"By chance of a miracle, let's," Adalee smiled lightly to ease the tension, though it was still lingering in the air.  She watched Keyon for a moment before her eyes went to the unused wheelchair in the corner.  She eyed it for a moment before looking back at the other, "Do you want to go for a walk, by any chance?" "No," Benella answered, pursing her lips and stealing a glance at the path leading in from the nearby village, "I haven't seen him since last night, actually.  It seems a little odd he'd disappear," she paused for a moment, glancing thoughtfully at the ground, "but I'm sure he's helping out somewhere.  He's a kind man." (We should get this love triangle going. :P I'm in the mood for angsty-romance-etc.) "Not me, not Denne, not the children.  I would assume nothing about the others are special, even Hal," Vot gave a mischievious smile and toyed with the fabric of his arm sling, "Interest, you say? What kind of 'interest' would that be?"

Keyon glanced at the wheelchair for a moment before giving a small nod, " Sure, I think we both could use some fresh air." he said with a small sigh, hoping it would help both of them relax a little bit more. (Yeah, same.) Tyus finished helping her with the bandage, " He's okay..." he muttered, thinking to himself for a moment as he glanced around. " He's still a bit mysterious to me." he said, glancing at Benella for a moment. Ravi gave a small shrug, " Well, from what I've learned, she learned his true name, and gave hers in return. She knows the danger of that, yet she did it. Does that answer your question?" he said, eying the other for a moment. Knote made her way down the street, pulling her hood off after a moment, continuing down the street towards the main part of the school.

---

"Semi-fresh air," Adalee corrected but smiled nevertheless, standing and letting her skirts fall as she wheeled the device from the corner.  Keyon easily manuevered his legs and settled himself easily without her help, which brought even more of a genuince smile to her face.  As she pushed him through the halls and out of the building, she glanced around, "Where should we walk?" (Romantic drama is fun. ) Benella eyed him for a moment, eyebrow raised, before she let her curiously skeptical expresson fall.  Glancing at her bandaged arm, she quickly thanked him before she continued with the previous conversation, "You should spend more time with him.  I'm sure your suspicions just come from lack of contact." "Somewhat," Vot shrugged with an indifferent expression.  There was a brief silence as Vot's eyes darted around the room, lost for conversation.  He decided to continue with the topic, however, and added, "I just want to know if she's having an affair of sorts with the man.  Surely that can't be good for our plans, yes?"

---

Keyon thought for a moment, " If its not to much trouble, why don't we go to the town. Its been a while since I've been there." he said, glancing up at her for a moment, thinking for a moment. He hadn't been able to go into town since a few days before the accident in the archives. Tyus shrugged lightly, " There isn't much about him he actually shares. How much do you know about him Benella?" he asked, looking at the other master for a moment. He was a bit curious to know why she seemed so interested in the new master, since she hadn't shown much emotions towards anyone else. Ravi closed his book, putting it down on the edge of the table. " She wont do something that stupid...at least I hope not." he said thoughtfully, looking at the ground as he talked.

---

"That's fine.  I'm sure I could pick up some much needed supplies in the markets," Adalee nodded with a short look down at the other.  Her attention quickly traveled to the road ahead as she walked, and a comfortable silence befell the two.  The air outside, if smelling slightly of fire and decomposition, was relaxing as suspected; the tension in the Master's muscles had already eased by the time they started down the path. Benella gave an indignant huff, "That's a bit personal, Master Tyus," she mumbled with a dark look that quickly dissipated, "I know that he's been nothing but kind to me, and that if he were hiding something, whatever that might be, he does not strike me as the type to wait and act upon it.  I suppose my judgement is just as valid as yours, so I will ask this, why are to skeptical?" "I would, too," Vot laughed a bit, "I don't know, she doesn't seem like she'd do something so rash, so... personal, emotional, even.  She doesn't indulge in those activities very much it seems."

---

Keyon glanced ahead as they headed towards the town. He was glad to get out of bed, even if he hated the wheelchair, and get around a bit. He just hoped he would be able to move alone soon enough. His eyes watched ahead, looking at the people they passed. He glanced at a few people ahead, a few students, other villagers. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." Master Tyus said as he watched the students work for a moment before answering her question, " Like I said, I just don't understand him. His file doesn't provide enough information on who he is, I feel like he is hiding something big." he said. Knote made her way into the courtyard for now, glancing around for a second. She looked at the different students moving around, her eyes going to the two masters she recognized standing nearby talking. "Oh you'd be surprised. The woman you see here is completely new. You should have seen the one I met was more personal than you would believe. There are a few stories I can tell about her when she worked back in another town."

---

Adalee greeted a few of the students she recognize as she pushed Keyon through the crowd.  If she were being honest with herself, she liked being depended on by another- she supposed she would, considering her job- but with Keyon, she would rather be walking with him, not pushing him.  A mystery meant to be looked upon another day, she thought absently, smiling at herself as she made her, or their, way into the market. "I'm just a bit on edge, don't apologize," Benella muttered, sighing, "Well, if he is hiding something, I'll treat you to dinner. (Carley, file this away for later. :P) And if it turns out vice versa, well, I'm pretty sure it is not you I'll be dining with."  She said the last part with humor, hoping the other Master wouldn't take it too heavily, even if she somewhat did herself. "Do tell, if you will," Vot grinned, "I'd love to have some dirt on Knote." (WB)

---

Keyon watched the ground as he was pushed, thinking a long moment before speaking, " The town doesn't seem to change, no matter what is happening around it." he commented, noticing the same activities still happening around town. Tyus glanced at her for a moment, " I'll take your word on that Master Benella." he said with a smile, looking around for a moment, his eyes stopping on a young woman nearby. (slight wb) Ravi thought for a moment, " Knote came to one of the main get togethers the oldest prince holds almost every year. She was not hesitant to talk to most of the princes, even flirt with the ones that interested her."

---

Adalee watched the villagers complete simple, humble tasks and nodded, "What I would give for a life like this," she said quietly, "Just for a day, I'd like everything to remain stable."  She readjusted her grip on the chair as the crowd thickened the more they neared the markets, "Is there anything you would like to look at, Master Keyon?" Benella followed his gaze and examined the woman for a moment, pursing her lips at the unfamiliar face.  She was quickly distracted, however, as a group of students cleaning began to bicker, "Well, I've done enough slacking for today," she muttered to the other, "I'll see you around." With that, she walked off, the group of students almost dispersing at the very look she gave them.  (Mwhaha, that sounds corny as heck.) "Oh, I'd love to see that," Vot shook his head, his eyes going to the window for a moment as if he were afraid the woman of conversation were watching, "Did any return her affections, or did she make a fool of herself?"

---

Keyon glanced around for a moment before shaking his head, " Not right now." he said with a small smile, watching the road he could see ahead of them through the crowd that was growing fast. He had forgotten how quick this place became packed, people going from one store to the next. Tyus watched the other master walk away for a moment before glancing back in the direction the woman had been, but no longer was. He sighed lightly , making his way towards the main building for now, something bothering him as he made his way to the doors. "Yes, some did return her affections, those few were the three princes that ended up murdered in a time of three days, one prince for each day. That was what, five years ago." Ravi said thoughtful, " Of course she wasn't the one to kill them, her fiance was. He was the jealous type. Any man that returned her affections he would kill."
