Lilian turned from Seth but kept one of his hands tightly in her own as she made her way back to the castle. No, you didn’t disrupt anything at all Roselin and CERTAINLY nothing to make him disappear over! I’m a well behaved girl you know this! She smiled lightly to herself at the conversation she was having with her sister, glad to know that she was safe. It wasn’t long before they were near her room and she spotted Adam hovering in the doorway of their room speaking to her sister. “Adam, thank you for taking care of my sister for me.” She smiled to him but quickly moved past him to hug her sister tightly. “Don’t you EVER scare me like that again! You are never ever allowed upon heights! EVER!”

Adam understood completely when Roselin said she had to see Lilian. She could have just died, it was only natural to want to be close to whoever was closest to you. “Of course. Your right, yu probably should be packing what you need, although if we’re to be on the run then you may wanna pack light. Seth’s pretty useful for not having to carry around much money so we’ll be able to pick up whatever we need, wherever we are. Just bring what you’d like to bring.” He said with a smile.
He wasn’t sure if his words even got to her the way she wanted off the roof. She grabbed his hand and then started to lead the way. However, quite sure they wouldn’t be making another trip up there easily, he grabbed the bag they had originally went up there for with his mind. It floated behind them as Roselin took the lead all the way back.
Once they had made it back to Roselin and Lilian’s room Adam laughed as she apologized for dragging him around. “Don’t you think I would have pulled away if I didn’t want to be dragged along. I followed you, you simply lead the way.” He said with a smile to her. “As she finally told Adam of the link between her and Lilian, Adam couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “That makes so much more sense now. In fact that must be a fun ability. It’s just a good thing your so close with each other. Otherwise I think the usefulness of that does go down.”
He noticed that she really seemed upset about keeping that a secret. “Don’t feel bad Roselin, I kept what I could do a secret too. We’re even as far as I’m concerned.” He looked over towards the sitting room and smiled. He’d see what Seth wanted to do, but he thought that the sisters deserved a bit of time alone. “So it seems we wait for Seth and Lilian to return now. I’m glad your okay Roselin.” He stood silently for a moment. “Roselin... Did you tell Lilian about not going back to our Castle? Or will this be a surprise to her? Oh and before I forget.” He said looking into the hallway and watching the bag float over to them. He moved it towards the chair next to Roselin and put it down onto it. “I figured you’d probably be holding off on future trips up there, so I brought it with us.” He smiled hoping that was the right thing to do. The conversation explaining the hopeful plan would definitely be an interesting one. One that was best to leave to Roselin.
Seth Was glad at how Lilian reacted. In all honesty, he was worried he’d scare her off. He didn’t plan on having these feeling for her, they just kinda happened. Not that he regretted having them. he hadn’t felt as good as he did around her, in many many years, if ever. As she explained Roselin needed her he smiled. “Very Sorry? I expected you to want to go see her. In fact I would question it if you didn’t. Let us make haste, and make sure she is okay.” He said with a smile.
Seth followed Lilian back to the room. Honestly he didn’t plan on sticking around, he went to go get Adam. While the girls had their time together, Adam and Seth could scout to see where the best point of escape was. True Lilian and Roselin may know already, but knowing how many guards were around and where never hurt.
As they reached the room Adam smiled at Lilian. “No need to thank me. I’m just glad I was there. It would be terrible if anything happened to either of you.” He smiled and noticed Seth motion for him to come over. He did so and talked with Seth for a moment. In agreement with scouting the palace and the grounds they turned to the Princesses. Seth did the talking as usual. “Ladies, if you don’t mind, we’d like to give you some time and go see what kind of escape plan we need.”
Seth created 3 crystals in his hand. The were identical, although one slightly larger then the other two. he handed one off to Adam, and Adam sent the other the twins, placing it on top of the bag of their treasures. Seth smiled. “It may not be a great form of communication, but if you break that crystal I will know that your ready for us to return, or that you need us. All you need to do is drop it and we’ll come back.” The two waited there, just to make sure that was okay with the Princesses before leaving.

Leaning back off the chair, Roselin realized she should have sat IN the chair as Lilian entered and hugged her tightly nearly unbalancing her in the progress. “I didn’t intend to fall, and I’ll try not to ever again!” Returning the hug tightly, she was so relieved to be back with her sister...yet something in the back of her mind couldn’t stop thinking about the safety she felt holding onto Adam… She definitely needed to avoid any more falls; they were messing with her too much. “EVER? Ever is an awfully long time, how about a few hours?” Pulling back to reveal a sly grin, she couldn’t help but tease her sister to lighten the mood.
As the crystals rested on the bag after Seth explained how they worked, Roselin nodded in understanding. “Alright, we’ll try to pack as light as we can. If you come across anyone, just tell them we retired before we could show you to your rooms; that would at least buy you an alibi.” The realization of what they were about to do sinking in; Roselin rolled the crystal between her fingers before pocketing it safely. All right sister, let’s get this started shall we? Heading towards their bedroom door, Roselin entered and waited for Lilian to follow before filling her in on the newest plans. A few drawers and a wardrobe later, Roselin located a modest looking sized bag and started to pack. We might want to stay quite so no one will overhear us. We probably need a change of clothes…something casual that doesn't declare ‘royalty’…. And matching cloaks! That would be the perfect escape plan for us if we need to run, just like in the maze… And we’re not going to the princes’ castle; we’re running away as planned without the ‘coming back’ part. Maybe some food or something… and a needle if our clothes tear… To bad I can’t bring my piano… What do you think? Biting her lip, Roselin glanced at her sister with another guilty look waiting on her twin’s response.

Leaning forward with a pleading look, Roselin then lowered her gaze and stood to return to their packing. Surely what they were doing wouldn’t hurt anything? No, there was to be no thinking of such things. She wanted freedom and a choice, and here it was. Lillian would be safe with Seth, and she trusted Adam as well. They merely had to keep their ears open for what happens after their disappearance. Just think sister, you would have more time to spend with Seth; no pressure of a looming marriage involved. Surely that would be worth it? Casting a sly look at her twin, Roselin smiled as she stepped behind the dressing screen to change into a hunter green dress; one of which she had worn often for riding and broke in well for climbing.
Well then? What do you think? Not quiet royal anymore! Stepping out from behind the screen, Roselin spun in a circle to reveal the simple dress and her hair hanging loose, unvarnished by any insignia or class identification. The only thing that could remotely stand out was her duo colored eyes and the moon necklace made by Seth.

Sitting up, she began smoothing her dress and fussing with it nervously as she listened to her sister, back turned to her. Well, she supposed her twin did have some points, after all none of them wanted to be used as pawns in this game. Although it seemed all of them were growing closer, being forced together and having peering eyes watching them constantly wasn’t exactly appealing. However the nagging thought of Adam and Seth’s father thinking that Roselin and her father had something to do with their disappearance caused most of the hesitance. No doubt it would cause a huge uproar and it would be their entire fault! Surely just showing back up wouldn’t fix it just like that as Roselin seemed to think it would but Lilian would give anything not to go from this situation into an almost identical one.
After a few moments of silence, her twin made a joke at her expense about alone time with Seth which she blushed a bit at then glared playfully at her. Oh yes and I’m sure you’re not thinking about all the time you’ll have with Adam are you? Giggling a bit, it seemed Lilian had made her decision and hopped up to pack a small bag of belongings as well, looking up to her sister when she stepped out in her dress she wore when romping about. I must say I think you’ll blend it quite wonderfully! Following her sister’s example, Lilian took her older blue dress out of the closet and slipped into it. She then took off all of her jewelry, except the necklace Seth had given her, and let her hair down. There, we’re ready to go. For once I’m going to take a chance Roselin. I’m not going to worry about consequences we’ll just, we’ll just do it. Taking a deep breath, she took one of the crystals Seth had given them in hand. Just break it and they’ll come back, another deep breath as she seemed to hesitate about the decision for the last time, she opened her hand and let it shatter on the floor.

Adam set off down the right hallway, which was more or less a long and narrow corridor, that seemed to go on for quite some time. As he walked his chosen path, he was careful to try and avoid as many guards as possible, and had actually successfully made it outside undetected. Being just a single hallway, there weren't actually any guards in it. However, he had noticed five guards on the outside of the Palace, in the way of them and the gate. That's not even to mention the guards he couldn't see stationed above. This wouldn't be easy, after all, it was the Royal Palace.
Seth had taken the left hallway, which were a maze of sorts. There were a bunch of twists and turns, although it wasn't too hard to just follow the route to the outdoors. Seth eventually reached the Palace Gate, but knew that he couldn't just walk in and out of it. Instead he headed for the nearest window and went out it, and headed up. A bird's eye view would be better then one on the ground. When he finally reached the Palace rooftop though, he realized that he couldn't see any of the guards near the palace. He could see over the gates well enough, but that was about it. He decided that it wouldn't be such a bad idea to scop out who'd be watching from up higher though, and after finding three people, and talking himself out of explaining why he was up there, he was ready to head back down.
Adam knew that this wasn't going to work straightforward, there were too many guards. He retreated back to the Palace and smashed his crystal, waiting for Seth to find him. As Seth reached the ground and stepped foot back into the palace, he felt half of the crystal in his hand shatter. It was Adam's half. He could sense just where he was, and didn't exactly take long to get there. After all it wasn't that big a distance and Seth was pretty quick on his feet. As he reached Adam, the two went into the nearest empty room, that didn't carry sound.
Adam looked at Seth with a worried look on his face. "Five men on the ground in our way from escaping, and that's just the way I went." Seth nodded although it was more to himself then even Adam. "Three Guards higher up too. We're not gonna be able to get out unseen if we use a straightforward method." Added Seth.
Adam thought for a moment. "You know that only leaves 2 options, unless the Princesses have a better plan, right?"
Seth could only nod and agree. "Yes I do. We figure out a way to do a flashy distraction, or we find an alternate route out."

Sweeping up her bag and swinging it over her shoulder, Roselin walked to the heavy wooden doors and layed her ear against it listening for any traces of movement. I don’t hear anything; it should be clear at this hour. We should probably take our bags with us as well. No need to risk not being able to make it back to our rooms to collect them wouldn’t you say? Slowly easing the door open and checking both ways down the hall, Roselin stepped out and held on to Lilian’s hand as they started their search for the princes.
Now, where could they possibly be? Left…Right… Upstairs?... Downstairs?... Next time we need to confirm a back up pl-
“Princesses!”
Eyes wide at the sudden voice, Roselin spun to see one of their maids walking towards them with a basket of new and old candles. Oh dear… We’ve done it now… Waiting for their plan to go up in smoke, for them to be locked in their room and all chances of escape gone, there was nothing to do but stare.
“Now Princesses, I realize you have not had much… fraternizing… with young men your age; but being engaged does not give you permission to sneak off to gentlemen’s rooms in the middle of the night! Oh, the passion of youth. I remember it well when I was your age, but the two of you have an image to uphold. Whatever those two rakes have put into your minds shall simply have to wait until you reach their kingdom; nothing of the sort shall get by me I tell you. Now both of you back to your rooms this instant young ladies!”
Mouth hanging agape at what just happened, Roselin tried to hold in a laugh of relief. I don’t believe it. I would have never thought of that excuse! I was sure we were finished! To think, us sneaking off to the princes’ rooms!...Though we are planning on running away with them… but for an entirely different reason. Attempting to play along with the maid’s imagination as she ushered them back to where they started, Roselin attempted to look as embarrassed as she could while giving a whispered “Yes ma’am.” or “Of course.” along the way.
With the two back in their bedrooms and the maid leaving after a sigh and mumble of “Young blood.” Roselin could only hug her sister as she stifled a laugh into her shoulder. Care to have another go at it? At least we know what story to play if we get caught again!

Following her sister out she almost ran smack dab into her when she spun around to face the maid. Lilian raised her brows in surprise and turned timidly to look at the woman, knowing their days were numbered. Much to her surprise though they were quickly ushered back into their room after an accusation of trying to sneak off to the princes’ rooms and then left to themselves once more. I swear that woman has a sixth sense about us and our whereabouts. She never misses a beat. Cocking her head at the door, still amazed they hadn’t been drug off to be locked up or some such thing, she then looked down to her sister and nodded. I think another attempt is in order since apparently we’re merely silly young bloods trying to fraternize with the men. Tossing in an air headed giggle for good measure, Lilian smiled and hugged her sister tightly before taking a deep breath to brace herself before she peeked out of the door and lead the escape this time.
Making their way quickly down the halls, Lilian tugged her sister this way and that, whichever direction they thought the princes might have gone. Now where on Earth do you think they are? Hm, how about this way? Turning the corner as the lead, Lilian quickly turned heel almost bowling her sister over as she shoved her frantically to hide in one of the many nooks in the wall of the castle. Not that way, not that way, not that way! Cramming herself in alongside her sister, she held her breath as a few guards walked past, muttering something about being placed on duty late at night once more before continuing their march down the hall. Letting out a sigh of relief, she popped herself from the hidey hole and helped her twin out. Yet another close call hm? Let’s hope we find them soon because I believe I’m very close to keeling over.

Adam was the first to hear the maids up and about. He was curious as to why they hadn't come across them yet, but it was quite possible they were eating. After all the maids didn't sit at the table with the Royalty, that would be far too improper. At least for those who cared about what was proper and what wasn't. Seth and Adam weren't those kind of people. They didn't really care for social stature, people were people. Being born a Royal didn't make them feel like they were better then other people. It was more or less a job, even if the job did have pretty great perks and they didn't have to work their way to get it.
"The maids are out and about now. That'll complicate things." Adam said.
Seth just sighed a bit and shook his head, almost in disbelief. "Just great, like this wasn't hard enough. Let's get Lilian and Roselin. After that... We'll just wing it. Maybe they'll have a better plan since this is their home after all. They would know the ins and outs of it."
Adam nodded his head in agreement, and the two set off down the large hall, trying to stay hidden as much as possible. "If we come across any of the maids, you could always make a gem thing and smack em over the head with it to knock them out you know."
Seth stopped and stood for a moment astonished by the suggestion. "Adam... That may be one of the worst ideas that ever came from your mouth, and you've had some bad ones over the years. We're not knocking anyone out. Stop the stupid ideas and let's just get to the Princesses. If we run into any maids, I'll talk us out of it."
Adam shrugged and just followed Seth, although it wasn't long before they heard some people talking down the hall. The two hid and just listened, to what sounded like a maid talking to the Princesses. Now there were 4 of them, but both Adam and Seth knew it had to be Lilian and Roselin that the maid was talking too. The other princesses probably wouldn't have been traveling together.
Adam and Seth stayed out of sight until they were sure the maid was gone, although by doing so, they seemed to have missed the Princesses. Of course they didn't know until they had reached the Princesses room, currently occupied by no one. Seth sighed and motioned for them to go on. As he and Adam headed towards the more maze like area of halls. The two decided to split up, but not before Seth handed Adam a new crystal. It wouldn't be any good if they had found the girls, but lost one another after all.
Adam and Seth split up once more and kind of just wandered around. Neither had any idea where they were going, and if they were caught, they could easily just say they were lost. That wouldn't have even been a lie. As Seth walked around though, he was spotted by one of the maids. Thinking quickly he walked to her as she noticed him, as if he were looking for her. "Finally, I found someone. I've been looking around for someone to ask a favor of for about an hour now. I thought people may have been avoiding me." He paused a moment and smiled. "I'd hate to be a pain, but back in my kingdom, I usually wander around and get hungry late at night like this, so they would prepare a snack for me. I was hoping I could find someone that could help me."

Roselin stood perfectly still as she held her breath in to make even a centimeter more room for Lilian to squeeze into their hiding spot. Oh heavens that was close. A deep release of the held breath escaping as she followed Lilian back into the hallway, the words from her twin made her have to nod her head in agreement. I hope so too sister. I hope so too. Next we will be running into the royal advisors up looking for a drink of milk!... Do you hear that?
Across from their hidey hole, down another smaller corridor, came two familiar sounding voices. A male and female. Either I hope that’s Seth and the other I’m wrong about…Or that’s her and I’m wrong about Seth… We better hurry! Taking her sister’s hand as they made their way toward the voices as quickly as they dared; it was to their utter confusion that no one was to be seen in the hall as she peaked her head around the corner. This is never going to work this way! What do you say we split up to find the two fugitives? We can easily keep in contact and find each other and cover more ground. I’ll head this way. A hug of good luck, Roselin chose another random door then hall as she made her way to find one or even better both of the princes.
Creaping along the halls with her ears alert, the clink of metal alerted her just in time to duck into a room as two more guards passed. Lilian dear… we may want to be wearier of guards along our chambers halls. There seems to be more than usual on patrol. Head sticking out as soon as she dared to think it safe, the dark head of hair just as quickly ducked back inside at the sound of more muted steps... but if they were muted… they must not be guards!
With that thought in mind as Roselin opened the door a crack she was more than thrilled to see a familiar looking figure walking away from her current position. I think I just found Adam! And he’s heading… OH DEAR! The guards! Swiftly stepping down the hallway as quietly as possible without alerting anyone, Roselin quickly walked up behind Adam and wrapped one arm around him from the back with her other covering his mouth; using all her strength and panic to pull him into one of the many dark passageways of the castle. The return of clinking footsteps as the guards must have reached the end of their patrol and turned around to start again, Roselin leaned her head into Adam as she held on to both him and hope that they didn’t get caught. She really needed to stop acting on impulse. The prince wandering on his own would take a simple story, but the prince and princess in a dark corner? Sister, I’ve really done it this time…

Alright, where could he be? Taking a few turns here and there, back peddling quickly a couple of times to avoid being spotted she soon resigned herself to the fact that she would never find him. Yes, I’ve seen more guards prowling about than I ever have! Goodness, is this some sort of test by fate or are we just naturally this unlucky?
A few more turns later and she finally spotted her target, or should she say targets. She thought angrily, watching the blonde maid happily chatter to Seth as she smiled sweetly. Let me know when you’re safely hidden sister. I’ve found Seth. If it was possible to growl through a telepathic connection, then she did. It wasn’t as if she could just run up and take him away, that wouldn’t look proper! So, taking a deep breath to calm herself, she followed quietly. and I’m about to do something sister. Ah! Ha, the maid had left him for a moment and Lilian took her chance. Quickly skittering over, she grabbed Seth’s arm and yanked him down the hallway at a run before finally stopping after they turned a corner to hide themselves. “Well, good to see you again.” She smirked as she caught her breath and peeked around the corner to make sure her frantic kidnapping of her prince wasn’t spotted.

He began to hear some clanging footsteps. To make them worse they were heading his way, and he had no idea where to go to avoid them. In the echos of the palace, it was hard to pinpoint even where they were coming from. He was about to finally just wing it and run down a hall, but he felt someone grab him from behind. His mouth was covered and he was being dragged backwards, to where and by whom though, he just didn't know.
He was about to try and find some way to struggle, but then realized how soft the hands that were pulling him back were. They weren't any guard's hands plus they felt familiar. I had to be Roselin. He was convinced of that much.
As the two finally stopped going they were in a dark corner. Adam turned and opened his eyes, to see just who he wanted to. Roselin. "You know, you could have just asked for me to follow you." He said with a smile, although his words were more of a whisper only she could hear. "Are you okay? I was worried when you weren't in your room."
As the clanking footsteps came nearer Adam held onto Roselin who was in turn holding him. "You know, maybe in this situation it's best to play on what people would think we were trying to do. Technically, we are to be married after all." It didn't take a genius to see what it looked like. Two people that were soon to be married though, sneaking off into a dark corner so no one could see them, was a better cover then the truth though. Although, maybe there was a bit of an ulterior motive as well. "Of course, I'm not very good at lying, so maybe I'm wrong."
-----
Seth shook his head at the maid ad she apologized for being so bold. Of course the thought screaming in his head was Damn It!. He wanted to get her to go away, not escort him. "No, it's okay. You can't be expected to know the habits of those intruding on you anyway." He followed the maid trying to be nice, but the whole time he was waiting for an opportunity to get away from her. More and more Adam's thought of knocking her out looked better. he knew he couldn't though, it just wasn't in him. He couldn't hit a woman, nor could he hit someone that didn't deserve it.
Seth wasn't sure where he was being led, although he didn't think it was to the dining hall or the kitchen. It just didn't look familiar, and he had traveled the Palace a bit during the day. He tried to walk at a slower pace, although for a second he noticed her attention stray from him. This was his chance to escape! Although it seemed like he wasn't the only one with that very notion.
He was about to try and run for it, down some random hall, when he felt his arm grabbed. He slapped his free hand over his mouth to avoid creating a commotion, as he was led down a hallway that was much less occupied. When they finally stopped running, Seth heard a familiar voice, of just who he was looking for. Well at least one of the two. He smiled and laughed a bit as Lilian greeted him. "I assure you, it's much better for me to see you again. I'm not sure where that maid was taking me. I was going to run, just when you grabbed my arm."
As she looked around the corner he could only shake his head a bit and laugh. "Calm down Lilian, it's alright. Even if they saw us, we'll come up with something. Maybe we were playing a trick on the maids, or just generally starting some kind of trouble. It's something we're all good at after all." He walked over to her and placed his hand on Lilian's shoulder. He did want her freaking out after all, there wasn't any need to.

With his arms around her and their arranged future, it definitely seemed likely; not to mention the idea was not exactly screaming ‘no’ inside her head either. It was rather odd how calm she felt at the moment. Why though? “That usually is the best plan to go with… it’s more the acting involved than the words.” Trying to hide a smirk as she recalled their earlier escape with her elbowing him in the stomach to escape her father, certainly there couldn’t be any harm in acting now?
Arms changing place from around Adam’s waist to around his neck, Roselin stood on tip toe to reach closer to his ear. Might as well make it looking convincing? Yes, that was to be her reasoning for sure. Wasn’t it? At such a close proximity, it was hard to think clearly though; and the approaching guards were making her heart race. There was not a chance she would let Adam get into trouble for her; she thought as she leaned her head forward more. She was not going to let them take away her prince… her prince?... Lilian dear… Whatever you are feeling at the moment, will you please put a damper on it before I end up fighting off the guards!
Pulling away slightly at the wave of jealousy and protectiveness driving her actions thanks to her sister, Roselin glanced at Adam with a guilty look. “Sorry… Lilian found Seth.” she whispered, the few words being the only way she could even try to explain the sudden impulse. Now to just fool those pesky guards and get out of here…
Just as suddenly as the snatch-a-prince plan, Roselin yanked Adam as low to the ground as she could and shooed him behind a small stand with a vase; quickly sliding in beside him as she kept her face as much in the dark as possible. “Why couldn’t it have been maids! Your plan would have worked perfect!” voice as silent as she could hold it, Roselin held her breathe as she watched the shadow of the guards slow. “I may have played one too many tricks on the guards in my time… they’ll turn me in to my past governess in a heartbeat!” she whispered into Adam’s ear to ensure not being overheard, “I think we can get across the hall if they’ll turn around for only a moment; just stay low.”
Mentally cursing herself for the extra trouble, she crept to the corner in a half waddle. Definitely not the most sophisticated movement, but you can only move so quietly in a dress without tripping on it. Lilian, we’re going to have to make a run for it I think. You were right about all those pranks coming back to haunt me later. I’ll meet up with you wherever you can get to. The two guards approaching as they talked over what sounded like a chicken running lose with their room keys around its neck - wonder how that could have happened… - Roselin nodded at Adam the all clear and looked around for the crack she knew was here somewhere… there!
Grabbing one of the larger flowers out of the vase, Roselin dug into her bag for a piece of bread Lilian had packed from their room then held the food up to the hole. A small whiskered nose poking it’s was out before the petite round ears and furry body of a brown mouse followed, it gave an unsure glance towards the two before scampering into Roselin’s hand with the food. “Ok Pippy, you know the drill…” The mouse busy eating the corner of bread, Roselin tied the large flower loosely around the rodent’s waist and set it on the ground.
This plan being in the making for the past year in order to scare certain councilors along the halls, the mouse scurried down the hall towards the second hole at the end; the bright yellow flower completely covering it as the petals swayed past the guards who followed its path with a dumbfounded stare. “Now.” She mouthed before grabbing Adam’s hand and darting across the hall, there was no time wasted as she lead the way as far as she could and hoped to meet up with her sister. “Now then… that was rather interesting I dare say.”

It wasn’t long before she came to a screeching halt as her sister communicated with her once more. Get somewhere hidden sister. Don’t worry about tracking us, we’ll find you. “Well, it seems like Adam and Roselin have run into a bit of trouble. I’m sure they’ll be fine though, Roselin has many tricks up her sleeves. Come, they’re this way now.” She tugged him down the halls once more, luckily missing any guards that were prowling around. Rounding one more corner, she had to catch herself from calling out to her sister as she spotted her and Adam skittering along. Instead she hurried up and grabbed her sister by the arm. “Shh! It’s just us. Oh, it’s good to see the both of you. I see you pulled off sneaking away.” Smiling, she hugged her sister quickly before looking to Adam and Seth. “Let’s get out of these corridors before we’re discovered shall we?”

As the two shared a look and moved closer though, Roselin suddenly pulled away. Adam didn't know why at first, maybe she was just nervous. He just had hoped he hadn't done anything to offend her. As she explained that Lilian found Seth though, Adam just nodded. He cleared his throat, and just nodded once more. "Of course, of course. We better get to them, after all who knows what kind of trouble they'll get into without us there." He smiled a bit as the next stage of the plan went into effect.
Rushed off once again, this time Adam and Roselin took cover behind a table with a Vase on it. Adam half wondered what the guards would do if they just found him, after all he was a guest in the castle. Maybe everything would be fine, although it was better to play it safe the sorry. "If it were maids, maybe it would have been too easy. Nothing good ever comes easy, so look at it as what we're doing must be amazing." He said, in a tone only Roselin would hear. It could hardly even be considered a whisper. He nodded as Roselin told him to hold still, but couldn't help but chuckle a bit as she did her half waddle. It wasn't the most prestigious move, but it was cute to watch nonetheless.
As Roselin did her thing with the mouse, Adam just watched. He didn't know what she was doing really, but she had the plan set in her head. Who was he to argue? When he got the all clear he rushed next to her, and finally it seemed like the two of them had a chance to breathe. Although Adam did regret a little, that his plan fell through. "Interesting and successful. I've gotta say, that's pretty creative."
-----
Meanwhile, Seth and Lilian we're pretty much in the clear. It seemed there weren't as many guards around them. "Yes, quite overdue. Let's make haste then, after all the more time here the better chance we have at getting caught." The two did just that, and moved on. Somehow they avoided the guards, probably due to the distractions of Roselin, and in no time they had caught up. Finally as a group of 4 again, they could get out of here. Seth did have a plan for that, using his natural athletic abilities and his gift to help them escape. Okay, borrowing Adam's as well.
Seth smiled after they were all acquainted again. "Stay here, just a minute longer Lilian." Adam didn't know what Seth's plan was, but he seemed determined nonetheless. Better to just let Seth do his thing in these situations. Seth stood up when the coast was clear. He had noticed the holes in the upper parts of the walls for light to get in. Normally, most people couldn't get through these, of course it's near impossible from the outside unless you drop in from the top. The inside however, was a much more manageable to get too. At least for those who trained for this kind of thing. Seth never was big on fighting, so stealth movements and acrobatics most couldn't do was how he passed the time. At least the time he was supposed to be sparring with the others.
There was a table at the end of this hallway, but other then that it was pretty much a straight shot. Avoiding the guards was all he'd need to do. "Wait for my signal." Was all he said before taking off down the hallway as fast as he could. He was moving quick, but then heard it. The clanking footsteps of a guard coming by. There wasn't much time to react or think, but Seth had a plan. Adam had already figured out what Seth's intention was, and just nodded a bit. "Don't blink, if you do you'll miss what he does. Don't tell him I said this, but it's actually pretty cool."
Seth didn't stop, and he didn't even slow down. Instead, keeping his momentum, he went into a slide on the hallway floor. Straight under the table, under which he stopped. After the guard had passed him by, blissfully unaware of Seth's now hidden presence, Seth came out from under the table. He regretted not being able to keep all the momentum he had wanted, but was confident he had enough time to regain enough of it to do this. Finishing his sprint down the hallway, he ran straight into the wall. However he started running up it, rather then straight into it. Getting just enough distance up it, he was able to grip onto the very bottom of the opening. Using just his arms he pulled himself up and into the opening. Once there he looked outside. He saw the coast clear right there and just nodded back to the others.
Adam just shook his head. That kind of thing didn't really surprise him anymore. "Come on, I'll help us normal people get up there. After all not all of us can climb like a monkey." He said in a joking tone. He often would call Seth a monkey considering how well he could climb. The three of them got over there without having to hide under the table luckily. However, the next part would be tricky.
Seth whispered down to them. "Alright, Adam will help you guys up. There's a small ledge up here that we can stand up on, until Adam gets out here to help us down."
Adam just shook his head in a playful way. "Always putting me to work." He really didn't have a problem with it, although Seth could find his own way down. Not that Seth couldn't, making the "punishment" a bit less worth it. Adam helped Lilian up first, but didn't help Roselin up until he said something to her. He wasn't sure if she would be hesitant after what had happened earlier. "Roselin, don't worry. I won't let you fall, I promise." He was only trying to make her feel safer, and he raised her up there. He sent the bags they had packed up with her, and then followed quickly. He didn't want anyone up there longer then they had to be. He wasted no time at all in getting the girls down, followed by their bags, then himself and even Seth lastly. They didn't have the time for Seth to monkey around after all.
Seth stood there ready to go on, but he didn't exactly fully plan out the next steps. He figured a bit of gold lying around would be enough for a distraction, but he realized he didn't know how to even get off of the grounds. "Hope everyone's okay.... I'm embarrassed now, but I have no idea how to get out of here. I'm sure you two would know how to, right?"
