"Shh. It's fine. You can come to me at any time you need, Princess. If you need anything you know I'm always here. Just come on in. Everything is going to be fine." Tristan gathered Princess Alena in his arms and carried her inside to the decorative bench they had near the front door. As carefully as he could he placed the lovely Princess on the bench. He could tell she was very distressed, she needed comfort and a peace of mind. He took her hand. "My lady, you needn't apologize for coming so late... Like I said I am forever in debt to you. We'll start looking for your sister at dawn, alright? She will be returned home safely."

It was then when Meridia stumbled out of Tristan's bedroom with her blonde locks a mess. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked around for the voice of her brother as for she hated sleeping alone. At first she didn't realize who he was talking to and as soon as Meridia saw the Princess she shyly began to suck her thumb and then stumbled into the shared bedroom with her mother.

Tristan watched his sister go, then turned back to Alena. "Would you something to drink? The only thing we really have is herbal tea. My mother makes the best when she can. It'll help you relax for sure." Frowning, he looked down at he floor. "I can't even image what this must be like for you, how stressful it must be. I'm truly sorry."
