Akira smiled. "I suppose you're right. But it does seem to make you happy though." she observed, looking at him closely. One of the guards were standing close by. Akira grinned at the guard, known as Kain. He grinned back, flicking his fingers in a way that meant, "I'm getting tired of standing on my feet all day." She tried hard not to giggle, although her shoulders were shaking with silent laughter. She looked up at Alexander and grinned. "I know a lot of the guards here," she told him. "Some have been with me since childhood." I hope we become best friends, she thought, but didn't want to say it. She eyed Kain again. He was now in the position known as 'parade rest'. His feet were a few inches apart from each other and his hands were linked behind his back. His gaze was focused straight forward now.
Shaking her head, Akira turned back to him. She nodded, knowing what he meant. "I know what you mean. Back at the convent the ladies would get into relationships with the guards. They thought they would make it last. But it would always end up within a month or so. Its not like I did anything," she protested, turning a delicate shade of crimson. "The ladies put on a false front. The men believed everything they said while I knew they were lying. And I didn't think that was right. It just seemed wrong to me. Least I don't put up a false front," she murmured under her breath,

Alexander stood and simply thought as the girl spoke, and he was surprised when he realized just how easy it was to talk to her, very unlike other people he had known and met before. Perhaps hear it was different, so far as he knew, Narnians were very intellectual and were considered rogues in Calormene, where he had lived before he discovered he could never die. At that point he had decided it was time for a move, a change, well actually...it was after his broken relationship, but who needed to know that besides himself? "There are few things these days that do, Akira. At least, for me." Alex admitted, before he looked away, his blue eyes gazing at the other guard Akira had been looking at, wondering at it for a moment, until Akira said about the childhood friend thing. Alexander grinned at the girl as she mentioned not doing anything to cause any relationships to get messed up. An eyebrow raised, and he tried his best not to laugh, and spoke quite simply, "Well, there's always that. I would wish to have had such a simple life." Alex glanced away, as always feeling uneasy about saying anything more than he should, and he found himself wondering what Akira would think if he told her the truth. But who was he kidding, really? He was called a demon by his dream girl, his fiance, and it was time to let it go. But there was still a risk, and so, Alex could never speak of it to anyone else.

She looked up at him with surprise. He seemed like an easy going young man. "Hard thing in life?" she wanted to know, then flinched. It wasn't like she was prying in his life. She was naturally curious enough. And she wanted to make him feel better. She was somewhat good at that. "Ah..life can hardly be simple enough. Well not for me anyways," she shrugged. There seemed to be her girlish charm around her. She was also bouncy, but she was controlling the urge to. She was a lot more happier. Kain shifted his position, eyeing her suspicously. Akira made a face at him. "I am behaving myself," she hissed at him. Kain grinned and shook her head. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at him. Laughing, the guard looked away. I will get him one day, she thought furiously. Akira grinned ever so sweetly at him. Her eyes narrowed as a sound of commotion came to her ears. What is going on this time?

Peter walked down the hall quciky. Akio was behind him sceaming at him wonting to know where he was. He turned aound qucikly at the man."I was out ok!" he spat and turned away and stromed off. He went into a room rear by. He looked over to the gurad standing out side and told him to leave. He shut the doors with a bang. He was so mad right now. Then he stooped in his tracks as he saw that Akira and some other person was here. He looked at the person,"Ah yes you must be Alexander, nice to meet you". He looked over to Akira,"That father of yours...." he said as he shook his head. He walked over to the close chair and sat down. His head was hurting and he need something hot. He looked to the gurad,'Well Alexander as your first duty is to call down to the maid's room and ask Amanda to bring me up some hot tea and something for my head".

Alexander nodded at Akira, and opened his mouth, ready to explain to her the situation, because she seemed interested, but then the High King himself came in, and he looked grumpy. Alex bowed, and hurriedly spoke, "The pleasure is all mine, my liege." Before he rushed off, letting the maids know, who had a servant bring up what the High King requested, it all went very fast. The servants rushed over to give the king his tea, but first Alexander tested it with his finger, making sure it wasn't poisoned. It was something he would take seriously, and since he couldn't die, it wouldn't matter for him if it was, but it would if Peter drank it. "It is not poisoned sir." Alexander announced, before he gave the tea to the High King, and the damp towel the king could put on his head, once again checking for anything dangerous before he gave it to Peter. Then Alexander backed up, so that he was at the side of the High King's chair again, on watch now that his leader was in the room, no longer conversing with Akira, though he really thought her a nice girl, and wanted to tell her his pleasant little secret.

Peter slowly drank some of his tea. it was helping and the damp cloth was worrking too. He looked to Alexander and smiled,"Thank you Alexander, I think i'll be off the bed now". He got up from the chair and moved to the door. He looked back to Alexander,"If anyone comes looking for me, Tell them that I am sleeping and don't wont to be waken up". He nodded to Arika,"Good night". He turned around and walked down the hall a bit untill he made it to his bed room. He changed and got into his bed. He was sure that Amanda would come up later to check on him. He like talking to her and deep down he somewhat felt that he loved her too. He smiled and layed his head down on the pillow and fell alseep.
