Aly's scoffed a little when he said that she might get to see the library. "I doubt that Blake, The king never lets anyone in." She shrugged and then moved back to him and said "But I would not object to being in that high of standing of course, it would be such an honour." She looked at the closed doors wistfully and then turned back to him when he called her a child. she reached out and gave him a shove and laughed "I suppose."

He spoke of the annoyances of women and the said "Well perhaps you need to scare them a little, or make it so you are undesirable." She advised. "go roll in the mud or something, or..."she seemed quite impressed with her latest idea "don't bathe. Ever." She folded her arms.

She met his eye and nodded when he suggested that they get the leaves first and said "We can go to the Kings grave's first. I'm not quite ready to put on a normal front just yet." She rolled her shoulders and then began to walk with him out of the courtyard. They picked up the bags of invitations Cain had left for them in the entrance hallway and she hoisted the bag over her shoulder and then they exited the castle. "I could go for some supper after this." She told him "I've got a few slabs of meat left, you are welcome to join me after this task." She told him "You of course would have to bring some ale." She adjusted the bag of invitations as they walked along a giant bridge over looking the small houses down below. There was a set of stairs at the end of the walk way that separated in two different directions, they took the left one to the small grove of trees that surrounded the kings graves.

When they walked into the grove Alys set down her bag and went over to the large oak in the middle of the area and looked up at her hands on her hips. There was no way they could reach the leaves by jumping and it looked like they would have to climb the massive tree. "It's strange." Alys said quietly. "It's so quiet here." It was indeed terribly quiet, there was no sounds of the people below or any screams, the science felt unnatural to her, it was as if the area was never meant to be disturbed. "Do you want a leg up Blake?" she asked him linking her fingers together and bending down to give him a boost.
