Several Thousand Years to Love » Places

         Despite the tension from the encounter with the guard, Adam clearly heard the fact that he'd been addressed as a female. Naturally, he had a few objections regarding this matter, and proceeded to notify the princess of this once they were out of earshot.

"The Order of Truth are all female, aren't they? Why didn't you tell me this?" he asked Damali. "If I get caught impersonating one of 'em then I'm done for. I hope this dinner thing's not gonna last for too long..."

Trying his best to keep calm, he continued to walk down the corridor with the princess in silence, just like the monks he was pretending to be. However, there was one question on his mind that he decided to ask before they reached their destination.

"Dali, these Order of Truth people... do they take vows of chastity as well, by any chance?"

         Zale thought that if the young lady knew where he stood, his position, what he was, then things would settle down, but it went completely the opposite. Surely the language he used and the fact the chair looked like a throne would tell her that he was in a position of high authority, not to mention referring to "his people". Instead she didn't say a word and didn't calm down as she screamed, the high-pitched scream going right through him and the walls, to the city beyond. He lifted his right hand and hid his eyes behind it. Despite trying to calm her down, he ended up making it worse, since a scream was a sign that she was afraid, and it would be those outside who would think it had to do with him since he was the only one in there. As expected, one of the fishfolk outside entered to see if everything was alright. Fishfolk looked like humans, except that they had gills so that they could breathe underwater and become accustomed to life in the sea. He wasn't too sure how they turned out in such a way, but he did know there was a weed that could be eaten to give gills temporarily, which fade away when not near the sea, and once they do, they do not return. Turning to the fiskfolk, he then spoke, raising the tone a little so he could be heard over the scream, "I shall retire momentarily. For now, be on alert for those pirates. Make sure they don't come near", as the fishfolk bowed and then left.

Now what was left to do was deal with the screaming human, as he sighed, moving his left hand to the side of his water chair, and lifting his thumb, middle finger and little finger at an angle, as water lifted into the air through his thumb and fingers, springing up from the arm of the chair, and landed one part on her forehead, seeing as when you scream, you cringle and your forehead goes red, and the two other streams landed on each side of her cheek, since they also tend to go red. Simply cooling her off, before his hand pulled away from the chair's arm, and he moved himself with the chair to her side, raising his hand as the water then pulled off her face and returned to his hand. If he wished to harm her or scare her, he would of done so already. He touched the side of her face gently with the back of his hand, before addressing her, seeing as things weren't going so well, "Now, if you are quite finished, I shall introduce myself. I am Zale, and this, is Atlantis. I know not from where you come from, but I shall not pry. What I will tell you, is that your screaming must of alerted our resident pirates who live here on the surface, and like all races, there are those who conform, and there are those who rebel", as he pulled back his hand. If his mere presence startled her, what more harm would it do, to tell her he was a Prince aswell. Probably a little too much information when she needed to rest.

As far as prying was concerned, it was totally the opposite, since he found the young lady interesting and did wish to find out more, since she didn't look like other humans he had seen. Then again, he hadn't spent a great deal of time round them since he had been following his father and learning what it taked to rule the Kingdom as he continued to grow older. It was one thing to say he was a Prince, but the fact he was next in line was a bit overwhelming. Infact, it was overwhelming, even to him, but so was the beauty of Atlantis. It was why he and his father strove to keep Atlantis peaceful like the waves that enveloped them, and why he sought to make sure that her screaming would not disturb the peace. "I shall take my leave of you and allow you to rest. You will be safe here, and should you seek me, simply ask one of the fishfolk or come to the waters' edge and call for me", as he then turned to leave. He'd only stay if requested, but even if he left now, he would surely be back and keep an eye on her, especially if any trouble erupts with any rebel pirates who wish to add humans to their stock.

         ((Wrong place))

         Fleur felt awkward and slightly scared as she was circled but her honey eyes showed no fear, as Yoro? Was it? Circled her like a vulture. Instead of showing fear she simply blinked calmly and smiled politely. Though she could not help but look at Kere's thankfully when he stopped him from touching her. Fleur was a shy blushy creature so being touched by someone she did not feel comfortable with never put her in a good situation.

She looked over at the queen who's eyes were clearly observing and showing she was thinking. Fleur blinked at the queen then at Kere's then at the queen. She was about to speak when the queen nearly trampled her and began squealing and touching her all over. Fleur could not hold back despite her best efforts a wild blush and a giggle as the queen touched her hair. "Not really your majesty... I'm quite plain where I come from but your so sweet for saying so." She smiled and blushed more the wild colors of her cheeks and hair and eyes lighting up the room.

Though it was at this time Fleur realized how terribly under dressed she was. The queen and Kere's were both /royals/! Not only was Fleur nothing close to royal but she was still dressed in her futuristic clothing which to the queen and Kere's probably looked like peasant clothes not to mention judging from the time zone she found herself in very improper. Fleur was only in a loose cotton blouse and capris jean pants and WHERE WERE HER SHOES???? Fleur's face became rose red as the queen continued her inspection and suddenly Fleur felt all her flaws bubbling up to the surface. Her dirty face? Her hands with paper cuts, Her wild curly hair probably had nots. She squirmed shyly begging for the queen not to notice her. She needed an explanation for her dress she could tell Yoro and the others were looming over just waiting for an excuse to /eat/??? Her or who knows what.

She quickly thought up an excuse and smiled. "Sorry for being so improperly dressed everyone... Kere's just rushed over so unexpectedly I had no time to change or wash I-I bet I look simply horrid please forgive me though I-Il dress better next time." She gave her sweetest smile and even her eyes lit up. Fleur was shocked at how confident she managed to sound and clearly her excuse worked because the others in the room stopped staring at her all except Yoro who still seemed to loom making her stomach turn and her face pale.

         Merian glared."I would rather you not..." She took deep breaths a calmed down looking at Anu. "I'm an inventor and scientist...I built a machine that allows people to go from one place one place to another... It malfunctioned exploded and I woke up here which is not at all where I should be..." She eyed the man. "So no brain thing...I would just rather not too many weird moments in my brain."

         Jon started to be dragged towards the castle that was up the road a little bit. The worst part was he was literally dragged there. "Hey come on man.... ow that hurt." they entered the castle and he should have stayed quiet but he did. "Nice place you have here." he was then shaken. "Okay ill stay quiet." They dragged him further into the castle and he just remain quiet. They had finally stopped and he heard a girl say to pick him up onto his feet. The girl walked up to him he felt bad being covered in some dirt that he had picked up from the dragging.

"I am the Princess Amalthea, and who might you be good sir?" the girl asked.

"Well um you see my name is Jon. I have no idea how I got here." he said even though" he said as he somehow managed to run his hand through his hair with some contorting of course. "It's also really nice to meet you Amalthea." he was then shaken "Okay I get it but Princess first." He turned to look back at her and smiled and bowed his head as best as he could. "It's an honor to meet you Princess Amalthea." He raised his head back up still smiling even though he was still held.
