Lien didn't like the two royals dressed in white. They were exactly what she hoped none of them would be. She knew that she shouldn't say anything else, just a smile and a nod...but....oh the temptation was too great. Li tapped her brothers leg with her own, something they would do when they were younger and were trying not to laugh, it wasn't because the situation was funny, though it was, but the ridiculousness of the royals was far too great to not laugh about.
"I must say, the enthusiasm and sarcasm you behold is rather enlightening," Li had to say something more, but that would be it unless they wished to continue. Honestly, she just wanted out of this room, out of this kingdom and back to her own quiet, friendly world where Chaolin and everyone else would greet her with smiles and she would hug and be thankful for all of them. She hoped not all the royals were like this, as if they all had sticks up their butts. Just enjoy it, she thought, this will be your only chance to have a laugh at other people because, frankly, you have never met such parculiar people as this.

JiHun tried not to show any more distaste at the young woman, presumably his sister, stood up for the man dressed in white. He usually didn't take things like this to heart, but it seemed like they just wished to further continue the petty argument. Or what sounded like it, and to think it all started by him asking what they were going to eat? It wasn't like he was asking when the servants will start doing their jobs, and....serve? That was just to mean, although he has been mean to some of his servants. But he quickly got a scolding afterwards. His mother before the....incident, teaching them manners.
Feeling Lien trap his leg, he tried not to smile, visibly wiggling a little in his seat to try and get out of the trap. She always had the upper advantage though since her legs were a bit longer. Just wait till I get my growth spurt, he thought still smiling. His sister making another comment, he just wished for the two of them to go back to their kingdom. Father in tow, but he knew that wouldn't happen.

For what reason they're here was beyond him, and he wasn't to keen on some of the royals already. Maybe they were just cranky, in need of a nap time perhaps? It wasn't that ridiculous, he still took naps in the afternoon. Only because he stays up so late at night though. Looking around the room, he started to count. There were still a few people AWOL, so it could take a while. Glad it wasn't him or he'd still be searching.

Abia smiled sweetly at the innocent girl. She wanted sarcasm? Her and Felix had plenty more where that came from. "As is the arrogance and sarcasm that you behold as well, dearest friend." She glanced at her parents who were now giving her warning glares. "But I wouldn't want to ruin our chance at peace. Though I doubt this many voices will result in the peace and consent of the thousands of silent minds out there. Just my humble opinion, and that's what we're so joyfully here to discuss aren't we?" Her tone had changed from monotone indifference to slight amusement. If this was how the rest of the time would be spent, then she'd surely shoot herself.

She felt like she may be pushing her luck too far for the first meeting. Within the first minute they'd already offended one of the kingdoms and quite possibly the girl waiting for her brother. At least Felix could get away with it. Sometimes it was hard to be the responsible and nearly proper sibling.

She watches the princesses bicker back and forth. She exhales and looks at the door. "To make sure we do our very best at having peace why don't we stop the sarcasm?" She saids with a raised eyebrow knowing she would regert that later. She looks at the two with a raised eyebrow before looking back at the table where she is tapping her fingers. She looks at everyone and exhales deeply. "You know I think it's best for all of us if we just get this over with so I can go find my brother and I'll inform him later."She saids not very quietly not really caring anymore they were getting on her last freaking nerve.

She clears her throat and cracks her neck. "So who wants to introduce themselfs frist,I think Mr and Miss.Sarcasm should go frist."She saids smirking as she looks at Abia and Felix.

Arrogance?! Lien formed a scowl on her face, who was the arrogant one!
Hearing the dark haired girl who seemed to be almost...afraid without her brother, Lien made sure to smile kindly at her for her comment to the other brother and sister. Li quickly turned her head to JiHun, who was still fighting against her leg and she couldn't help but laugh. Right now, she didn't care if the other snobs thought she was laughing at nothing, at least she was laughing and not broading over a small social meeting.
Part of her wanted to excuse herself for the 'bathroom' and instead find a quiet place to rest until she could go home to people who were actually friendly, but then she knew that would be improper.
Right now she did not care for peace, they could all have their war and the kingdom of Selestia would be hidden away, happy and free. Who thought that moody teenagers could fix the adults problems! It is just making things worse.

Felix just sits back to let Abia direct the conversation. Watching her in action was so entertaining. About as entertaining as annoying the heck out of people, especially his parents, who were giving him looks.
He smiled innocently at them, while the wheels of his brain were turning, trying to figure out what he could do to annoy them.
When the girl waiting for her brother asked him to introduce him, he got his idea. "Well, I am the stuff of nightmares. The people call me the Light, the others, the Dark." He was being perfectly serious at this point.
His parents shot identical glares at Felix. He smiled at them peacefully. "What? I was merely introducing myself while being honest. You said that I should always be honest." He heard someone try to disguise a laugh.
His parents just glared harder at him. He smiled, if possible, even more innocently. Pushing buttons was fun. So was being honest.

As JiHun finally freed his leg, he grinned in victory. Head bowed so the others wouldn't see him grinning. He'd probably look like a crazy person. Shaking his head, he sent a pointed stare to the girl Lien was talking to. He really didn't like it when someone called his sister arrogant, or anything to that affect really. Sending a glance to his sister, he saw that she wasn't to happy about the arrangements either. Most likely wanting to go back to Selestia already. Finally as the man dressed in white, which is what JiHun will call him, started to talk.

"Well, I am the stuff of nightmares. The people call me the Light, other, the Dark." JiHun wanted to scoff, what kind of explanation was that? Was he just doing that to annoy his parents, if he was, bravo. Looking towards the young man's parents, he cocked his head studying them. He's never seen the kings or queens of the other kingdoms so it would be hard for him to distinguish who came from where. Shifting a bit, JiHun frowned, "I like the name Mr. Sarcasm better," he mumbled softly. Fingers tensing on the chair.

Abia blushed a bit and was thankful to be wearing a mask. She'd meant to say ignorance, yet somehow had confused it with arrogance. Was she really that scared? No, she wasn't scared of these people, only of her parents. And horses. Good grief, she hated horses!

She snapped out of it just as Felix began talking. She couldn't help but smile, because it was true. He was an oxymoron, a natural disaster waiting to happen. Maybe that was why she didn't like fire either... She closed her eyes, thinking of a poem that would go alone with this. "Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night/ What immortal hand or eye/ Could frame thy fearful symmetry?/ In what distant deeps or skies/ Burnt the fire of thine eyes?/ On what wings dare he aspire?/ What the hand dare sieze the fire?"

She smiled and opened her eyes. She wasn't all mouth and hatred. She was a scholar as well. Although she was unpleased by Lien's brother's soft response, she decided not to pursue it further. These siblings didn't seem like much of a threat, but the other girl who'd snapped at them earlier did. Clearly nobody had listened to Abia's preaching in the midst of insults.

"My name is Abia," she said simply. She would have to give away her name sometime or another. "I'll let my brother speak for himself. He's quite temperamental if you haven't noticed."

As Felix "introduced" himself Ana rolls her eyes. She scoffs and looks at his parents loving the way the looked at him. It made her chuckle seeing she couldn't do that to her parents. "Now,you two wanted to get this over with so. If your brother would just tell us his name we can move on. But,since he seems a little.......shy. I'll go." She saids rolling her eyes behind her mask. "My name is Ana,my brother's is Micheal and we are the prince and princess of Raven Valley." she saids keeping her face looking towards the others,she never had a hard time acting or lying so it came naturally to her. "See not so hard,who wants to go next."She saids smiling like nothing was wrong.

Looking as the young woman, Abia frowned at him, JiHun could only look away. He was a little embarrassed to have commented something like that, no doubt his father was giving him a steely eyed glare. Maybe the young man shouldn't have been so...ugh, he didn't know how to put it; however, he had enough common sense to know not to argue any further. Not like anyone argued, just maybe a little heated talking? Looking towards the woman Ana, he blinked a few times. Raven Valley wasn't a place he'd want to go to, or so his teachers taught him. It was one of the most dangerous kingdoms they had.

Fidgeting a bit, he raised his head looking at all the faces in the room. "I'm JiHun," the pronunciation wasn't that hard, "and of course my sister already introduced herself. We're from Selestia." He ended taking in a deep breath. There wasn't a lot to know about his Kingdom, but it's not like he knew anything about the others as well.

Felix made a face behind his mask. "I am not shy. I just have a dislike of disclosing my name... have any of you ever heard that if you tell people your name too much, your name will lose power and you will grow sick and die? I'm from here." It wasn't true about names... it was just old folklore. But still... maybe someone was gullible?
He leaned back in his chair, raising his eyebrows at his parents. He was directly challenging them, and with good reason. They expected him to be a puppet. He wasn't. He wouldn't be. They were making faces indicating their displeasure. Not that Felix cared. He almost never did care.
"Abia, wouldn't this be a good time for me to get a nickname?" He asked calmly, as if he hadn't been talking about people dying a few moments ago.

She raises an eyebrow and smirks. "Mm hm." Is all she saids before hearing probubly the youngest introduce himself. she smiles sweetly at him,at least he hadthe guts to say his name. She looks at the adults in the room,if it was her saying it she would be bursting out laughing but she had places to see and things to take. "Oh,I got a nickname for ya."She saids under her breath for no one could hear. "What should we call you then. Because unlike you I would like to look around a little before dinner arrives. She looks at the two blondes in the room seeing they haven't said anything at all. "Who are you two?" She asks nicely and smiles.

Keegan Ciel

Great now he had to go where the crowd was, socialize, be the better king. He had to show dignity and show to his father that he was good enough even though he knew that it was already a lost cause to try and prove it to his father. But Keegan would try his best.
He tidied his attire then went to fetch his sister in her room, the door was closed and he wasn't sure why his sister hadn't come out yet. He turned the knob but it was locked. Know he was getting worried. What if something had happened to her, what if this whole invitation was a set up to capture the princesses of the different kingdoms? Fiona!
"Fiona! Fiona are you in there? Answer me please!" Keegan was yelling loudly making his cries echo in the long, vast hallway, his voice was crackling with terror. His little sister could be in danger and he didn't want anything to happen to her.
He was pushing at the door slamming his body against it, the lock was broken for sure but something was blocking the door from the inside.

The beatifically painted pictures on the ceiling were enough to make her feel very relaxed. Flowers with long, flowing stems coiled around the humans and animals. The sky was a pastel blue accompanied with fluffy, soft white clouds. But the humans and animals held straight faces, unaware of the beautiful patterns and scenery around them. Fiona tore her eyes away from the gorgeous art and looked out the window, tipping her head back while still sprawled on the bed. Even though big bushy trees covered the view, she could tell it was sunny. Tweeting birds added the finishing touch. She sighed happily and rolled over onto her side. What could she call this feeling right now? Elation? Ecstasy? Glee?

“Bliss. I’m in absolute bliss. Nothing to make me worry, nothing to make me scared or unhappy, I’m just in a blissful mood. And the best thing is, no people!” Fiona decided, smiling to herself.

But she spoke too soon.

Fiona squealed and sat up straight as soon as she heard the loud thumping noise. Where was it coming from? Who is doing it? What exactly is it? Then she realized – the door. Someone was obviously banging on the door, trying to break it down as it seemed. She didn’t even realize the sound of the knob being turned. Fiona grabbed her knees, hugging them to her chest, and lowered her head, shaking with every thump and bang from the door. Then she heard her brother’s worried tone from outside the door. She lifted her head up slowly. He had interrupted her bliss? Fiona bit her lip worriedly. Keegan was desperate to get inside, and he seemed to be smashing his body against the door. But she didn’t want to go out. She didn’t want to see anyone. She wanted to just stay in this room for the rest of the day and get some peace and quiet. Now, she had to be brave and reject her brother. The door separated them, so it wouldn’t be so hard to speak against him. She took in a deep breath and grabbed a clump of hair, twisting it vigorously.

“Just leave me alone! I don’t want to speak to anyone!” She shouted over the banging and thumping.

"Who are you two?" a guest suddenly asked them.

Schuyler looked up to her brother as she elbowed him. She didn't want to answer. In fact, she didn't want to talk to anyone at all. But she suddenly remembered that it would be rude if she didn't answer the guest asking for their names. She did a quick nod to the girl then answered, " My name is Schuyler St. Claires. " Then she looked at her brother. " And this is my brother, Xavier " she added.

' Are all of the guests here really royals? Some people don't seem to have their manners ' Schuyler thought as she looked around her.

Keegan Ciel

He had panicked for nothing, his sister answered him and he just melted on the door. He was so glad that she was okay and that he was wrong about all that abducted thing, but she had worried him sick just because he wanted to be alone. He wanted for her to understand that he was mad at her but he knew that if he yelled at her she would never want to look at him or speak to him ever again so he sucked it up and locked all his anger inside of him.
"Alright, just come out whenever you're ready, I'll be at the ballroom where everyone else is," Keegan stepped aside from the room and waited a little bit before leaving.

There were a lot of people in the ballroom, all of them were having a civilized chat and Keegan wanted to talk to them too but he knew that first he needed to cool down from what had just happened. He went to the refreshments area and took a drink, there was a bit of alcohol in the drink but Keegan liked it. Since his mask was a full face mask it was hard for him to drink without showing his face so he went to a corner of the room and faced the wall then removed his mask. Since everyone was busy talking he suspected that no one would hear the sound of his mask braking on the stone wall. Now his mask was broken in a very jagged way under the nose but he would eat and drink without a problem.

Felix decided to shut up and reserve his comments for Abia. He knew that he was probably going to end up getting into some sort of strange mess before the day was over; messes had a way of finding him.
He turned his head to face Abia. "Abia? I'm fighting the urge to fight someone. Could I leave now?" His voice was emotionless and very quiet, he was breathing the words into her ear. He could feel himself just giving up on the civilized part of the plan. And he knew that if he hurt someone, he was going to get into trouble. And not the normal kind.
He stood up and left the room, knocking over the chair in the process. He really felt like breaking something.

Abia sighed heavily and looked at Felix. "No, because I'm not going to give you what you want no matter how bad you screw everything up in the end," she snapped at him, feeling more like her mother or father. But before she'd even finished, he was up and leaving. His chair clattered against the floor and echoed slightly, making her cringe at the sudden noise and stand up instantly.

"Excuse me for a moment," she said in a strained voice as she backed her chair away from the table. She turned and pushed it back in before noticing a boy in the corner. He could be dealt with later- right now, she needed to make sure Felix wasn't going to explode.

The brunette followed her younger brother out and did her best to shut the doors behind them. "Felix, I hate this as much as you do," she said in a low voice. "But right now, you are making us look more like idiots than we usually look. I am not ok with that and neither are Mom or Dad. If you want them to leave you alone, why don't you try keeping your mouth shut sometime, huh?" With that being said she whirled around and began to leave. "Join me if you will or go to your room or just somewhere! I don't care. I'm not letting these people mess with us in our own kingdom.

"You and I both know how humanity works- the privileged and the not. Those who are not tend to hate the other . We cannot go to war with Lorraine unless you really liked dangling by your neck from the gallows or having some foreign object through your body. If you enjoy that, than be my guest to piss everybody off." Not sure of what else to say or how he might respond to this, she left as quickly as she could, holding back tears.

She loved Felix, she really did, but he was just so difficult sometimes. Composing her self as best she could, she slowly approached the man in the corner. Abia looked at the ground and tapped him on the shoulder. "Would you like to sit down?" she asked in a weak voice.

Everything was a mess. Their meal surely wouldn't be any better. Oh, how she longed to run away and just fall asleep. But somebody had to rule the kingdom after her parents, and if it was Felix there wouldn't even be a capitol...

Felix listened to her quietly before walking away in the direction of the guest wing. Abia was much better at dealing than he was. He knew that, she knew that, and for some reason, their parents didn't. Or maybe their parents just didn't want to accept it.
He sighed and leaned his forehead against the cool stone wall. What was he supposed to do when he felt like a fish out of water? Felix had no idea how he would be able to deal with all the royals, even if he didn't know much about them except for their names and where they originated from.
He saw an already battered door. It was probable no one was in there, considering the condition of the door, and no one should be in the guest hallway anyway. They should probably be talking still.
He punched the door once, then again, the blows getting faster. He didn't really care if splinters worked his way into his skin. He just didn't want to explode at any living thing.

Keegan Ciel

Now that he didn't have to worry about his mask anymore he went to join the rest of the party and saw a brunette girl walk back in with a very displeased expression on her face. Apparently this reunion of kingdoms wasn't appreciated by anyone, but Keegan knew that he had to do something. He had to at least make a good impression of his crumbling kingdom.
"Hello, my name is Keegan," he went up to the girl and slightly bowed at her, though he didn't know that she was Abia Princess of Nevea, "Might I know who you are?"
Keegan could be a very gentle and gracious person when he tried but he had never shown it to anyone, not that his father cared or anything and he hadn't spoken to his sister until they had been invited to this party. Maybe he could do something right and this was his time to find out. He just wanted to have a chat with the girl, try and get to know her and maybe get out her impressions on his kingdom, Sercia.

Abia looked at Keegan, a bit amused by his slight bow. "Hello Keegan. My name is Abia. I'm from here you could say," she replied simply. She smiled a bit, then glanced at the others at the table. She really just wanted to go to sleep or eat. But talking to another person, who hopefully hadn't seen how aggressive she'd been earlier, helped just a bit.

She looked at his mask, which was a bit too morbid for her liking. The jagged edge of where he had broken it didn't really help. But this boy was not from Raven Valley. What impression was he trying to make then? More importantly, what kingdom was he from?
