Okay I guess I'm waiting on you to get her a pic and write up the first post. :)

Orren looked at the young maiden and wondered if she might have the stamina to stay. "Mistress Erenborn, may I ask, why did you accept this position? I know the pay is above average but that is because James is so hard to look at." He grinned at his friend opting to keep things as light as possible around the young lady. "I am quite impressed that you chose to stay after seeing his disfigured form."

He offered her a chair near where he was eating and James promptly set a place setting for Adelina. James pulled the large platter of food towards her so she might reach it as Orren spoke. Smiling at her slightly he spoke plainly.

"Mistress Erenborn I am in fact the disfigured one, not my friend here. What questions do you have about me? I will answer them to the best of my ability. Truly the fault is my own and I would not wish to scare you." James backed out of the room quietly but stayed in earshot in case he was called for.

Blaque, Darric and Willard at the base

Not too long after leaving the Orphanage, Blaque was still carrying along the box he took from Caretaker's office with intent on discovering just what the hell was in it. With the children heading another route, Blaque trusted in the people that he sent them to to take care of the rest.

Now he could focus on this situation with Father Francis. He had not heard back from Darric since he left the orphanage but trusted he was okay. It was already a risk sending Paige in and both he and Paige knew the risks but went along with it anyway. He already knew Darric was not thrilled and whatever happened, Blaque said he would take responsibility for it as he had the say so whether or not she should have gone or not.

Coming into the building with the box in hand, Blaque went pass the bar to check if Darric and Paige were back. Down the hall he caught a glimpse of the light that was on in the medical room and walked towards there, turning into the door frame to notice Paige laying down, while Mike and Darric were present. What happened to her?.. Walking in to get closer with a concerned expression on his face, noticing the bandages on her.

Darric glanced up and saw Blaque. He stood up and pulled the door shut behind him as he moved forwards backing Blaque out of the room. "How is she? They damn near killed her that's how she is. That monster knocked her up. She had to have an abortion. She is a mess that is how she is. They flogged her with a knotted rope with glass embedded in it!" Darric's fist clenched and he looked like he was going to kill someone and soon.

After hearing what all happened, a long deep huff came from Blaque as even though the shades he wore, covered his eyes, regret was on his face for what he had her go through. His face turned away for a moment with shame Dammit... he said softly. It's my fault this happened...I know the dangers and I still let her handle it. ...if she can't forgive me for this, I understand. Darric, I should owe you an apology for this as well. Blaque said in an upset tone. I won't send her on anything like that again but...I know right about now, you want to head back and seek vengeance...for every bit of pain she suffered..

Coming down the hallway, the distinct thuds of metallic boots resonated against the walls as NERON approached the medical room, Jinx dangling from the machine's outstretched arms, Willard tagging along behind. "Is the medical room occupied, then?" the automation turned its head in a nearly human fashion from Blaque to Darric, the quizzical phrase breaking the tense air that was hanging in the hall. Willard peered around the leg of the robot, his bright green eyes staring up to Blaque in a confused daze, before he saw Mr. Darric. Smiling, Willard greeted the man with a wave, but stopped as he took note of the intense colors his master and Mr. Darric both had. Clearly something bad had happened, and the boy shuffled back a bit to make sure he didn't get in the way.

Darric was seething and barely holding back his rage. "Yes, you should have pulled her out sooner. No she won't be doing this again. She already promised me that and yes, I intend to kill that bastard but I'm going to make him suffer first." Hearing Willard come into the room Darric clenched his jaw and kept it together. The kid looked up to him so he needed to appear calm or at least in control of himself.

He turned to Willard, "Hey buddy, I heard you did good in there. I had to take off early. I had to go get Paige. She got really hurt on her mission. We did get two of the kids in there out. I wasn't even looking for them but we brought them here. The boy and girl are in the game room over there."

Darric pointed to the other medical rooms and told NERON "Those are still open."

Blaque couldn't blame Darric for his anger and hell, Blaque was angry as well. More at himself for what happened but he wanted to bring that cult down. He stared at Darric, not answering as there was no need. There's but so much he can say to calm Darric down but he ultimately needed to apologize to Paige. He felt he owed her for all of this. When Willard spoke, Blaque took a deep breath to try and change his demeanor for the young one to not worry the kid since he's more than likely seeing their intense colors.

Blaque let's Darric speak to WIllard and waited for the young one and NERON to head to the medical room before he would speak again. They were going need a hell of a counter attack on the cathedral.

With the point of Darric's finger, NERON silently nodded in response as the machine trudged off, entering one of the free rooms and laying the unconscious girl upon the medical table before closing the door to work, leaving Willard in the hallway with the two men. Glancing from one face to the other, the boy silently nodded to Darric's reference to the other children and sent another gaze to Blaque - his signal that he knew something was up, and was worried about Ms. Paige. Finally, the boy turned and ran off to the game room, joining the two other children in the board game they had sprawled out on the floor.

So do you still want to do this or no?

Trapped Inside (XxLyraxX & Wick)

Orren had sat down to the table to eat thinking that James would show the young woman into the parlor to wait for him there. He was quite surprised by their entrance into the dining room. He was sitting at the table with a large plate of luncheon meats and fruits and vegetables before him. When she walked in he looked up and saw her terror written on her face. It was sheer instinct that made her turn away and one of determination that made her stay.

Orren had just taken a bite of his apple and so he thought he must look kind of silly with a half eaten apple hanging out of his mouth. He glanced at James and gave him a terribly annoyed look. Orren finished his apple and then he stood up and with his cloak flowing around him he made his way over to Adelina. His princely manners did not go to waste. He bowed to her and took her hand in his shaking it lightly.

"Mistress Erenborn, I am sorry that James did not prepare you better. The house is in terrible shape. He is the worst at cleaning up and I can be messy. Now, I had hoped to get to the obvious a little later but as you can see James is terribly ugly. A mean old crone cast a spell on him so that he might scare all of the children in the castle. Twas terribly cruel of her." Orren said all of this with the straight faced expression of a comedian. James however picked up an apple and threw it at him.

Easily catching the apple Orren took a bite of it and said with all of the dramatic flare of a theatre troupe. "Rumor has it that James eats young women and children and scares all of the warriors away with his beastliness. So if I were you I would steer clear of him and spend all of your time with me." Beastly or not Orren was grinning as James gave him a look of incredulity.

Orren awaited the arrival of his new housekeeper. She was to appear today. He wondered if she would be afraid of him like the others. The only one to stay with him through all of this ordeal had been his best friend and he had taken up the buffering between the Prince and the public. He knew what they said about him and it enraged him at first but then he would pass a mirror and his heart would sink. His own family had left him how could he expect some unsuspecting girl to look past the horrid appearance he had been cursed with, to the soul inside.

That thought made him snicker derisively. The icy cold soul that got him into this entire thing? Who would want to see that? It was precisely why he was now a huge hulking monstrosity that made women scream and run and men quiver in fear of him. Hearing footsteps approach he turned to find James bringing in his lunch. It was an incredible amount of food for one but his size demanded it.

"So Orren, today please try not to scare this girl on the first day, ok? You are running out of days til your birthday and you need a year and her heart."

Impatient and irritated Orren grabbed the drink off of the table and guzzled it and then slammed it down. "Do you really think I don't know!" He paced to the window and glanced out and saw a rider coming up to the gate. His eyes took this in and his heart did a flip flop and his stomach began to churn anxiously. "Is everything in place? I think that must be her."

James smiled and said, "Yes it probably is her and yes everything is perfect, except for you!" He teased his friend. "You are still as big of an ass as always my friend."

Orren smirked at him and warned him. "Don't you let her fall for you. If you do I'll be forced to rip off an arm or a leg to make you less pretty."

James laughed exuberantly as he left the room to answer the door.

Cool, I'm thinking about changing his pic to one a little more animated like yours. I'm looking to see if I find one that suits better.
