some were rude, others were quite vile and they brought on spells of panic. There had been one though, a woman, who had offered her bed in exchange for a few little sips here and there. Andromeda had been desperate and the woman had offered her another option, one that was safer. She had lived with that woman, Camille, for three years. Those three years had been the best of her life. Camille had been so attentive and kind and warm. She had given Andi a home and someone to love. Camille had made her nightmares stop. That happiness hadn't lasted forever though, and like all of her other encounters with hunters, Camille had been taken away from her and their shared home burnt to the ground. The brunette woman pulled away from her thoughts when the woman's voice called to someone else. Looking up she found a dark haired man who lacked a ring. Andi studied him for a few moments before turning her attention back to the blonde woman. "Not really." Andi didn't know the men personally but she did know them by name, or at least what she thought were their names. They had been following her for a while now and she had learned a bit about them. "But I do know that that man over there has a daughter and a son, twins. And that one was orphaned at a late age but wants to build his family back up..." When the men got too close for Roman's comfort he casually made his way to the forming group. He stayed far enough away from the group to remain largely unnoticed but the distance between them would be nothing if he was called into action. The brunette stood to her full height and honestly Roman thought she would have been much taller. Andi pressed her back further into the brick wall behind her and her heart began to race wildly. Conflict usually brought on bouts of panic for her.
