Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

[it's a key. large and kind of ominous.

It probably opens that door you can faintly see behind Blind Michael's throne.]

[Huh.]

[Okay, will recall the blade into the hilt, still got the candle, and who knows how much the magic is in the candle. Hilt in a pocket and picking up the key to go investigate those doors.]

Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

[ It's one door, sturdy and simple. ]

[ It opens on a dank, dark cell with no windows and only one occupant:

A girl with brown hair, in a nightshirt and pants, lays curled on the floor ]

Re: The Throne Room

[Stepping inside with the candle. IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS?] Hey...

Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

[ The girl sits up, turning towards you, and it becomes immediately clear that this girl, though younger than you'd expect, is definitely Lucky. She has the same colorless fog-gray eyes, and the same facial features, though they're softer on this girl than on Lucky. ]

...Who are you? How did you get here?

Re: The Throne Room

[protectshisown]

[Been so long since I saw you, tiny Lucky.]

[He kneels down, smiling.] What? I'm almost hurt, don't you recognize your fellow viking friend? [She might not 'remember' like the other Lucky, but he'll try.]

Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

[ Her eyes flick over his face as he gets closer, and she relaxes almost immediately. ]

Rider. Did you come to rescue me?

Re: The Throne Room

[protectshisown]

Well duh. A viking doesn't leave their fellow behind, nor does a friend. Just had to find where you were.

Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

I'm supposed to be a hero. I shouldn't have needed saving.

[ she doesn't look too horribly torn up about it, though ]

I'm glad you came.

Re: The Throne Room

[protectshisown]

Every hero needs saving sometimes. Some people just like to embellish the stories.

Anytime. I'm just sorry it took so long. Wanna get out of here? [Offering his free hand.]

Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

Yes.

[ She takes your hand and gets to her feet, then completely neglects to let go. ]

[ Look, it's been a rough few months. ]

Re: The Throne Room

[protectshisown]

[That's fine. We can hold hands for a while.]

Let's go then.

[And keeping a hold on that candle and heading back?]

Re: The Throne Room

[balancetheblood]

[ As long as you keep hold of the candle, you'll be back to the office in what seems like about half the time it took going the other way. ]
